The Heinrich Böll Foundation is part of the Green political movement that has developed worldwide as a response to the traditional politics of socialism, liberalism, and conservatism. Our main tenets are ecology and sustainability, democracy and human rights, self-determination and justice. We Are a Green Think Tank and an International Policy Network.

The Green European Foundation is a political foundations on European level, and is funded on an annual basis by the European Parliament. Whilst being affiliated to the European Green Party, the foundation remains an independent and distinct organisation with its own priorities. The European Union itself, doubtlessly at a time of crisis of confidence, has been searching for new ways to reach out to its citizens. As political foundations on a national level have proven highly successful in engaging citizens in a political dialogue, their European level counterparts could provide the equivalent space for debate on a transnational level.
