New study: Europe's investment protection policy drives corporate lawsuits and jeopardises climate targets<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

With the publication of the European ISDS Scorecard<\/em><\/a> lays PowerShift<\/span><\/span> Together with European partner organisations, for the first time a comprehensive comparative analysis of the investment protection policy of 30 European countries is presented. For this purpose, the investment protection policy of the 30 countries and their impact on the rest of the world was examined.<\/p>\n

The study clearly shows: Europe is at the heart of a global system that grants corporations far-reaching legal rights \u2013 with significant consequences for climate protection, democracy and public budgets. But the individual countries of Europe are very different from each other.<\/p>\n

Interactive tool: The European ISDS Scorecard \u2013 Comparing the Harmful Effects of Investment Protection Agreements<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Interactive scorecard<\/a> On the project side, the results are transparent and comparable for the first time: It shows at a glance how strongly individual European states are involved in the ISDS system \u2013 from the number of investment agreements to the use by investors and the associated climate risks. It highlights the clear differences between European countries and highlights where the most urgent action is needed.<\/p>\n
