Join us, with discussants Thomas Gelin from Greenpeace and Ned Molloy from Global Strategic Communications Council (GSCC), for our first network-wide policy discussion to discuss the REPowerEU policy – the EU’s energy policy response to the Ukraine-Russia war.
We will debate over whether, and how, to react to the policy and the war as a grassroots based network and discuss connected issues such as flight reduction, agro-fuels avoidance, energy sources, framing all sources of fossil fuels – not just Russian ones – as problematic.
