We are Europe's leading NGO coalition fighting dangerous climate change.
About us
Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe is Europe's largest coalition working on climate and energy issues. With over 200 member organisations in more than 40 European countries, representing over 44 million citizens, CAN Europe works to prevent dangerous climate change and promote sustainable climate and energy policy in Europe. The vision of CAN is a world actively striving towards and achieving the protection of the global climate in a manner that promotes equity and social justice between peoples, sustainable development of all communities, and protection of the global environment. CAN Europe empowers civil society organisations to influence the design and development of effective climate change policy in Europe, both in the European Union as well as in its Member States and in European countries outside the EU. CAN Europe is recognised as an established civil society voice in both EU policy and the UN climate negotiations. We work to influence decision-makers at the heart of Brussels while supporting our diverse network of members to campaign from grassroots up to governmental level in Members States. CAN Europe works on a broad range of issues including climate, energy and finance policies, to contribute to the zero carbon transition that should allow us to avoid dangerous climate change. We do that with a great team of experts in the CAN Europe secretariat as well as with hundreds of staff from our member organisations, that engage through working groups, mailing lists, conference calls and our bi-annual General Assemblies.

⏳ Europe’s climate checkpoint: national climate plans not on track By tomorrow, March 15, all EU countries must submit progress reports on their National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs)—an important moment to assess where we stand and what’s needed to accelerate climate action. Yet, missed deadlines, weak ambition, and lack of transparency continue to hold back progress. Several countries still haven’t submitted their updated NECPs, delaying the EU’s overall assessment. Meanwhile, key reports highlight that emission reductions must triple to meet 2030 targets. The NECP process isn’t just about compliance—it’s an opportunity to drive real change, ensuring a just transition that benefits people, businesses, and the planet. Governments must act now to turn plans into action. BLOG: https://lnkd.in/dfKd2u_B

🚨 Who’s missing from the EU’s steel talks? 🚨 The European Commission has launched a 'Strategic Dialogue on the Future of Steel'—but it seems more like a monologue with no seat for civil society at the table. Steel is one of Europe’s biggest climate challenges and public money is pouring into the sector. Yet, the same industry that delayed green investments now dominates the discussion on its future. Industrial policy is public policy. It must serve people, climate & workers—not just corporate profits. A just transition demands accountability, strong conditions on public subsidies & real civil society inclusion. Just because it is about ‘industry’ doesn’t mean it should be dictated by industry executives. We need green steel, not backroom deals.

🌍 This March 8, we are reminded that a just future needs gender and climate justice. A true just transition must allow people to live in dignity within planetary boundaries. It must prioritize the most vulnerable communities already bearing the highest costs of inequality and climate change. It must center gender equality, ensuring women’s voices and leadership are prioritized over the perpetuation of an exclusive and patriarchal system that underpins the very causes of climate change and the economic model leading us to this crisis ✨ ➡️Read the full blog by Chiara Martinelli, Director of CAN Europe, on #IWD2025 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dDEc5C2M
