General

GLOBE EuropeGlobal Legislators Organisation for a Balanced Environment - Europe

GLOBE Europe is a network of 830 Parliamentarians (Members, MPs) from the European Union member states and from Norway, Iceland, Turkey, Republic of Macedonia, Moldovia and Croatia who work together across party- and country lines to enhance sustainable development and support the protection of environment and biodiversity. Besides the Members GLOBE Europe has 250 Contacts in environmental NGOs, ministries, industry, business and scientific institutions.

GLOBE Europe started as an offshoot of GLOBE EU, a network of members of the European Parliament (MEPs) in 1994. Currently, GLOBE Europe is an organisation in its own right which supports its Members and Contacts in their participation in the European decision making process regarding the environment, biodiversity and sustainable development.

Activities

First GLOBE Europe provides up to date information on relevant European decision-making. In a weekly newsletter we summarise the developments in the European Parliament, the European Commission and the Council of the European Union that affect the environment, biodiversity and sustainable development. We will also inform our member of any relevant actions of NGOs.

Second GLOBE Europe provides a platform for discussion between Members and Contacts among each other and between Members and Contacts and the European Parliament. National parliamentarians can thus use GLOBE Europe to get into contact with other National parliamentarians and MEPs. To facilitate these contacts GLOBE Europe will periodically organise conferences and provide a forum on the Internet. GLOBE Europe also carries out projects within the framework of European and national subsidy programs in co-operation with its Contacts and Members.

Secretariat

The activities are carried out by GLOBE’s secretariat in Brussels. The Secretariat functions as the binding, operational and co-ordinating body of the network. Doeke Eisma is Executive Director of GLOBE Europe. Through its activities GLOBE enables its members to work on environmental legislation in their countries more effectively. They will be better prepared for the debates in their parliaments, they will be better informed and therefore more able to push for better environmental legislation and to ensure good implementation.
