by AI | 13.May 2024 | Europe in brief AI

Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, and many other NGOs criticize a “dismantling of green measures” within the European Union in an open letter published Monday.

Paris – NGOs advocating for the environment claim in an open letter published Monday that ” nature is not in conflict with our society’s capacity to thrive ” and denounce the ” dismantling of green measures ” in the EU.

” Some politicians in European capitals, and in EU institutions in Brussels, are accelerating the crises of nature and climate, risking the lives of the people they represent “, they warn in this text displayed on their websites.

These dozen NGOs like Friends of the Earth, BirdLife, Greenpeace, the Bird Protection League (LPO), or WWF also condemn the blocking of the “nature restoration” legislation, a key text of the European Green Deal, or the fact that ” Agriculture ministers threaten new EU rules aimed at combating deforestation worldwide “.

This call was launched less than a month before the election of the European Parliament taking place from June 6 to 9. (13.05.2024)
