Protecting Biodiversity through Regulating Trade and Business Relations

European consumption causes biodiversity loss far away from the place of consumption and predominantly in countries of the Global South. The research project ”Protecting Biodiversity through Regulating Trade and Business Relations” sets out to contribute to protecting biodiversity and safeguarding human rights outside Europe by analysing how the European Union (EU) and European countries can regulate their impacts abroad through effective, fair and coherent laws and policies.
