What a day to be alive: the EU Council (!) rejected European Parliament controversial amendments to deforestation law one-year postponement, saying they want to stick to the Commission's proposal instead

The same corporations that are complicit in global #deforestation are also attending #COP29 and influencing the talks.

Analysis by @DeSmog shows large numbers of Big Ag lobbyists on the ground in Baku: https://t.co/EFPqA9ZEfY

💡Why the #EUDR amendments voted last week would create more confusion and risky loopholes: https://t.co/QkGNOnWjvL

[The Left in the European Parliament @Left_EU]

Worried about climate change? 🌍

Concerned that our forests are going up in smoke?

Next time you hear of a forest burning, thank these MEPs👇

They voted to delay the deforestation law (#EUDR) and created huge loopholes, allowing corporations to continue destroying forests.

[Giulia Bondi @giuliabond]

The @Europarl_EN agreed to a one-year delay of the #EUDR. But also to include a fourth-category to the risk assessment of countries, that is 'no-risk'. This would simply create further confusion to companies and undermine the objective of the law.

[Greenpeace EU @GreenpeaceEU]

🪓 Between 2022 and 2024, @EPPgroup changed their tune on forests

💥 This is responsible for lots of confusion

✅ We need clear rules to stop #deforestation

❌ That's why MEPs should vote NO to all amendments and NO to any delay on Thursday

🚨This Thursday EU leaders are voting on whether to delay (and possibly weaken) the anti-deforestation law we need NOW!

The #EUDR could be delayed by a year, risking 150,000+ hectares of forest. 🌳

🇪🇺Tell your MEPs and EU reps: Enforce the EUDR NOW! Hands off our forests!

[Global Witness @Global_Witness]

The #EU was about to solve a huge chunk of the global deforestation crisis with a new law. 🌲

Now they're proposing a delay.

Here's why that's a catastrophe for forests, biodiversity, and human rights.

[Global Witness @Global_Witness]

World leaders have agreed to end #deforestation by 2030, yet forests around the world are still being destroyed at staggering rates.

Voluntary schemes aren't working — we need regulations like the EU deforestation law #EUDR now

[Giulia Bondi @giuliabond]

The #EUDR delay could drive #deforestation an area more than 14 times the size of Paris.

This is a slap in the face of European citizens and business who don't want to be complicit with forest destruction and Indigenous communities who risk their lives to defend their lands.

[Global Witness @Global_Witness]

🚨 The @EU_Commission has proposed a delay to its landmark anti-deforestation law, the #EUDR

We've shown that this 12-month delay could unleash #deforestation with carbon emissions equivalent to 188 million long-haul flights ⬇️

Over 170 NGOs are calling on President @vonderleyen to stand by her promise to tackle #deforestation and not cave in to weakening efforts by industry & 🇪🇺govs!

Almost 10 football fields of forest per minute are being lost. Backtracking is not an option.

🌳🔥The evidence is loud and clear: European banks are continuing to finance the destruction of forests around the world to the tune of billions of euros
It’s time for the 🇪🇺 EU to put the brakes on the financial institutions that are destroying the planet

Together with @Germanwatch, @Umwelthilfe, Harvest, @milieudefensie, @OroVerde_GER, @profundoNL and @RAN we looked at the EU's 20 biggest banks 💶and analysed their investments in commodity-driven #deforestation.

The evidence is clear.

The EU🇪🇺 must end this credit chainsaw.

[Global Witness @Global_Witness]

🚨 The 20 biggest banks in the EU are still bankrolling #deforestation to the tune of billions of dollars, according to our new review.

It's time for mandatory rules to stop finance destroying our forests.

Once again, hard-hitting evidence is showing the need for stronger regulatory measures to protect this precious biome.

🍖 The world’s largest meat company, JBS, is getting sued. Again.
🌳 A notorious deforester, as documented in our reports, JBS now stands accused of greenwashing. Again.
💰 So why do major investors including BlackRock and Vanguard continue to back them?
