Progressive Society

Fighting for a truly Progressive European Society, with equitable and sustainable wellbeing for all at its core, will be a major goal in this respect.

"I feel that across member states, there is still a perception that sustainable development is an elitist agenda - but actually, it's the opposite." - @CillianLohan from @EU_EESC at the launch of the #SDGEuropeReport by @IEEP_eu and @UNSDSN ➡️ https://t.co/NEizOeWM7g #SDGs

[Progressive Society @ProgressSoc]

#SDGEuropeReport measures the distance to targets, showing how far each #EU country is from achieving SDGs. Accurate data collection through composite indicators, measuring dynamically the distance are key for designing a monitoring policy that urgently needs to be implemented.

[Progressive Society @ProgressSoc]

No #EU country is on track to reach #UNSDGS by 2030, @sdgreport presentation started now with @IEEP_eu & @UNSDSN.
We need strategic approach to tackle #climate & #biodiversity crisis, #inequalities and international spill-over effects.

[IEEP - Institute for European Environmental Policy @IEEP_eu]

The EU and its member states face the greatest challenges on SDG goals related to:

🌍 climate
🐾 biodiversity
🔄 circular economy
🌾 sustainable food and agriculture

👏Way to go! Many thanks to the Spanish government of @sanchezcastejon for offering to host the #COP25 in Madrid next month. #ClimateAction cannot wait!

We very much look forward to it. 🌎

When we speak about #SustainableDevelopment, we need also to think about sustainability for everyone.

Sustainable development must mean to have the courage at European level to transform but also to not leave anyone behind.

εξωστρέφεια  και ελκυστικότητα του τόπου.
Η κατά τόπους βιώσιμη ανάπτυξη θα οδηγήσει στην επέκταση της σε όλη την Ευρώπη."

“Today politicians face short political terms and long term #GlobalGoals. But change is coming.

I want to tell to fellow MEPs and to the Council: your short political term will now depend on your long term commitment to fight the climate crisis.”

.@hoppe_michael4 "During the elections, we succeeded to engage actively with EU citizens, sharing our messages & proposals. We will now make sure that these proposals are implemented."

@EPSocialAffairs @EP_Economics @nicolasschmit2 @a_jongerius @jonasfernandez #EPHearings2019 | Very pleased that @nicolasschmit2 supports the integration of #SDGs in the European semester.

This is a priority if we really want to build a sustainable Europe that leaves no places and no people behind!

Our member from London @SanchiaAlasia demonstrates how to make energy policy sustainable:

"In @lbbdcouncil we established @BeamEnergyUK to provide affordable energy from renewable sources to local residents."

This is to #Act4SDGs at local level! #ProgressiveLocalStories

[Progressive Society @ProgressSoc]

.@louka_katseli We need to support an EMU Agenda for sustainable well-being. A change in the governance process of the European Semester has to be in the right direction, the one that leaves no one behind. #EESCplenary #SustainableEqualityReport

@louka_katseli presenting the #SustainableEqualityReport in #EESCplenary' s debate on European Semester. "We need to implement the #2030Strategy into EU policies. Another Europe is necessary, another Europe is feasible."

[Udo Bullmann 🇪🇺 @UdoBullmann]

In Europe, we @TheProgressives are working for a new, better society as well. We have 110 concrete proposals which we will pursue during the next 5 years.

This is a radically different approach to European governance built on #SustainableDevelopment and #SocialJustice.

[Udo Bullmann 🇪🇺 @UdoBullmann]

28 million children in Europe suffer from the lack of income and basic services.
This has to end! We fight for a European Child Guarantee that provides nutrition, housing, education and healthcare for every child.

[Udo Bullmann 🇪🇺 @UdoBullmann]

The economy has to work for the people, not exploit them and our planet!

We want good jobs and good pay for all. Our aim is to make poverty reduction goals binding.
We want minimum wages in all member states of about 60% of the average income.

[Udo Bullmann 🇪🇺 @UdoBullmann]

Our societies are changing - that means our policies have to change as well. We have to build a social-ecological welfare state through participatory processes. We want to ensure that just transition strategies are actively supported by the EU budget.

[Progressive Society @ProgressSoc]

In the last months, we travelled a lot in Europe. Talking to people - whether in London or Athens, Lisbon, Ljubljana or Helsinki - shows us: Europe is strong and diverse but still has to become much more social and climate-friendly. This is what we fight for. @TheProgressives
