This event aims to highlight effective strategies and frameworks for supporting environmental defenders across the EU. By examining current challenges alongside examples of good practice, we will identify how existing rights, obligations, and mechanisms can be more robustly implemented and upheld to ensure those who protect our planet can do so safely and effectively and which support structures are still needed.

Together with the BE LIFE project partners and the Greens/EFA, we will explore how Europe can strengthen protections for environmental defenders and develop actionable recommendations to turn commitments into concrete support.
