Background
Every year hundreds of organisations decide to join this big festival dedicated to promoting, debating and benefiting from European environmental policies. Partner events are not bound by any format or style – it is up to their organisers to decide what suits their target audience best.
The European Commission’s Directorate-General for Environment welcomes workshops, webinars, public debates, guided walks, awareness-raising events, exhibitions, social club activities as well as other possible set-ups. Partner events can be organised in person, online or as hybrid events with in-person and digital elements. Whatever the format, partner events should be organised, ideally, in an environmentally-friendly and sustainable manner.
EU Green Week partner events are not organised by the European Commission. Any views expressed by the organisers, speakers or participants in those events are their own and should not be regarded as official views of the European Commission.
If you are organising one or several event(s) that can engage citizens in circular economy aspects and help foster a lively public conversation, please consult our guidelines and start preparing your event.

General information
Taking part in EU Green Week is an excellent way to show how civil society and other stakeholders are playing an active role in Europe's transition to a greener future. Partner event organisers can also benefit from enhanced visibility through exposure on the European Commission’s social media channels, using a tailor-made EU Green Week 2025 digital toolkit and other incentives.
It is important to remember that the European Commission maintains rigorous standards on greenwashing. Any event that is deemed to promote greenwashing will not be approved for partnership and promotion. The same applies to any events that give misleading information or a false impression of the extent to which products or services are environmentally sound. Moreover, partner events must not serve as a platform for commercial, profit-oriented, religious or political purposes.
