We marched as part of the climate demo in Dublin on Sat 15th Nov, with hundreds of others. We sent a clear message, during COP, that all sectors, including aviation, need to play their part in a safer climate future. More in our latest newsletter: childrensrightsoverflights.ie/2025/11/18/a...

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

Trócaire's @siobhancurran.bsky.social explains why we need a fossil fuel phase out, and why the Irish government must start putting people and the planet first, not corporations.

As thousands marched to the Dáil on Saturday, the message couldn't be clearer - we need climate justice NOW!

We won strong EU laws against child labour & nature destruction, but Manfred Weber (EPP leader in the EU Parliament) is siding with the far-right to undo it, backed by Sean Kelly (Ireland South MEP) . Tell them to protect our future, not big business. Act now! share.greens-efa.eu/s/RUSRvVhq

The Trump admin is might remove anti-corruption #sanctions on mining magnate Dan Gertler, write John Prendergast and Sasha Lezhnev.

The authors say the move would significantly undermine U.S. efforts to broker peace in the DRC and access critical minerals:

You pay fuel duty. Why don’t billionaires?

This week, we launched WeWingAnyCar.com to help you qualify for the same tax breaks that private jets get.

Because tax loopholes shouldn’t just be for billionaires.

They’re for everyone.
