Charting the future of the Green Foreign & Security Policy narrative

In a world of constant turmoil and estranged partnerships, the importance of dedicated progressive thinkers in foreign and security policy is paramount. The green foreign policy fellowship aims to support and enable these thinkers, expanding and crystallizing their thought. But what is the green foreign policy fellowship exactly? Each fellowship period is different in terms of focus areas, so perhaps it’s best to leave the answer to the green foreign policy fellows themselves. In this collection of articles, the fellows selected for the 2025-2026 period set out their plans and elaborate on the relevance and necessity of their work. Whether elaborating on the Green Foreign & Security Policy narrative, criticising it or putting it to the test of practice, the fellows aim is to further develop and expand the points of reference codified with the 2023 Green Foreign Policy Snapshots publication of the Heinrich Böll Foundation’s Thessaloniki Office.
