In a bold shift away from the prevalent culture of quick fixes and partial remedies, a group of prominent academics and policy experts in the field of system change from across Europe will issue, on Thursday 9 May (Europe Day), an open letter to the European Union to adopt a new Sustainability and Wellbeing Pact.
An initiative of the European Environmental Bureau (EEB), the letter, which has 212 signatories, focuses on three main areas of systemic change:
The EEB is Europe’s largest network of environmental organisations, with around 150 members in over 30 countries.
The open letter is available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Dutch, Croatian, Finnish, Slovenian and Estonian.
The letter will officially be launched on Europe Day (Thursday 9 May 2019). If your publication would like to publish the letter (on or after Europe Day), the EEB can send you an advance copy under embargo.
If you are interested in producing a news report or feature about the issues raised in the letter, the EEB is happy to help with your questions and interview requests.
