What’s at risk if the EU cuts its green budget | In Conversation with Faustine Bas-Defossez from EEB

Nature is one of our strongest allies in the fight against climate change. So why is the EU cutting funding for it? In our latest  conversation with Faustine Bas-Defossez, Director for Nature, Health and Environment at EEB, we examine who benefits from deregulation, how “simplification” is creating legal and political uncertainty, and why nature is being quietly deprioritized, despite gigantic climate risks. What does this mean for the silent majority? Those who care about climate, nature, and democracy, but rarely feel heard. Are you a part of it? If you are interested in taking part in future editions, please contact Kasia Mielec, our head of strategic partnerships.
