Louisiana is not only a picturesque touristic destination, it is also a global epicentre for the #fossilfuel and #petrochemical industry ! @hrw's partner Joy Banner calls on MEPs "not to give up on CSDDD"

The US fossil fuel industry is using the EU-US trade deal to undermine an EU law requiring companies to reduce their climate impacts and tackle corporate abuses worldwide.

European parliamentarians should fight back:

[Jim Wormington @jwormington]

Most people want a livable planet and fair treatment from businesses.

European parliamentarians should resist corporate lobbying against a law that requires businesses to tackle climate change and address their role in human rights abuses.

#COP29 has been labeled the "finance COP" because states are discussing a critical element of the climate crisis — how to fund efforts to address it.

10 years ago, the 2019 Sakharov Prize laureate - Ilham Tohti - was arbitrarily sentenced to life imprisonment by the Chinese regime for defending the rights of Uighurs.

As President of @EP_HumanRights, I would like to express my full solidarity to Ilham Tohti and his family.

👏We welcome the UN’s panel on transition minerals for anchoring #HumanRights & #IndigenousPeoples' rights in mineral supply chains!

📢We now need strong collective action to put these ambitions into practice.

Read the joint CSO recommendations 👉https://t.co/NA8DQHob2t

[Jim Wormington @jwormington]

The new UN principles on energy transition minerals developed by an UNSG Panel make clear: "human rights must be at the core" of mineral supply chains.

Now, governments to walk the talk to ensure a truly just transition from fossil fuels!

This is a significant first win for bereaved #Tanzania families who are bravely challenging London's gold market. Well done to the lawyers @leighdayintl. The LBMA's claims that its #gold is "responsibly sourced" need to be put under scrutiny. @lbmaexecutive #ESG

Ahead of the 39th #EU-#China human rights dialogue, NGOs sent one single message to @eu_eeas: don't do it.

End this charade. Pursue other, more appropriate and effective tools to address CCP crimes: https://t.co/MIebTh4abV

EU to impose duties on Chinese EVs -

• BYD: 17.4%;

• Geely: 20%; and

• SAIC: 38.1%

• Other BEV producers in China, "which cooperated in the investigation but have not been sampled, would be subject to the following weighted average duty: 21%."

Abuse + exploitation in global value chains affect millions of people.

But there is hope: today, the EU voted for a groundbreaking law that obliges companies to respect human rights & environment in their global value chains.
