The EU’s Climate Leadership: Global Solution or Green Imperialism?

On November 7th, 2024, the Metropolitan University Prague hosted a conference titled Global Climate Change Mitigation and the Role of the EU. Held under the prestigious Jean Monnet Chair program. The event gathered over 100 students alongside presenting scholars, researchers, and NGO representatives to critically assess the EU’s role in addressing global climate challenges. Centered around the thought-provoking question of whether the EU’s climate leadership is genuinely global or primarily self-serving, the conference featured two insightful panels each followed by fruitful discussions, and was complemented by a plant-based buffet that underscored the event’s green theme.
