Vision
The Green Zone Foundation supports activities in line with the ideology and programme of the Greens (political parties and NGOs). The main lines of this programme are the same in Poland, the European Union and all over the world – above all, sustainable economic, social and ecological development, social justice and equal opportunities, the development of civil society and participatory democracy, combating all discrimination, freedom of opinion, separation of state and church, freedom of speech and free circulation of information, development of the knowledge society, responsible management, corporate social responsibility, green economy, green tax reform. The Foundation’s activities seek to respond to the greatest challenges of our time: the climate catastrophe, the dramatic loss of biodiversity, the depletion of non-renewable resources, massive environmental pollution and rapidly growing great inequalities, seeking new future-oriented political, social and economic solutions. In Europe, our Foundation cooperates with the Green European Foundation and the European Green Party. In Poland, we collaborate with numerous NGOs and the Green Party (e.g. by organising Green Summer Universities, holding debates, conferences, workshops, exhibitions and other events to promote green thought and agenda), as well as supporting the magazine Zielone Wiadomości.
