Event type: Hybrid
A struggle for the climate is very often also a struggle for biodiversity – the two causes which are at the heart of the Green agenda, at the global, national, regional and local levels. We will show how the Greens support civil society in preventing dirty investments on all the continents and what are the links between these fights.
