Green 10 letter: State of the European Union after Brexit – time for a new direction
Advocacy letter | 27 June 2016
Following the vote of UK citizens to leave the European Union, the group of ten of the leading environmental networks active at European level comment on the need to engage in a new reflection on the future direction of Europe. Now more than ever, it is crucial for the EU to show it is united, not paralysed, and remains willing and able to act for the benefit of its citizens and their natural environment.
The EU remains uniquely placed to lead in tackling the global challenges of climate change, the depletion of natural resources, the collapse of ecosystems and disappearance of wildlife. It is capable of solving an environmental and health crisis by adopting and enforcing ambitious policies that can save and improve the lives of millions, within Europe and beyond.
