"After more than 25 years of trying to force through an unsustainable and unfair trade agreement with Mercosur, it’s time for EU leaders to face the inescapable truth: it’s never going to happen." - Lis Cunha, trade campaigner #StopEUMercosur #RespectTheAmazon www.greenpeace.org/eu-unit/issu...

Thousands of hectares of forest will be lost forever, after the EU again delays action The EU Commission, national authorities + companies now need to make sure the anti-deforestation law is implemented by end 2026 to break the link between EU consumption and deforestation once and for all #EUDR

The EU Commission has bent to pressure from Germany and the car industry, taking the first steps to scrap the phase-out date for new petrol and diesel cars Climate-heating emissions from transport are rising, and air pollution kills too many each year No new polluting cars – more public transport

The EU Commission's plan for affordable homes must not just boost sales for developers and speculators Homes must be affordable to buy and rent – and to heat and cool There is a risk that building and planning standards get axed to line developers pockets, and in the end do nothing for people

LEAK on 9th #Omnibus: Commission is about to publish a massive betrayal to human health and the environment: ☠️ Giving unlimited approval for #pesticides! 😵‍💫 Who will pay that bill, Ursula? #EUAgriFoodDays 💀 Who will profit: Big Polluters like #Bayer & #BASF: corporateeurope.org/en/2025/12/p...

#EUMercosur: rumours are there may be a hasty attempt at a trilogue tomorrow if MEPs amend the safeguards for farmers today Trying to wrap up 25 years of sensitive talks in a single day in one of the busiest weeks of the year = desperation Meanwhile, Italy too now wants a delay Read the room VDL!

🚨Today, the European Parliament is discussing taxation of super-rich. No tax justice = no social justice! 3️⃣6️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ individuals hold the wealth of the bottom 50% - unacceptable! EU should not protect these "bros" but #TaxTheSuperRich & fund people's need! 📸 11/12/2025, European Parliament - Brussels

@greenpeace.eu’s Marco Contiero denounces the lack of political will to pursue a true #FoodSystem transformation. Rolling back environmental protections will hurt farmers, who need stability, a clear direction of travel, and fair remuneration for their work. #EUAgriFoodDays

"Since the war in Ukraine the EU has saved 60bn cubic metres in gas between 2022 and 2024 from renewable deployment and energy efficiency, accompanied by reduction in coal and oil." "the most secure unit of energy is the unit that does not need to be consumed" – it's the greenest, too!

EU energy policy: made in the USA, or to be made in the EU? As the Energy Council takes place in Brussels, CAN Europe and @foodwatereurope.bsky.social are on the ground with one message: Europe’s energy policy must be shaped in Europe, not by foreign fossil fuel vested interests. 1/4 🧵👇

An EU phase-out of oil, gas and coal is a much more sure way to stop money flowing to Putin's war chest Tankers evading sanctions, as well as continuing to finance the war, are playing fast and loose with safety, which could lead to environmental disaster if there's an accident

These two stories are somehow connected. Apparently, if you lobby tirelessly for more pollution & ecological wreckage, that’s exactly what you get.

Ever heard of cheesing?* 🧀 It's the perfect way to describe the game that's played by decisionmakers to destroy environmental & human rights protections: 1. Cheap tricks 2. Unfair 3. Overly easy Watch & let us know who you nominate for BIGGEST cheese⁉️ #Deregulator youtu.be/IyWvUzR5y2M?...

When is 90% not 90%? The EU's 2040 climate target has so many loopholes, it will lead to much lower cuts to pollution than the headline suggests Going against its own science advisers, the EU will allow dodgy accounting and offshore carbon laundering to make up the numbers – hugely irresponsible

Synthetic chemicals in food system creating health burden of $2.2tn a year, report finds - Scientists issue urgent warning about chemicals, found to cause cancer and infertility as well as harming environment Story by @damiengayle.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Industrial agriculture consumes most of our food, while millions go hungry in Europe. Most EU farmland isn’t supporting people - it’s feeding factory farms. That’s land we need to grow real food and nourish communities. #EUAgriFoodDays #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness

*384* of these whales left in the entire world (now banned) commercial whaling pushed so many species to the brink of extinction but an explosion in international shipping, bottom-trawling fishing, overfishing in general, oil and gas drilling (and soon deep-sea mining) threaten to push them over

Press Release - Today, the newly elected Norwegian government ruled out deep sea mining licenses in Arctic waters until at least the end of 2029.  www.greenpeace.org/internationa...

It's the @politico.eu 'sustainable future summit' today and tomorrow Our agriculture expert was on the panel, but then we found out that Spanish fossil fuel company @naturgy.bsky.social was sponsoring it, and giving a keynote speech each day We're boycotting #POLITICOSustainableSummit, here's why:

Naturgy used their keynote speech to argue that no energy source is better than any other If the climate crisis, water and air pollution, huge amounts of shipping and fueling Putin's war aren't enough to think there's a problem with fossil gas... #PoliticoSustainableSummit

would we accept a tobacco company sponsoring and presenting a cancer summit? would politicians working in health speak on the panels, appearing with the company's logo?

"we asked grok" "we asked chatgpt" yeah well we asked an orca in the '70s and it told us to fight whaling and protect the oceans

tired: "the blockchain" inspired: blocking a chain by chaining yourself to it to block a coal shipment

"Every shipment of coal that leaves this port contributes to more devastating bushfires, floods and cyclones. As a doctor, I have seen first-hand the impacts of climate disasters on people" Well done @greenpeaceap.bsky.social!! It's time for an end to coal, oil and gas

Right wing MEPs have made a mess of the EU deforestation law, #EUDR And they call it "simplification" Comment by Greenpeace EU senior legal strategist, Andrea Carta: www.greenpeace.org/eu-unit/issu...

Europe considers these pesticides too toxic for use at home - yet exports them to other countries✈️ This double standard is deadly and needs to end. 🌍 Watch civil society and farmer organisations around the world send them back to Brussels 👇 #ReturnToSender #BanToxicExports #StopEUMercosur

Roberta Metsola @president.europarl.europa.eu denied a request from 145 MEPs to ask for a legal opinion on the #EUMercosur deal Her argument - that the EU has to sign the deal before MEPs can ask the Court of Justice to check its legality - is plainly and obviously wrong Here's why:

The #ToxicTradeTour hit Brussels this morning with pesticide barrels & green sludge showing what’s at stake when leaders won't answer for trade justice. 🇪🇺 Commission President von der Leyen & 🇧🇪 PM de Wever: will you choose farmers, nature & people above corporate profits? Will you #StopEUMercosur?

EU commission president von der Leyen said today the EU isn't fighting fossil fuels, only the *emissions* from fossil fuels total nonsense, we can't separate fossil fuels from carbon emissions even IF we could, they're a disaster for health, nature & human rights even before you burn them #COP30

what a difference two years makes... #COP28 > #COP30 we absolutely must end fossil fuels – for the climate, for nature, for human rights, for our air and water, for our energy bills

BREAKING: EU Commission President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu says “We are not fighting fossil fuels, we are fighting the emissions from fossil fuels” She is parroting oil&gas industry lines, pushing unproven costly technologies like CCS + CO2 removals to keep using fossil fuels. #FossilFreePolitics

Seeing as they've *already* evacuated all the fossil fuel and industrial agriculture lobbyists, maybe best to just not let them back in? #COP30

Food systems are on the brink. Over 100 orgs call on govts at #COP30: ❌ Move away from Big Ag ❌ Stop methane-counting tricks that let Big Meat and Dairy off the hook ✅ Transition to #Agroecology Join us 👉 reimaginefoodsystems.org #StopBigAg #JustTransition #COP30 #AgroecologyNow #AgAmbition

According to @desmog.com, more than 300 industrial agriculture lobbyists have participated at this year’s #COP30 UN climate talks taking place in the Brazilian Amazon, where the industry is the leading cause of deforestation. #StopBigAg

For anyone keeping score: On one side it's law, justice, democracy, farmers, rural communities, the climate, the Amazon, health, workers rights, indigenous rights, EU credibility On the other side it's giant meat producers like JBS, German car and chemicals companies, and the EPP #StopEUMercosur

While @president.europarl.europa.eu plays dirty tricks to stop MEPs from referring the EU-Mercosur deal to the courts, opposition to this dangerous deal is intensifying in the streets! A #StopEUMercosur 🧵 💥 Last week, @greenpeace.fr protested in front of the Eiffel tower bsky.app/profile/gree...
