The European Environment Agency has launched a call for expressions of interest to appoint the 15 members of the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change for its 2026–2030 term. This call is now open and available on the EEA website.

About the Advisory Board

The European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change is an independent body providing the European Union (EU) with scientific knowledge, expertise and advice relating to climate change. The Advisory Board evaluates policies and identifies actions and opportunities to successfully achieve the EU’s climate targets. It was established in 2021 by the European Climate Law and consists of 15 independent senior scientific experts covering a broad range of relevant disciplines. Further information on the Advisory Board, its mandate and publications is available on the Advisory Board website.

 Key features of the call

• The members of the Advisory Board will be appointed in a personal capacity and give their positions completely independently of the Member States and the Union institutions. This independence is essential to ensure impartial and evidence-based advice.
• The selection aims to ensure gender balance and geographical diversity. Applications from younger scientists with at least 10 years of professional experience are also encouraged.
• The term of appointment will cover four years (2026–2030), with the possibility of reappointment one time.
