Season's greetings!

We hope that you and your loved ones are keeping warm and safe during the
holidays.

To close the year, we're reflecting on our journey as Greens in 2021, and
our successes along the way that made this trying year worthwhile.

European countries are working together to tackle the pandemic and climate
crisis, through initiatives like the Next Generation EU programme, the
European Climate Law, and the Fit-for-55 package.

And Green leaders in Europe are continuing to push for a more just and
sustainable Europe at the local and regional level, in new coalition
governments in Germany and Budapest, and in the parliament.

You can now read more about our electoral successes, political wins, and
new exciting projects connecting with the Green family through our podcasts
and film screenings. Finally, we would also like to invite you to the New
Year's reception, which will happen on 01 February 2022.

Now, the team is slowing down its activities and to recharge during the
holiday season and make 2022 an even brighter year for the European Greens.
We wish you a very happy New Year!

Green successes in 2021

In 2021, the Green Wave has continued to translate into an enlarged voter
base and successful elections across Europe. We are now in government in 8
countries in Europe! And the biggest economy in the EU, Germany, now has
Greens in government.

Adopted resolutions in 2021

In 2021, we passed a total of 23 resolutions on crucial issues such as fair
distribution of COVID vaccines, a four-day work week, biometric mass
surveillance, global climate action, and energy poverty at our Councils.

At the 33rd Council on 25-29 May, we adopted 11 resolutions and featured
Annalena Baerbock and Petra de Sutter.

In 2021, we launched two amazing projects: the Green Talking Heads Podcast
and the Green Screen - films and debates to inspire a better future!

We also launched the Local Councillors Network, which now has many Local
Councillors from all over Europe active on the platform. Green politicians
have also worked on ensuring a Green Recovery.

We have continued to host events gathering the Green family together for
our statutory Councils, Party Leader Meetings, and Committee Meetings, as
well as improved our ability to engage with a wider audience through hybrid

We were very proud of the success of the European Ideas Lab in Milan and
online, and the Green Hub at COP26 in Glasgow and online, which helped to
move the needle on Green issues ahead of the climate summit!

Outlook for 2022

2022 will be a crucial year for politics. Several important elections are
coming up, such as that of France next April.

We are also working hard to get our Green family together and continue to
push for our Green values through our campaigns, projects, and events. In
April, we welcome you to the very first 'Resilient Municipalities and
Regions' conference by the Local Councillors Network in Valencia! Then, in
June, we will hold the 35th European Green Party Council in Latvia. We are
also planning to unveil a new trans-inclusive feminist campaign. More to

Behind every green success stand thousands of people with a vision. Among
them are our incredible donors: citizens who believe in the Green mission
we are working towards every single day.

Join the growing movement of Green supporters and help us fight climate
crisis, demand social justice, and make sure no person is left behind. The
year 2022 is all about action, and it's up to us to make the change!
