Civic Space Report 2024

In our Civic Space Report 2024, we assess the space for civil society in Europe in 2023. The report finds that civic freedoms have continued to deteriorate. After taking office in 2019, the European Commission leadership committed to a “new push for European Democracy”. However, while the Commission has introduced a range of important measures to boost democracy, the report finds that space for civil society has continued to shrink, indicating that the EU must do more, better and differently to support and protect civil society.
