Today the Commission closes its consultation on ‘CO2 infrastructure & markets’ – a fossil fuel industry stitch up full of deregulation that seeks to entrench carbon capture by building costly and dangerous CO2 pipelines. Read more on Deregulation Watch: corporateeurope.org/en/deregulation-watch

👉 In July, the European Commission proposed a new 2040 climate target – 90% emissions reduction vs. 1990 levels. But behind the big headline lies a dangerous loophole. By relying on international #CarbonCredits & unproven #CarbonRemovals, the proposal risks becoming a free pass for polluters 👇 1/

🔴 New research from @stopcorpabuse.bsky.social reveals once again that #CarbonOffsets are ineffective and prone to failure. The voluntary carbon market (#VCM) is sold as a “golden ticket” to net zero… but it’s just a license for polluters to keep polluting 1/ 👇

🌱 Nature offsets, just like carbon offsets, are not a real solution to the climate & biodiversity crises we're facing. ❌ They risk harming the environment instead of protecting it, while allowing business as usual to continue & gambling with our future 👇 greenfinanceobservatory.org/wp-content/u...

EU’s nature credits? A roadmap to greenwashing. In the words of @claradb.bsky.social, "a cover for inaction, a greenwashing shortcut that allows corporations to keep destroying nature as long as they pay for it". Read our full reaction & short analysis 👇 friendsoftheearth.eu/press-releas...

🚨 This loophole relies on a failed approach: letting polluting industries buy offset credits from outside Europe. Each credit = one tonne of CO2 that polluting industries can emit. The result? Delayed #ClimateAction and more emissions. 👇 1/

🎧 Looking for something to listen to this weekend? In this episode of the Smoke and Mirrors podcast, Mary Church, campaigner at @ciel.org, dives deep into the myths, risks & global legal battles around #geoengineering, & why it threatens real #ClimateAction. www.matrixlaw.co.uk/resource/a-c... 1/

What is #geoengineering? It’s in the news lately, but what does it really mean? 🔎 Geoengineering = large-scale interventions in the Earth’s oceans, soils and atmosphere to temporarily reduce the effects of climate change. It’s a false climate solution www.geoengineeringmonitor.org/what-is-geoe...

🔥 In June, we hosted the first session in our new webinar series: Pulling Back the Curtain – Taking on False Solutions The webinar unpacked some of the most common false solutions to the climate crisis including #CCS, #hydrogen, #BECCS, #geoengineering, and the role of CCS & #CDR in EU policy 👇 1/

1/2 What does the EU's #2040 climate target loophole mean in reality? The @oekoinstitut.bsky.social shows that using international carbon offsets for 3% of its emissions cuts means "the EU’s 2040 net emissions would be 30% higher" than if it made the cuts domestically www.oeko.de/publikation/...

Wasting time & public 💰 on risky, expensive technical fixes such as #CCS and #CDR delays just transition + gives the industry cover to keep up emissions, says Oil Change International senior campaigner Myriam Douo, commenting on the EU's updated climate law. ➡️ www.realzeroeurope.org/resources/pr...

🔴 The EU’s updated Climate Law falls short of delivering the real solutions needed to reach real zero. The new proposal rely on international carbon offsets and #CDR — approaches that undermine climate ambition and delay real emission cuts. Read more 👇 www.realzeroeurope.org/resources/pr...

🔴 The EU's Climate Law must not be a lifeline for polluters! 79 NGOs from Europe & beyond call on the EU to reject international offsets & risky #CDR in the Climate Law! These false solutions delay #ClimateAction & harm vulnerable communities. Read more 👇 www.realzeroeurope.org/resources/st...

🔴 OUT NOW 📢 69 NGOs call on the EU to deliver a Climate Law that rejects international carbon offsetting & Carbon Dioxide Removals (#CDR), commits to a full fossil fuel phase-out, and reflects Europe’s fair share of climate responsibility! Read the statement👇 www.realzeroeurope.org/resources/st...

A new piece from Drilled reveals that Chevron purchased millions of #CarbonCredits from a project claiming to protect #Indigenous land in the Colombian Amazon. But Indigenous leaders say they were excluded from decision-making and received “zero information, zero participation, zero benefits.” 👇 1/

📢 @iatp.bsky.social, @foeeurope.bsky.social & other 15 CSOs signed a letter urging Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra to set an ambitious emission reduction target for agriculture. International #offsets undermine EU ambition & miss the chance to cut emissions & build a better food system. Read more 👇

🔎 THREAD: Unmasking the myths of #Carbon #Capture & Storage The #EU #Commission @ec.europa.eu & industries keep pushing #CCS, but investigations expose its financial, technical & environmental risks. #CostlyIllusion 📢 Public funds must go to proven climate solutions - not to benefit polluters 🧵⬇️
