EVU puts vegetarian issues on the
European political agenda
The 2024 European elections are crucial for reaching the 2030 goals of the European Green Deal and UN Sustainable Development Goals. The aim of this manifesto is to address newly elected officials who will take office in the upcoming 2024 term. Current EU efforts are inadequate, endangering climate and biodiversity SDGs. Elected officials must lead and act ambitiously for a sustainable future in all EU states. Read, download and share the manifesto here.

EVU works toward greater recognition of vegetarian issues in policy decisions. We support and represent our members on the European level.
