The EU is Bankrolling Ecosystem Destruction

Greenpeace International
Through consumption of products from cleared and degraded land and through finance of companies profiting from this, the EU contributes to the destruction of forests and other ecosystems both within and outside its borders. This report, published by Greenpeace, Milieudefensie and Harvest, lays out the importance of EU regulation of the financial sector to align finance with the global 1.5°C and biodiversity targets, including ending any new provision of financial services to groups that contribute to nature destruction. Profundo conducted the financial research for the report.
