Applications are now open for the World Forum for Democracy 2020 that will take place in Strasbourg on 16-18 November. The World Forum for Democracy is a platform for global dialogue and democratic participation which brings new ideas into the work of the Council of Europe and promotes its principles across the world.

This year’s forum will be dedicated to environmental challenges and democracy. The 2020 Forum participants – politicians, public and private officials, international organisations, academics and civil society – will debate the issues and generate new ideas for tackling the environmental crisis we face today. The ambition of the Forum, held under the theme “Can Democracy Save the Environment?”, is to propose and discuss differing answers to the question of what it really takes to get the job done when it comes to stopping and reversing the devastating damage done to our environment.

A few limited places will allow for participants from the previous editions of the World Forum to participate.
