(09 May 2014) – Olivier De Schutter mentions AEIDL in an article on the societal transition published in Le Monde today.
The UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food and Professor of International Human Rights Law at Université catholique de Louvain and other academic institutions, Olivier De Schutter, mentions AEIDL’s ‘Europe in Transition’ report written by Eamon O’Hara in 2013, which has led to the recent creation of the ECOLISE network.
According to Prof. De Schutter, the EU should pay more attention to the thousands of local social and environmental initiatives that are emerging throughout Europe, and transcend the debate between the supporters of budgetary constraint and the opponents of austerity.
