🚨 The European Parliament is about to start debating a law that would harm millions across Europe. With 250+ groups we call on EU lawmakers to reject it.

Ten years after Paris, the EU’s climate credibility is on the line.

Equity isn’t moral idealism — it’s the political realism that made Paris possible.

At #COP30 in Belém, 🇪🇺must prove it still believes in that vision — and make it work for everyone

🇪🇺 Just days before #COP30, EU climate ministers agreed a 2040 target of –90 % vs 1990 levels — but with loopholes allowing up to 10 % offsets abroad.

That means Europe will only cut ~85 % at home, paying others to decarbonise on its behalf.

Only 2.8% of #ClimateFinance supports a #JustTransition — that’s $630M out of $22.7B. It is not good enough.

Our new report sets out how finance can actually protect jobs, livelihoods and communities for a just transition.

🔔 Coming 4 Nov.

Our new flagship report ‘Climate Finance for a Just Transition: How the Finance Flows’, drops with the data and solutions to move money where it matters: people, jobs and communities.

🔴 Europe is facing devastating climate impacts, and action can’t wait! Ahead of #COP30, EU ministers at the ENVI Council will decide whether to commit to an ambitious 2040 target or let climate deniers derail progress.

We won’t let climate-deniers rest
Fires rage across Europe – and extremists call climate action “madness.” Our leaders meet this month to decide our future. Tell them: lock in the 90% emissions cut and reject climate rollbacks.

#COP30 in Brazil must be the turning point. The EU & the Global North must own up to their responsibility.

Cross-party cooperation on this #COP30 resolution shows how constructive forces can unite for climate ambition, sidelining far-right denialists.

In this op-ed, however, @actionaidfr.bsky.social reminds that behind its rhetoric on feminist diplomacy, the French government continues to pursue policies that harm women globally:

10 years after Paris — Europe’s biggest diplomatic win — EU risks showing up at #COP30 with words, not leadership.

Europe can still act:
→ Support a Just Transition Mechanism
→ Back tripling adaptation finance by 2030

Not new ambitions — just what’s needed for credibility!
