Serbia

Solidarity with protesters in Serbia

The European Greens stand with Serbian citizens opposing Rio Tinto's lithium mining project in the Jadar Valley. Though the project was halted in 2022 after widespread protests, it was reintroduced by President Vučić without adequate public consultation. The Greens urge the EU to enforce strong environmental and social standards, requiring companies to address their impacts on communities and nature. They also call for the EU to support sustainable resource practices and condemn any intimidation of activists opposing the project. Watch our video.

Extreme weather events

A race against time

The climate crisis is not waiting: Europe has recently been hit by deadly floods and wildfires, and extreme rainfalls in Morocco caused floods in the Sahara Desert. These extreme weather events highlight the urgent need for climate action to protect communities from extreme weather. We are calling for the rapid implementation of the Green Deal and the Nature Restoration Law to shield people and ecosystems from escalating climate threats. European Green co-chairs Thomas Waitz and Mélanie Vogel stress that climate breakdown is already affecting millions and warn that immediate action is essential. Read more.
