Since 2000, the EU has adopted a very hostile stance towards GMO crops, and it’s carried over into its opposition to new plant breeding techniques (NPBTs), such as CRISPR gene editing. Unlike in many other countries, including the US, Brazil, Japan, England, Canada and Argentina, the next generation of European crops will not be pesticide resistant and more nutritious, or tweaked to resist disease, drought, flooding and browning.

The EU can become the world leader in the energy transition. It should be the explicit aim of this effort to provide the path towards an effective global approach to climate policy. To tap into a fruitful division of labour, research and investment projects entailing high European value added and policy instruments for setting incentives for the greening of the European economy should be coordinated at the European level. Previous work by the French Council of Economic Analysis (CAE) and the German Council of Economic Experts (GCEE) (GCEE 2019, CAE and GCEE 2019), as well as the interdisciplinary work of the German national academies of science (acatech et al. 2020), advocated the pricing of carbon as the leading instrument of European climate policy.

The biodiversity in Germany s agricultural landscape has declined considerably in recent years, even in nature reserves. In their joint statement Biodiversity and Management of Agricultural Landscapes - Wide-ranging action is now crucial , the German Academies of Sciences make recommendations in eight fields of action. They state the protection of biodiversity as an urgent and complex challenge. A change in society as a whole towards sustainable farming is required. It is important to also take the economic, political, legal, and social parameters of agriculture into account. Thus, the scientists recommend a systematic approach, implementing a variety of solutions at the same time. As the most important starting point, subsidies paid to the agricultural industry as part of the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union (CAP) should be more closely tied to quantifiable ecosystem services that have actually been provided.
