Youth Policy Dialogue with Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra - Climate, Net Zero, Clean Growth and Taxation

On the request of President von der Leyen, all Commissioners are holding a Youth Policy Dialogue within the first 100 days of the mandate, which will then be repeated annually.

The objective of the dialogue is to enable young people to express their views on policy initiatives under the Commissioner’s portfolio.

As Commissioner Hoekstra is responsible for climate, net zero and clean growth, as well as taxation, his first Youth Policy Dialogue will focus on EU climate policy, the just transition and jobs and skills for the clean transition, and fair and green taxation for a competitive EU.

Around 20 young people from all over Europe will be participating in the dialogue in Brussels, but the event will also be livestreamed, allowing external participants to ask questions online.
