FoEE Campaigns |
|
 |
The massive expansion of agrofuels to supply fuel for Europe's cars and power stations could come at a high environmental and social costs. FoE is campaigning for Europe to drop its mandatory 10% target and to force the automobile industry to clean up their cars. |

|
 |
Climate change could trigger an unprecedented global economic, social and environmental disaster. FoEE campaigns against Europe's "Carbon Dinosaurs" who perpetuate our dependence on fossil fuels, prevent effective action on climate change and block our way to a sustainable future of renewable energies, increased energy efficiency and a reduction in total energy demand. |
|
|
 |
Big multinational companies are the main drive behind the current neo-liberal ideology of privatisation, liberalisation of markets and the diminishing role of governments. FoEE's campaign aims at exposing the harmful impacts of corporate led globalization and corporate power and is campaigning for legally binding international standards to stop corporate abuses |

EU Funds – Billions for Sustainability Representing more than one third of the EU's budget, the Structural and Cohesion funds are fundamentally shaping the long-term development of the new member states in Central and Eastern Europe. Our aim is to make sure that the billions are spent efficiently, in a transparent manner and that they contribute to sustainable development. |

 |
Today, energy savings is a purely voluntary policy that European countries have largely ignored. Friends of the Earth groups around Europe are calling for binding EU energy saving targets, and strong and social policies at the local and national level to ensure that every country contributes to saving energy. |

 |
The risk of GMO contamination of organic/conventional farming is a real concern. FoEE works to secure strict EU legislation on GMO releases, traceability and labelling of GM food, legal liability for GM producers and the right for people to say NO to GMOs. |

The EEurope is using an ever-increasing amount of the world's resources, and is now more dependent on imported resources than any other global region. The Earth’s ability to sustain this pattern of consumption is already being pushed to the limit. But Europe’s dependence on imported resources also makes it economically vulnerable, with the extraction and processes of these resources having both social and environmental impacts.

 |
Friends of the Earth Europe is committed to reversing Europe's "throw-away" culture. We are campaigning to save the Earth's precious natural resources. We firmly believe in reducing the amount of waste produced in the first place, reusing products wherever possible and then recycling materials rather than dumping them in landfill or burning them in incinerators. |
