The purpose of this page is to inform a broad audience about current and important European stories through critical journalism. We hope to produce accessible journalism that will leave our audience interested and curious.

Europe is in what many are calling a “permacrisis,” a state where policymakers and institutions are forced to jump from one crisis to the next.

And the climate crisis remains perhaps the most pressing issue of our time. So in dealing with multiple crises at once, Europe finds itself at several crossroads. In our reporting, we aim to lay out some of the choices faced by politicians, activists and institutions across this continent, with reporting from the cities pictured below.
