Mélinda Martins represented YEE at the Pan-European Climate Resilience Summit in Vienna. 🌍 She shared how youth networks are key to driving climate action.

It's incredibly inspiring to see science, policy, and youth voices unite for a common goal. We're so proud of her!

The struggle for a livable planet is inseparable from the struggle for human rights and dignity.

As climate advocates, we cannot be neutral in the face of genocide and systemic oppression. We stand with Palestine and denounce attacks on civic space and youth voices across Europe. Justice and liberation are essential to climate justice.

The ICJ’s decision on July 23 can redefine international obligations, making it clear that polluters cannot evade responsibility.

It will mark a turning point where legal clarity can push for systemic change and for the protection of future generations.

No more empty promises. Time to pay what's owed! The ICJ can help shift the cost from frontline nations to fossil fuel giants.

Una de las tendencias más preocupantes son las SLAPP (demandas estratégicas contra la participación pública): un arma jurídica utilizada por grandes empresas para silenciar y desgastar a activistas, periodistas y organizaciones ambientales, sociales o económicas

El juicio del siglo contra Greenpeace y el derecho a la protesta
El juicio contra Energy Transfer arranca hoy, 2 de julio, en los Países Bajos, donde Greenpeace busca justicia invocando por primera vez la nueva Directiva anti-SLAPP de la UE.

What if the Grand Duchess Charlotte had been silenced? 🤐
This morning, we gagged the statue of the Grand Duchess Charlotte to denounce the growing number of SLAPPs – abusive lawsuits used to silence us.
📣 We stand with all those fighting for democracy across Europe today.

During the conference, they explored human-wolf coexistence.

They highlighted how vital youth perspectives are in shaping long-term conservation strategies.

📉 Only 50% of #EUNECP policies and measures align with needed emissions cuts in key sectors like transport & buildings.
📊 Most lack funding plans.

The climate, pollution & biodiversity crisis is harming our health, says Denis Fernando of @friends-earth.bsky.social

At next week's @coe.int meeting, Ministers must support a binding instrument legally protecting the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll - foundational to all human rights!

A liveable future for young people & children is a right, not a luxury!

As CRIN's Niamh Purcell says, legal protection of the right to a healthy environment would prove the @coe.int is serious about youth & climate justice.

Ministers in Luxembourg, we count on your allyship!

"It’s outrageous that in 2025, Europe still hasn’t legally recognized the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll as a basic human right."

Today, @coe.int46 member states missed again a key opportunity to legally protect this important right in Europe.

1/2 Activists from Greenpeace, ASTM, and Fairtrade Lëtzebuerg gathered outside the European Convention Center in Luxembourg to demand the right to a healthy environment for all. 🌍✊

States must act now in a global environmental crisis.

Former UN Rapporteur @drdavidboyd.bsky.social urges @coe.int Ministers meeting in Luxembourg to start negotiating a binding instrument on the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll.

You've backed it at the UN, now make it real for Europe!

In East Serbia, communities like Bor face water pollution and barren landscapes while mining profits take priority.

The @coe.int must legally protect the right to a healthy environment to guarantee the rights of people like student Dejan!

No one should have to fight for clean air, safe water & a healthy planet!

We fully agree with Aurora Floridia, Senator and member of @pace.coe.int.

It’s time @coe.int Ministers commit to making a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll an enforceable right through a binding instrument!

MAJOR VICTORY!

The Norwegian Supreme Court has ruled in favour of @greenpeace.no and @naturogungdom.bsky.social against the Norwegian State!

Three illegal oil and gas fields were approved them without assessing their global climate impact - and must be shut down immediately.

Thank you, Aurora Floridia, for your support for the legal protection of the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll at the @coe.int!
@pace.coe.int members are once again showing leadership on this crucial issue.
Ministers must do the same at their May meeting - time to act NOW & recognise the right!
