🛢️Fossil fuel industry: Gigantic profits
💸Damage they cause? We all pay the bill
💡Solution: Let’s tax big polluters’ profits

➡️Our new study shows taxing fossil profits would not raise consumer prices. Instead, it would reduce shareholder returns, incentivising gradual move of capital to renewables.
🚨 New Report: Taxing fossil fuel profits, not consumers
Taxing fossil fuel industry profits would provide a structural signal to investors, discouraging continued investment in fossil fuel activities and reallocating capital in the energy transition,…

Failing to manage climate mitigation in a just way comes at a high price.

Mass unemployment, rising welfare costs and regional decline are the real risks of an unmanaged transition.

A strong #JustTransition helps protect jobs, reduce inequality and keep regions resilient.

📨 Dear EU Commission,

When the game isn’t going in our favour, it’s tempting to change the rules – but doing so risks losing the trust of the other players.

Adapting Better Regulation to suit a big industry agenda is no different.

🎲 Today 50+ CSOs call for fair play:

BREAKING: European Parliament backs a Just Transition Directive ✅

The EU must equip itself with strong tools to anticipate & manage change while building cohesion.

Its for workers like Rainer that the Commission must now move ahead with a Just Transition Directive as part of the Quality Jobs Act.

Reflecting on #COP30, our SG Stephanny highlights our core mission: putting youth, workers, communities, and science at the center of climate finance and adaptation.

10 years of the #ParisAgreement. The verdict? 🌍

Today, on #HumanRightsDay, we are reminded that human rights are not abstract ideals, but lived realities.

And one whose protection stands urgent is the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment. 🌱

All I want for the holidays is housing we can all afford 💌

Dec 16 the EU unveils a housing plan that could lower rents, cut energy bills & rein in AirBnB rentals.

Until then postcards from across Europe are landing on Dan Jørgensen’s desk.

🇹🇷 It’s official: Turkey will host #COP31!

But wait, weren't Australia & the Pacific Islands the favorites? Here’s the background: for over a year, the WEOG group was locked in a stalemate. With both bids on the table and no consensus, we faced a real risk of the conference defaulting to Bonn.

#COP30 has been evacuated because of a fire in the pavillion areas. YEE delegation is safe!
