Seniors have founded or joined climate organisations worldwide, that aim to influence policymakers, both regionally and nationally. In 2019, the European Union adopted the European Green Deal, which includes the goal of Europe reaching Net Zero by 2050. As a result, several senior citizen climate organisations in Europe decided to create a cooperation network focused on the implementation of the Green Deal by disseminating information, knowledge, and methods, and supporting climate action across Europe. The cooperation network is self-organised and independent of political forces and ties together several climate protection organisations in the countries involved. Thus, the Danish organisation Besteforældrenes Klimaaktion, the Swedish organisation Grand Panthers, the Finnish organisation Ilmastoisovanhemmat, and the Norwegian organisation Besteforeldrenes klimaaksjon are all part of this European network. There are also organisations from other countries on the European continent and Great Britain. The organisation has held digital meetings and publishes a joint newsletter four times a year. The Norwegian organisation is currently working on setting up a website for the network to create a joint digital platform for these organisations. The website is expected to be ready at the end of 2023.
In the following months, likely in the spring of 2024; a conference will be staged in Strasbourg, France; where members of the European network from all over Europe will meet and collaborate on organising a meeting with the Commission or the President of the EU.
