Ahead of International Women´s Day on 8 March, the women's rights committee will mark the occasion with a conference on Thursday. Participants will take stock of the progress made since the Beijing Declaration on gender equality 25 years ago during panel discussions on women in the economy and women’s role in the fight against climate change.

Climate change

Parliament President David Sassoli will open a meeting of Mayors from across Europe in Parliament on Wednesday. They will debate how to move towards climate neutral cities - cities that don't emit more gases than they can naturally absorb, clean or compensate.
