Green European Foundation

About

Green European Foundation is a European political foundation, part of the Green European family, funded by the European Parliament. The mission of GEF is to contribute to the development of a European public sphere and to foster greater involvement by citizens in European politics, ultimately forging a stronger, more participative democracy. Green European Foundation aims to bridge the gap between activism at the national level and the decisions that are being made at the European level. Green European Foundation acts as a platform to discuss Europe’s shared challenges and to stimulate discussions on European policies and politics. By bringing diverse actors together, from European to national foundations, activists, academics and NGOs, Green European Foundation strives to build together a more sustainable, social and democratic European Union. Rooted in political ecology, Green European Foundation develops projects that formulate actions and policies towards sustainability and social justice. Green European Foundation communicates this vision to a wider public by acting as a laboratory for new ideas and a space for exchanging best practices in Europe.
