🔴 BREAKING: Analysis from @oilchange.bsky.social and @corporateeurope.org reveals €17+ billion of public funds poured into #CCS in Europe since 2001. After decades of failures, fossil fuel ties keep influencing the EU Commission at the #ICMForum. Read more 👇 www.realzeroeurope.org/resources/fa...

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

ACTION ALERT at #COP30 Climate justice means the Global North must cut emissions first and fastest and repay its ecological debt. It must provide public and non-debt-creating climate finance to the Global South. Anything less is a denial of responsibility. #PayUp #TrillionsNotMillions

"There's been no progress on climate finance. They simply don’t want to talk about how the provision of finance is being implemented. If we are at an ‘implementation COP’ then money must be central.” Meena Raman, Third World Network @sahabatalammsia.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Today, we gathered by the tens of thousands in Belém, Brazil, marching together toward climate justice because we know that the only path to a just and livable future is built by the peoples, united in internationalist solidarity #PeoplesSummit

Not again!? 84 fossil fuel lobbyists were brought by EU countries to #COP30 😤 See the detailed results of the research done 👇 fossilfreepolitics.org/news/eu-brin... It is time to free politics from the influence of the fossil fuel industry 🔥 #FossilFreePolitics #FossilFreeEU #KickBigPollutersOut

Libérons la France du gaz ! 💥 Le gaz “naturel”, soi-disant “énergie de transition”, est surtout une énergie fossile très émettrice, dangereuse pour la santé, coûteuse et qui finance des régimes autoritaires. 👉 Avec sortonsdugaz.fr, découvrez la dépendance de votre commune au gaz et agissez !

🫣 Imagine waking up in a Europe where you can’t trust the water from your tap, the air you breathe, or the food on your plate. Where no one checks if rules are enforced and disinformation goes unchallenged. That’s not dystopia - it’s the logical outcome of a trend already visible across Europe.

🔥 What happens after Europe’s NGOs are dismantled? Last week, @alemanno.bsky.social mapped how civic space in Europe is being suffocated – how NGOs die. This week, we asked the next question: what happens when they do? 🧵👇 euobserver.com/eu-political...

Europe's playbook for dismantling democracy Step one: manufacture the scandal Step two: institutionalise the witch hunt Step three: defund Step four: criminalise Step five: exploit NGOs’ indispensability

[Accord UE-Mercosur - Passez à l'action] Sans débat, sans décision du Parlement, E. Macron vient, tout seul, de changer la position de la France et dire qu'il attendait sa conclusion. Pour nous, c'est toujours NON. Dites-le lui, en 2 minutes chrono : www.collectifstoptafta.org/accord-ue-me...

Fossil fuel giant Total condemned by a French court for greenwashing ! A victory against climate disinformation.

I was first radicalized by anti-corporate globalization movement that defined the US left in the late 90s, reaching its apotheosis w/ Battle in Seattle against WTO. A few weeks ago, I hosted a live Dig w/ @eurtradejustice.bsky.social in Brussels on the history of global trade justice movement 1/

The European Trade Justice Coalition (formerly the Seattle to Brussels Network or S2B) recently had its 25 year anniversary It's good to remind ourselves of our history - the shoulders we stand on and the struggle that has gone before

[ALERTE - Nouvel accord de libre-échange] Après le Mercosur, l'UE vient d'annoncer avoir conclu les négociations de libre-échange avec l'Indonésie avec à la clef plus de déforestation, plus d'huile de palme, plus d'importations agricoles. Notre réaction : collectifstoptafta.org/actu/article...

Until the EU Deforestation law is implemented, the EU has no means to stop meat linked to the violation of Indigenous rights from being sold in the EU.😫 And the EU-Mercosur trade deal will boost precisely this kind of risky trade! ☠️ MEPs must: 👉 push against #EUDR delay 👉 reject EU-Mercosur deal

The EU Green Deal is not just policy, it’s a lifeline As climate catastrophes multiply, we cannot weaken rules for companies to reduce emissions. Accountability & ambition must guide Europe’s just transition. We are saying it loud: from Maastricht to Brussels from 21-23 Sept #BackToTheFuture march

« On a été des millions dans la rue contre la réforme des retraites, à signer la pétition contre la loi Duplomb. On nous a pas écoutés. Quand on essaye de faire les choses bien, on ne nous écoute pas. » Julie SOUMAN du Mouvement des Mères Isolées #CCeSoir ➡️ bit.ly/ChuteDeBayrou 🎧en podcast

We welcome @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu's proposal for a partial suspension of the trade part of the EU-Israel Agreement - even though it comes far too late. We call on EU member states to vote in favour. Stop fake promises, act now 🇵🇸

EU-Mercosur trade deal: We've warned the @ec.europa.eu that its current proposals would fail to effectively sanction companies for even the gravest violations of workers’ rights.

Undemocratic, the #EUMercosur is toxic! We joined +40 civil society groups and farmers unions in braving the rain to make sure EU policymakers heard us loud and clear 📣 Why the adoption of the deal is a democratic hijack 👉 friendsoftheearth.eu/press-releas...

The final EU-Mercosur deal does nothing to stop free-trade from harming neither small-scale farmers nor Indigenous Peoples threatened by the expansion of agribusiness. The splitting manoeuvre is an undemocratic hijacking of the long-standing opposition of several EU member states and parliaments.

📢Olivier de Schutter, UN Special Rapporteur, calls the export of banned pesticides by EU countries "environmental racism". "I don't see why we should tolerate that products that are too dangerous for us are not too dangerous for populations in developing countries." www.franceinfo.fr/environnemen...

Europe’s most powerful political party has picked an unexpected enemy: NGOs. After it claimed Brussels was secretly bankrolling green lobbyists, journalists Lise Witteman and Hans Wetzels of Follow the Money found a very different story.

Our decryption of the new EU-US trade plans shows: Europe is about to give away environmental, health and safety protection. Hormone beef, chlorinated chicken and even more serious health risks lurk around the corner👇 friendsoftheearth.eu/news/eu-us-t...

A few things wrong with the EU-US trade deal.... The EU-US ‘deal’ on tariffs is a political capitulation. Von der Leyen folded to Trump’s bullying and agreed to an, asymmetric deal that only favours US big corporations & the ultra-wealthy. friendsoftheearth.eu/news/stateme...

🌡️Time to heat up the debate around summer #EnergyPoverty! As we experience yet another record-breaking summer from Spain to Finland, we llok at what's being done around the world to protect the most vulnerable communities from excessive heat ➕ high energy bills 👀⬇️ www.linkedin.com/pulse/turnin...

Suspending Israel's access to the bloc’s Horizon research programme is a “bad joke” in the face of the atrocities unfolding in Gaza, the EU's former chief diplomat Josep Borrell told EUobserver during an interview in Madrid.

What on earth does this have to do with tariffs? This is exhibit 682 of how Trump’s trade policies are about bullying foreign countries on behalf of special interests instead of putting the wellbeing of American workers and the American economy first.

C'est écrit noir sur blanc sur le site de la Maison-Blanche. Le deal conclu entre Trump et VDL va affaiblir les standards sanitaires européens sur les importations de produits agricoles. Les perdants : notre santé et les agriculteurs 🇪🇺

🚨 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐔-𝐔𝐒 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠. At its core is a €700 billion pledge to import U.S. fossil fuels and nuclear energy over the next three years - fundamentally incompatible with the EU’s 2030 climate targets.

In 🇧🇷, the Landless Workers' Movement proves that another agriculture is possible, respectful of small farmers, the environment and consumers' health. The EU-Mercosur deal will only benefit the agro-business and lock both continents in a destructive model. Let's stop this toxic deal.

20 000 camions par jour au port de Santos au Brésil. Seulement 34 inspecteurs sanitaires. Et la Commission 🇪🇺 voudrait nous faire croire qu'avec l'accord UE - Mercosur, ce qui arrivera dans nos assiettes sera sain ? Ils veulent nous empoisonner !

Today in Brussels, hundreds of people gathered to ask for an immediate suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement. EU you can't hide. Act now.

Ahead of tomorrow’s Foreign Affairs Council, the @eurtradejustice.bsky.social sent a letter to EU Vice-President Kaja Kallas, calling for the immediate suspension of the EU-Israel association agreement. Anything less is complicity. Act now. friendsoftheearth.eu/publication/...

The EU-Indonesia trade agreement is a resource-grab deal that perpetuates an unsustainable extractivist model. It will boost the mining industry with terrible environmental and health impacts for Indonesian people.
