Sustainable Development has been evolving as a guiding principle in European politics, and Europe has demonstrated strong leadership in climate change mitigation. This essay explores the sustainable development discourse in Europe and how it has driven unified European Union action on climate change. As climate change is one of the biggest long-term problems facing humanity, Europe’s proactive role in international negotiations has been of crucial importance to secure international agreements. In spite of the complexity of the European Union decision making process, member states have demonstrated a precedent of working collaboratively to achieve strong cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. Support and re-enforcement has come from many levels. Sustainable Development discourse and the urgency created by climate change has been a cohesive force in internal EU politics and a part of Europe’s international agenda. As Europe leads by example in climate change mitigation, sustainable development becomes part of its external identity. The EU will play a crucial role in forming a successful outcome at the 15 Conference of the Parties of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. In the face of Economic Concern, the EU must re-affirm and demonstrate its commitment to unity, and ambition for a sustainable future.
