Bayer - sponsor of the "Agrizone" at COP30 - also sponsors a podcast which in 2023 interviewed a notorious climate change denier On the episode, Luiz Carlos Molion says the IPCC spreads “climate terrorism” and CO2's effect is too small to measure. More: unearthed.greenpeace.org/2025/11/11/c...

NEW: The "Agrizone" at COP30 is supposed to be a showcase for sustainable agriculture 🌳 But its sponsors are powerful agribusiness interests linked to deforestation and anti-conservation lobbying who have paid for visibility and "image gain" Read more 👇:

Over 100 old landfills across England containing potentially hazardous material have flooded at least once this century, while 2,600 sites are close to watercourses across England, according to our new investigation. unearthed.greenpeace.org/2025/04/26/h...

BREAKING: Brazil meat giant JBS has received approval from the SEC for its plan to list on the New York Stock Exchange. The new comes days after we revealed its pledge to rid its vast Amazon beef supply chain of deforestation by January is likely to be broken www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

When huge Brazilian beef producer JBS broke its first zero-deforestation promise, it had 14 slaughterhouses in the Amazon. Today, it has 22 operating, with the capacity to slaughter more than 19,000 cattle daily. We asked ranchers about its latest pledge to clean up its supply chain, by Jan 2026.

Huge Brazilian beef company JBS says its vast, multi-step Amazon supply chain will be deforestation-free by the end of the year. We went to the Amazon to speak to farmers on the ground. Most of them said hitting the target by 2026 was impossible, and cattle laundering was still routine

🌳 We went to the Amazon to ask dozens of ranchers and industry insiders on the ground what THEY think about whether a zero-deforestation promise made by Brazilian beef behemoth JBS is feasible. The majority said, in so many words, NOPE Full story here: unearthed.greenpeace.org/2025/04/17/j...

JBS promised to rid its Amazon cattle supply of all deforestation by Jan 2026. Over 3 trips to cattle country, ranchers told us it’s highly unlikely, and already being undermined. Major new investigation, with @theguardian.com and @reporterbrasil.org.br: unearthed.greenpeace.org/2025/04/17/j...

I have been reporting on deforestation in Brazil for years. Last year, along with @aliceross.bsky.social and Naira Hofmeister, I decided to dig into beef giant JBS’s flagship promise: to eliminate deforestation from its Amazon supply chain by the end of 2025. So what’s actually changed?

JBS looks set to break its pledge to stop buying cattle from Amazon deforesters by the end of this year, 35+ ranchers and industry insiders told us. This is not the first time the giant beef company has broken such a promise

🐄 JBS, the world’s biggest meat company, says it’s cleaning up its supply chain in the Amazon by the end of this year. 🌳 We spoke to 30+ ranchers and industry leaders. The vast majority said JBS will miss its target: it’s “humanly impossible”, said one. unearthed.greenpeace.org/2025/04/17/j...

Cargill has signalled that it may exit the Soy Moratorium, a pact which helped bring down Amazon deforestation by 70% Repórter Brasil estimates that if other companies follow suit, 2.5m ha of land deforested since 2009 could be converted to soy reporterbrasil.org.br/2025/02/carg...

Our latest investigation found 5 shipments of Russian gas bought by Shell were assisted through Arctic waters by sanctioned Atomflot icebreakers last winter. Though Shell did not pay Atomflot directly, experts say a link to a sanctioned company could create legal & ethical risks for the oil giant.

This is a nuclear-powered icebreaker, operated by a state-owned Russian company called Atomflot. Atomflot has been sanctioned by the EU, UK and US since 2023. 🧵

NEW INVESTIGATION 🚢 Companies including Shell and Total import millions of tonnes of gas a year to Europe from the Russian Arctic on specialised LNG tankers. Last winter, these shipments relied on a fleet of sanctioned icebreakers to cross Siberian waters 🚢

Fires & floods could be related in a phenomenon known as “hydroclimate whiplash”: volatile swings between wet & dry conditions, heightened by climate change. "we should be joining the soaked & charred dots to recognise & mitigate the dual risks of this whiplash effect" writes @anjahuja.bsky.social

Snapdragons are my favorite flower to grow. They do however produce seed pods that look like the screaming skulls of the damned.

The most annoying thing Is the increase in size of the cars has also more or less cancelled out any co2 efficiency gains, wrecking all our transport decarbonisation plans

I see this so clearly when in the US - almost all cars there are absolutely stonking now - but they're creeping up here too. Such a stupid, selfish trend: very bad for climate and air quality, and incredibly dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists (especially children!) www.iihs.org/news/detail/...

When his right side seized up after working the fields of his small-holding, Valdemar Postanovicz thought he was having a stroke. He had absorbed Reglone, a powerful herbicide based on diquat - banned in the UK, but produced here and shipped to Brazil: unearthed.greenpeace.org/2024/12/08/b...

New from UE: The UK is exporting thousands of tonnes of a toxic weedkiller called diquat, even though its use has been banned here for years. More than half goes to Brazil. We spoke to the Brazilian farmers poisoned with this dangerous export. unearthed.greenpeace.org/2024/12/08/b...

Some good news here! A Brazilian federal court has annulled the contract granting Canadian company Belo Sun access to mine public lands, in a major setback to its plans for a huge open-pit gold mine into the banks of the Xingu River in the Amazon.

The Amazon soy moratorium might not sound exciting, but it is arguably the most impactful agreement on deforestation in history. Weakening it now would be a very, very worrying move. Here’s why 🧵👇 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Negotiators for #EU governments yesterday agreed to delay a ban on the import of commodities linked to #deforestation by one year. Despite pressure from many EU members, some companies and countries such as Brazil and Indonesia, the regulation itself will not be changed. earth.org/explainer-th...
