Leading the Charge for a Sustainable Future

We work together to protect nature in Kosovo

Climate change has been known to disrupt weather conditions globally and with 2023 being the hottest year on record, the European Union needs to use its influential position to push for a more ambitious climate agenda, by promoting decarbonisation and reaching climate neutrality by 2040.

A revolutionised EU Climate Strategy

We're taking big steps to make the EU greener by 2025. We plan to extend the Emissions Trading System (ETS) to include negative emissions and to cover at least 90% of all emissions under a single cap. But we’re not just proposing rules, we’re helping people. We want to ensure that most of the revenue generated by ETS goes back to the communities affected by climate change the most.

The cards display green environmental icons: on the left, a circular recycling symbol; in the middle, a cloud labeled “CO₂” with arrows pointing downward, representing carbon capture or reduction; and on the right, a recycling triangle symbol. This image conveys themes of sustainability and environmental responsibility.

A greener travel alternative

We are determined to upgrade your travel experience across Europe, by offering you greener, comfortable and cheaper alternatives. For that, we are investing in the European rail system so that you can enjoy comfortable international and night trains. We know booking international train trips can be complicated, so we also want to launch a super convenient platform where you can easily book your trips from Porto to Oslo and all the way to Bucharest!

Powering up Europe through a green energy overhaul

We believe that phasing out coal, stopping new fossil fuel drilling and banning fossil fuel ads are an essential step to tweak our energy systems to become smarter and more efficient. But that’s not all, we’ll invest in cutting-edge research to diversify our portfolio of renewable energy sources. We will also work on producing eco-friendly hydrogen to power industries and transport by 2040 and we’ll swap out natural gas with biogas in your home, with a cap price so you get to enjoy greener energy at a lower price.

Our political themes

Volt has defined 5+1 fundamental Challenges that need to be tackled in each European country and in Europe as a whole.

Why 5 + 1 Challenges?

The 5 Challenges are basically the same for every country, but their implementation can be adapted on the national level to take into account local realities.

The +1 Challenge – our proposal to reform and strengthen the EU – is identical across all our national programmes.
