The Movement of Ecologists – Citizens' Cooperation (Greek: Κίνημα Οικολόγων – Συνεργασία Πολιτών, romanized: Kínima Oikológon – Synergasía Politón, ΚΟΣΠ, KOSP), formerly known as the Ecological and Environmental Movement (Greek: Κίνημα Οικολόγων Περιβαλλοντιστών, romanized: Kínima Oikológon Perivallontistón), is a green[2] political party in Cyprus.
In both the 2001 and 2006 legislative elections, the party won 2.0% of the popular vote and 1 of 56 seats.[4] In 2011, it garnered 2.2% of the popular vote, and its sole parliamentarian, George Perdikes, retained his seat.
The party increased its seat count from 1 to 2 following the 2016 legislative elections, where it obtained 4.8% of the vote, coming in seventh place. In the same year, the party adopted its current name and a new logo.[5]
In the 2026 legislative elections, the party lost all its seats in the House of Representatives, rendering it without parliamentary representation for the first time since the 1996 election.[6]
