We called for this Assembly of EUMANS members with a deadline in mind and with a key question for all of us.
The deadline is the EUMANS Constituent Assembly to be held before June 2021.
The European Citizen Initiative "StopGlobalWaming.Eu" and Eumans, in cooperation with the European Parliament office in Italy, are inviting you to the online conference:
On November 12th 2020 the Mayor of Frankfurt, Peter Feldmann, publicly endorsed the European Initiative StopGlobalWarming.eu for a carbon pricing in the EU. The Mayor joins the group of Municipalities and Regions who are taking a stand against climate change and committing to increase the knowledge of citizens of their rights to take part in EU politics through participatory democracy instruments.
Making Participatory Democracy truly work is a challenge, and the Eumans know something about it. It is very much about information. The Right to Information is something that every and each citizen has, to be informed on their political rights and on what is happening in the public sphere.
Mogens Lykketoft was the United Nations Assembly President of the Paris Agreement in 2015. He also served in Denmark as Ministry of Finance and Foreign Affairs. His endorsement for StopGlobalWarming.eu, the proposal for a carbon pricing policy in the European Union, and his invite to sign and get others to sign the official European Citizens Initiative is extremely important. Watch the 1-minute video he shared with us:
