2 In the run-up to the European elections, WWF launched an online pledge ep2014.wwf.eu for all candidates to show their commitment to protect our environment and health, as well as create jobs and a stronger economy, if elected as Members of the European Parliament on May In total 640 candidates, across all 28 EU Member States and political groups, signed WWF s pledge. With the results of the elections public, 132 elected candidates now MEPs from 19 EU countries and 60 different political parties have signed WWF s pledge. WWF trusts that these 132 MEPs will work to deliver the environmental, economic and social changes Europe needs during this Parliament s term. WWF will approach these MEPs both in their constituency and Brussels to collaborate with them, as well as all other supportive MEPs to progress the key EU policy priorities over the next 5 years. In the following analysis we take an in-depth look at which specific environmental policies the 132 MEPs have pledged to support, as well as their demographics and political affiliations. This will give us an early indication of how European and national parties might vote in the next five years when it comes to environmental issues and it helps us understand how we can best work together to guarantee that environmental protection stays at the top of Europe s political agenda. Introduction... 2 The pledge... 3 Who pledged... 4 Political affiliations... 5 Specific commitments... 7 List of MEP pledgers
3 Election candidates across Europe were contacted by both WWF and voters asking them to pledge for at least one of the nine policy goals identified by WWF as essential to reduce Europe s global footprint in the next five years (see below). The nine environmental policy goals were further detailed in both a summary and detailed manifesto which WWF developed for the EU elections. WWF s manifesto is available on: In addition to the nine policy goals, candidates also had the possibility of filling out a tenth pledge which they chose themselves. The pledge was promoted in 10 different languages 1 by WWF offices all over Europe. Voters across Europe had the opportunity to see online and ahead of the European elections which of their national candidates had already pledged, and could contact their political groups via and twitter asking them to support the pledge. More than s and tweets have been sent to different political groups. An online video titled If you care, they will care was created to further highlight the importance of Europe for people s health and the environment and invite people to choose candidates who will care about their interests. 1 The languages offered were English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Greek, Slovenian, Croatian and Dutch. 3
4 The 132 elected MEPs who pledged for the environment come from 19 different EU Member States and 60 national political parties. The country with the highest number of supportive MEPs is Germany, with 29 MEPs (30% of all German MEPs). Country Pledges Total MEPs Ratio Germany % France % Italy % Sweden % United Kingdom % Belgium % Netherlands % Denmark % Spain % Croatia % Portugal % Slovenia % Finland % Romania % Czech Republic % Luxembourg % Austria % Ireland % Hungary % 67% of them are returning MEPs from the term. Returning MEPs signing the pledge tend to come from across the political spectrum, with less of an over representation of Green members, compared to the total number of candidates that signed the pledge. 52% of elected MEPs that signed the WWF pledge are women. This is higher than the overall percentage of women in the European Parliament, which stands at 37% for the legislature. 4
5 Distribution of pledges per European political group 2 The S&D accounts for the highest number of MEPs that pledged, with 45 elected candidates committing to support environmental policies. MEPs affiliated with centre-right European Political Groups such as EPP, ALDE and ECR have been pledging the least, accounting together for only 21% of total candidates pledging. Newly elected MEPs from parties that did not previously have a seat in the European Parliament, or have not been affiliated to any European Political Group, account for roughly 13% of total MEPs pledging. All of these parties have now joined established political groups in the Parliament. Proportionately to the size of the European Political Group, the Greens/EFA has the largest percentage (70%) of its MEPs supporting the WWF pledge. 2 Based on information available on last consulted on 26 June
6 Share of MEPs supporting the WWF pledge 3 (per European Political Group) 7% 24% 16% 3% 70% 25% 19% 3 Based on information available on last consulted on 12 June
7 82% of the MEPs that pledged support all 9 policy goals. The remaining 18% identified water protection and climate change as the most important policy goals they will work on. 28% of all elected candidates that pledged decided to add one or more additional policy goals they would like the EU to work on in the next five years. Some of the most popular owninitiative pledges include: - Improving animal welfare standards. - Reducing air pollution and improving air quality. - Forbidding the extraction of natural gas by hydraulic fracturing. - Banning GMOs from our food chain. 7
