The Green European Foundation will host a debate on 26 October in Berlin about the potential impacts of Brexit, with the help of our partner Heinrich-Böll-Foundation.

The event is a part of the ongoing transnational project “The potential impact of Brexit on the prospects for a Green transition in Europe” which attempts to support the much-needed public discussion of Brexit’s impact on individual Member States, as well as on the EU level, while exploring what this means for the Green movements’ endeavour in the transition to sustainability.
