Jun 11, 2024Championing the change: Priorities for the next European Commission and European Parliament (2024-2029)Read
EJF's recent investigations into exploitation and illegal fishing on Chinese vessels in the Southwest Indian Ocean and the destruction of the Pantanal wetland in Brazil have brought to light the alarming pace of global environmental destruction, often accompanied by egregious human rights violations.
These crucial issues underscore the urgent need for the EU’s global leadership. EJF’s recommendations highlight strategic priorities underrepresented in political discussions, envisioning the EU’s next term, from 2024 to 2029, as a period of intensified efforts to combat illegal fishing and strengthen wetland protection worldwide.
