The European Environmental Bureau (EEB) is a federation of over 140 environmental citizens’ organisations based in all 27 European Union (EU) Member States, potential Member States and a few neighbouring countries. These organisations range from local and national, to European and international. EEB’s aim is to protect and improve Europe’s environment and to enable Europe’s citizens to play a part in achieving that goal. A key element of this process is promoting the EU’s ‘Green Leadership’.
