🆕 The European Commission wants more private #pensions - but this means more risk for people, more #inequality, and a path toward pension privatisation.

Europe’s social model should be strengthened, not financialised.

The #digitaleuro is NOT just a payment system!
When MEP Navarrete in ECON highlighted the digital euro’s goal is only 'payment sovereignty,' a crucial point was missed. The digital euro is PUBLIC money, a public good private firms can't issue. 👇

- Make energy investments cheaper through lower rates.
- Support public funding.
- Protect people from unfair energy costs.

Europe’s energy future depends on bold action - not just words.

ECB President Lagarde says renewables are Europe’s best path to secure, sustainable and affordable energy. 🌍

She’s right - but the @ecb.europa.eu must walk its talk and use its tools to steer finance toward that goal.

💥The IEA’s #Renewables 2025 report is out, mapping #energy transition up until 2030.
On the same day, Ember reported that renewables generated more electricity than coal for the 1st time in 2025.

💡Here in the slides is what you should know. Renewable leadership can become economic strength!

EU failed to agree on binding 2035 #climate targets ahead of UN summit, but climate reality won't wait for political consensus.

Clean tech isn't just green necessity, but could be a competitive advantage and deflationary force for the long term. 🌍⚡️

💬 “Inclusion must be more than a principle - it must translate into practical steps.”

At the European Parliament, @ecb.europa.eu's Cipollone said the #DigitalEuro must work for everyone - with adaptive features, a dedicated app & local support so no one is left behind. 👇

Cash is king 👑, but in a digital world we need a #DigitalEuro too.

It means: access to public money online, privacy, inclusion & a future-proof euro.

Without it, payments risk being controlled by Big Tech & foreign platforms.

🔥 June 2025 was Western Europe’s hottest ever, with temps over 40 °C, deadly wildfires & 2,300+ heat-related deaths.

Yet big banks still fund fossil fuels for short-term profit.
It’s time public institutions stepped up.

Money is a public good. But with online-only payments increasing and ATMs closing, access to cash is at risk.

Digitalisation shouldn’t just empower private banks and card companies. We need:

💶Protected access to cash
💶A digital euro

🌡️ Heatwaves are a systemic crisis, worsened by #climatechange - and affecting not just lives, but also the economy.

On Euronews, our Senior Policy Manager Laura Casonato called for a joined-up, institutional response.

🔴 Headlines scream: Trump and #Tariffs.

With 30% US tariffs looming and threats of escalation, our Senior Policy Manager spoke on @euronews.com about the cost of Trump’s unpredictability - and why the #EU must not feed his confrontational logic.

This week in the EU Parliament's ECON committee, MEP @eeroheinaluoma.bsky.social (S&D) rightly stressed that sustainability risks - like climate & nature risks - must be central to financial stability. 🌍

We fully support this. Ignoring these risks = ignoring systemic threats to the EU economy. 👇 🎥

Europe is sweltering under a #heatwave this week, with temperatures hitting over 40°C in some places. 🥵 These extreme weather events come with big costs.

A 🧵 on how heat hits our lives and our economy 👇

📢 Today, the @ecb.europa.eu published its assessment of its monetary policy strategy.

While it reaffirms past changes, this was a missed opportunity to better align monetary policy with today’s biggest challenges. 🔎 Read our full reaction on our website: positivemoney.org/eu/press-rel...

🔁 The ECB should shift its asset purchases away from climate-damaging firms and towards those driving the green transition.
June 30, 2025 at 8:26 AM
🛑 Right now, banks can hand over assets from oil & gas giants as collateral - and still get ECB money.

That’s public support for polluters. It’s time to cut that off.
June 30, 2025 at 8:26 AM
✅ Offer long-term loans with a lower interest rate for banks that finance green projects, like renewable energy and energy efficiency. Incentivise the green transition, don’t just talk about it.
June 30, 2025 at 8:26 AM
🏦 This week, the @ecb.europa.eu is hosting its #CentralBankingForum in Sintra - today, it's announcing the conclusions of the strategy assessment.

But while they talk about economic stability, we’re asking a simple question:
How can there be financial stability on a planet in crisis? 👇🧵
June 30, 2025 at 8:26 AM
[1/2] Good news: The @ecb.europa.eu keeps making progress in integrating #climate and #nature into its work 👍

Also great that the carbon pollution in its bond portfolio is going down.
