Mission & Goals
The Green 10 is an informal NGO coalition and comprises ten of the largest European environmental organisations/networks. It coordinates joint responses and recommendations among the NGOs and to external stakeholders. We work with the EU law-making institutions - the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers - to ensure that the environment is placed at the heart of policy making. This includes working with our member organisations in the Member States to facilitate their input into the EU decision-making process. While campaigning at EU level, Green 10 NGOs: - encourage the full implementation of EU environmental laws and policies in the Member States; - advocate for new environmental proposals, as appropriate; - work with the EU institutions to ensure that policies under consideration are as environmentally effective as possible; - promote EU environmental leadership in the global political arena.
EU Legislative Interests
While campaigning at EU level, Green 10 NGOs: - encourage the full implementation of EU environmental laws and policies in the Member States; - advocate for new environmental proposals, as appropriate; - work with the EU institutions to ensure that policies under consideration are as environmentally effective as possible; - promote EU environmental leadership in the global political arena.
Communication Activities
In terms of raising public awareness, Green 10 NGOs: - inform their members, and the wider public, of environmental developments at EU level, and encourage them to make their voices heard; - give a voice to thousands of locally-based associations, which would otherwise have no access to EU decision-makers; - contribute to the strengthening of civil society across Europe, through training in advocacy skills, policy analysis and the EU decision-making process.
