    Climate Package offers lift-off for climate protection

    The European Commission has presented its climate package on Delivering the European Green Deal.

    Ending Modern Day Slavery: Towards an EU Import Ban on Forced Labour

    Around 25 million people are estimated to be in forced labour around the world. The products they make often land in the European market, and so we unwillingly consume and contribute to this exploitation. But this should not be the case! The European Parliament has called several times for a new EU ...

    Genetic engineering for sustainable food systems?

    The Commission plans to exclude certain GM plants from the EU requirements for GMO authorisation, traceability and labelling. We have discussed this plan with a scientist, a farmer, a plant breeder and a non-GMO certifier, as well as a representative from the European Commission itself.

    Alternatives to detention and non-custodial measures

    The use of non-custodial measures as an alternative to detention is relevant both as a means to reduce prison overcrowding and as a tool to facilitate the social reintegration of convicted persons and thus to reduce recidivism. However, research seems to show that such positive effects only follow when the use of alternatives to detention…

    Seeking Progress Towards Climate-Supportive Trade

    Greening the EU trade policy is an absolute requirement to achieve the emission reduction targets the EU has given itself. Trade agreements shape the economic relation between countries for decades to come, decades during which both the EU and NZ economy will have to be profoundly transformed. We cannot afford business as usual.
