EU-level agreements: a successful tool? Lessons from the agreement with the automotive industry

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is one of the largest non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that work to preserve biodiversity globally, by protecting species and habitats, preventing destructive resource use and reducing pollution. At the European level, it works to ensure that the European Union (EU) plays an environmental leadership role in world affairs, and that European citizens play their full part in reducing damaging impacts on the Earth’s ecosystems.
