Join the European Forum 2020

NEWS 路 路

The forum is a space for left, green and progressive voices to discuss alternative solutions to the crises facing Europe.

Together, we will oppose the same old remedies of cuts, austerity and war. The people of Europe can not pay for another crisis! By coming together, sharing our struggles and building new alliances we can change Europe鈥檚 direction towards a fairer, greener economy and more equitable and more just society.

As part of this year’s European Forum, we’re organising three seminars on some of the biggest topics of debate in the EU: migration, climate change, and recovery from the pandemic.
Join activists, elected representatives, trade unionists, and experts in the discussion on our alternatives and debate on what the Left’s response should be.

The latest IPCC Special Report (October 2018) is our last alarm bell for stopping mass human and environmental destruction caused by human-induced climate change. Rapid and ambitious action is needed to ensure that the transition is fair and leaves no one behind. Climate action is not a stand-alone struggle; it includes struggles for decent jobs, high living standards, and gender and racial equality. The COVID-19 pandemic has made clear that the resilience of our societies to any kind of crisis goes hand in hand with social and environmental justice at the European and international level. There is a need to reclaim the narrative of a just and sustainable COVID-19 recovery and ensure that public climate finance serves public interests, and isn’t used to privatise essential services or impact public finance investments in developing countries. Thus, the compensation of the climate debt we have built up will ensure that the most vulnerable countries are sufficiently resourced to adapt to global warming and rising sea levels.

Moderator: Petros Kokkalis, MEP GUE/NGL
