⚠️A "bubbling lake" of toxic soup. 1.6m+ tonnes of buried waste.⚠️ @rdeanblackwood.bsky.social's description of the derelict Mobuoy site is chilling. Listen back & you'll see why politicians are joining the community's call for a #PublicInquiry @danielashby.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

👏 TRUST 👏 THE 👏 SCIENCE 👏 Amid political discussions on weakening the 2040 climate target with 'flexibility' options - @esabcc.bsky.social has today stood up for science. @caneurope.org's @harmeling.bsky.social reacts:

See our reaction to the EU Commission's formal assessment of Ireland's National Energy and Climate Plan ✍️📰 ⚠️A stark and urgent warning about the widening gap between Ireland's climate commitments and actual delivery. www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

📉 Climate ambition must be matched by climate action. Without solid financing & policy follow-through, National Energy and Climate Plans will stay on paper. Our reaction to European Commission's own assessment of #EUNECP (climate plans): caneurope.org/necps-stronger-implementation-ec-assessment/

Later this year the Commission is set to propose a Democracy Shield, aiming to address the most severe risks to democracy in the EU and build on the work already done under the European Democracy Action Plan and the Defence of Democracy Package.

The EU Democracy Shield is a chance to defend democracy under threat — and to build one that's future-proof. With broad support from environmental and democracy focused organisations, the Democracy for Transition Coalition lays out its position 👉 eeb.org/library/eu-d...

🗣️Our key asks for Ireland's upcoming Social Climate Plan 🛣️ EJNI have developed six key priorities which we believe are important to the Irish context and must be included in the #SCP to ensure it's fit for purpose. Read here ⬇️ ejni.net/wp-content/u...

EJNI co-signed a letter urging leaders on both sides of the channel to include closer environmental cooperation as part of reset discussions at the EU-UK summit 🌱 Read the letter here ✉️ eeb.org/wp-content/u...

NECPs are not just regulatory reporting exercises mandated by EU law - they are Europe's bridge between climate targets and real-world change 🌉🎯🌎🤝 In November 2024, EJNI submitted a complaint to the EU Commission detailing breaches of union law by Ireland with regards to its updated NECP.

✨ New Report ✨ The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage has opened a public consultation on the Transboundary Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the Dalradian Gold Mine Project Development, located in Co.Tyrone in the Sperrin Mountains. Deadline ⏰ 23rd April 5pm

The EU must lead with real domestic #ClimateAction, not accounting tricks ✊🌱 💪 No loopholes 💪 No offsets 💪 Real action, here in Europe Read more on 2040 demands from the Coalition for Higher Ambition: caneurope.org/hac-2040-0325/ #2040Target

Why is this a problem? 👇 ⚠️ Creates uncertainty on real EU-wide emission cuts ⚠️ Undermines already weak domestic ambition ⚠️ Risks low-quality, non-additional credits ⚠️ Diverts green investment away from Europe ⚠️ Ignores @esabcc.bsky.social & Commission’s own assessments

Media reports suggest @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu may allow international offsets in the EU’s 2040 climate targets. This would be a major & dangerous u-turn from current EU climate policy. 🔗 www.politico.eu/article/eu-e... #2040Target #GreenDeal
