Green Week 2020

2020 will be a landmark year for biodiversity not just in Europe but worldwide. Therefore, it is fitting that nature and biodiversity are also the focus of the EU Green Week 2020 edition – the biggest annual event for stakeholders on the European environment policy calendar.

date:  18/12/2019

Green Week 2020 will take place on 1-5 June 2020 in Brussels. It will offer an opportunity to debate the successes and gaps in EU biodiversity policy, demonstrate the importance of biodiversity for other policy areas, well as explore the future EU biodiversity policy and the possible responses to the environmental crisis we are facing.

Green Week 2020 comes at a crucial moment: while the European Commission will have presented its initial proposal for a new EU Biodiversity Strategy until 2030 in March 2020, the conclusion of negotiations for the post-2020 framework during the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP15 CBD) will be eagerly anticipated and discussed.

Everyone is encouraged to get involved in Green Week, either by contributing to the events that will be organised or by setting up a partner event. More information will be available on the dedicated website: https://www.eugreenweek.eu/. In case of any questions, please write to ENV-GREENWEEK@ec.europa.eu
