The European Committee of the Regions (CoR) is a political assembly, which allows the views of regional and local authorities to be heard when European Union policies are being devised and legislation drafted. It is an advisory body that was created in 1994 after the entry into force of the Maastricht Treaty. Its consultative role allows its 329 members and alternates, and through them the regional and local authorities they represent, to take part in the EU decision-making process.
The Greens in the CoR works for a socially, ecologically and economically sustainable future. We work for a clean environment and act against climate change through ambitious adherence to climate goals and an effective Green Deal. We promote democratic values, participation, transparency and European Integration. We think globally and act locally to make a fair Green change.
The Greens in the CoR was established in 2020, as twenty enthusiastic members from Green parties and beyond came together.
