The European Journal: 2021
 

The Conservative Environment Network collaborated with New Direction to produce 2021's The European Journal. This opinion journal gathers the thoughts of world-renowned experts on the crucial issues facing Europe today, exploring Conservative andwers to some of the greatest challenges.

​

With the UK hosting COP26 and the G7, and the CBD biodiversity summit taking place in China, 2021 is a major year for the environment. As policy makers worldwide focus on “Building Back Better” after Covid-19, it is crucial that conservatives contribute to this debate and help shape the nature of the recovery.
