"Instead of pursuing a comprehensive and just transition to socially and environmentally sustainable food systems, public authorities continue to resort to short-term concessions to powerful agribusiness and food industry lobbies. This cannot go on."

🔴 #EU policymakers have failed to put an end to the #CarbonOffsets gamble with the #CRCF, rubberstamping a plethora of #FalseSolutions! We demand #RealZero solutions, and call on EU policymakers to reject the negotiation result! Read more below👇 1/3

The #EU has a huge historical responsibility to support a #JustTransition for the Global South while cutting emissions down to #RealZero at home! But the #CRCF is exposing once again its hypocrisy! 📢 Already in 2021, 200+ orgs signed our statement👇 realzeroeurope.org/#our-statement

Last night's provisional agreement on the Carbon Removal Certification Framework has failed to rule out #offsetting. It sets a problematic precedent on the international stage. The EU must reject the draft #CRCF Regulation!

The @eu_commission’s proposal to remove basic environmental conditions in the #CAP is anti-democratic & feeds the false narrative that we must pick between environment or agriculture. We urge Ursula von der Leyen to withdraw the proposal. Read the joint statement: clientearth.org/latest/documen…

🗳️Today, European Parliament prioritized short-term political gains over farmers & the planet by stripping #CAP of environmental ambitions. Farmers call for fair revenues, instead the EU slashes vital sustainability rules, favoring big polluters. #EUFarm2Fork 👉 bit.ly/3JBrmc5

In a little over a month, the EU has pushed through a major reform of the #CAP, without democratic debate, that goes against ❌scientific evidence ❌the needs of many farmers 🚨And caters only to the self-serving interests of agricultural industry! 🤯👉 eeb.org/fast-and-loose…

In April, the European Parliament approved the EU’s new Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF). Our latest from Sophie Louise Scherger unpacks how the legislation will weaken climate action in Europe. 👇 iatp.org/unpacking-eu-c…

New from IATP Europe: As the dust settles on the EU Parliamentary elections, it is clear European voters are frustrated with the status quo. The EU Strategic Agenda for 2024-29 must support a resilient food system based on fair prices for good food. 👇iatp.org/setting-strate…

The EU’s new Carbon Removal Certification Framework expands the definition of carbon removals to include carbon temporarily sequestered in farmlands. The CRCF doubles down on an offset-based strategy while weakening real climate action. iatp.org/unpacking-eu-c…

The EU’s leaked draft Strategic Agenda drops climate change as a priority and only includes a single sentence reference to food & farm systems. But transformative action to address climate and agriculture in the EU can’t be delayed any longer. iatp.org/setting-strate…

"In short, the EU’s Strategic Agenda for 2024-29 should support a resilient food system based on fair prices for good food" iatp.org/setting-strate… - #FarmtoFork may have flopped but the problems it addressed just get worse. Time for a redo, this time with fair prices included

Great new report from Changing Markets Foundation on the #NewMerchantsOfDoubt. Why have big meat & dairy companies escaped regulation despite being major drivers of the climate crisis? Big Ag lobbyists have followed a very successful playbook to block climate action. changingmarkets.org/report/the-new…
