To align with 1.5 temperature limit, the EU must step up climate ambition, both pre and post 2030. To do so, the EU must ensure that policy frameworks provide predictability, credibility and environmental integrity. Read more in CAN Europe's latest position paper: caneurope.org/publications...

The European Commission unveiled its tax package proposal to 'simplify' tax rules across the EU. ⁉️ Result? Big companies get richer. Expect more cuts in public budgets 🛢️ Tax breaks benefit fossil fuel companies like any other 🤑 Bigger loopholes & no transparency on the wealth of the ultra-rich

Today the LIFE Plan4Climate project is launching a new briefing on the upcoming revision of the EU Governance Regulation📄 It provides technical feedback from national NECPs experts from 13 EU Member States on policy options. Read the full briefing here👇 plan4climate.caneurope.org/what-do-futu...

📉 Ten years from now, fossil gas could be disappearing from Europe’s energy system, but only if the EU avoids replacing one dependency with another and introduces binding gas demand reduction targets. 👉 Check CAN Europe's brief on the revision of the Energy Security Framework: shorturl.at/GraPU

International support for a Fossil Fuel Treaty to manage a just transition is stronger than ever before. ⚡️

We are #hiring! CAN Europe is looking for a Finance Officer - someone ideally passionate about climate action & number - crunching! The role will be based in Brussels on a hybrid basis. ✍ Deadline for applying: 16th August 2026 Details can be found here👇 can-europe.jobtoolz.com/en/finance-o...

🔥 Heatwaves are becoming more frequent and intense across Europe. Yet many of our homes are not designed to cope with rising temperatures. In Barcelona, La Borda shows how community-led housing can combine affordability, participation and environmental responsibility. 1/4🧵👇 #BuildBetterLives

Fossil gas is never a green solution. ❌ Greenwashing cannot keep us tied to fossil fuels. The way to shield consumers from energy price crises is to end fossil fuel dependence and accelerate a fair, efficient, electrified energy system powered by renewables.

The European Council has casted more uncertainty over the EU's future investment capacity. As negotiations on the EU’s long-term budget for 2028-2034 enter a decisive phase, CAN Europe urges for more investment in the EU's climate, nature and resilience objectives. caneurope.org/news/a-hollo...

Bonn climate talks exposed key delivery tests governments must meet by #COP31. Progress on a Just Transition Mechanism is welcome, but finance, mitigation and the transition away from fossil fuels remain blocked by weak political will. Now governments must deliver: caneurope.org/news/sb64/

🚨 EU leaders meet this week to discuss the EU’s next long-term budget. 🌱 We call for a budget that serves European citizens, not fossil fuel regimes. Directors of @caneurope.org @birdlifeeurope.bsky.social @transportenvironment.org @eeb.org @wwf.eu write at @sustainableviews.bsky.social ⬇️

🚨 The European Parliament just passed the EU-US trade deal, marking a capitulation to US pressure and US energy dominance agenda. By deepening its ties with the US, the EU risks locking itself into a new fossil gas dependency, at the moment it needs a clear gas exit strategy. Read our reaction 👇

Climate action should not come with threats of million-euro legal claims. At the Bonn climate talks, governments & experts discussed how ISDS system continues to delay & weaken the transition away from fossil fuels. The solution is clear: no new ISDS agreements, and cancelling existing ones.

💰 Crunchtime for the EU's next long-term budget, aka MFF 2028-2034 ➡️ CAN Europe calls for a substantial increase in the budget size & for the woefully insufficient green mainstreaming target. ⚡EU leaders must accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels, including a strong and predictable ETS.

It's not only private jets and outsized carbon emissions, the investments of the super rich are also causing massive climate damage. Great piece on Climate Debt and why we need to #TaxTheSuperRich from @fionaharvey.bsky.social

In Bonn this week, climate activists and members of the press are facing unprecedented barriers to one of the most important conferences of the year. Restricting spaces for civil society risks weakening accountability precisely when Parties should be rebuilding trust in multilateral climate action.

Last night, the UN welcomed the ICJ rulings - a landmark moment for climate justice. This is a major turning point of climate accountability, and will reinforce States’ legal obligations to prevent further climate harm. @chiaramartinelli.bsky.social reacts:

🔮Myth #2: "We all benefit from colossal fossil fuel profits" 💸Reality: the top 10%, and especially the top 1%, of the richest people capture the lion’s share of these profits. While the majority bears the costs. ➡️We've debunked 12 myths on taxing fossil fuel profits, read them now!

Governments will vote today at the UN General Assembly on how to take the ICJ's Advisory Opinion forward and how it could influence legally binding climate obligations. Endorsing the opinion provides clarity for courts, communities and policymakers worldwide! #UNGA #ICJAO

Tomorrow the UN General Assembly will vote on a crucial resolution that follows up on the International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion on Climate. Our Head of Climate @harmeling.bsky.social calls for EU member states to support the resolution:

🚨NEW network-wide position paper on ETS🚨 Upcoming ETS review is a critical moment to strengthen - not dilute - the system. Debate continues heated. ETS must remain as a cornerstone of EU climate & industrial policy. Not only for climate imperative, but for economic resilience and energy security.

Civil society and industry are joining forces to call on EU leaders to deliver a future-proof post-2030 EU energy framework⚡ Lets build on the success of the EU’s 2030 energy framework by setting binding renewable energy and energy efficiency targets for beyond 2030 caneurope.org/campaigns/fu...

Renewable Acceleration Areas (RAAs) are key to a faster and fairer energy transition ⚡ CAN Europe and @eeb.org have produced a new tracker that provides an overview of the progress that 12 Member States have made in their designation of RAAs. Check it out below👇 caneurope.org/publications...

💸 Fossil fuel companies are banking on the crisis - once again! ✅ Solution is there: An EU-wide tax on their colossal profits. A fair and effective way to lower our energy bills & prep for future crises. 💡 BUT... The opponents are hiding behind myths they came up with to stop it. We debunked them.

Today is #internationalWorkersDay - but also the day the 🇪🇺 Commission chose to provisionally apply #EUMercosur deal. The deal is not only climate-wrecking but our new economic study also shows a disastrous impact on workers, shifting huge amounts away from wages to companies’ profits.

📢 This #InternationalWorkersDay: no just transition in housing without workers. Ensuring decent, affordable and energy-efficient homes for all must also mean ensuring the rights, safety and dignity of the workers making that transition possible. 1/5🧵👇 🔗https://shorturl.at/s9ExH #BuildBetterLives

1.5 years after the #EUMethaneRegulation was adopted, the first steps are underway across Europe. But pressure to weaken it is mounting, just when strong implementation is crucial. Civil society is monitoring. And we want you in the room. 👉 Join us on May 12 in Brussels securingch4nge.rsvpify.com

Santa Marta marks a tipping point in global climate diplomacy, signalling that a #FossilFreeFuture is a central political reality Against a backdrop of geopolitical instability the conference proved that fossil fuel dependence is not only a climate risk, but a core economic & security vulnerability

The debate around the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) is too often reduced to political slogans. That’s why it matters to explain clearly what the ETS is – and what it is not. Kuba Gogolewski of Mission Possible breaks it down through the Polish example 👉 eastflank.eu/energy-and-c...

The #SantaMartaConference comes at a decisive geopolitical moment and for Europe - phasing out fossil-fuels is a question of security, resilience and long-term prosperity. The EU has opportunity: end its own fossil fuel dependence and actively contribute to shaping of a global transition framework

🚨EU–Mercosur deal is set to enter provisional application on 1 May. 💡NEW independent economic assessment, done by former UNCTAD economists, challenges the economic case behind the deal. ➡️Conclusion is clear: with real-world economic dynamics, projected GDP gains disappear & may even turn negative.
