Die Grünen/EFA are a political group in the European Parliament that has been an active driving force in European politics since 1984. Here is an overview of their mission, values, and sustainability goals:
Die Grünen/EFA stand for a society in which every person has the right to openly express their opinion and lead a dignified, fulfilling life, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, age, race, or religion. They fight for a true democracy in which the public and the media can hold those in power accountable. Their vision includes a fair and just society where the economy serves people and not the other way around[2][3][4].
The group consists of 53 members (27 women and 26 men) from 17 countries and three regions, making it the fourth largest group in the European Parliament. It is the only group with a gender-balanced co-chairmanship. The members include representatives from green movements, the Pirates, independents, and parties that represent stateless nations and disadvantaged minorities[1][2].
Die Grünen/EFA are actively committed to environmental protection, climate action, and social justice. Their four pillars are:
Die Grünen/EFA place great importance on transparency and accountability. They have introduced various tools to ensure the transparency of their activities and the use of public funds and advocate for equal access of stakeholders to the decision-making process[3].
The group has a strong appeal to progressive forces from across Europe and is a driving force for transparent reforms in Parliament. They work to change the political mainstream and reverse trends that mobilize many people in society[1][3][4].
Die Grünen/EFA are thus a central political force advocating for a sustainable, just, and democratic society in Europe and worldwide.
