Stop Ecocide Belgium

Stop Ecocide Belgium is a movement that aims to include #ecocide (the massive destruction of ecosystems that is severe or systematic) in the Belgian criminal code, the European crime directive  and to support the work at international level to have ecocide recognised as a 5th crime against peace, alongside genocide. 

 

ECOCIDE is a word to describe what is happening to our planet; the mass damage and destruction of the natural living world.  It literally means “killing one’s home”.  And right now, in most of the world, no-one is held responsible.  

We collaborate with diplomats, politicians, lawyers, corporate leaders, NGOs, indigenous and faith groups, influencers, academic experts, grassroots campaigns, individuals and a wide network of allied groups to this end.

 

We also raise awareness so that the concept of ecocide and the need to implement the law are understood by society at large.

Contributions and Expenses
Stop Ecocide Belgium has partnered with Open Collective and the fiscal host All for Climate. Via their platform we can now easily accept contributions and reimburse expenses.

What expenses are eligible?
Funds will be used primarily to cover expenses of Stop Ecocide Belgium's volunteers campaigning for ecocide law, such as:

These are just examples: when in doubt, ask the finance team.

Eligible expenses up to €25 are eligible for reimbursement without prior approval.

Eligible expenses above €25 require prior approval by the finance team.

In order to have costs reimbursed, you need some kind of proof like a receipt, bill, or invoice. Submitting an expense is pretty easy, just follow these steps.

The finance team will check and approve or reject reimbursement requests, considering the account balance and the nature of the expense. We can’t guarantee that SEB will be able to reimburse your expense, unless you check with the finance team first.
