Abstract:
Biofuels have been put forward as a way to reduce carbon emissions and tackle climate change. ActionAid believes they will not serve as the solution to either of these challenges. There is increasing evidence that the EU’s reliance on so-called first generation industrial biofuels to meet its renewable energy targets is instead fuelling land grabs and causing global food price rises and volatility.
