Ecology

Ecology is one of the most important focuses of the HBS work in Croatia. In our activities it implies intense work in the environmental protection, compliance with (and implementation) of the legislation adjusted to EU acquis and strengthening of legal mechanisms in the environmental protection. For us, environmental issues are inevitably and tightly linked with the human rights protection and we aim to translate this relationship into our own activities or the activities of our partner organisations. In this context, our activities can be tracked in the scope from monitoring and analysis of the developments in the environmental, energy and climate policy to the active involvement in organising actions in cooperation with our partners. more»

WHAT'S CLIMATE GOT TO DO WITH IT? – May 5, 2010 - Expert round table: Climate change and new migration flows: climate migration impacts on EU migration and asylum policy


Around 20 experts and activists from climate policy field and immigration and asylum policy took part in the HBS expert talk on climate migration which was held on 23rd of April 2010 in Zagreb in premises of Goethe Institute Croatia. Lack of coherence and coordination between these two policy settings and lack of recognition of climate migrants as the new category in the international legal framework were, in adittion to discussion on security and solidarity, two most important departure points of the discussion.

Is Copenhagen Allowed to Kill Kyoto? – December 19, 2009 - The redirection of financial flow to more pure and green technologies may indeed occur after Copenhagen, but will this process be managed by those who have built it? Will the principles of justice, solidarity and transparency be incorporated into this process? This concept is probably not very interesting to the delegates of about thirty of the most developed countries who have been sketching new agreements in the Bella Center in the past days. It seems that big business has succeeded in skilfully capturing the climate change discourse and has now redirected all available development and humanitarian resources by calling it reductively a solidarity to combat  climate changes in developing countries.

Western Balkan countries face their first recession
The world economic system has evolved to a state in which national economies are highly interconnected and interdependent. This means that what may at first sight appear to be a US economic problem could soon develop into a worldwide phenomenon, with its consequences sparing no one.
