Euromemo Group

We are happy to announce you our presentation event of Euromemorandum 2023:

Europe in Polycrisis: Struggles for Survival, Climate and Energy Justice

Date: 23 – 24 March 2023, 06:00 pm – 08:00 pm

Venue: Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung Brussels (Rue Saint-Ghislain 62, 1000 Bruxelles)

The EuroMemorandum is the annual report the EuroMemo Group. It critically analyses recent economic developments in Europe and emphasises the strong need for an alternative economic policy that is based on the principles of democratic participation, social justice and environmental sustainability.

This year’s EuroMemorandum emphasizes that the neoliberal global and European order has entered a polycrisis, understood as multiple shocks feeding each other with growing complexity. Taking its cue from the UNEP Emissions Gap Report that the time for incremental change has passed, and that only a root-and-branch economic transformation can save humanity from disaster, the 2023 EuroMemorandum analyses the polycrisis Europe faces, critiques EU policy, and offers radical policy-alternatives.
