Heel slecht nieuws Trumoiaans agressief bedrijf dat er de hand niet voor omdraait milieuorganisaties te vervolgen Begrijp niet hoe die club hier de boel kan opkopen

At today’s symposium on the European chemicals regulation (REACH) - where WECF brings civil society perspective - we were impressed by the clear messages from ilona of @chemtrusteurope.bsky.social why #REACH needs to be improved to fullfil its objective of protecting our #health and #environment

With #GJCS award winner Delali Adedje #Youkoumi Togo and pan-African partner FEMNET at the 4th Feminist Foreign Policy #FFP4 #Paris discussing with ministers and ambassadors on intersectional policies that ensure equal rights, eg also to women’s control over resources and #land in #SheaButter sector

Day 2 of ministerial conference Feminist Foreign Policy #FFP4 kicked of with a fascinating panel on how research can advance feminist policies: need the statistics as much as the stories… and transparency who is behind it, as anti-rights groups also pushing their ‘peer reviewed’ data. #Holdtheline

Especially in times of backlash against equal rights for all it is so important to put our heads together with feminists from civil society, science, government, United Nations and community leaders at the ´IN’ 4th Feminist Foreign Policy conference #FFP4 #Paris and our own ´OFF’ activist event! :)

Everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to call home. 🏡 That is why some of our colleagues were in Brussels at the stunt auction outside of the European Parliament to call on the EU Policymakers not to sell people’s right to housing. 📢

Delali Adeje, entrepreneur and feminist climate leader from Togo, shares her gender just climate solutions #GJCS work with the participants at the civil society feminist forum to the #FFP4 #Paris: ‘10 million women in Shea Butter sector can replicate 100% solar energy and circular biogas from waste’

Continuing Feminist analysis today #FFP4 #Paris where Feminist Foreign Policy Collab presents its report on feminist funding: we are looking at a huge fall of $56 billion p/a in development cooperation (only fraction for gender), need strategies to protect at least that share going to women’s rights

"Als gezondheid werkelijk het kompas is, kan zwijgen over gif geen optie zijn." Onze projectcoördinator milieu en gifvrije toekomst legt het je allemaal uit in haar artikel in Joop. Heb jij het al gelezen? www.bnnvara.nl/joop/artikel...

Today, the European Parliament will vote on the Omnibus I proposal. And behind this vote lies a massive lobby campaign by ExxonMobil, our investigation reveals. This is outrageous. The EU cannot let those causing the crisis write the rules to get out of it. www.somo.nl/how-big-oil-...

Speaking for WECF at the #GlobalGateway Forum, I called for full transparency: which actors will pay in case of pollution & health impacts? Who cleans up (toxic) tailings and waste? What access to justice and reparation for local women and communities are ensured and who will carry the debt burden?

The #GlobalGateway investments must prove their value by applying the highest European standards of environmental protection and social responsibility — in every project, in every community" said WECF partner Kaisha Atakhanova of ARGO Kazakhstan at press meeting in Brussels this week.

We are at the #GlobalGateway Forum, now being opened by #EU president Ursula von der Leyen, speaking to Heads of State, Ministers, Business reps and a handful of CSOs: she insists that in time of geopolitical tensions, transactionalism and isolation it is essential Europe invests in partnerships

#GlobalGateway EU investment projects should apply highest standards #humanrights, #gender equality #environmental protection, transparency & #accountability: too often investors polluted local communities’ lands & water but got away with it: great insights from partner Kaisha, ARGO net Central Asia

Our ecofeminist partner from CSO ARGO network Central Asia spoke today at Eurodad/CONCORD’s event to inform European press and policy makers on Global Gateway’s impacts on the ground in advance of the High Level #GG Forum this week link.europa.eu/Fdr74d

1 year after #CBDCOP16 the Summit of Women Biodiversity Defenders in #Cali #Colombia was a great success with 500 women over 2 days! We are glad we could share our congrats and inputs!

🌱In aanloop van de COP30 in Brazilië, stelde WO=MEN, samen met 15 andere organisaties, gezamenlijke prioriteiten op in een position-paper om klimaatrechtvaardigheid te waarborgen. Lees alle informatie en de paper via onze website: bit.ly/3VIwcdy #COP30 #climatejustice #genderequality #womensrights

BBB/VVD verbranden 2 miljard belastinggeld aan sjoemelende Indiase multinational. Zo kan Tata Steel nog lang doorgaan met uitstoten van kankerverwekkende stoffen én stikstof. Dramatisch voor omwonenden en natuur, niet uit te leggen aan boeren en belastingbetaler.

Wist je dat 🍓 Aardbeien = gifkoploper! Ze staan op 2 (meeste residu) 🔴 96% bevat pesticiden 🔴 67% bevat PFAS (o.a. fluopyram) 🔴 Gem. 3,7 pesticiden/bakje, max 12! 🔴 Tot 1,9 mg/kg – babyvoedingnorm = 0,01 💡 Kies biologisch, zeker voor kinderen. 👉 www.eetwijzer.nl #pesticiden #aardbeien #biologisch

PFAS-adviseur van de Europese toezichthouder op gevaarlijke stoffen blijkt ook te werken voor de industrie. Dit maakt nog eens duidelijk hoe belangrijk een transparant lobbyregister is. Zowel in Europa als in Nederland.

🚨 Big water news from Brussels: EU institutions have just struck a deal on updated water pollution rules. It includes tougher standards for PFAS, pesticides like glyphosate, and pharmaceutical pollution - but there's a catch. The deal delays action until 2039… Press release in comments ⬇️

🌊 The EU institutions have reached an agreement on water pollution. It has good elements, but action is delayed by EU red tape. Clean water will be for our children or grandchildren. Member States have until 2039 or even 2045 to meet the new criteria. www.pan-europe.info/press-releas...

A coalition of governments from Europe, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean will join forces to warn that countries most affected by climate change will be left behind in the green energy transition without new funding instruments.

Morgen naar Brussel voor debat over hoe #ISDS ingrijpt op EU-beleid rond sancties, veiligheid, klimaat & milieu. Geweldig dat @g-b-b.bsky.social de stem van Groningers laat horen die door #Shell & #ExxonMobil zijn getroffen 💪 @somoamsterdam.bsky.social groninger-bodem-beweging.nl/nieuws/gbb-n...

🗨️🇪🇺 Today @bjverbeek.bsky.social (SOMO) and Coert Fossen (Groninger Bodem Beweging) are highlighting this outreageous case at the EU Parliament and joining MEP @annacavazzini.bsky.social and others to discuss how to protect public-interest policies from investor lawsuits. @g-b-b.bsky.social (2/2)

The Netherlands is being sued by Shell and ExxonMobil for lost profits after shutting down a harmful gas field.🏭☣️ Sounds surreal? Yet, it’s happening, through a completely legal mechanism called Investor-State Dispute Settlement. More about the Groningen case: www.somo.nl/aftershock-i... (1/2)

78% of Europeans want more EU level action to tackle water pollution, and 92% want companies to pay for the pollution they cause ➡️ europa.eu/eurobaromete...

Over 600 scientists have signed this joint statement calling for an update of the EU's water pollution standards ➡️ www.fba.org.uk/fba-voice/sc...

💧 Toxic water at the EU Parliament today wasn’t just a stunt - it was a warning As trilogue talks draw to an end, EU lawmakers must stand firm: ⚠️ No more loopholes ⏰ No more delay 🌍 Protect our rivers, our health, and our future Pollution is real. Action must be too. Let us know what you think⬇️

3/3 ... Every delay is not just negligence; it is a betrayal of human & environmental rights. Urgent action is needed to end this unethical double standard," said Angeliki Lyssimachou from PAN Europe (the organisation that coordinates the End Toxic Pesticide Trade Coalition).

2/3 "These exports include pesticides known to cause brain damage in children, reproductive harm & massive 🐝 losses. Local communities & ecosystems are paying the price, but also European farmers & consumers, as these pesticides return to Europe as residues in imported food...

1/3 🧵 As this new report by @publiceye.ch reveals, the @ec.europa.eu’s failure to act, due to pressure from the #pesticide industry giants and their profits, has allowed Europe’s toxic trade to grow larger than ever. www.publiceye.ch/en/topics/pe...

Trump confuses correlation (more drowning deaths & icecream sales) and causation (with hot weather we swim & eat more icecream) when stating parecetamol was cause of autism… which is false. True is when already in bad health - incl. from #pollution (need 4 painkillers) mothers impact health of child
