Kick-Off of the Klima-Biergerrot

On 29 January, the Klima-Biergerrot will be officially launched during a public livestream event. Later that day, the Klima-Biergerrot will meet for the first time and learn about the organisational details before starting its work in early February.

The first part of the Kick-Off is open to the public. The purpose of the session is, firstly, to make an inventory of the climate policy, and secondly, to hear a presentation by Mr Andrew Ferrone, Head of the Meteorological Service within the Ministry of Agriculture, Viticulture and Rural Development and Luxembourg's representative within the World Meteorological Organisation, on the link between climate change and meteorological phenomena.
