The EU banned many pesticides because they're toxic, yet European corporations keeps exporting them. 🌍 From Brazil to India, Bangladesh to Uganda, people are sending them back to Brussels 🎞️👇 #ReturnToSender #BanToxicExports

🚨 The EU Ombudswoman confirms it: the Commission committed maladministration on #Omnibus I. Rushed, opaque, corporate-driven lawmaking is not acceptable. With more Omnibus packages coming, the message is clear: the EU cannot dismantle rights behind closed doors corporatejustice.org/news/joint-p...

BAM 💥 Here's #COP30 outcome! 🏆We got Belém Action Mechanism for Global Just Transition - a big victory! But: ❌No justice package ❌No roadmap to transition away from fossil fuels ❌Weak adaptation finance ❌No credible response to NDC ambition gap ❌‘Shuttle diplomacy’ & lack of transparent updates

🚨 NEW: More than 1,600 fossil fuel lobbyists on the ground in Brazil for U.N. climate talks. The Philippines is facing devastating typhoons. Jamaica is still reeling from Hurricane Melissa. But it’s #BigPolluters that have direct access to #COP30. kickbigpollutersout.org/Release-Kick...

Not again!? 84 fossil fuel lobbyists were brought by EU countries to #COP30 😤 See the detailed results of the research done 👇 fossilfreepolitics.org/news/eu-brin... It is time to free politics from the influence of the fossil fuel industry 🔥 #FossilFreePolitics #FossilFreeEU #KickBigPollutersOut
