Evropská zelená dohoda je jádrem současné klimatické strategie EU, která si stanovila za cíl učinit z Evropy do roku 2050 uhlíkově neutrální zemi. Ve snaze monitorovat a potírat dezinformační narativy o Zelené dohodě zahájil Beacon project vedený International Republican Institute iniciativu nazvanou "European Green Deal: Mapping perceptions in Central and Eastern Europe", v jejímž rámci šest partnerských organizací zkoumalo, jak je dohoda vnímána v Bulharsku, Česku, Polsku, Rumunsku a na Slovensku. Naše projektová manažerka a juniorská výzkumnice Tatiana Mindeková analyzovala narativy šířené o Zelené dohodě a zelené politice EU prostřednictvím českých řetězových e-mailů i vybraných mainstreamových médií a webových stránek známých šířením dezinformací.

Rádi bychom Vás pozvali na debatu na téma "Před 80 lety prohlásil generál de Gaulle Mnichovskou dohodu za neplatnou". Dne 29. září 1942 prohlásil generál de Gaulle Mnichovskou dohodu za neplatnou od samého počátku. Bylo to silné gesto a nedoceněný akt odporu. Jak můžeme jeho prohlášení rozumět? Proč zrovna v tento den? Jaké byly bezprostřední důsledky pro vztahy mezi Čechoslováky a Francouzi? A jaký je obecně odkaz Mnichovské dohody ve Francii, v České republice a v jádru francouzsko-českých vztahů?
