This is an excellent opportunity for a lawyer or legal professional to contribute to ClientEarth’s Fisheries Project which aims to improve fisheries management in Europe and end overfishing and to develop our work to promote a fairer tax system that better reflects the “polluter pays” principle across different sectors.
The EU heavily subsidizes its fishing industry, notably through tax exemptions on fossil fuels for large fishing fleets. Many of these subsidies are not only harmful to marine biodiversity, but also contribute to climate change. Reforming tax systems is a key component in the fight for a healthier planet.
In this role, you will be managed by Laurène Provost. Laurène leads the Public Finance, Energy Markets and Competition team which aims to better align public finance and taxation with climate and environmental objectives. Before joining ClientEarth in 2020, Laurène was a qualified lawyer in France and Belgium, practising energy and environmental law. In her spare time, Laurène enjoys painting and is also a certified yoga teacher who gives classes to women and children.
