Week two at #COP30, the EU is asking everyone to step up climate action. But if it won’t step up on fairness – more support for those who did least to cause the crisis – its calls will ring hollow. No fair share, no real Paris ambition.

#COP30 is happening right now in the Amazon, home to Indigenous communities on the sharp end of corporate abuses. ActionAid Brasil hosted a #JustTransition event at looking at how agribusiness, mining and energy projects are risking lives of women and girls. www.actionaid.org.uk/publications...
