    CoFoE – Historic opportunity to ensure the EU fully reflects Europe’s diversity

    The EU is about much more than 27 member states. It is a mosaic of peoples and cultures willing to share the present and construct a common, better future. Europe needs to adapt so that it can properly reflect citizens’ legitimate demands for democratic change within member states.

    Europe – Don’t fall into the (gas) trap!

    Ciarán Cuffe Jutta Paulus Marie Toussaint
    Opinion by Ciarán Cuffe & Jutta Paulus & Marie Toussaint
    European institutions are discussing the future of Europe’s energy. Current rules pre-date the Paris Agreement and the Green Deal, making it impossible to achieve carbon neutrality objectives by 2050. This revision will decide how fossil fuels are financed and consequently, the place given to renewable energy in Europe.
