Journalists! Mark your calendars – or let us do it for you. Europe is complicated and even journalists from EU member states sometimes have trouble understanding how climate and energy policy is made and when institutions take key decisions. This timeline highlights key European energy and climate events and developments and contains the brief background information needed to kick-start your coverage.
For more information on key steps and developments in the 2024 election year, see the CLEW fact sheet The climate in the EU elections in 2024 and the formation of the bloc's future leadership.
You can find further information on events and developments in the field of climate and energy in Europe in the legislative train schedule of the European Parliament on the Green Deal in the European Parliament, in the calendar of events of the Belgian Presidency of the Council and in the calendar of the press of the Council.
