Future of Europe

We need system change.

Across Europe people’s lives are blighted by the same problems; inequality, hardship, precarious work, weakened public services, discrimination, powerlessness over decisions that affect our lives, and environmental destruction and pollution.

These issues will not be solved by nationalism and division. We believe these problems are best tackled together. And that solidarity, cooperation and democracy are key to transforming our societies for the better.

We stand in solidarity with people facing injustice everywhere. We cooperate across borders to create more sustainable, caring, democratic, equal societies.

We call for governments to also cooperate internationally, and for a strong civic space so that people and organisations can campaign for the public interest. We believe Europe can be part of creating a more sustainable, caring, democratic, resilient, equal and inclusive world.

European Green Deal

The European Green Deal has the potential to transform Europe’s economy to help fix the climate and ecological crises, and support workers in the transition. But it is in danger of being too little, too late.
