Goals / Remit
Die Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) ist eine politisch unabhängige Umwelt-, Natur- und Verbraucherschutzorganisation, die auf nationaler und europäischer Ebene tätig ist. Sie fördert nachhaltige Lebens- und Wirtschaftsformen, die ökologische Belastungsgrenzen respektieren. Sie setzt sich für den Schutz der Naturgüter und den Erhalt der biologischen Vielfalt ein. Klimaschutz, nachhaltige Mobilität, Ressourcenschonung und Kreislaufwirtschaft sowie die Durchsetzung von Verbraucherschutz sind weitere wichtige Themen. Die DUH sucht den Dialog und den breiten Schulterschluss mit Akteuren aus Zivilgesellschaft, der Umweltbewegung, Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft und Politik, die ernsthaft an wirklichen Lösungen interessiert sind und vorangehen. Sie mobilisiert die Öffentlichkeit und spricht unbequeme Wahrheiten an. Dabei arbeitet sie stets transparent und faktenbasiert und trägt durch eigene Umfragen und Datenanalysen zur Faktenbasis bei.

Meetings
Meetings
9 meetings found. Download meetings
The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
