Key facts about the Green Deal and Green Agenda
The role of EU institutions in the green transition
Collaboration between environmental and non-environmental CSOs
The importance of bringing the EU Parliament into advocacy efforts
Connecting EU and local governments for faster impact
How youth CSOs can get involved in environmental protection
The power of media in advocating for change
What citizen sciences are and how the European Commission defines them
Funding opportunities for non-environmental CSOs in the environmental sector
