💸 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

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.
