Dear Friends and Supporters,
It was an intensive time for the team, as our big event this year, the "Policy Oscar" award ceremony, took place. You can imagine: it was different than before Corona. But we put on a fantastic virtual awards ceremony and honoured our winners with the glamour they deserve. If you missed out on watching the event live, you can catch up on our YouTube channel - and learn about the best policies to protect us from hazardous chemicals! Our charming host Jennifer Sarah Boone guides us through the programme, interviews our executive director Alexandra Wandel, and other WFC greats such as Jakob von Uexkull, Dr Vandana Shiva and Prof Dr Michael Otto also have their say. There will be music and art - there is something for everyone! Come and visit us, we would be delighted!
Despite difficult times, we would like to serve you a light newsletter that gives you hope and a few good vibes.
Warm regards,
