SUVs are a significant part of the climate crisis. It is time to take back our streets. My letter in today’s Irish Times.

Putin bombs Kyiv while keeping up the pretence of negotiations, killing at least 12 civilians. Real peace requires Ukraine at the table, stronger sanctions on Russia, and no compromise on Ukraine’s territorial integrity. We stand firmly with Ukraine.

We have called for the European Union to respond urgently to the ongoing Russian attacks on Ukraine with more sanctions, and the acceleration of negotiations for Ukraine’s integration into the EU. europeangreens.eu/news/killings-…

No Ukrainian land to Russia. Donetsk is Ukraine, Luhansk is Ukraine, Crimea is Ukraine. The EU must continue to support Ukraine against Russia and Putin’s ruthless campaign. We will not bow down to the Russian threat. Ukraine’s security is Europe’s security.

🌻Congrats to the new co-leaders of the Scottish Greens: Gillian Mackay MSP & Ross Greer. Together, they will keep fighting for social and economic equality, fairness and a more sustainable future. 💚Thank you to the outgoing leaders Lorna Slater & Patrick Harvie 🇪🇺🌈.

Let. Humanitarian aid. In. Denying humanitarian aid is part of the genocide against the Palestinian people. It is a war crime. We stand with the Global Sumud Flotilla & all the activists on board as they attempt to deliver aid to Gaza. They must be afforded safe passage.

Over 800 people were killed and more than 1,500 were injured in an earthquake in Afghanistan. Some villages have been totally destroyed. Our thoughts are with all who are affected by this deadly event. theguardian.com/world/video/20…

The International Energy Agency is predicting that by 2026, renewables will be the top source of electricity in the world! Thanks to a reduction of use of coal in the EU & China AND a shift to wind and solar. ♻️ We will continue pushing for an energy mix relying 100% on renewable sources.

🌻Congrats to Zack Polanski on being elected new leader of The Green Party. Under Zack's leadership, The Green Party will continue to represent marginalised voices and be a strong voice for our environment. 💚Thank you to the outgoing leaders Carla Denyer & Adrian Ramsay MP

Our MEP Benedetta Scuderi will join the Global Sumud Flotilla flotilla in a few days from Sicily. Many boats are now sailing towards #Gaza to break #Israel’s unlawful siege and open a corridor for food, water and medicine. We stand with this act of courage for dignity, justice, and life.

Enes Hocaoğulları was arrest early August because he spoke out against police violence & the arrest of elected mayors in Türkiye. We call for the unconditional release of Enes Hocaoğulları. Freedom of expression is essential to democracy. #FreeEnes

We are extremely sad to hear about the Glória funicular crash in Lisbon, Portugal. We send our deep condolences to the victims and their families and wish the injured a speedy recovery. An independent investigation is now urgently needed in order to prevent future tragedies.

The Green Party in Norway is offering a progressive future, with a strong Green voice that will: ❌ Phase out fossil fuels 🌳 Protect nature 🏠 Fight poverty 💚 Good luck to Miljøpartiet De Grønne (MDG)! 🗳️And to our friends in Norway: go and vote on 8 September.

Putin needs to get out of Ukraine, then the war is over. Anything else is just a pause not peace. A conversation with joanna.kaminska, political mediator for the European Parliament and committee member of the European Greens.

We stand with Zeleno-levi front & with the Serbian people as they protest Vučić’s autocracy. The people are demanding change, a more democratic governance. It is horrifying that they are met with violence and beatings.

"The situation in Serbia cannot be treated as business as usual. The EU must firmly demand an end to violence against civilians and journalists, and insist on early, free, and fair elections.” - Vula Tsetsi, our co-chair

Najviši zvaničnici Evropske zelene partije European Greens - kopredsednica Vula Tsetsi i poslanik Evropskog parlamenta Razmus Nordkvist, koji je član komiteta EGP, danas su u Beogradu pružili snažnu i nedvosmislenu podršku građanima Srbije u borbi za slobodu, a protiv represije

"With our Serbian member party, Zeleno-Levi Front, we stand proudly with the students who are turning this civic energy into a real democratic alternative for Serbia" Read more from Vula Tsetsi here: europeangreens.eu/news/the-europ…

We are with the students of Serbia who stand for democracy, against autocracy and police repression. Twice university officials have let police in to remove the students, twice freedom of expression has been curtailed. 🌻Zeleno-levi front
