European Policy
Europeans have a special responsibility to save nature. The average European consumes more of the planet's natural resources per capita than most of the rest of the world, and also pollutes more. If we want to save nature, Europeans must learn how to consume and waste less.
This is where WWF's European Policy Office comes in. Started in 1989, it acts as the eyes, ears and mouth of the WWF network on EU issues. Its job is to coordinate policy work in Europe and influence the political developments in the 'capital' of Europe.
The European Union is potentially one of the world's largest funding sources for sustainable development. It is also a signatory of major international conventions for protecting nature. WWF concentrates on eight policy objectives, including the European Union's biggest spending programmes, the Common Agricultural Policy and the Regional Development Funds. The WWF European Policy Office works with decision-makers in European Institutions, in business and in science and research institutes. Today WWF is acknowledged as the leading nature conservation group in Brussels.
