There is widespread recognition that urgent action is needed to combat the climate crisis. Yet the EU still refuses to change its harmful bioenergy policies in a meaningful way. We cannot fight fire
by burning forests, protect species and store carbon by destroying natural habitats, or ensure food security by burning crops for fuel.

In this civil society manifesto, we call on the EU to must stop rewarding the destruction of climate and nature, and instead support the shift towards wiser uses of biomass.
