Green groups and their role in the parliaments green agenda
June 2022
Once considered radical outsiders, the Greens are nowadays claiming an increasingly important role in mainstream politics, particularly in Europe.
Coupled with the urgency of climate change and the loss of support for traditional viewpoints, the Greens worldwide
have moved from single-issue environmental groups to inclusive political groups capable of developing and monitoring policies for key state institutions.
More and more Europeans are entrusting their votes to Green political parties. Growing public awareness of environmental issues was a key factor in the Greens’ success in the recent European elections, such as in Germany and Belgium.
Thus, more and more people are supporting green policies, but who are the Greens, and what do they represent
in today’s politics? This Policy Brief aims to explain what the purpose of these green groups is and their role in the parliament's green agenda.
