Medicines and cosmetics use substances derived from nature. But Bioprospecting can turn into biopiracy. More and more companies are patenting natural ingredients making billions. It can come at a cost to the environment and traditional communities living in biodiversity-rich regions.

Rising global temperatures have made extreme weather events like floods and wildfires more devastating. Climate disasters are causing billions of dollars in damage and hitting the poorest countries the hardest. But wealthy countries are responsible for the majority of earth-warming carbon emissions. A key question at the COP27 climate conference is: who should pay for the loss and damage due to climate change? DW takes a look at what developing countries want and what the world's biggest carbon emitters are willing to pay.

Eine Diskussion über die Bedeutung von sexuellem und gesellschaftlichen Konsens in Europa aus politischer, rechtlicher, und Betroffenensicht. Was braucht es um eine Kultur basierend auf Konsens zu kreieren? Die Istanbuler Konvention von 2011 wurde von diversen europäischen Ländern unterzeichnet. Dennoch gibt es zehn Jahre später immer noch eine Debatte über die Umsetzung von Artikel 36, die die Bedeutung von sexuellem Konsens hervorhebt. In der Richtlinie zur Bekämpfung von Gewalt gegen Frauen schlägt die Europäische Kommission vor, den Ansatz der Istanbuler Konvention innerhalb der Europäischen Union aufzugreifen.
