YOUR PLANET. YOUR EU. YOU DECIDE.

ClientEarth calls for the European Union to strengthen the rule of law and governance to address climate, biodiversity, and pollution crises. The organization advocates for the creation of a European Commission Vice-President for People and the Environment to oversee the European Green Deal's implementation and urges the EU to end public financial support for harmful activities, specifically fossil fuels and energy-intensive industries. The manifesto emphasizes the need for increased enforcement capacity at both EU and national levels and the strengthening of environmental democracy to ensure public participation and access to justice.

• ClientEarth argues that the EU must integrate environmental protection, health, and the just transition into all decision-making processes to prevent decisions from being taken at the expense of nature and people.
• The document asserts that while the European Green Deal provided a foundation, there is a current need to address its gaps and ensure it is fully implemented, enforced, and socially fair.
• To improve governance, ClientEarth proposes the appointment of a European Commission Vice-President for People and the Environment to be accountable for the consistency and planning of the Green Deal's climate, nature, and social commitments.
• The manifesto calls for a review of EU funding to eliminate public financial support for harmful activities, specifically naming fossil fuels and energy-intensive industries, while applying the polluter pays principle.
• ClientEarth recommends increasing the resources and capacity of enforcement bodies at both the EU and national levels and strengthening environmental democracy to uphold rights to information, public participation, and justice.
