Europe Day - Open Doors 2022 - Green Deal Village

The European Institutions are once again opening their doors to citizens. On Saturday 7 May, from 10:00 to 18:00 you can visit the European Commission building in Berlaymont (near round point Schuman) and discover several of the topics being managed by the European Commission. One of the areas you can visit and learn more about it is the ‘Green Deal Village’.

Climate change and environmental degradation are an existential threat to Europe and the world. To overcome these challenges, we aim to transform the EU into a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy, with no net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050.

In the European Green Deal Village, you will have the opportunity to learn how you can help us tackle these threats. You will also learn what activities and actions have already been taken to achieve the goals of the European Green Deal.
