The climate crisis is not a natural disaster... It is the result of an economic model that 🚨 extracts & exploits natural resources and 🚨 prioritises corporate profit over people & the environment Time to hold the leaders & profiteers of said model accountable ⬇️ UN #BindingTreaty #CheckMate

BREAKING: @greenpeace.be climbers are on the roof of the European Parliament in Brussels, protesting the EU's dependence on dirty, expensive fossil fuels Burning gas ruins Europe – it fuels the climate crisis, and financially ruins households with sky-high energy bills

This year could be a big year for a treaty that could deliver justice for communities who have been affected by corporate harm! ⬇️ UN #BindingTreaty

There is no place for a gas giant at a climate event ✊ And still, today’s “Energy Day” at the Brussels Climate Week has ENGIE as the main sponsor. We started our day there to call for a ban on fossil fuel sponsorships on climate events like this one.

This week is huge for anyone who has either faced or worked on holding big corporations to account for human rights abuses & environmental damage. The #BindingTreaty on transnational corporations & #HumanRights is being negotiated at the UN this week! More by Letícia Paranhos, @foeint.bsky.social

Total has built a neocolonial empire around the extraction of fossil fuels That's why movements and orgs like FoEI, JA!/FoE Mozambique, @amisdelaterre.org and those on the frontlines of corporate power are calling for a #BindingTreaty on transnational corporations and #HumanRights bit.ly/4ibdbvl

Total and its colonial legacy face resistance worldwide

Yesterday, 45.000 people came together in the streets of Brussels to demand MORE climate action from politicians and governments, not less! This speech by Winnie from @milieudefensie.bsky.social sums up the reason for being out quite neatly 👀 #LetsLeaveFossilFuelsTogether #CLIMATEMARCH26

Last Saturday in France, people mobilised massively against pesticide giant Syngenta. Our campaigner was there & came back with a reminder: connection matters. Our work in Brussels isn't abstract, it’s about people’s lives. Yes, this post is about hope 👉 foeeurope.substack.com/p/what-a-his...

Can’t say we are shocked, sadly. We’ve seen this before: industry ghostwriting EU Commission proposals to serve its own interests (remember the new GMOs deregulation plan?). But this can be a turning point. Let’s make it the final straw, and demand better for our health, for farmers, for nature!

Plusieurs milliers de personnes ont manifesté samedi 3 octobre dans l’Eure près d’une usine de Syngenta, leader mondial du secteur, pour demander la sortie des pesticides et installer cet enjeu dans les débats de la campagne présidentielle.

Solutions exist: stronger antitrust rules, public procurement for family farming & agroecology, firewalls between agribusiness lobbyists & policymakers. What’s missing is the collective power and political courage to deploy them. More insight & inspo in the new Agribusiness Atlas 👇

Today EU Member States have chosen to weaken our safeguards against pesticides, despite repeated warnings from scientists, public health experts & civil society. 🛑 Now up to MEPS to stand for the public interest and finally stop this rollback. How to give them a nudge 👉 lnkd.in/ePPGXUtR

Launch of Agribusiness Atlas @boelleu.bsky.social @boelleu.bsky.social 🗣️@rajpatel.org: Int'l markets - fertilisers, seed, food processing, retailers - are extremely concentrated.
