Real Zero Europe

Campaign for real solutions, real emissions cuts and Real Zero in Europe.

[Real Zero Europe @RealZeroEurope]

Net Zero ≠ Real Climate Action

📢 Across Europe, campaigners are calling out the failures of the net-zero agenda — and demanding a Real Zero approach instead.

👉 Real Zero means cutting emissions at the source, ending #FossilFuels, and investing in real climate solutions.

Major #FossilFuel companies stand to gain billions:
🛢️ Equinor – 14 projects receiving €2.7B
🔥 Shell – 12 projects receiving €5B

While public funds are being funneled to corporations, real climate solutions are sidelined!

‼️ Today, the #ICMForum kicks off in Athens, Greece.

Hosted by the EU Commission, decision-makers will hear from fossil lobbyists on scaling up Carbon Capture and Storage ( #CCS ) — a technofix proven to fail!

🧵👇

[Real Zero Europe @RealZeroEurope]

👉 #CCS allows polluters to keep polluting at massive public cost.

A new analysis from @PriceofOil & @corporateeurope reveals how billions in EU subsidies are propping up fossil companies instead of tackling the #ClimateCrisis.

📣 BREAKING

At least 531 lobbyists for groups that advocate for a misguided technology that prolongs #FossilFuel use (aka Carbon Capture & Storage #CCS) have gained access to the #COP30 climate talks.

💨 On top of this @ciel_tweets found that 531 #CCS lobbyists also have access to #COP30!

This shows how the fossil fuel industry is pushing #FalseSolutions, trying to lock in more extraction and delaying #ClimateAction & the phase-out of #FossilFuels 👇

[Real Zero Europe @RealZeroEurope]

🔴 Once again, a huge number of fossil fuel lobbyists are participating in climate talks.

A new analysis from #KickBigPollutersOut found that more than 1,600 fossil fuel lobbyists have been granted access to #COP30 👇

🫣 Only #Brazil — the host country — has a bigger presence than oil, gas and coal interests.

👉 If we want real #ClimateAction, climate negotiations must put people and the planet before #FossilFuel profits.

🔴 A Climate Law for Polluters, Confirmed.

Europe’s new 2040 #ClimateTarget locks in loopholes, not real climate action.

Offsets, carbon removals, and review clauses won’t phase out fossil fuels — they just buy time for polluters.

📢 We need to move beyond #NetZero — and take meaningful steps toward Real Zero!

🇪🇺 In the next few weeks, the EU is set to finalise the new 2040 #ClimateTargets.

❌ But the proposal sticks to the #NetZero playbook, relying on international #offsets and #CarbonRemovals instead of real emissions cuts.

[Real Zero Europe @RealZeroEurope]

👉In July the EU proposed a new 2040 climate target – 90% emissions reduction vs. 1990 levels.

But behind the big headline lies a dangerous loophole. By relying on international #CarbonCredits & unproven #CarbonRemovals the proposal risks becoming a free pass for polluters👇

📢 That’s why nearly 90 organizations signed our statement: “No to a Climate Law for Polluters!”

👉 We’re urging the EU to adopt a #ClimateLaw that truly reflects its responsibility for the climate crisis.

🤔 What’s the real impact of the EU’s #2040 climate target loophole?

@oekoinstitut's brief shows that using 3% international carbon offsets means "the EU’s 2040 net emissions would be 30% higher than if the target were achieved domestically."

[Real Zero Europe @RealZeroEurope]

In the last weeks, almost 90 organisations from Europe and beyond signed our statement urging the EU to:
❌ reject international carbon offsetting
❌ oppose harmful Carbon Dioxide Removals (#CDR) ✅ commit to a just and full fossil fuel phase-out
