摘要:The EU has always been at the forefront of tackling environmental issues. This paper responds to
the EU‟s „call for action‟ towards addressing the issue of climate change – a key priority for the
European Commission in the 2030 policy perspective. The topic is addressed through a focus group
that seeks to identify and disseminate possible approaches through which the EU can leverage its
international „actorness‟ in negotiating a straightforward and binding global agreement for action
in climate change mitigation. The focus group involves a sample of students, beneficiaries of an
environmentally focused Jean Monnet teaching module (TAG-EU). The diverse academic
background of the students (coming from social, natural and exact sciences) provides a unique
point of view in tackling this ardent issue and can bring valuable and interdisciplinary
contributions to the discussion on climate change action.
