Welcome to the European Environmental Bureau

we strive for

an eu-led greening of the economy

The EEB is the environmental voice of European citizens. We stand for environmental justice, sustainable development and participatory democracy. Our goal is a healthy environment and rich biodiversity for all of Europe.
we strive for

sustainable development

Responsible societies respect the carrying capacity of the planet. Effective policies and sustainable development must have priority over short-term objectives which serve only the current generation or certain sections of society.
we strive for

envIronmental justice

Polluters should pay for the damage they cause. Establishing liability for environmental crimes will lead to higher economic efficiency and raise the status of the environment in the eyes of Europe's business and citizens.
we strive for

empowerment of europe's citizens

Citizens have a major role to play in promoting environmental policies and behaviour. Public participation in environmental issues will influence public authorities, business and consumers. The EEB strives to establish environmental democracy.
