We have been asked to repeat the aims of the GNDE. We would stress that we regard the GNDE as a great Forum in which the energies to bring about radical change in European environmental and social policies converge. Below is a short explanation.
“The Green New Deal for Europe is an international campaign for a swift, just, and democratic transition to a sustainable Europe. Founded in April 2019 by DiEM25, the Green New Deal for Europe campaign aims to unite Europe’s communities, unions, parties, and activists behind a shared vision of environmental justice.”
It means:
“Fighting for a swift transition away from fossil fuels that protects frontline communities, empowers workers, and redresses Europe’s historic role in resource extraction around the world.”
This is possible through four key steps:
- Crafting a shared vision
We are building a broad coalition of citizens, research organisations and civil society groups to contribute to a shared vision of Europe’s ecological transformation.
- Building People Power
We are training a generation of activists to organise their communities, grow our movement, write for a public audience, and advance our shared vision in diverse communities across the continent.
- Building Political Power
We are mobilising to disrupt business as usual, deploying our people power to advocate for our shared vision on the streets.
- Constructing a new common sense
We are deploying our political power in the media, across all levels of government, and in our communities to shift the policy paradigm and build a new common sense.https://diem25.org/campaign/green-new-deal/
