What happens when people use democracy to protect their environment? For more than a decade, activists in Ecuador fought to give citizens a say over oil extraction in Yasuní. In 2023, Ecuadorians voted to keep the oil underground. #YasuniReferendum #DemocracyInAction

POV: You came to Bulgaria for Democracy Camp and left with a whole new perspective. 🇧🇬 From challenging ideas and shared perspectives to late-night laughs, new friendships, and moments we’ll talk about for years, Democracy Camp was more than an event. It was an experience. 💬

Climate laws matter — but so does implementation. 🌱 In Chile, Acción Climática helps citizens track climate commitments, spot implementation gaps, and hold decision-makers accountable. Because access to information enables meaningful participation. 🗣️

Democracy is part of everyday life. 🌱 This summer, we saw it at festivals too. At Herzberg Festival, more than 100 people stopped to listen, ask questions and explore stories of climate activists.

What does it really mean to be a democracy activist? 🌍✊🏾 It’s more than protests, placards and speaking out. It’s the conversations that challenge the way we think. It’s creating spaces for people to be heard. 🎥 Watch the People. Power. Planet. documentary #PeoplePowerPlanet

🇪🇺 Democracy was on the agenda at #SOTEU2026 — but were citizens? The diagnosis was strong: foreign interference, disinformation and threats to democracy. But where was the concrete action on citizen participation and giving Europeans a greater say between elections?
