Wild Talks
#wildtalks A citizens deliberation on the Green Transition
Nature and the ecosystems that help us live are in big trouble. Things like large-scale farming, cutting down forests, spreading cities, and pollution are hurting biodiversity in Europe. This puts thousands of animals and habitats at risk. Changes to rivers and lakes, like building dams and taking too much water, along with invasive species and the climate crisis, damage our ecosystems. How can ensure we take care of our nature world?

Conversation with Joe Mac
To address environmental crises and biodiversity loss, societal values must shift from prioritizing constant economic growth and corporate profits to emphasizing well-being and respect for nature. This shift involves redefining success to include ecological health and social equity, using metrics like the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) alongside GDP.
Governments should enforce stronger environmental regulations, redirect subsidies from harmful industries to sustainable practices, and offer tax incentives for environmentally friendly businesses. Public awareness and education are crucial for fostering a culture that values biodiversity and sustainability, leading to increased public pressure on politicians.
Strengthening legal frameworks, such as recognizing the rights of nature, can protect ecosystems. Businesses should adopt sustainability reporting and corporate social responsibility practices that go beyond profit maximization, measuring and reporting their environmental impact.
I agree. I think, that one measure is to apply the supply chain law (approved already in EU und Germany) also to all agricultural products: there must be sanctions for products, which in the productions chain damage environment and people. We have to begin in Europe with the implementation of this law.
