RESS RELEASE: The richest 1% have burned through their entire annual carbon limit in just 10 days.

This alarming milestone, dubbed #PollutocratDay by @Oxfam, underscores how climate breakdown is disproportionately driven by the super-rich.

The catastrophe in Gaza is nothing short of a complete breakdown of our common humanity.

The nightmare must stop.

We cannot continue to look away.

1/2 Today, as every day, our thoughts are with the people in Gaza, who have been victims of merciless brutalities, massacres and destruction over the past year. FoEE condemns the crimes committed by Israel in Gaza and the West Bank.

[ReCommon @Recommon]

🔴 Eni has pressed charges against @atricarico72 of ReCommon for defamation in relation to statements he made during the RAI programme @reportrai3 on air last 5th of May.

The accusation against Tricarico appears to be yet another attempt to silence an uncomfortable voice, which also follows the recent lawsuit that Eni has filed against ReCommon and @Greenpeace_ITA.

During the tv programme, Tricarico had highlighted the overlap in the timing of Eni's awarding of the licence to develop the Zohr gas field in 🇪🇬 and the dramatic Regeni affair.

A fact-based assertion, which was widely supported again in RAI programme Report on 17th of November, in which confidential Eni documents reiterated Tricarico's assertion.

"Today's ruling once again lays down the challenge for decisionmakers to end the fossil fuel era. Oil & gas companies will resist their responsibilities to the end. They need to realise that there's no future in their business." @ColinRoche

The EU has a clear role to play here❗️

[Fossil Free Parliament @MP_FossilFree]

🚨 BREAKING: 145 civil society groups have called on @Ed_Miliband to lock fossil fuel lobbyists out of the UK’s delegation to COP29.

Big polluters should have no place at the year’s most critical climate talks ⬇️⬇️

[Fossil Free Politics @FossilFreeEU]

We and 111 other organisations sent an open letter to EU climate chief @WBHoekstra with a simple request: don't bring fossil fuel lobbyists to the COP this year.

Renovating the current housing stock is a key measure for addressing energy poverty, a priority outlined in your Mission Letter...

But renovations are not explicitly mentioned⁉️🧐

One of the largest Big Oil companies in the U.S. @EnergyTransfer is trying to shut us down with a $300 million SLAPP lawsuit.

In an absurd move, ExxonMobil sues the Dutch government over closed oil fields using the climate wrecking Energy Charter Treaty. Paul de Clerck tells @euronews that the claim for “massive compensation … shows how ruthless the company is”.

“It also illustrates clearly again that the Energy Charter Treaty is being used by fossil fuel companies to undermine the energy transition and phase out of fossil fuels”
