Civil Society Europe, along with a large group of civil society organisations, present our ‘Civil Society State of the Union 2025’ report. This document is both a response and a proposal – it aims to present the EU’s current state and propose solutions for positive change.

We hope this document provides a sound basis as we work towards a democratic, socially, and environmentally just EU.

The Civil Society State of the Union report (CS SOTEU 2023) comprises our vision and key recommendations as civil society for a more democratic and socially and environmentally just European Union.

Addressed to EU institutions and EU Member States, has been produced by CSE’s Working Group on the CS SOTEU, a WG that is following up on the Conference on the Future of Europe (CoFoE) and supporting civil society and citizens’ participation in EU democracy.
