In Eastern and Southern Europe, new climate movements and political ecology actors have emerged, and there is a recognizable and growing demand for green contents, ideas and connections. GEF is working on consolidating the greening of the public debate and political sphere in South and the East.
This will be done by bringing together green foundations, NGOs and think tanks working in the region to connect people and content, to facilitate synergies, and advance knowledge sharing political education. Specifically in Central and Eastern Europe, we aim to support the build-up of a self-sustaining community community of green political foundations (and equivalent actors).
The event will be facilitated by the Green European Foundations Co-Directors, Ioana Banach and Laurent Standaert.
