Zukunft sichern: Klimaschutz für ein modernes Land – Forderungen zur Bundestagswahl 2025: Das Positionspapier zur Bundestagswahl 2025 soll sicherstellen, dass die Fortschritte beim Klimaschutz aus der aktuellen Legislaturperiode weitergeführt und beschleunigt werden und genug Geld für Klimaschutzmaßnahmen bereitsteht.
Protecting our Oceans by Enforcing EU Nature Laws: Although marine protected areas (MPAs) can be powerful tools in protecting and restoring Europe's seas, they are underutilised due to weak enforcement and management, in violation of EU nature protection laws. Their effective management is critical for biodiversity, climate and fisheries.
Uncovered: China – Seafood Superpower: To stop imports from Chinese-owned seafood companies engaging in slavery and illegal, unreported & unregulated fishing, transparency and strict import control are critical. As the biggest seafood market in the world - importing over 60% of its consumption - the EU must block entry of all abuse-tainted products and profits.
A global toolkit for participatory fisheries governance: This toolkit has been produced by the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) with funding from the European Union (EU).

Funding, restoring and protecting global wetlands: Wetlands store twice as much carbon as all the world’s forests combined, making them essential for ensuring a stable climate. They also support the livelihoods of over a billion people worldwide. However, we are losing them at a rate three times faster than forests. Global commitments to protect and restore wetlands remain underfunded.
Burning Capital: How Taiwan’s public funds risk public assets and fuel the climate crisis: Reaching net zero by 2050 is a legally binding target for the Taiwanese government, but continuing investments in fossil fuels hamper the country’s efforts to slash emissions and mean the government is failing in its fiduciary duty as a fund manager for the people. It is crucial that Taiwan actively mitigates the climate crisis by transforming its public fund investments, together with all other sectors.
La gestion des risques liés aux activités de pêche maritime professionnelle au regard des enjeux socio-économiques en zone Natura 2000 : Une pratique administrative incompatible avec les obligations de la France au titre de la Directive Habitats: La mise en œuvre de la Directive Habitats par la France, en ce qui concerne la prise en compte des risques liés aux activités de pêche maritime professionnelle lors de l’élaboration des mesures de gestion, apparaît incompatible avec ses obligations au titre du droit européen. Cette note a pour objet de rappeler les obligations incombant à la France au titre de la Directive Habitats en matière de protection du milieu marin et de prise en compte des enjeux socio-économiques dans l’élaboration et la mise en œuvre des mesures de conservation, et d’attirer l’attention des services de l’État sur le défaut de conformité de la pratique administrative française en la matière.
