    To mark the tenth anniversary of the Paris Agreement, the ENVI Committee is organising a conference that will take place on Thursday 11 December, from 13:00 to 16:00, in Brussels. It will gather actors of the Paris Agreement, including Laurent Fabius, the Chair of COP21, and stakeholders representing different interests, such as the scientific community, business and civil society.

The conference "From Promise to Action - 10 years of the Paris Agreement" will therefore aim to assess what has been achieved, identify gaps and reaffirm the EU's global leadership in climate action.

    On Monday, 15 December, the Committees on Foreign Affairs and on Development and the Subcommittee on Human Rights will hold a joint exchange of views with representatives of the 2025 Sakharov Prize laureates Andrzej Poczobut from Belarus and Mzia Amaglobeli from Georgia.

    Andrzej Poczobut is a journalist, essayist, blogger and activist from the Polish minority in Belarus. Known for his opposition to Alexander Lukashenko's regime, he has become a symbolic figure in the struggle for freedom and democracy in Belarus. Detained since 2021 and sentenced to eight years, he has endured solitary confinement. In a resolution adopted on 15 March 2023, the European Parliament called Andrzej Poczobut's immediate and unconditional release. Mzia Amaglobeli, a Georgian journalist and director of online media outlets Batumelebi and Netgazeti, is the first female political prisoner in Georgia since its independence, and a fighter for freedom of expression. Detained in 2025 and imprisoned for two years, Amaglobeli has become a prominent symbol of Georgia's pro-democracy protest movement. The European Parliament demanded on 19 June 2025 Mzia Amaglobeli's immediate and unconditional release and condemned the Georgian Dream authorities.
