What is AMLA?

In 2021, the European Commission presented ambitious plans to step up its engagement with anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism. In addition to unifying substantive law across the EU, the primary goal is to establish a European Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AMLA), which will take the EU’s efforts to the next level. amla-frankfurt.eu/amla/

pressing climate justice problems: (1)The need to secure $US billions to meet the
costs of climate adaptation in poor countries; and (2) the need for a global effort

food insecurity.
