Protection of the environment and sustainable development

Young people in particular feel strongly affected by climate change and the challenges presented by future energy provision. How can individual citizens be given stronger incentives to make their own contribution? The proposal which will be discussed here envisages the creation of an EU- Climate Fund, through which incentives for every citizen to act in a climate-friendly manner would be provided. In addition, the idea of imposing a special tax on non-recyclable consumer goods in Europe will be debated.
