    Indonesia’s empty climate promises and commitment to coal today are a reflection of short-sighted and pro-capital policymaking at a time when the planetary implications are catastrophic. This issue brief unpacks the details of how Indonesia's production of coal is being ramped up rather than phased out.

    Fisheries and Fisher peoples

    Fisheries are one of Europe’s most challenging and dangerous employment sectors. While they remain a central pillar of the European food system, the sector still relies on strikingly unequal and gendered labour relations. This report looks at the French case, where women are the engine behind the commercialisation of local artisanal fish.

  • Rendre visibles les dynamiques de genre dans la pêche en France Obstacles et opportunités dans la pêche soutenue par la communauté

    Fisheries and Fisher peoples

    La pêche fait partie des secteurs de l’emploi les plus difficiles et dangereux d’Europe. Bien que ce secteur demeure un pilier central du système alimentaire européen, les relations de travail y sont toujours incroyablement marquées par les inégalités et le sexisme. Ce rapport analyse le cas de la France, où les femmes constituent le moteur de la commercialisation du poisson local issu de la pêche artisanale.
