⏰ Two years on, the EU Methane Regulation is under growing pressure just as it starts delivering results. Now is the time for full and timely implementation, not backtracking. 🔍 Through the European Civil Society Observatory on Methane, we'll keep tracking progress: timeforch4nge.org/cso-m/

Extreme heat has turned energy poverty into a summer challenge for millions of households. Making buildings more energy efficient doesn't only reduce emissions—it also helps create healthier, cooler homes and supports those most affected by rising temperatures. 🏠☀️ #BuildBetterLives #ClimateImpacts

SIGN A PETITION calling on governments and EU policymakers to stop delaying and weakening ETS2 ✍️https://life-effect.org/petition/ 🛢It's time to stop protecting fossil fuel interests and strengthen the system's social ambition. @carbonmarketwatch.bsky.social

Sometimes the impacts of climate change appear in the most ordinary moments. 🌡️A phone overheating during a summer day is a reminder that rising temperatures are already affecting everyday life. Investing in nature-based solutions can help make our cities cooler and more resilient. #ClimateImpacts

We stand in solidarity with everyone affected by the devastating wildfires in Spain, France & rest of Europe. Together, we call for stronger wildfire prevention, climate-adapted forest management, robust emergency and protection plans, adequate staffing & fair working conditions for firefighters.

🔥 As heatwaves become more frequent and intense across Europe, better homes are becoming more important than ever. In Spain, the story of the Poblado Dirigido de Orcasitas shows that successful renovation starts long before construction begins. 1/4🧵👇 #BuildBetterLives

Heatwaves are devastating Europe's nature and our daily lives and livelihoods. As the EU Parliament debates the EU's response to heatwaves, the first step should be making fossil fuels pay. How? By commiting to a fossil fuel exit plan and taxing the fossil fuel industry's excess profits✊

🚨The EU needs to quit fossil gas 🚨 With a coalition of over 40 civil society organisations, we are urging the EU for a fossil gas exit strategy, with annual binding gas demand reduction targets of 7-8%, an end to LNG imports, and strong enforcement of the EU methane rules 👉https://l1nq.com/iyvry3r

🌲🌲How can forests support EU goals on climate, health and livelihoods? ➡️The solutions are already there. Now we need to make sure the political will is there too. 🎯Strong enforcement of key EU legislation is key to make our forests more resilient and achieve our climate goals.

🏔️ The polluting industries might be loud with their ETS attacks but it is the masses that can move the mountains. 📢 We have that MASS supporting the ETS - across Europe! ➡️ 72% of Europeans say that companies emitting the most or failing to reduce their emissions should pay more than others.

Seven in ten across Europe say biggest polluters and climate laggards should pay more, challenging rollback of EU ETS 

Despite the continues attacks from the polluting industries, new data shows that European citizens want to stay the course on EU ETS.

🚨 EU's Better Regulation framework risks turning into the very opposite of better regulation. We, together 50+ orgs, trade unions & groups, call for better protection of comprehensive impact assessments, social cohesion, public health, transparent participation & our fundamental rights.

Open letter: A slide away from better regulation, not progress towards it

The undersigned believe, that the Commission is now taking steps that are unacceptable from a democratic perspective, not in line with the EU’s civil society strategy, and create a hierarchy of stakeholders, as they confer advantages on companies at the expense of the public and the economy as a whole.
