34th European Green Party Council

The Council has brought together our Green family - this time online - to
decide on a joint political trajectory for the next period ahead!

Resolutions put into writing our common positions and are voted on at the
Council. At the 34th Council, we adopted 12 resolutions, on topics at the
forefront of the Green agenda at this time such as dismantling fortress
Europe, solidarity for Lebanon, strengthening resilience in municipalities,
and much more! We also announced our new campaigns.

2022 will be an important year for the European Green movement, with many
key elections and other political milestones. We are pleased to announce
the location of the 35th European Green Party Council on 3 to 5 June: Riga,
Latvia [7]!

We look forward to meeting with you all again next year!
