Agrofuel Moratorium Call
The Agrofuel Moratorium call had a huge number of signatories, many from the global south, already feeling the impacts of the interest in biofuels as a so-called sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.
However, the directive, mostly focused on bioenergy rather than wind, wave or solar, went ahead and helped to propel the EU towards a biofuel policy whose negative impacts are still being felt around the world.
Gene Drives - a report on their science, applications, social aspects, ethics and regulations
According to the report website:
Synthetic Gene Drives are a new form of genetic engineering intended to bypass the rules of inheritance in order to accelerate the spread of modified genes across wild populations. Whilst normally genes have a 50% chance of being passed on to the next generation, gene drives change the odds dramatically in their own favour. Synthetic gene drives are being developed to modify, replace or even eradicate wild populations or species.
