Environmental Protection: An Important Contemporary Challenge (Case of the European Parliament)

Abstract

difficulties and anticipated threats – has become a major challenge for both individual states and the international community due to its fundamentally universal nature. The need for collective responsibility and the involvement of every country has become evident, making the study of this issue particularly relevant.
Because of its broad societal importance, the topic has a general public character: the realities we face and the challenges ahead can only be addressed through unified, global cooperation. The widespread appeal of shared environmental ideals is confirmed by
the activities of the European Greens, who have established themselves as a significant force in contemporary European politics.
The aim of the paper is to study the challenges surrounding environmental issues, and to analyse the main activities and objectives of the Greens/EFA (European Free Alliance) parliamentary group in the European Parliament, based on existing official documents and secondary sources.
The hypothesis of the work is formulated as follows: the environmental concerns of the European Greens and their corresponding actions remain highly relevant for civil society, especially in light of the current reality (political processes in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip, migration pressures, difficulties caused by the war, etc.), which has led to the activation of security and social issues.
This topic also has important practical implications, as many researchers emphasize the need to strengthen environmental protection internationally and frequently criticize the insufficient attention given to environmental issues on political agendas.
The work is presented with a qualitative analysis of primary and secondary sources.
