Young People for Hungary’s New Climate Law
Date: 04 December 2025, 13:30-16:30
Location: Európa Pont, 1024 Budapest, Lövőház utca 35.
According to the decision of the Constitutional Court, Hungary must adopt a new climate law by June 30, 2026. This is a historic opportunity for us to shape the future together and create regulations that truly protect people, communities, and nature.
The Hungarian Association of Nature Conservationists (MTVSZ) and numerous environmental organizations have jointly launched the New Climate Law for a Livable Future! initiative, in which they assign an important role to young people. This conference is about ensuring that your opinions and ideas are included in the joint proposal package.
