The EU-Mercosur trade deal is a threat to the climate, to forests, to workers and to your health

Not only that but the way the Commission is pushing the deal through is anti-democratic and undermines rule of law

National parliaments will be sidelined so MEPs must #StopEUMercosur!
Protesta en Madrid: Pedro Sánchez y Luis Planas reciben un baño de pesticidas, para denunciar el acuerdo UE-MERCOSUR que alimentará el colapso climático, el comercio de sustancias tóxicas y la injusticia social. Más info en: es.greenpeace.org/es/sala-de-p...

The point of all these COPs is to stimulate action on climate change

Action on climate change means ending the burning of fossil fuels
