European Students’ Union embraces the idea of a binding climate law though the deadline should be 2040 not 2050. We take positive note of the intentions of climate proofing of investments and taking into account climate costs, strengthening incentives for developing climate-friendly and sustainable practices, products and technologies, as well as integration into the European Semester process.

What they argued
The European Students Union (ESU) represents 40 national student unions across 43 countries. For ESU, the upcoming Skills Portability Initiative (SPI) must build on rather than duplicate existing European frameworks for recognition and mobility.
The European Students Union (ESU), representing more than 20 million students across Europe, welcomes the European Affordable Housing Plan as a long-overdue acknowledgement that Europe faces not only a housing crisis, but a social crisis that directly undermines the right to education.
The European Students Union welcomes the proposal of a European Disability Card and thanks the European Commission for the opportunity to give feedback. We believe in equal access to higher education and that all students should be able to move freely and study their chosen subject anywhere in Europe.
The European Students Union represents around 20 million students through our member unions in 40 countries across the European Higher Education Area. We welcome the initiative of a European Disability Card. It will support equal access to a wide range of services for persons with disabilities across the European Union. The card has the potential to support the mutual recognition of disability status across Europe.
The European Students Union (ESU) is an umbrella organisation representing 40 National Student Unions from 43 different countries. For ESU, the upcoming strategy for VET should focus on 4 different points: VET as a public good ESU stresses that VET must be recognised first and foremost as a public good, not merely as an instrument to address short-term labour market shortages.
The European Students Union (ESU) welcomes the proposal of the European Commission to designate 2023 as the European Year of Skills (EYS), looking forward to ensuring that the designation would not only increase momentum for the importance of skills and skills sets in a fast-changing society, but would also bring forward key developments in the sector, with a focus on the essential role of education and training.
The European Students’ Union (ESU) is the umbrella organisation of 45 National Unions of Students from 39 countries. Our members are student-run, autonomous, representative and operate according to democratic principles. ESU was formerly known as ESIB – The National Unions of Students in Europe.
