A few takes on yesterday's #SOTEU speech: ▪️Migration is NOT illegal, it's human. People are forced to take irregular routes due to the lack of legal and safe pathways. ▪️We don't need more border control & securitization - we need violence and human rights violations to stop. ⬇️

Tomorrow, von der Leyen will address the EU Parliament with her SOTEU speech. Today, civil society and trade unions delivered a very clear message in a statement signed by 470 organisations: we need rules to protect people and the environment! corporateeurope.org/en/2025/09/o...

Africa Climate Summit kicks off this week 🌍 Ahead of the EU–AU Summit in Nov & COP30, EU must show ambition in its partnerships: 💸 Trillions not billions 📢 Grants not loans 🔓 Cancel unfair debt 💰 Make polluters pay Climate & economic justice must guide EU–Africa relations. #AfricaClimateSummit #EUAU

More money, less vision? #MFF The EU’s new #GlobalEurope Instrument risks turning partnerships into political transactions—prioritizing flexibility over clarity, and influence over development. Read our analysis and recommendations ➡️ actionaid.org/publications...

🌍 Today’s proposal by @ec.europa.eu to boost the external budget instrument to €200B sends a strong signal of global leadership. But within this Foreign Policy Instrument, we're eager to see the commitment to #ODA — that’s where EU priorities will truly show. #MFF

📣NEW Global Campaign Launched: #FillTheFund! The establishment of the Fund for responding to #LossandDamage was a breakthrough, but it remains critically underfunded—little more than an empty promise. Rich nations are now shirking their historical responsibility. 1/5

This frightening conclusion on #Omnibus #CSDDD: "And this is the saddest: there is no evidence-based decision-making in the three EU institutions at the moment... The far-right in the EU is getting what they asked for: A dismantling of the Green Deal." en.frankbold.org/news/what-do...

The Danish Presidency is prioritising migration, linking it closely with EU security. 🔔For years, the EU has invoked 'security concerns' to justify policies that violate the rights of people seeking asylum, often resulting in practices such as pushbacks, arbitrary detention, and externalisation.

💡 Solutions to fund the just transition are on the table at #FfD4: debt reforms, scaled-up public climate finance, ending fossil fuel subsidies... 🌍 The EU must act—not only to support Global South escape a fossil fuel debt trap, but also to strengthen multilateralism at these turbulent times.

JOINT STATEMENT: The EU's recent 'safe country' proposals appear to be part of a broader strategy to externalise the EU’s migration management. With 50+ NGOs, we're calling on the EU and member states to reject any attempts to weaken protection for asylum seekers: www.rescue.org/eu/resource/...

🌍 As the Global South rises, the #EU clings to an outdated model of multilateralism that many now reject. To stay relevant, it must rethink power, justice, and its own role in shaping a fairer world. #FfD4 #COP30 ✍️ Read the blog: actionaid.org/publications...

The tax system is failing the most vulnerable while powerful and harmful corporations continue their profiteering! Fair taxes can raise over US$2 trillion yearly for climate-vulnerable communities #EndCorporateGreed #TaxJusticeNow #UNTaxConvention actionaid.org/publications...

New Policy Brief: What is the reality of private finance in the UNFCCC Baku-Belem Roadmap to 1.5 Trillion? The EU's choices must confront structural barriers holding back climate action in the Global South and scale up public climate finance! 🔗

#WorldRefugeeDay: what do you hope for in the future? This is what we asked the women who drive our work in #Ireland and #Italy. See their answers below: @actionaidie.bsky.social

⚠️ Rich countries are slashing their #aid budgets and this is a threat to public services & #HumanRights in low-income countries. 📢 Ask European governments to increase, improve, and democratise aid! ✍️ Sign the petition: www.eurodad.org/aid_petition & read the 3 key demands ⤵️

🧵 #WorldRefugeeDay: migrant women are exposed to intersectional forms of discrimination: access to international mobility is not gender neutral and neither is the stay in a host country. In Europe, women face barriers in accessing decent #work, #education, #health services. @actionaidie.bsky.social

🧵 #WorldRefugeeDay: Becoming a refugee isn't a choice, but our response is. Many, especially women, face huge barriers. Our solidarity can break these, fostering self-reliance & creating truly inclusive communities. Read our blog post here: bit.ly/3HYpz30

#FfD4 will set the agenda for how the global economic system will serve #development in the coming years. European governments should demonstrate the political will necessary for #EconomicJustice. The time is now! ⏰ Read our OpEd (@POLITICOEurope): www.politico.eu/sponsored-co...

🌍 There's no climate action without funding, especially for #LossAndDamage, & without #GenderJustice. The EU must act now: funding real solutions, prioritizing affected communities, & empowering women on the frontlines.

Later today, ActionAid will be participating in an event reflecting on the ongoing rollback of funding for climate justice and gender equality in Europe. Looking to hear about challenges and opportunities for activists in the fight for a sustainable future? Follow along as we cover the event!

The EU's #Omnibus proposal jeopardizes gender justice by dismantling the #CSDDD. It's a dangerous rollback that silences women, weakens climate action, and lets corporations off the hook. Tell the EU: Uphold Human Rights! 💪 For more: buff.ly/uiYUVic

⚠️Big corps are trying to dodge accountability, and the EU's #Omnibus is helping them! Let's stand up for #GenderJustice and demand real human rights protection. Our future and rights are on the line. For more: bit.ly/43t84k0 @actionaidnl.bsky.social @actionaidfr.bsky.social

🚨 Corporate greed alert! 🚨 The EU's #Omnibus proposal is weakening human rights protections for women in global value chains. It guts the #CSDDD, limiting accountability & access to justice. We need Gender Justice, not corporate impunity! For more: bit.ly/43t84k0

We're at an unprecedented moment in the history of int'l development cooperation. #Aid budgets are being cut & real people are suffering. ⚠️ A status quo approach at #FfD4 will be a deathblow to the entire system. Read Matt's full intervention ➡️ csoforffd.org/resources/in... #FfD4People

Today’s @press.consilium.europa.eu Conclusions are disappointing, but EU countries can still show more ambition in the 40 days left until #Ffd4. Read our joint reaction with @eurodadnews.bsky.social & @actionaideu.bsky.social 👇 www.oxfam.org/en/press-rel...

⚠️The #EU is not going to deliver the ambition needed for Sevilla, unless they show more ambition in the remaining. +/- 40 days. Read our joint reaction with @oxfameu.bsky.social & @actionaideu.bsky.social to the @consilium.europa.eu Conclusions 👉 ow.ly/Ze0N50VYNqU

This proposal is a blow against people seeking protection and livelihood in Europe. We can expect families being separated and people being deported without appropriate judicial review to places they don't even know. This is no way of living up to Europe's values of human dignity and human rights.

No more floundering, EU: the time for centring women, peace, & security is now! 

When women are involved, communities & peace negotiating processes are better off. 

Investing in women & the WPS agenda is investing in a feminist & fairer future.

The EU has to step up and bring bold leadership on aid, tax, and #debt at #FfD4. If not, the EU will fail to honour its commitments to #multilateralism and to its core values of equality and respect for human rights. Read more: bit.ly/4dsHj2h @oxfameu.bsky.social @eurodadnews.bsky.social

The question is whether the EU will demonstrate the political will to come up with a credible offer ahead of a major aid summit, and whether Spain — as host country — can move the bloc forward, warn @oxfaminternational.bsky.social , @actionaideu.bsky.social and @eurodadnews.bsky.social.

This week, ActionAid participated in #EHF2025 with colleagues from Denmark, Italy, Palestine and Brussels. Our main conclusion? It is crucial to prioritise funding and support to local actors in humanitarian crises because they are: ✅ more effective ✅culturally-sensitive ✅ more accountable

87% of teachers across Africa don’t have enough classroom furniture or materials. And 73% are forced to buy them with their own money. ⚠️This is the real cost of underfunding public education⚠️ (1/4)

We welcome the @europarl.europa.eu #Development Committee's support for a #UNDebtConvention in today's historical #FfD4 vote. The UN is the only 🌍 institution with equal representation & can guarantee that creditors' interests aren't prioritised over the needs of millions of people! A 🧵

As fragility rises globally, 61 countries are now considered highly or extremely fragile. These countries are home to 25% of the world’s population — & 72% of those living in extreme poverty. At #EHF2025, we call on the EU to prioritise people, not politics, in the next #MFF. bit.ly/JointStateme...
