Manifesto for a Green, Just and Democratic European Economic Economy
The European Youth Forum, with more than 270 academics, think tanks, and civil society organisations from all EU 27 Member States, have published the Manifesto for a Green, Just, and Democratic European Economy, calling for fundamental reform of the EU’s Economic Governance Framework.
The signatories to the manifesto are calling for a deep reform of the EU’s fiscal rules to reorient it towards achieving social, intergenerational, and gender justice as well as protecting the climate and the environment.
