🚨 The European Parliament is about to start debating a law that would harm millions across Europe. With 250+ groups we call on EU lawmakers to reject it.

Ten years after Paris, the EU’s climate credibility is on the line. Equity isn’t moral idealism — it’s the political realism that made Paris possible. At #COP30 in Belém, 🇪🇺must prove it still believes in that vision — and make it work for everyone 🔗 actionaid.org/opinions/202...

🇪🇺 Just days before #COP30, EU climate ministers agreed a 2040 target of –90 % vs 1990 levels — but with loopholes allowing up to 10 % offsets abroad. That means Europe will only cut ~85 % at home, paying others to decarbonise on its behalf.

Only 2.8% of #ClimateFinance supports a #JustTransition — that’s $630M out of $22.7B. It is not good enough. Our new report sets out how finance can actually protect jobs, livelihoods and communities for a just transition.

🔔 Coming 4 Nov. Our new flagship report ‘Climate Finance for a Just Transition: How the Finance Flows’, drops with the data and solutions to move money where it matters: people, jobs and communities. Watch this space. #FundOurFuture #JustTransition #ClimateFinance #JustTransitionRising

As winter nears, pregnant women and newborns in Gaza face deadly conditions due to lack of clean water, food, and warmth. “We demand immediate, unfettered humanitarian access to deliver food, clean water, shelter, and medical supplies,” says Jamil Sawalmeh, Country Director of ActionAid Palestine.

👏 The @europarl.europa.eu just voted for more ambition, justice & equity in international climate action! Cross-party cooperation on this #COP30 resolution shows how constructive forces can unite for climate ambition, sidelining far-right denialists. ❝❞ @harmeling.bsky.social reacts:

France is hosting the 4th Ministerial Conference on Feminist Diplomacy on Oct. 22-23. In this op-ed, however, @actionaidfr.bsky.social reminds that behind its rhetoric on feminist diplomacy, the French government continues to pursue policies that harm women globally:

10 years after Paris — Europe’s biggest diplomatic win — EU risks showing up at #COP30 with words, not leadership. Europe can still act: → Support a Just Transition Mechanism → Back tripling adaptation finance by 2030 Not new ambitions — just what’s needed for credibility! tinyurl.com/ys2eknef

Yesterday, the EU Foreign Affairs Council has met and yet again it has failed to act on suspending Israel’s preferential trade agreement, which is a betrayal of the EU’s own principles and commitments to human rights and international law. (1/2)

One day to go! ⏰ Tomorrow, the #AidWatch 2025 report launches, marking 20 years of tracking and advocating for effective ODA. 👁️ Keep and eye out for our 10 key recommendations to reform ODA governance, restore credibility, and put ODA back on track to deliver real impact.

️Ending short-sightedness, restoring ODA’s purpose: #AidWatch 2025 launches on 22 October! For 20 years, ODA has advanced health and education, but cuts, misreporting and donor self-interest now threaten its impact. We need bold reforms to realign ODA with its core purpose. Stay tuned!

Europe must stand on the right side of history and ensure its core values and commitments translate into concrete action for accountability, justice and the protection of Palestinian rights and self-determination. (1/2)

As the EU debates its external policies, it must ensure that human rights and accountability remain at the core of its trade relations. We call on the EU and Member States to: 🚫 Suspend trade deals under occupation ⚖️ Stop enabling violations of international law (1/2)

Ahead of tomorrow’s debate in the @europarl.europa.eu DEVE Committee on EU development cooperation and migration, let us rethink the migration-development nexus:

📢 END TRADE DEALS WITH ILLEGAL OCCUPATION European governments cannot continue to speak of human rights while offering trading advantages to Israel. The EU–Israel trade agreement must be reviewed immediately. No state should profit while crimes against humanity, annexation, and genocide are (1/3)
