@Manolis_Chr "These European elections showed us that if we engage with our citizens, have a clear vision and work together, we can achieve the changes that EU needs" @YESocialists #YESLeadersMeeting #FutureOfEurope #pasok @PES_PSE @kinimallagis @aliciahoms

"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 ➡️ sdgindex.org/eu #SDGs

#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.

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.

👏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. 🌎 @IratxeGarper @Miriamdalli

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. —@elenapiastra #ProgressiveLocalStories #EURegionsWeek

"Διακρατικά έργα συνέβαλαν στην εξωστρέφεια  και ελκυστικότητα του τόπου. Η κατά τόπους βιώσιμη ανάπτυξη θα οδηγήσει στην επέκταση της σε όλη την Ευρώπη." — Μαρία Κακαλή, Δήμαρχος του Αη Στράτη μοιράζεται #ProgressiveLocalStories στην #EURegionsWeek 👏 #SDGs

“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.” Klara Dobrev #EURegionsWeek

.@TheProgressives join @PES_PSE training academy with young socialists from all over EU. .@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 appeal ➝pes.cor.europa.eu/no-places-and-…

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

.@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."

👋 Say hi to the new S&D Group! 🔢153 members 🇪🇺26 countries represented 🙋🏽‍♀️42% women 🆕78 new MEPs One mission: To deliver a more socially just and sustainable Europe. Let's go! ✊

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
