Mar 28, 2019Climate action to secure human rights worldwide: A position paper for the German political landscapeRead
Ascending to the UN Security Council this year, and in 2020 assuming presidency of the EU, Germany is being given a prime opportunity to shape global action on climate change. In order to become a credible leader, Germany must meet its 2020 emissions reduction target, and create a legal structure in which it cannot fail to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 at the latest. As well as mitigating climate change, Germany can safeguard the rights of those being forced to flee their homes because of global warming, facilitating and enshrining an international agreement to protect climate refugees. EJF's briefing explains why Germany must rise to the challenge.

Mar 07, 2019Gender Analysis: Ghana's Artisanal Fisheries 2019Read
Women play a vital part in Ghana's fisheries as business owners and fishmongers, yet have little say against the illegal fishing methods that are damaging their livelihoods. This gender report, co-authored by Hen Mpoano and EJF under the Far Dwuma Nkɔdo project, provides a close look at the gender dynamics of the artisanal fisheries sector, and makes recommendations to further empower women. It calls for the strengthening of women's organisations and the provision of leadership training, to build towards greater gender equity.

Feb 22, 2019Working Conditions on Fishing Vessels in West Africa: A case study of abandoned crew in Las PalmasRead
Isabel's 12 crew from several West African countries were stranded in the Spanish port of Las Palmas where the vessel was detained by Spanish authorities for a number of safety and administrative infractions. The crew were forced to live on board the boat for five months with inadequate food and accommodation. The crew members received 300 euros in total, only 25% of their salary. On the return of Isabel to Côte d’Ivoire in January 2014, one of the crew drowned in an accident in port. There was no evidence that steps were being taken to maintain adequate health and safety standards on the boat at the time of the accident.The treatment of Isabel’s crew in Las Palmas demonstrates that cases of abuse in the fishing sector can happen anywhere in the world and are not issues isolated to fisheries in developing countries.

Feb 06, 2019Rights at risk: Arctic climate change and the threat to Sami cultureRead
The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world. This is putting its unique ecosystem at risk, and with it the existence of Europe’s only recognised indigenous people, the Sami, who have lived in the Arctic for millennia. Increasingly unpredictable and extreme weather is jeopardising Sami livelihoods and their rights as indigenous people. The Sami have a clear message for decision makers, from the front lines of climate change: now is the time to act.
