The increasingly alarming climate changes around the world have prompted politicians to prioritize climate and environmental issues. On the European continent, where record temperatures and wildfires have ravaged during the summer months, member states agree that stronger measures are needed to stop carbon dioxide emissions. However, as the EU's ambitions have increased, climate-skeptical and EU-skeptical parties have grown stronger in the member states. In the upcoming European Parliament elections in June, it is predicted that the right-wing groups European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) and Identity and Democracy (ID) will gain more power in the parliament. If this becomes a reality, how will a more climate-skeptical parliament affect the implementation of measures to achieve climate goals? This question was discussed by three experts in environment, climate, and trade at a seminar organized by the Centre for European Research during Sustainability Week in Lund on April 10, 2024.
