Abstract
Human-induced climate change will challenge the solidarity between peoples that forms the basis of the European Union. Today, solidarity is under pressure from nationalist and populist movements that may prevent urgently needed action on climate change. Populists threaten the recognition of global scientific knowledge and undermine the potential for sustainability-driven modernisation vital for continued economic and social progress. Mission 2020 is a global initiative urging for rapid emissions reductions. Through taking up Mission 2020’s call for a just transformation, the European Union can renew itself and expand its purpose.
