〰️ DEMOCRATIC JENGA

After weeks of backroom talks on key green laws, MEPs have shown their hand. The centre is sidelined and the right has teamed up with the far-right to weaken core corporate responsibility rules.

The EU tower is wobbling - and unlike in the game, the stakes are very real.
Rooted in outdated priorities, EU agricultural policy is unfit for today’s challenges. Let's change it.

Tune in live to this @socialistsanddemocrats.eu event and to hear from our very own Celia Nyssens and discover a shared vision for a post-2027 CAP🎥👇 www.youtube.com/live/49Mq3ED...

Countries are still failing to commit to strong climate targets, while fossil fuel emissions hit record highs.

This level of warming would breach Paris Agreement limits and unleash a new era of extreme weather and global hardship.

🌱 How does biodiversity fuel wellbeing?

A Finnish kindergarten experiment shows that kids playing in mud, moss & wild plants see striking results: stronger immune systems, happier moods, and a real-life lesson in nature’s power. 🌿

🚨 EU lawmakers resisted far-right attacks on the 2040 climate target – but political compromises are undercutting action.

Delaying the new EU carbon price for heating and transport fuels (ETS2) weakens emissions cuts and slashes support for households.

Promising! But can it deliver?

🗼 TEN YEARS AFTER PARIS
Some weeks feel like years, don’t they? Ever get the sense the world is spinning faster than your brain can process?

Ten years ago this month, the Paris Agreement reshaped global climate politics, bringing climate change into our media, our policies, our everyday lives.

While the Global South faces floods, droughts, and deforestation, Exxon spread confusion instead of solutions.

A deliberate campaign to delay climate action, protect profits, and undermine cooperation.

It’s time to hold Big Oil accountable.

EU funding for agriculture should help the planet, not harm it 💶

This ruling marks a milestone for environmental accountability in the EU 🎉

EU climate policy needs clarity, not compromise

Tomorrow EU governments decide their demands for the #2040target. We need at least a 90% net emissions cut, not hesitation or accounting tricks ❌

If the EU wants to see global #ClimateAction it must lead the way, or risks losing credibility at #COP30
