Thank you to MEPs @chahim.bsky.social and Peter Liese for joining our (co-organised with @misereor.bsky.social) breakfast this morning at COMECE for a cross-party exchange on the future of #EU climate policy, between international expectations and European political realities after #COP30.

🔴 After #COP30 — The World Cannot Ignore #Belém’s Call for Climate Justice. ➡️ Read the latest CIDSE press release on the main takeaways from COP30 here: www.cidse.org/2025/11/23/a...

🪧From #Belém to the world: ✝️ More than 300 catholic organisations from more than 40 countries raise a united call to protect our common home and stand with the most vulnerable. ➡️ Read the full statement: cidse.org/2025/11/21/a...

📹 Our colleague Liz, @cafod.bsky.social climate policy lead, shares her thoughts on the importance of #COP30 and her hopes for the conference, particularly on #climatefinance. She also explains why what is happening in #Belém is so significant this year, particularly in the context of the #Jubilee.

📹 Our colleague @mathieuparis.bsky.social, debt advocacy officer at @ccfd-tsolidaire.bsky.social, explains his work and the one of his colleagues at #COP30 negotiations, as well as the close relationship between debt justice and climate finance. 🪧"There is no climate justice without debt justice"!

🌎Join us in solidarity for #ourcommonhome! ✝️We invite Catholics and people of goodwill everywhere to sign the #COP30 statement from the Cardinals, Bishops and Catholic organisations in Belém. 👉 Sign here: cidse.org/2025/11/19/s...

Week 1 in #Belem for #COP30 with @cidse.bsky.social felt both longer and too short. Inside the venue, progress on just transition and climate finance still needs real political will. Outside, the People’s Summit breathed hope, urgency, solidarity. The Amazon is speaking, are we listening?

🌱 “We must move from collecting data to caring… from discourse to ecological conversion.” – Pope Leo XIV 🌍 “COP30 must be the COP of Hope.” – Marina Silva At #RaisingHope, urgency turned into hope & action. The movement is strong, and we will keep flowing like a river past obstacles. ✨

[1/4] A few hours after the #RaisingHope conference in Castel Gandolfo closed, CIDSE's Secretary General, @josiannegauthier.bsky.social reflected on her main takeaways, focusing specifically on what lifts our spirits in challenging times.

🚨ELSiA calls on EU leaders to show courage and compassion ahead of #COP30 in Belém. Our letter urges stronger EU climate ambition, a just transition and solidarity with those most affected by the climate crisis. Read more 👉 elsialliance.org/elsia-calls-... #LaudatoSi

🌍 Bishops from Asia, Latin America & Africa call for urgent #climateaction ahead of #COP30, for justice, peace & care for our common home. At CIDSE, we amplify this call from the Global South. #COP30 is a pivotal moment for bold action. 🌱 ➡️ buff.ly/oSyCmth

🌱 As #SB62 ends, CIDSE leaves Bonn facing a stark truth: 2025 marks a year of reckoning & resolve. We turn now to #COP30 in Belém, committed to the fight for climate & global justice — inspired by people, communities, & movements who refuse to give up on our common home. 🌍 👉 buff.ly/Q2CqsAz

🌍 An urgent call to EU leaders: act with ambition, fairness and courage in setting the updated NDC and 2040 climate target. The climate crisis demands nothing less.📄 Read our full letter: elsialliance.org/elsia-calls-...

Congrats @berndnilles.bsky.social!

🎙️ We’re live at #LaudatoSi Day in Brussels! Kicking off an essential conversation on how EU policy can align with integral ecology, climate justice & human dignity. #ClimateJustice #JustTransition #FoodSystems

"Our world is changing rapidly & we need everyone on board; without collective effort, meaningful change simply won’t happen." MEP @manuelaripa.bsky.social "To create real change, we need an integrated food policy connecting production, trade & consumption." Béla Kuslits @europeanjesuit.bsky.social

A strong #FfD4 outcome is essential to address #climatecrisis & fossil fuel lock-in #COP29 did little to address Global South climate finance needs. #EU must back strong FfD4 outcomes and solutions via #UN on sovereign debt, tax, and clarify rich country obligations on climate & development finance

🕊️ Today we lost a champion for the voices of the marginalised & the victims of injustice. #PapaFrancesco taught us not to be indifferent to the cry of the earth & the cry of the poor, but to act with compassion & solidarity. 🙏Thank you for your incommensurable service.

A humble appeal to theologians and Christian media: Christians around the world are organizing for debt justice during the Jubilee Year. They'll do it with or without the help of theologians and journalists, but it's a unique opportunity to show how valuable these fields are for Christian action.
