Supported projects

BARCELONA - This investigation set out to explore the hidden dynamics behind the rapid expansion of solar energy projects in Catalonia and in Italy and their impact on rural communities.

TARGU LAPUS / DRAHOBRAT - This investigation looks at three localities facing problems of illegal dumping, landfill development and rifts between citizens and local authorities, and what is being done to address them.

BRUSSELS - This investigation explores how two companies have engineered a silent crisis at the heart of poultry production. Modern broiler chickens grow four times faster than they did in the 1950s - at a steep cost to welfare.

KYIV – This project aims to empower independent regional journalists in Ukraine to investigate and report on critical environmental issues, while also drawing broader national and international attention to these challenges through strategic partnerships and visibility efforts.

BARCELONA - This training programme aims to foster collaboration between investigative journalists and photojournalists to address desertification in Europe through innovative storytelling.

ATHENS / SOFIA / ROME - This project focuses on the real-world dynamics of renewable energy deployment in three key countries in Southern and South-Eastern Europe. Despite their different histories, economies, and regulatory structures, they face surprisingly similar obstacles in their quest of clean, secure, and socially inclusive energy systems.

BRUSSELS – The EU aims to capture 50 million tonnes of CO2 a year by 2030. However, several major CCS projects backed by EU funds are facing serious challenges, from high operating costs to local opposition.

ARLES - This is a four-day hybrid workshop designed to equip 10 emerging documentary photographers or journalist with the skills, tools, and networks needed to produce in-depth, impactful environmental stories.

IJMUIDEN - After pulse fishing was banned by the European Parliament in 2018, many Dutch fishermen switched to flyshooting. However, flyshoot fishing mainly targets species for which there is too little data to manage stocks properly. These are not subject to quotas and fishermen can take them out of the sea without limit. And that is a recipe for overfishing.

TIRANA/MILANO - The destruction of the Balkans' forests continues, especially in the remote areas of Albania where the law doesn't reach and corruption reigns. It's a deep-rooted and local phenomenon, but it's supported by an international dynamic that involves Europe and, above all, the country's best partner in crime: Italy.
