Initiative for a strong climate law
The year 2022 brought to Slovakia the preparation of the first climate protection law, which can significantly help Slovakia prepare for the effects of climate change and set our country towards a sustainable, carbon-free and socially just future.
About us
The Climate Coalition is an independent, non-partisan group of organizations promoting ambitious climate policies based on sustainability and human rights. Operating informally without rigid membership rules, the coalition utilizes democratic procedures
and civic participation.
To achieve its goals, the group actively engages the public and uses various tools for civic involvement. It does not support any political party, nor does it participate in partisan campaigns. Member organizations and individual activists maintain full autonomy, and their personal political activities do not represent or influence the coalition. Furthermore, the coalition strictly respects the civil and political rights of all its members. Consequently, any individual exercise of these rights remains a personal matter entirely separate from
the coalition's official stance.
