The European Committee of the Regions (CoR) is urging for accelerated, responsible and multilevel action to keep the world on track for achieving the pollution reduction, climate and biodiversity targets and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in a socially and economically just manner and within the planetary boundaries. In an opinion adopted at the plenary session on 19 June, cities and regions are calling to build more synergies between the biodiversity, climate and sustainable development agendas to develop a Global Green Deal framework. The opinion presents the CoR's political priorities for the climate and biodiversity COPs and the UN Summit of the Future in the second half of 2024.
