Sep 17, 2024Funding, restoring and protecting global wetlandsRead
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.

Aug 15, 2024Burning Capital: How Taiwan’s public funds risk public assets and fuel the climate crisisRead
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.

Aug 06, 2024La 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 HabitatsRead
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.

Spanning 42 million acres, the Pantanal is home to a vast array of species, many of which are vulnerable or endangered. It is an important carbon sink and plays a critical role in climate regulation for South America. The Pantanal is also home to 1.2 million people, including eleven Indigenous territories. However, the vast majority of the Pantanal is unprotected and increasingly threatened by extensive fires.

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.

Jun 07, 2024Marea de injusticia : Explotación y pesca ilegal en embarcaciones chinas en el suroeste del océano ÍndicoRead
El presente informe esboza un mapa de la presencia y las actividades de la flota de altura china en el Océano Índico Sudoccidental, una región conocida por su paisaje marino rico en biodiversidad, que constituye el sustento para las comunidades costeras de la zona. China mantiene desde hace tiempo vínculos económicos y políticos cada vez más estrechos con la región, y ha destacado la economía azul del Océano Índico Sudoccidental como una zona clave de inversión y asociación. A la luz de los riesgos asociados a la presencia de la flota de altura china –que hoy en día se conocen mejor– es necesario examinar dichas inversiones para garantizar que la economía azul del Océano Índico Sudoccidental sea legal, sostenible y equitativa.
