Dear friends,

Expectations are high for the 30th World Climate Conference (COP30) in Brazil, which officially ends today, Friday. Ten years after the historic COP21 in Paris, there is reason for hope: while in 2015 the world was still on track for 3.6°C of warming by 2100, ten years after Paris the figure is now 2.6°C. That sounds good at first, but even 2.6°C is still catastrophic.

At the same time, the gap to the Paris target of 1.5°C, and thus to a reasonably manageable level of warming, is growing ever wider. Hard-won measures to protect the climate and the environment are being systematically attacked and weakened. And there is little movement on the fair sharing of the costs of adapting to climate impacts.

In this Europe Calling webinar, we therefore want to do two things:

1. We take a close look at the results of the World Climate Conference with leading climate researcher Prof. Niklas Höhne and ask whether they can bring the world back on track to Paris.
2. To answer the questions ‘What now?’ and ‘How do we regain strong majorities for climate protection?’, we will hear two different voices: from climate activist Carla Reemtsma (Fridays for Future Germany) and Ed Jarvis from the UK initiative ‘ClimateMajorityProject’, which addresses these questions with its own often exciting new strategies.

Date: Wednesday, 26 November 2025, 6:00–7:30 p.m. CET

With interpretation in German and English.

With climate-friendly regards,

Max, Amélie and everyone at Europe Calling e.V.
