EU CITIZENV is an initiative launched by the European Commission - Directorate General for the Environment. It is designed as a citizen dialogue (an open discussion between citizens and an EC official) and focuses on the environment and young people (18-25 years old) as they are the new generation of Europeans.

By asking the same five questions in a very friendly and participatory way in several EU Member States, we will be able to gather ideas on what young Europeans care about in relation to European environmental policies, how they see their environment in 2030, and the most important issue they want the EU to address when it comes to the environment.

European Commission (EC)

The European Commission is the executive body of the EU and runs its day-to-day business. It is made up of the College of Commissioners, 27 European Commissioners, one for each member state, who are each responsible for one or several policy areas. In addition, the 'Commission' also refers to the entire administrative body that supports the Commissioners, consisting of the Directorates-General and the Services.

The European Commission is the sole EU body capable of proposing new legislation. The Commission also performs an oversight function, monitoring whether European legislation is properly implemented in the member states. In the event of non-compliance, the Commission can coerce a member state to comply by starting a legal procedure at the European Court of Justice.
