I have a question for the next President of the European Commission #MaastrichtDebate #FitForFutureGenerations

Great news for the climate and clean air!

The EU Parliament just voted to get the EU out of the #EnergyCharterTreaty – secret corporate courts & special protections for fossil fuel investors to block climate action

This shows that protests work! #noECT #exitECT #stopISDS

Farmers are going out of business at an alarming rate

Big agri business are pushing politicians to scrap nature protection – but this won't really help farmers

Farmers are squeezed by low prices for their produce and high prices for their supplies, politicians must address this

Austerity is back to wreck the green transition as MEPs endorse new debt rules

'By choosing austerity, Europe’s politicians are choosing climate chaos and nature destruction.' - Ariadna Rodrigo

Hi Eamon Ryan,

The climate crisis *IS* 'a real and immediate threat to life caused by an act or omission of a state'

Excess death toll from heat alone in Europe was 70,000 in 2022, probably higher in 2023

If governments won't act, courts must make them

Experts say the UN Food and Agriculture Organization seriously distorted their research, in a flagship report on #livestock emissions. 'Multiple, egregious and conceptual errors' served to reduce the climate potential of shifts to plant-based diets, says Matthew Hayek. Story by me: theguardian.com/environment/20…

A stronger EU single market depends on high environmental, social & health standards, not a race to the bottom

Latest competitiveness fixation at #EUCO summit is no miracle cure for existential challenges facing people, like floods, droughts or poverty

Not for the first time, government leaders at #EUCO are spinning competitiveness as a miracle cure

The reality: it has little to do with improving people's lives and a lot to do with big business profit margins at the expense of nature & living standards

One year ago we took the EU to court, challenging the decision to label gas and nuclear as 'GREEN' in the #EUTaxonomy

The EU risks diverting money away from real solutions like wind and solar

Big business is pulling the strings of this #EUCO summit, with the latest EU competitiveness plan to trash nature & living standards in the name of profit margins

The fossil fuel industry would go to extreme lengths to cast doubt on the #ClimateCrisis and delay meaningful action.

Watch out for the tactics they use to protect their interests and profits at the expense of the people and the planet.
