Description

What are the implications and imapcts of Brexit for the green transformation of Europe? Are there progressive political potentials in the wake of the referendum decision in the UK last June and the on-going political turmoil it has created? How should greens and other progressives understand the rise of populism across Europe? And what are the likely impacts of Brexit for the island of Ireland?
