The Heartland Institute, linked to the Trump administration, has established a presence in Europe to align with rightwing politicians opposing environmental legislation. Amid a rise in anti-climate action sentiment, they have been actively campaigning against bills like the nature restoration law. With support from MEPs from Poland, Hungary, and Austria, Heartland has sought to discredit established climate science. Notably, it participated in favorable European parliamentary platforms and facilitated meetings that encourage climate denial, reviving dangerous rhetoric that dismisses the legitimacy of human-induced climate change.
"The Heartland Institute has been working with rightwing politicians in Europe to campaign against environmental policies, reviving grotesque climate denialism in the EU."
"After establishing a foothold among rightwing MEPs earlier this year, Heartland's influence has grown, facilitating their anti-climate campaign in Europe."
