Europes excessive material and consumption footprint has severe social and environmental consequences worldwide. We cannot continue to extract from a finite planet, nor recycle our way out of the current ecological crisis. The EU urgently needs to move away from a linear economy and ensure that resource extraction, processing, and waste do not exceed what the Earth can sustain.

Their record over time
Friends of the Earth Europe filed 2 positions between 11 Sept 2025 and 6 Nov 2025, across 2 of the 326 legislative files tracked here, attaching a full position paper 2 times.
What they argued
Friends of the Earth Europe is deeply concerned that the European Commissions plans for CO2 transport and dumping and risk a further lock-in of fossil fuels in Europe, further support for the fossil fuel industry who are at the heart of the climate crisis, another distraction from the clean solutions which we need to pursue and yet another dangerous delay to the day when we exit all fossil fuels.
