The Europe Regional Meeting 2020 was held online from 24-25 November, 2020 and hosted by RCE East Midlands under the theme 'Climate Emergency: Joined-up Action'. 

The two-day online event brought together members of European RCEs, and those with an interest in collaborative local action and learning for sustainability.

Short talks were pre-recorded (available below), which left space during the conference for discussion on talks or interactive online workshops. 

The programme included a wide range of short talks and interactive workshops, addressing local climate action, nature education in schools, climate justice education and much more, along with evening social activities.
