The European Environmental Bureau (EEB) is Europe’s largest network of environmental citizens’ organisations, bringing together over 190 member organisations in 41 countries.
Through agenda‑setting, monitoring and advising, EEB works to influence how the EU addresses Europe’s most pressing environmental challenges. These include climate change, biodiversity loss, circular economy, and air, water, soil and chemical pollution, as well as cross‑cutting areas such as industry, energy, agriculture, product design and waste prevention. EEB also engages in broader issues including sustainable development, good governance, participatory democracy and the rule of law in Europe and beyond.
“As Europe’s largest network of environmental organisations, we see the Fairtrans approach – linking cutting‑edge research with concrete policy development for fair climate transformations – as highly valuable. By joining the network, we gain access to important research while contributing to the co‑production of knowledge. We look forward to collaborating within the programme and advancing a climate transition grounded in democracy and social justice,” says Patrizia Heidegger, Deputy Secretary General of the EEB.
“EEB’s extensive network of environmental organisations across Europe is highly relevant as we enter phase two, where Fairtrans will expand its academic and co‑creation scope to the EU level. We warmly welcome EEB into the Fairtrans network and look forward to working together to accelerate a just and ambitious European climate transition,” says Stephan Barthel, Programme Director of Fairtrans.
