👏 New from World Rainforest Movement: a sharp briefing exposing how the pulp & paper industry manufactures demand to expand monoculture plantations at huge cost to forests & communities. Essential reading! 🌍 📖 www.wrm.org.uy/publications...

We have signed this important letter, too:

NEW: 156 organisations call for EU-wide ban on new waste incineration. Why? 🔥 EU already has 60M tonne overcapacity crisis. 🌍 Higher carbon emissions than many energy sources. ♻️ Blocks circular economy progress. ☠️ Toxic chemicals found in nearby communities. Joint letter: www.betterthanburning.eu

👉 What risks do these solutions pose, and how do they distract from real climate action? Join us to dig into the dangers of these false solutions and learn how NGOs and activists can push back. 🗓️ Monday, 13 October 🕒 15–17 CEST Register here & share widely 👇 us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi... 2/

🤔 Wondering how to recognise a false solution when you see one? This time in our Pulling Back the Curtain webinar series, we’ll explore some of the most common so-called land-based solutions—like carbon and #biodiversity offsets, #carbonfarming, and #biochar. 👉 us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi... 1/

Jetzt mit uns Deutschlands größtes #Holzkraftwerk stoppen - in unter einer Minute! In Stade werden #Umweltbelastung und #Emissionen als grüne Energie verkauft. Nicht #cool? Dann unterschreibe jetzt unseren #Protest: www.robinwood.de/holzkraftwer...

This is utterly horrific. Literally blocking the ability of people to object to nature being trashed and destroyed. What a lovely govt we have!! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

📢FOI in the News! The government is considering leaving the Aarhus Convention, which allows groups to judicially review environmentally damaging proposals without massive costs if they lose. www.theguardian.com/politics/202... #Aarhus #EIR #informationrights #transparency

Awful. It's also about access to environmental information, btw., such as getting information about levels of local pollution. Right now, with the UK being in the convention, challenges can only be brought if there's a credible argument of legal flaws in a decision. Now, even that right is at risk.

Shocking to read that the government is considering the option of withdrawing from the Aarhus Convention, with grants basic rights to environmental information and justice and which has been ratified by almost all European and Central Asian countries.

An insatiable thirst for cheap, ready-to-build furniture has been linked to illegal logging of protected areas and assassinations of forest defenders. atmos.earth/political-la...

🚨 Attack on North Sumatra's indigenous community linked to pulp & paper giant APRIL ❌ We must not admit these communities to be terrorised and assaulted by these companies private security forces. 👉 Read the entire story here: environmentalpaper.org/2025/09/indi...

It is likely no coincidence that yesterday the EU announced a Free Trade Deal with Indonesia... ...And today EU Environment Commissioner Jessica Roswall announces at AGCO that there will be yet another one-year delay to the EU Deforestation Regulation.

Despite the promises of governments of all colors, and relentless propaganda from the intensive farm lobby, the collapse of nature continues steadily. The collapse of farmland birds is just a reflection of a self destructive farming system. We can change, if we wanted.

EP committees just rejected the proposed EU #forests monitoring law. Great victory for the nihilistic clear-cuts forestry lobby. With climate change hammering our forests we desperately need comparable data. But the Trumpian logic is that if you don't measure problems they will disappear.

🤩 Hundreds of people joined the anti-deregulation march yesterday 🤩 Including @larawolters.bsky.social ⬇️ “Deregulation is not going to solve the problems [...] If we are serious about making Europe more robust, more future-proof, then this is not the way to do it" euobserver.com/EU%20&%20the...

AI is driving a surge in data centres' hunger for power. But whether that new demand is met with existing renewables or fossil fuels, it's unsustainable. Listen to @jillmcardle.bsky.social during @biofuelwatch.bsky.social's webinar on AI tomorrow, sign up 👇 actionnetwork.org/events/the-e...

Meanwhile the #EUDR – which can rid EU supply chains of dirty soy – is under threat once again EU policymakers should be focused on implementing the law, not picking it to pieces at the demand of industry lobbyists 🔗 www.earthsight.org.uk/news/a-year-...

🚨 Brussels is backtracking - again! @ec.europa.eu seeks another delay to the #EUDR, and every second means more forest lost to satisfy European consumption. The EU Parliament & Council MUST reject this proposal and implement the law by the end of 2025. 🔗 www.earthsight.org.uk/news/eudr-de...

An absolutely appalling announcement that will cause grave harm to forests 😠 #EUDR

😐 Bad news: EU anti-deforestation law delayed once again #EUDR 🤩 Good news: you can protest against it right away Guess we weren’t loud enough. Let’s make sure the European Parliament and Member States hear us 📢 The time to protest ➕ demand vital protections for the environment is NOW.

Das Verhalten der Kommission ist nicht nur peinlich, sondern auch einfach verantwortungslos. #EUDR www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

Article in #Geoengineering Monitor by @biofuelwatch.bsky.social and @gfc-forest.bsky.social for the Int'l Day Against Tree Plantations. So-called "Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR)" (aka geoengineering) is being used to greenwash destructive Industrial eucalyptus plantations, esp in Latin America.

😢 How are flights so much cheaper than trains? Indeed, why are we forced to pick between cheap & polluting and expensive & sustainable? Well @greenpeace.eu has the answer: subsidies and MASSIVE tax breaks.

Two important webinars this Thu: First, about environmental impacts of AI data centres and how Drax wants to profit from them: actionnetwork.org/events/the-e...? Then about the Sustainable Biomass Program, used by Drax, RWE and others to greenwash forest destruction: forourclimate.org/events/35

This Thursday: Please register now to find out and discuss the impacts of mega-sized AI data centres and how Drax wants to profit from them:

New article co-authored by our colleague @vozsilvestre.bsky.social illustrates how the push for "Carbon Dioxide Removal" is greenwashing highly destructive monoculture tree plantations: www.geoengineeringmonitor.org/carbon-dioxi... Published by @geoengmon.bsky.social #CDR

In case anyone still doesn't know: Drax gets *perverse* subsidies. It's greenwashed as sustainable yet is anything but: www.clientearth.org/projects/the... And it wants more subsidies! See webinar hosted this Thursday by the excellent @biofuelwatch.bsky.social: actionnetwork.org/events/the-e...

Another dreadful climate-wrecking decision by UK government. It will mean 100,000 more flights a year at a time when we urgently need to reduce air travel and preferably go #flightfree #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

👏Great news. This coal power station is now closed for good and won't be converted to #biomass.

Great new video about the #bioeconomy by Fern: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYjg... . It illustrates the massive difference between using wood for building insulation compared to burning it in terms of climate impacts, air pollution and pressure on forests.
