There is absolutely a path to 100% renewable energy – the technology already exists, and is getting better (and cheaper!) every year

What's missing is the political will from governments and the EU to fully plan an end to fossil fuels, insulate and cut energy waste, and go full-tilt for renewables

Activists have been blocking the liquified gas port in Zeebrugge for 24 hours now, protesting the EU's imports of Russian gas, demanding that these aren't replaced with gas from the US

Getting the EU off fossil fuels is essential not only for the climate crisis, but for peace too

Dr Jane Goodall’s legacy is not only in science, but in the global movement she helped spark to protect nature and give hope for a better world

We must honour this legacy by continuing the fight to protect the world's forests

Zeebrugge is a major port for liquified fossil gas entering the EU – a huge amount comes from Russia, funding the war on Ukraine

Still happening!

Greenpeace activists have blocked the liquified gas terminal in Zeebrugge ALL NIGHT, tankers carrying gas from Putin and Trump can't get in

The EU must break free from fossil fuels that are funding war, driving the climate crisis, ruining our air and pushing up people's bills

EU reliance on Russian gas is funding the war in Ukraine and jeopardising peace in Europe. Gas imports from Russia must end now – but replacing Russian gas with fracked gas from the US keeps Europe trapped in dangerous dependencies

The EU must replace fossil fuels with renewables and energy savings

Happening right now: Greenpeace activists are blocking the liquified gas terminal at Zeebrugge, Belgium in protest at the EU's imports of Putin's and Trump's gas

The EU's gas dependency has bankrolled Putin's war – the EU must fully phase out fossil fuels, not swap for imports from another bully

Authoritarians, billionaires, corporate bullies and big polluters want us divided and silent.

We choose unity, courage and resistance.

The world we need is built by people who refuse to look away.

💥 Europe is still fuelling Putin’s war while locking itself into Trump’s fracked gas. Billions flow to Russia and the US instead of protecting people and the planet. Here’s what a new report by Greenpeace BE reveals🧵

This week, EU leaders chose to destroy the world's forests

1️⃣ Delaying the EU deforestation law, again
2️⃣ Rejecting rules for monitoring forest health
3️⃣ Going to the UN without a climate target
4️⃣ Signing a free trade deal with Indonesia

Here's a thread of what to expect thanks to these choices:
