Environmentalists for Europe

On 3rd February, 2016, a new group, Environmentalists for Europe (E4E), was launched at a meeting in the House of Lords supported by the European Movement.

In the run-up to the EU referendum, E4E aims to work with a broad spectrum of organisations and individuals, in the hope and expectation that the importance of the UK’s contribution to European environmental policy, as well as the contribution EU environmental policy has made to the achievement of the UK’s national goals and objectives, will be fully recognised.
