The Green 10

Putting environmental protection at the heart of EU policy
What do we do?
We push the institutions of the European Union – the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers – to put environmental protection at the heart of EU policy. We work with our member groups all over Europe, and make sure their voices are heard in Brussels. Combined, our European networks have over 20 million supporters.

Letter to the European Commission: Ensuring that the long-term EU budget and EU ‘recovery fund’ are consistent with the European Green Deal
On 23 April 2020, the European Council has mandated the European Commission to make a proposal for an EU recovery fund. This is a major opportunity for the Commission to propose both more solidarity at EU level and consistency with the European Green Deal.
TIME TO INVEST IN A HEALTHY FUTURE – TIME FOR A GREEN RECOVERY
We call upon EU and national leaders to tackle the unprecedented crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic with unity, courage and innovation.

CEE Bankwatch Network
CEE Bankwatch Network is a coalition of 16 environmental groups from central and eastern Europe monitoring public finance institutions that are responsible for hundreds of billions of investments across the globe. Together with local communities and other NGOs we work to expose the influence of these institutions and provide a counterbalance to their unchecked power.
BirdLife Europe and Central Asia
BirdLife Europe and Central Asia is a partnership of 48 national conservation organisations and a leader in bird conservation. Our unique local to global approach enables us to deliver high impact and long term conservation for the benefit of nature and people. BirdLife Europe and Central Asia is one of the six regional secretariats that compose BirdLife International.
How are we funded?
Membership contributions are an important part of the finances of Green 10 organisations.
Some member organisations of the Green 10 receive funding on a case-by-case basis for specific projects from governments and foundations and most receive core funding from the European Commission. Some organisations also receive specific donations from industry. Greenpeace neither requests nor accepts financial support from governments, the EU or industry.
All Green 10 organisations are externally audited every year. Details with names of funding organisations and financial information can be found in the annual reports of each Green 10 organisation and in the EU transparency register.
