    Our demands for a European framework on minimum wages

    We need a European framework directive setting thresholds for decent adequate minimum wages in the Member States. In-work poverty is a big problem in Europe. If we want a social Europe, we need to make sure everyone earns a wage you can live on - a living wage.

    Green industrial policy for climate protection & jobs

    The decarbonisation of our industry will pave the way to climate neutrality and create jobs. Protecting the climate is a job creator.

The Green Deal can make the European Union the market leader in energy-efficient and resource-saving industrial processe…

    Getting out of the red: The Greenhouse Gas Budget

    When the European Union decided to propose a European Green Deal to try and reach the climate targets of the Paris Agreement, they had to start with one important thing: reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Commission laid out their plans and proposed their own targets. Unfortunately, the targets that have been set are not being backed …

    The cuts in EU4Health called for by the Council were irresponsible, especially in times of pandemic. It is a success that the European Parliament has tripled the amount envisaged by the Council in the budget negotiations.

    How Trees Can Stop Climate Change

    Trees are literally the lungs of the earth. They act as a ‘carbon sink’ absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and turning it into oxygen. After oceans, our forests are the world’s largest carbon sinks.
