Europe

GCAP Europe consists of 21 National Coalitions, with a Secretariat that is based in Brussels. GCAP Europe is also on the Steering Group of SDG Watch Europe and part of the EU DEAR funded projects Make Europe Sustainable for All (MESA) and Faces of Migration. GCAP Europe’s coalitions are very active, especially in raising awareness on the SDGs and holding their governments accountable.

Our EU-wide SDG10 report Falling through the cracks: Exposing inequalities in Europe and beyond which highlights that despite the European Union’s commitment to leave no one behind, millions of people in Europe are falling victim to widening inequalities. It consists of 15 national reports and 11 thematic chapters exploring key dimensions of inequality, including gender, age, disability, ethnicity and homelessness in Europe. The report was created through GCAP’s Faces of Inequality campaign and jointly written via the MESA project and with SDG Watch Europe and the contributions of 58 organizations.
