Making the European Green Deal Strong and Real: Harnessing the Power of community-led Initiatives and Local Governments

A follow-up to the Beyond Growth Conference (European Parliament, Brussels, May 2023) from a grassroots and local government perspective. This hybrid event happened on Tuesday 7 November 2023 (online & at the EESC in Brussels, Belgium).

The event is ECOLISE's main policy event, co-organised by ICLEI, Local Governments for Sustainability, and the European Economic Social Committee (EESC). ECOLISE launched its "Time for Collective Action" Manifesto, an outcome of the 10 theses policy campaign with over 500 participants present at the event.

Local levels and citizens - especially marginalised people in the global south - are most impacted by the planetary crisis. This is the case also in Europe: local governments and citizens are the ones that will need to change most to answer the planetary crisis, but also to live with the impacts that cannot be undone. At the same time, European local governments and community-led initiatives have a huge - largely untapped - potential for impact through radically changed lifestyles and collective sustainability action.
