This edition of our conference aims to gather organisational leaders from varying European parties and think tanks, to share and learn from each other on how to evolve and make our work, organisations, and our engagement more sustainable and fit for the societal challenges of the 21st century. The climate crisis will not go away, and we as liberal political organisations who champion environmentally friendly political solutions have a duty to practice what we preach. This will strengthen our credibility in arguably the most important policy area in our times. More broadly, it is also crucial that we further develop how our organisations create sustainable engagement from our supporters.
