Next in our #SummerReadings series: Geopolitics of a post-growth Europe. 🌎🕊️If you haven't already, delve into what would the end of economic #growth mean for #geopolitics. Could a EU that is the first to embrace #postgrowth still be a global actor? Would it be able to defend itself, its allies, democracy, human rights, and the international rule of law at a time when aggressive autocracies are invading or threatening their democratic neighbours?

About us
We are a European political foundation, part of the Green European family, funded by the European Parliament. The mission of GEF is to contribute to the development of a European public sphere and to foster greater involvement by citizens in European politics, ultimately forging a stronger, more participative democracy. We aim to bridge the gap between activism at the national level and the decisions that are being made at the European level. We act as a platform to discuss Europe’s shared challenges and to stimulate discussions on European policies and politics. By bringing diverse actors together, from European to national foundations, activists, academics and NGOs, we strive to build together a more sustainable, social and democratic European Union. Rooted in political ecology, we develop projects that formulate actions and policies towards sustainability and social justice. We communicate this vision to a wider public by acting as a laboratory for new ideas and a space for exchanging best practices in Europe.

Next in our #SummerReadings series: stories of (in)security🕊️ Geographic-historical contexts, family legacies and individual identity all play a role in how we understand and process our geopolitical landscape. To talk about green visions on #peace and #security means not only interrogating politicians, policy makers and experts, but also facilitating a transnational conversation between ordinary #Europeans. What are their hopes and fears for a more just and #sustainable world? Read their testimonies 👇 https://lnkd.in/dCdMWYZt This project was done in collaboration with Cooperation and Development Network Eastern Europe, Etopia asbl, Cogito, Greek Green Institute and Sustainable Development Forum Green Window.

The summer break is a time to relax - but can everyone really switch off? 📚https://lnkd.in/ePH2pSdC FEPS #SummerReading list begins with "Women CSO leaders for systemic change”! Based on interviews with 150 women civil society organisation (CSO) leaders, this policy study takes stock of the progress over the last decade and identifies remaining barriers and new opportunities for women CSO leaders in achieving systemic change in Europe. These changes are emphasised in the report’s four policy priority areas: 🚺 Radically reimagining power and leadership cultures 👨👧👦 Centering care and shifting societal norms 💰 Addressing structural financial insecurity within the sector ⚖ Investing in #GenderEquality, diversity, and inclusion Authored by Joanna Maycock, Angela Philp, Eloïse Bodin, and Celine Charveriat ✍ Commissioned by: Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS Europe), Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES), Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung European Union, Brussels and Green European Foundation (GEF).

Our series of #SummerReadings kicks off 🌄 First on the list: tackling #MassTourism 🌴 We all enjoy a well-deserved break, but #Traveling comes with environmental and social costs. The transition to a more sustainable form of #Tourism is not a distant utopia. It is feasible – with the involvement of all local stakeholders, with the involvement of politics and economy, with consideration of the needs of people and nature.
