In the run up to the May 2019 European Parliamentary elections, we would like political leaders and advisers to experience and be aware of the impact their political choices have on Europe and the world. We want to illustrate how, in various policy domains, it is important to look at the bigger picture, with a long-term perspective. We strongly believe this would be in everybody’s interests.
We call on all political leaders and advisers to put Sustainable Development front and center of the next EU political priorities. This would allow the elected Commission and Parliament representatives to tackle environmental, social, economic and governance challenges together, for the wellbeing of our people within the limits of our planet.
