The EU office of ActionAid: making the voices of people living in poverty heard by policymakers in Brussels, from a feminist, Southern-led lens.

Focused on #climate, #fairfinance, #genderequality, and #migrantrights.
On this International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, ActionAid is raising an important message: fund #feminist futures now.

From Malawi to Ukraine, feminist activists are calling for one thing: long-term, flexible, and accessible funding for women’s rights organisations.

Fossil fuels grabbed the spotlight at #COP30, while the conditions to phase them out – rich countries moving first and backing others – were sidelined.

That’s how climate ambition is turned against those who did least to cause the crisis, and the Paris Agreement is weakened.

At #COP30 the EU poses as champion of a #fossilfuel fuel phase-out.

But it doesn’t need others to move first: it funds it, burns it, banks the profits, then points the finger South.

That’s not climate ambition – it’s demagoguery.

Ahead of the 7th #AUEU2025 Summit in Luanda, civil society from Africa and Europe are calling for a reset of the AU–EU partnership.

Our new joint statement urges leaders to centre equality, just trade, climate justice and debt reform, not profit or extractivism.

🚨 In the final days of #COP30, we need to be very clear:

📣A just transition away from fossil fuels needs public money, and rich countries need to pay their fair share 📣

The COP30 presidency risks derailing the entire negotiations by saying otherwise.

#COP30 ends 3yrs of talks to align 💸 flows with climate goals (Article 2.1c). But 💰 is still going to fossil fuels. Will COP30 be the turning point?

Week two at #COP30, the EU is asking everyone to step up climate action.

But if it won’t step up on fairness – more support for those who did least to cause the crisis – its calls will ring hollow.

No fair share, no real Paris ambition.

🌎 “It’s game on for just transition!”

At #COP30 in Belém, the G77 + China have united to call for a new global mechanism to deliver on just transition, a powerful moment for climate justice.

ActionAid’s new report shows just 3% of climate finance supports just transition. It is time for change.

Today the European Parliament approved its Omnibus I mandate, weakening #CSDDD.

By siding with far-right forces and corporate lobbies, MEPs signal that EU values and the rights of women and communities in the global South are negotiable when they collide with short-term corporate profit.

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.

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.
