Hi John!

The Extended Congress in Lyon was the kick off for our election campaign. 1,200 Greens from all over Europe came together, prepared for the 2024 EU election campaign, and created an exceptional energy!

We enter this campaign with a lot of courage. Courage to put people over profit. Courage to confront the climate emergency. Courage to fight the hate of the far-right.

And we need you to be part of it. So here are two options for you to join our campaign today:

Join the Courage Club on WhatsApp. Stay up to date about our campaign and support us by spreading our messages in your network.

Join the Green Team! In the Green Team, you will have the possibility to dive further into meaningful volunteer opportunities and contribute even more to our success in the EU elections. Join and we will send you instructions how you can be part of the campaign!

Congratulations to Terry and Bas

Delegates from all the European Green parties have elected Terry Reintke and Bas Eickhout to be the face and heart of the Green campaign for the EU elections. The elected leading candidates (‘Spitzenkandidaten’) will represent the Greens in the upcoming political debates and campaign events. Learn more about Terry and Bas on our website:

Manifesto and priorities

Green parties from all across Europe endorsed the European Green Party's common manifesto Courage to Change in Lyon. In Courage to Change, we set out our proposals to the millions of people who will vote in the European elections. With 11 priority issues, we explain how the fight against extreme weather events goes hand in hand with the protection of living standards and the creation of green jobs.

New member parties

We are excited to announce that we now have 49 Green member parties across Europe! With the addition of Možemo! from Croatia and Union of Democrats "For Lithuania", we are strengthening Green politics in Europe. Congratulations and welcome to our new members!

Your choice!

You can choose 1 of the 12 priorities for our Green election campaign! Last week, we launched the online vote for the European Citizens’ Choice and let the people decide. In a crowdsourcing campaign, we collected over 5,500 suggestions from all over Europe. You can now choose from the selection of top 10 priorities. What’s your priority: Banning private jets? Taking mental health seriously? Or bringing night trains back on track?

Have you missed any of the keynote speeches or panel discussions? Here are the recordings of our livestreams from Friday and Saturday.

40 years of European Greens: During the Congress, we celebrated the 40^th anniversary of the European Greens. Watch our recap video “40 Years of European Green” here.
