Projectdetails

Introduction

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is an independent conservation organisation established in 1961, with over 5 million supporters, more than 30 million followers on social media, and a global network active in nearly 100 countries. Our mission is to stop the degradation of the planet's natural environment and to build a future in which people live in harmony with nature.

WWF European Policy Office

The WWF European Policy Office (EPO) helps shape EU policies that impact the European and global environment, in line with WWF's mission. It prepares policy recommendations, participates in public events on EU policy, communicates and campaigns on its policy positions to EU decision-makers and media, informs and mobilises its supporters, and advises its WWF Network Offices on how and when to influence key policy decisions in the national capitals.

Objectives of the Work Programme

These activities proposed in the last year of our 3-year work programme aim to help achieve a shift towards a sustainable, circular, efficient, and renewable energy-based, climate-neutral, and resilient economy, as outlined as the general objective of the LIFE programme.

Key Goals

We aim to tackle climate change, drive the clean energy transition, and halt and reverse biodiversity loss and the degradation of ecosystems. Concretely, we are pursuing three science-based targets to put nature on the path to recovery by 2030, namely:

  1. Zero loss of natural habitats
  2. Zero extinction of species
  3. Halving the footprint of consumption and production

Barriers to Achieving Objectives

Through our activities, we seek to tackle the main barriers to the achievement of the general objective of the LIFE programme:

  • Poor implementation and enforcement of EU environmental law
  • A lack of policy coherence throughout the stages of policy making
  • Low-level or missing EU standards and targets

Areas of Engagement

The main areas of engagement include:

  • Water
  • Resource efficiency
  • Environment
  • Forestry
  • Agriculture
  • Climate mitigation and adaptation
  • Energy
  • Biodiversity
  • Finance
  • Trade
  • Fisheries
  • External action
  • Governance
