Interview with Pascal Canfin – What the EU is doing to protect and repair nature
Episode details
Episode description
Zero emissions for cars, a ban on single-use plastics and products issued from deforestation, stricter rules for waste management, support for the energy transition... The European Union is doing a lot to protect nature, says Pascal Canfin, chair of Parliament's environment committee. “But still, we need to go even further,” he insists in this interview, recorded shortly before the start of COP 28, the United Nations global conference on climate change, held from 30 November until 12 December 2023 in Dubai. He explains what else Parliament wants to do to protect nature in the EU and highlights Europe's responsibility towards the rest of the world. “Climate is a global issue and we are the largest market in the world. (...) We want to guarantee to the European consumer (...) that when they have a coffee or a cocoa they are not contributing, even without knowing, to the deforestation of the tropical forests of this world”.
