    Cruel animal transports are a result of bad political choices. They don't have to happen. Our current industrial farming system is bad for citizens, for the environment and for animals. It makes animals suffer. It destroys land and water. It Increases greenhouse gas emissions and bankrupts small farmers. No one else profits from it than t…

    No green light from Greens/EFA - CAP reform is set to again fail farmers, climate & environment

    The majority of MEPs voted in favour of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) for 2023-2027. Rather than using this next CAP period, and one third of the EU budget, to help solve the climate and environment emergency, or the loss of thousands of farmers per day, the final agreement repackages the status quo and falls short of the promises …

    Commission proposal welcome but more needed to protect ecosystems & human rights

    New EU deforestation law could fail to protect our precious ecosystems

    Anna Cavazzini Rosa D’Amato Anna Deparnay-Grunenberg Heidi Hautala Tilly Metz Ville Niinistö Grace O'Sullivan Marie Toussaint
    Opinion by Anna Cavazzini & Rosa D’Amato & Anna Deparnay-Grunenberg & Heidi Hautala & Tilly Metz & Ville Niinistö & Grace O'Sullivan & Marie Toussaint
    The Commission just adopted a proposal to stop deforestation. But this new deforestation law is all bark and no bite. It continues to threaten biodiversity and ecosystems worldwide, and EU products continue to be complicit in environmental destruction.
