"European Commission President Von der Leyen’s reference to heatwaves and droughts as the 'summer of truth' must be followed up by an autumn of action. It is not enough to ‘stay the course’ on climate action, the European Union must up its game with ambition and action. The European Commission’s deregulation agenda is weakening the EU’s response to climate breakdown", Ciarán Cuffe, co-chair of the European Green Party, reacted to the State of the European Union (SOTEU) .

MEP Alexandra Geese, Greens/EFA negotiator for the Digital Services Act (DSA), comments:“Social media must become safe by default for young people – because their mental health is at stake. That is why we welcome the Commission’s proposal. The clear condemnation of attention-based recommendation systems, infinite scroll and other addictive mechanisms sets the tone. The EU KIDS Act lays the foundation for better social networks made in Europe. It points the way towards social media that serves people, not billionaires.”

"After four years of hard right-wing policies - with a government majority that depended on the far right for the first time in history - Sweden has voted for change. This is good news for Europe. It's time for a red-green government with ambition to reduce inequalities and take the climate crisis seriously. We also note that the Greens have broken their membership record a few days before the elections, with over 20,000 members. We warmly welcome all new volunteers in the Green movement," said European Green Party Co-Chair Ciarán Cuffe.

On Thursday, 17 September 2026, the European Parliament will hold a debate on toxic substances and “forever chemicals” (PFAS).This debate was called for by the Greens/EFA Group following the pollution scandal that broke in Croatia about illegal dumping of hazardous waste from several EU countries.Whilst the authorities attempted to play down this environmental disaster, Croatia’s anticorruption agency assessed high levels of contamination in soil and groundwater by PFAS around Gospic.The Greens-EFA are asking the Commission and Member States to urgently phase-out PFAS and put the health of our citizens above the vested interests of the chemical industry.

Terry Reintke, President of the Greens/EFA group in the European Parliament, urges for phasing out coal, gas and oil now, to save lives and boost the economy:“We cannot afford the inaction any longer. Skyrocketing temperatures have wiped out the equivalent of entire European cities. The high death numbers represent real people, families, grandparents, elderly neighbours, road workers or roofers. Business as usual leads to deadly heatwaves and economic decline. That is why our Group calls for an Inquiry Committee into the weakening of the Green Deal.“ The costs of inaction will be much higher than acting now. We need to phase out all fossil fuel subsidies and we need an end to our dependency on oil, gas and coal. We urge for a fossil fuel windfall tax to pay people’s energy bills when winter comes. We need better protection for workers and ambitious 2040 targets for renewable energy and energy efficiency.“ Our dependency on oil, gas and coal is costly, it turns homes into heat traps, dries our rivers and stops transports of goods. Dependency on fossil fuels leaves our economic prosperity to the good-will of autocrats, while competitors like China make their profits from selling e-cars.“A renewable Europe is an economic powerhouse, creating jobs and affordable energy. A strong and independent Europe is an attractive partner around the world.”
