In a time of fragmentation and mistrust, the report outlines a roadmap to strengthen democratic resilience, advance sustainable prosperity, and deepen interregional partnerships.

👉 Only through structured cooperation and renewed trust can democracies meet 21stcentury challenges

Developed by @clubdemadrid.bsky.social & @atlanticcouncil.bsky.social, with support from Spain’s State Secretariat for the EU, it turns political dialogue into concrete proposals.

The session underscored the urgency of:
✔ Strengthening democratic institutions
✔ Gender-responsive protection mechanisms
✔ Cooperation through Escazú & Aarhus frameworks
Protecting defenders means protecting our planet — and our democracies.

👉 “We need to work to defend environmental human rights defenders — we need to defend democracies.”

👉 “The role of the government is clear — it must ensure public policies and legal frameworks that guarantee the safety of those who defend the environment.”
