⚖️ Ce jeudi 25 juin, en pleine vague de chaleur, le jugement dans l’affaire TotalEnergies est tombé : le géant pétro-gazier a été condamné pour manquement à son devoir de vigilance. Lire notre communiqué 👉 www.asso-sherpa.org/totalenergie...

Hate speech has no place in the European Parliament - or anywhere else. We join +60 organisations in calling on Roberta Metsola @president.europarl.europa.eu to restore the respect of human rights and dignity. To act strongly against the normalisation of discriminatory conduct and rhetoric. 👇

Talking about the need for shade and fresh air these days? 🌳💧 If this second #heatwave tells us anything it is the need for forests and thriving biodiversity that offers us respite. Find a shady tree, open this post on your phone and be inspired by the Friends of the Earth network!

NEW | The EU’s battery fleet is set to QUADRUPLE from 43 GW in 2025 to 178 GW by 2030 🔋 As every country sees growth in battery capacity, the EU can absorb far more wind and solar power and reduce its reliance on gas for grid balancing. The full clean flex story below👇 🧵 1/6

This is a great piece by our friends at caneurope.org showing exactly how the fossil fuel industry uses the most recent energy crisis in their favour and why we can not let them 🔥 The EU must reduce its fossil fuel dependency and transition to a more secure and affordable energy system. ⬇️

The EU and big business want access to lithium, copper, cobalt, and much more. 🌍 But do you know who is bearing the costs of this? Well.. communities, mainly in the Global South, who are rarely given a real say over mining projects on their own land. ⛏️❌

Protecting the environment and our collective well-being is a marathon and not a sprint. Last year was a case in point! Take a look at these rock-solid 🪨 wins by our members across Europe ⬇️ #AnnualReview #ImpactReport

📢BREAKING NEWS: the 🇪🇺 Parliament just scrapped basic rights for consumers, breeders, farmers, the food sector. A majority led by @eppgroup.bsky.social & far-right chose profits for a few biotech giants over our right to know what we grow, buy, eat. Over safety, over nature. Our full reaction 👇

It has been a turbulent year with more fascism, attacks on civil society, and destruction of environmental and human rights protections BUT It has also been a great opportunity to come together and sow the seeds for a brighter future Full picture over here ⬇️ friendsoftheearth.eu/publication/...

It's rare that you get to say "told you so", and rarer still that you get to say it about something positive In 2015, some laughed at Greenpeace projections of how much solar power there would be by 2025 10 years later... Greenpeace: on the money 🎯 International Energy Agency: way, WAY off

S E R I O U S L Y⁉️ This does not make any sense: ❌ horrendous plan for the climate AND this type of project will takes ages to develop so it will do nothing in alleviating the current energy crisis 🫥 The @ec.europa.eu must keep it's foot down and keep the ban in place❗Share if you agree.

Every food system/climate/animal rights/health advocate and activist who feels a bit down in the current gloomy political climate: please read this 👇 Change can happen - and it *will* if we keep fighting together. 💪

Job alert x2 from our Irish member! 🇮🇪👇

🎉 Historic news from Denmark - and proof that change can happen when people organise 😉 After years of campaigning, the new government just committed to reshaping its farming system, away from its current intensive & polluting model. How? 🧵

This perfectly shows the absurdity of #ISDS: a system that lets foreign investors sue governments in business-friendly tribunals for democratically-made decisions ⏭️ We got the EU to #ExitECT because of it. Now me must get the EU & Member States to remove ISDS from all of their investment treaties

“The company has no permit from us to build its lithium mine on our ground.” What the European Commission calls “Strategic projects” is an actual threat to people’s water, land and culture. We talked to a local activist in Galicia, Spain: friendsoftheearth.eu/news/galicia...

I am proud to be a Fossil Free MEP. I pledged to keep my distance from fossil fuel lobbying. In fact, I actually hardly even interact with them. I urge my colleagues to do the same: fossilfreepolitics.org/mep-pledge/ @fossilfreeeu.bsky.social @corporateeurope.org @foeeurope.bsky.social

One Commissioner. 184 meetings. 182 with business groups. The other 2? Probably his mum and his dog. Our new podcast ep exposes the corporate capture driving the EU's deregulation frenzy,and it's worse than you think. W/ @kennethhaar.bsky.social &Rachel Tansey 🎙️ corporateeurope.org/en/2026/05/1...

Those were the days when “ceasefire” meant “cease the fire” 😭

THEY WANT US SILENT. We’re turning up the volume 🔊 Corporate bullies are using predatory lawsuits called SLAPPs in an attempt to silence anyone who speaks out for the public good. We can’t stay silent. Power belongs to the people. Watch, save & share ✊ 🔗 timetoresist.org #SLAPPsuit #TimeToResist

THEY WANT TO SILENCE YOU 🗣️ Speaking out is scary, but the cost of staying quiet is even higher. #SLAPPsuit #TimeToResist

Us frying under this heat dome causing record temperatures 12-16°C above seasonal averages. Shoutout to fossil fuel corporations for fueling the #climatecrisis while cashing the checks.

Those who destroy nature attack its defenders. Corporations continuously rely on violence to exploit new territories at the expense of human rights. In this opinion piece, Nele Marien makes the case for the need for a legally #BindingTreaty on corporations. Read here: www.foei.org/those-who-de...

Ecuador must not pay Chevron ❌ For over 30 years, Ecuadorian communities have been fighting Chevron (formerly Texaco) for polluting and appropriating their land. On this Anti-Chevron Day, we stand together with our international community to demand justice for the victims of big polluters.

A welcome reality check on the EU’s crusade to get rid of the protections for our health, the environment and workers. ⬇️ It highlights how it is all about pace and action whilst disregarding the consequences for our environment, health and safety. We need #RulesToProtect us, not #Deregulation

🟢 Announcing new speakers for this year's Summer School of Political Ecology! Seven experts will come together under this year's title, 'The Political Ecology of Self-sufficiency', to explore whether self-sufficiency is it a useful tool for fighting the dominant paradigm of globalization...

🚀Just launched: THE NEW GEOPOLITICS OF FOOD💥 Food prices & hunger are rising. Crisis after crisis exposes how fragile our global food systems have become. But governments have tools to stabilise markets & reduce vulnerability. We call it resilient self-reliance. 📘 ipes-food.org/report/the-n...

Why are environmental laws being attacked⁉️ 1. @ec.europa.eu has invited dirty industries to shape its plans 2. companies want to fast-track polluting projects ➕ public money to build them 🤯👀 Learn more in @corporateeurope.org's new report ⬇️ corporateeurope.org/en/2026/05/permission-pollute

🚨 NEW REPORT: EU handing industry #Permission2Pollute 🚨 At the request of oil&gas, mining + BigTech lobbyists, the Commission is ripping up permitting rules to fast-track polluting projects like pipelines, mines + data centres. Read more corporateeurope.org/en/2026/05/permission-pollute 👇 🧵 1/6

🐔 Would you believe a chicken 'farm' can produce more waste than the entire city of London? 🚱 Well, that’s reality in Ukraine, where the largest factory farm in Europe produces over 411,000 tonnes of manure, endangering the health of local residents by polluting their water supplies. ▶️⤵️

It’s #OvershootDay again for Europe 🌍 We are in the red because industries are gobbling up more natural resources than we actually have. Yet, rather than reducing our dependency on raw materials, our economies remain founded on unsustainable extractivism.

Today is International Workers' Day. The day the 🇪🇺 Commission chose to provisionally apply #EUMercosur, a deal that undermines workers both in Europe & South America, violates labour rights, puts wages down and jobs at risk. It benefits big (polluting) business, not workers. A slap in their face.

We marched through Santa Marta, Colombia, to demand a Feminist and Just Energy Transition, alongside hundreds of people from across movements from around the world We're calling for an end to imperialism, all systems of oppression and internationalist solidarity for #ClimateJustice

The only way out of today's environmental and social crises is through an anti-imperialist, feminist, and just energy transition. We've wrapped up the People's Summit and First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels in Santa Marta, but the struggle continues for a #JustTransition

The EU #LivestockStrategy will shape the future of farming. An opportunity for @ec.europa.eu to: 🧑‍🌾 support farmers in transition 🌍 cut pollution 🐄 end factory farming It's time for fair incomes, better animal welfare, healthier food, and a system that protects nature - the foundation of farming ⤵️

With the global push to phase out fossil fuels gaining momentum, @milieudefensie.bsky.social & @wy4cj.bsky.social make the case: no just transition without corporate climate accountability. Read their important briefing 👉 en.milieudefensie.nl/news/buildin...

"Investor–State Dispute Settlement risks locking in fossil fuel dependence by enabling corporations to sue states for their climate policies. If governments can be sued for choosing real climate solutions, whose future are we really protecting?" - Frances Verkamp @foeeurope.bsky.social

The ‘One Europe, One Market’ roadmap was signed - the EU's deregulation agenda has hit another milestone. Ursula von der Leyen seems hellbent on skipping democratic processes once again in order to rush this roadmap through. Read our reaction 👉 friendsoftheearth.eu/press-releas...

As the 1st Conference on Transitioning Away From Fossil Fuels is about to start, a major yet little-known blocker needs attention: #ISDS ISDS lets big polluters sue states over climate action, sabotaging the just transition we need. +300 organisations agree: it's a threat to our collective future👇

We condemn US-led #imperialism, including military aggression against #Iran, #Venezuela, #Lebanon, the illegal blockade of #Cuba and the Israeli-US-led genocide in #Palestine. We call for peace! Read our statement on this global existential threat👇 www.foei.org/foe-internat...

No one should be punished for defending people’s rights and the environment. We strongly condemn the continuing injustice to youth activists who speak out against the climate wrecking EACOP project in Uganda. www.monitor.co.ug/uganda/news/... @ygcug.bsky.social

🚨 EU ministers just agreed to take away farmers' & consumers’ right to choose what they grow in their fields & eat! No more labelling, no more safety checks for #newGMOs. Despite the food industry’s & citizens’ demand to keep their right to know about all generations of GMOs. Our full reaction 👇

🤯 Attacking the EU Methane Regulation in the midst of an energy crisis is a dangerous distraction. The real risk is dependence on fossil fuel imports, not regulatory requirements. Find out why below ⬇️ caneurope.org/publications...
