AM-47-1 to R1: Freedom to Live Better: Building a Green and Social Europe

As European Greens, we are calling for a Green and Social Europe to:

• Lead climate action that goes beyond the watered down version of the commissions 90% goal and ensures with 90-95% net emissions reduction by 2040 and
  climate neutrality bybefore 2050

• Build a fully circular economy: the clean tech revolution can re-
  industrialize Europe, create well-paying jobs, and drive innovation

• Ensure clean air, food, and water free from toxic pollutants

• Guarantee access to quality public goods: from renewable energy to
  affordable and sustainable housing

• Guarantee decent employment, fair wages and workers’ rights and make the
  ultra-rich, multinationals and polluters pay their fair share

• Invest in resilience to protect people, nature, and infrastructure from
  extreme weather

We are calling for a democratic Europe that:

• Upholds the protection from online hate, disinformation and manipulation
  that civil society fought for by enforcing European law

• Invests in education, free and independent media, and European digital
  infrastructure

• Stands in solidarity with protest movements and NGOs and protects civic
  space and the right to freedom of speech, assembly and expression

• Offer accession countries a future as they stand up against
  authoritarianism

We are calling for a global Europe that:

• Stands for peace and justice in the Middle East and recognises the state
  of Palestine to secure a two-state solution guaranteeing the rights and
  security of both peoples

• Accounts for war crimes and the genocide against the Palestinian people

• Continues to stand in solidarity with Ukraine against Russia’s illegal war
  of aggression

• Supports Ukraine’s struggle as a defence of freedom, peace and European
  security and its future in the EU

• Deepens security and resilience cooperation on capabilities, synergies and
  enhanced crisis preparedness, grounded in a human security approach

• Defends a migration policy based on fundamental rights and solidarity so
  European countries remain havens for those fleeing war and persecution

• Promotes multilateralism, green industry, fair transition and
  environmental stewardship, particularly in Africa, Asia and Latin America,
  while preventing exploitation and resource plundering

We are ready to create this momentum. This is the Free Green Europe we are
fighting for.
