⚠️Yesterday @GlobalAktion in Denmark faced a horrifying act of violence. Their office was destroyed in an arson attack.
Thankfully activists and neighbors are safe.
This attack targets their courageous stand for Western Sahara’s freedom.

🚨Over 160 organisations say #NoToOmnibus

We want an EU that leads on the protection of people & planet.

Weakening the #CSDDD, #CSRD & #EUTaxonomy is a betrayal of the EU’s commitments.

The EU must push for accountability, not corporate impunity.

We need to do more on #climatechange, not less.

In her hearing, @Teresaribera came across as a strong defender of the legacy of #EUGreenDeal. Now President @vonderleyen risks undoing it.

We join 160 CSOs & trade unions to say #NoToOmnibus

🚨Plus de 160 organisations de la société civile, syndicats et activistes disent #NoToOmnibus
Nous voulons une UE qui soit exemplaire en matière de protection des humains et de la planète. Affaiblir la #CSDDD, #CSRD & #EUTaxonomy est une trahison faite aux engagements européens.

[StopEACOP @stopEACOP]

The StopEACOP Campaign condemns the recent arrest, mistreatment, and unlawful imprisonment of Ugandan human rights lawyer Eron Kiiza. This is a serious violation of justice, the rule of law, and human rights in Uganda. Read our statement attached. #StopEACOP!

Trump-LNG
Putin-LNG
or questionable Qatari-LNG?

[Friends of the Earth Europe🌍 @foeeurope]

Decisionmakers will discuss hydrogen today as reported in @POLITICOEurope.

How about what the people need instead of "what do industry bosses want from @Teresaribera and @DanJoergensen?"
