Across Europe, the demand for a green transition that is inclusive, just and has the backing of the people is increasingly urgent. Communities, authorities, civil society and SSH (Social Sciences and Humanities) researchers are innovating every day, yet too often work in isolation. Building shared understanding is key to linking technological and policy opportunities with fairness concerns, while responding to mounting pressure to act.
Shared Green Societies is a new European forum designed to bridge this gap—connecting evidence, practice, and policy, and bringing together those leading on the ground with those shaping ideas and strategies.
The Forum will launch in Brussels on 28 January 2026.
The launch event will bring together civil society, researchers, local and regional actors and policymakers from across Europe to co-create the forum’s next steps. The forum will provide support for community-led initiatives and help secure a green transition that is fair, inclusive and firmly supported by citizens.
