Hej John,

The 6th Congress of the European Green Party is going to start tomorrow
morning! We are already in Copenhagen and very excited to welcome the Green
European family.

While many of you will be here with us, we also want to give everyone who
cannot make it to Denmark the opportunity to join in with the Congress. In
this email we will explain to you, how that works!

See you in Copenhagen or online!

PLENARY: GREENS IN GOVERNMENT

Energy crisis, increasing inflation, climate change, and the war in
Ukraine. Citizens all over Europe feel the consequences of these crises in
their daily lives, especially those already struggling. Greens are taking
on more responsibility in these extremely difficult times. This plenary
will feature several Green ministers from across Europe to showcase that
Greens are taking on important political battles on social and
environmental issues, rule of law, equality, and more, and to highlight how
green majorities can change the daily lives of citizens for the better.

This session is organised by the GREENS/EFA GROUP in the European

the increased cost of living. We're looking forward to this discussion

Co-President of the Greens/EFA Group in the European Parliament, and member
