"my company's horrendous pollution doesn't matter because someone else bought a forest and we gave them some money to put our logo on their website" – this is what you sound like when you talk about offsets. are you listening to yourself, does this sound like how earth science works??

The EU and governments must put people's lives, health, livelihoods and homes above the profit margins of polluting corporations Climate action has been too slow, and every fraction of a degree of global heating causes more destruction #COP30

Very concerning – deep-sea mining could be doing untold damage to the ocean's ability to support life

Oil and gas companies, big tech, industrial farming and food, the chemical industry, car companies, the financial sector – all have armies of lobbyists pushing to weaken protections for people and nature, to boost their profit margins There must be a watchdog on law-making, to hold power to account

what a headline

What would you say to someone who thinks the EU-Mercosur deal is just about economic opportunity? Dinamam Tuxá @apiboficial.bsky.social is an Indigenous leader of the Tuxá people, from the Tuxá Indigenous Land in Brazil. He came to Brussels to tell EU leaders exactly why the deal is so harmful.

The EU's environment ministers have agreed a proposed climate target for 2040 that is much lower than what even the EU's own science advisers called for Half-assing climate action will lead to more deaths, more lost homes, more lost harvests – and the EU will struggle play leader at #COP30 #EU2040

The EU-Mercosur trade deal is a threat to the climate, to forests, to workers and to your health Not only that but the way the Commission is pushing the deal through is anti-democratic and undermines rule of law National parliaments will be sidelined so MEPs must #StopEUMercosur!

Beim Toxic Trade Tour Stop in Berlin haben wir mit vielen anderen Organisationen ein klares Zeichen vor dem Bundeskanzleramt gesetzt – gegen giftigen Handel und gegen das EU-Mercosur-Handelsabkommen. 📣 Helft uns, gegen das Abkommen zu protestieren. Alle Materialien: power-shift.de/aktiv-werden...

The European Commission wants to open up the EU's chemical safety rules (REACH) Maybe a Hallowe'en screening of the #ecohorror film Safe is in order...

no better day to reach into the crypt and resurrect this thread do you have a favourite #ecohorror film that we've missed?

Happy Hallowe'en everyone In the spirit of spooky season, we're going to post some of our favourite eco-horror films It's time for the spiraling disasters unleashed by society's destruction of nature

The European Commission is hell-bent on tearing up as much protection for nature, health, workers, human rights and privacy as possible Unscrupulous business are happy to maximise their profits by throwing people and nature under the bus – and have hundreds of meetings with the Commission to do it

HUGE result from @greenpeace.no, @naturogungdom.bsky.social and youth activists The European Court of Human Rights has just ruled that the Norwegian government must take the global climate impact into account before approving new oil and gas projects

In 1850 the weight of all the world's wild mammals equalled the weight of humans and our livestock Today they are outweighed 1 to 20 Reconfiguring life on this planet to produce cheap meat and dairy www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Drilling for oil and gas in the Arctic ocean is a threat to people's human rights to life, to health, and to a safe environment Six youth activists, along with @greenpeace.no and @naturogungdom.bsky.social, took the Norwegian government to court to demand these rights are protected

How many climate deaths are hidden? The EU and national governments record and publish statistics from road traffics deaths – what would a public register of climate deaths look like?

"Overall, fossil fuel producers own only 1.42 percent of global renewable energy projects, and those projects are responsible for a measly 0.1 percent of their total energy production." Oil, gas and coal companies aren't interested in renewable energy – except as a smokescreen to continue polluting

At #COP30, Big Ag will be spreading a wave of bullshit, but no amount of buzzwords can hide the fact that industrial livestock farming is driving the climate crisis Equip yourself with this wonderful guide from @desmog.com #StopBigAg www.desmog.com/2025/10/26/b...

"I hope that the ruling from the European Court of Human Rights will be a turning point for the Norwegian government. We need climate action, not oil drilling in the Arctic.” - Ella Marie Hætta Isaksen, Sámi activist and one of the applicants before the European Court of Human Rights

Victoire historique contre la désinformation climatique 🔥

Yesterday's amended EUDR announcement from the @ec.europa.eu shows where the obstacles to the application of the EU deforestation law really are. Spoiler alert: not in the IT system 👀🧑‍💻

45 meat and dairy giants emit more methane than EU and UK combined, study finds

Easy: politicians doing their jobs. Next question. #StopVonDelaying and implement the #EUDR in full and on time! #ProtectWhatYouLove #TogetherForForests

@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu A 1-year delay of the EU Deforestation Law #EUDR means 31,536,000 more trees lost- harming forests, people, and the climate, damaging investments and innovation and destroying the EU’s credibility. #StopVonDelaying. Keep your promises: fully implement the law as planned.

The US is calling for special treatment under the EU's deforestation law #EUDR, claiming as many other countries do that they pose a low risk to forests Reality: "the US administration is in the process of eliminating key environmental safeguards (including for forests)" The EU must protect nature

This morning, we stood with @caneurope.org to demand fair housing and fair energy for all. From tenant unions to climate activists, people across Europe are rising up together. Our message to EU leaders is loud and clear: our right to housing is not for sale. #FairHousingNow #PeopleOverProfit

The European Parliament's trade and energy committees have just voted to accelerate the EU's phase-out of Russian fossil fuels, calling for an end to gas imports by the end of 2026, and to oil imports at the start of 2026 EU national governments are still to take a position, before negotiations

At @socialistsanddemocrats.eu Latin America event, Marita Gonzalez, representing Mercosur trade unions, makes a clear statement: for us trade unions, this EU-Mercosur deal does NOT guarantee a sustainable and inclusive development. Will S&D MEPs listen & say NO to this toxic deal? #StopEUMercosur

The longer that the EU and governments take to act, the harder the task becomes – and more people will lose their homes, health, livelihoods and lives Slow-walking climate action only benefits the short-term profits of polluting companies Ordinary people, and the natural world, will pay the price

WARNING: Ireland is seriously discussing following the New Zealand government's dodgy methane accounting method

Dodgy climate accounting does nothing to fight the climate crisis – and Ireland looks like it wants to follow New Zealand in covering up the carbon pollution from animal farming too

This week's issue is about a very timely cross-border investigation that illustrated the shortfalls of the current system in protecting a crucial asset of European agriculture: farm workers. Full disclosure: I played a small role mentoring the team behind this. news.thin-ink.net/p/how-europe...

"It is the first time scientists have declared that Earth has likely reached a so-called "tipping point": a shift that could trigger massive and often permanent changes in the natural world." Politicians' inaction in the face of the climate crisis is undermining our planet's ability to support life

Moving to renewable energy doesn't *only* bring down carbon emissions and direct air pollution, it also leads to a LOT less mining/drilling for resources and a LOT less shipping

The European Commission is threatening to delay (again!) the EU's law to protect the world's forests – they say it's because their computer system isn't ready 🙄 We wrote to the European Commission: the EU must keep its commitments to stop forest destruction, no more delays

There is absolutely a path to 100% renewable energy – the technology already exists, and is getting better (and cheaper!) every year What's missing is the political will from governments and the EU to fully plan an end to fossil fuels, insulate and cut energy waste, and go full-tilt for renewables

New @greenpeace.org report based on insights from experts on Russia’s climate, nature and politics It's an unparalleled look at Russia's ecosystems, the movements working to protect them, and the country’s impact on global sustainability – all against the backdrop of the ongoing invasion of Ukraine

Activists have been blocking the liquified gas port in Zeebrugge for 24 hours now, protesting the EU's imports of Russian gas, demanding that these aren't replaced with gas from the US Getting the EU off fossil fuels is essential not only for the climate crisis, but for peace too ✍️: bit.ly/44DANBE
