Peace and Security in Europe – A Green Way? (Zagreb)
Curious to delve into conversations about peace and security policy in Europe and explore how we can tailor it to align with the principles of political ecology? Join us in-person for a day of insightful discussions!
About the event
This in-person event, hosted by the Green European Foundation with the support of Sustainable Development Forum Green Window, will delve into critical discussions surrounding the future of EU defence, alternative models to NATO, the intersections of political ecology and (post)pacifism during times of conflict, and the pivotal role of civil protection in peacebuilding. Through engaging panel discussions featuring expert insights, we aim to collectively shape the Green perspective of peace and security in Europe.
Project background
This event is a part of Green European Foundation’s Green Visions on European Security project, which aims to explore how the Greens could adopt the necessary tools to understand contemporary conflicts and develop mechanisms to anticipate, respond, and terminate them. By facilitating a frank discussion on key tension points and vacuums, across historical, geographical, and national sensitivities, and with political ecology values at its core, GEF and its partners contribute to the green movement’s reflections and anchoring of an updated vision on security and defence.
