#CSDDD Political agreement announced 👉NO obligations for big companies to take action to reduce emissions 👉NO reduction of barriers to accessing justice for victims & communities 👉NO strong incentives to prevent human rights abuses Ireland agreed to the deal with little thought to its consequences

As Minister Peter Burke heads to the final #CSDDD trilogue negotiation, @irishtimes.com has published shocking revelations on the corporate campaign to lobby for EU deregulation, undermine democracy and weaken vital protections for people and the planet: www.irishtimes.com/world/europe...

'Minister Peter Burke, you can take the side of the corporate lobby, increase corporate profits, increase pollution, increase human rights abuses or you can take the side of affected communities, workers & the environment.' Ireland must stand against human rights abuses & environmental destruction!

The dismantling of the #CSDDD is an insult to at-risk communities, workers, indigenous peoples and human rights defenders all over the world. Minister Peter Burke, ensure that human rights and the environment are put back on the table NOW, instead of prioritising corporate profits!

Last week's vote on Omnibus I dismantled the CSDDD and took the side of rich multinational companies and the far right over at-risk communities, workers and human rights defenders. The EU Ombudswoman has now found that the process was rushed, opaque and corporate-driven. This is unacceptable!

'The direct losses & damages caused by Cyclone Freddy in Malawi in 2023 is estimated at over $506 million, double the amount available in the start-up phase. There was such excitement around the Loss & Damage Fund. It was a real symbol of climate justice. But 3 years on it’s still an empty shell.'
