The EU faced several crises during the Parliament’s last term, notably the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. However, advanced by the new Commission President von der Leyen and her European Green Deal, one of the major issues the Parliament was supposed to tackle was the climate crisis and the transition to climate neutrality. In line with the European Green Deal, the European Commission indeed prioritised mitigating climate change as part of the European agenda after the 2019 EP elections. However, in the later period of the legislature, farmers’ protests across Europe encouraged in particular conservative political parties to challenge this European Green Deal. Against this background, we expected that the issue of how best to combat climate change would be widely debated in campaigns for the 2024 EP elections. Therefore, based on manifesto data from the main transnational party federations, we empirically study (using a mixed-methods approach) both the salience and framing of policies covering climate change-related issues in the 2024 EP election campaign. Our findings suggest that in these elections there is some evidence for a “greening” of Europarties: climate policy is more salient and parties engage intensively with the issue. However, marked differences regarding the importance accorded to climate policy emerge along a left-right divide. This is in line with much of the current research on partisan politics.
