The Amazon is reaching a dangerous tipping point.💔 Deforestation is heating our planet, drying up rainfall, and putting millions of lives at risk.

This year, with #COP30 taking place in Brazil, we cannot stay silent. The Amazon is key to our climate, our future, and our survival. #RespectTheAmazon

2/2 The EU 🇪🇺 must stand by its commitments to protect forests both within and beyond its borders.

🚫 We call on Luxembourg to stand firm: defend the regulation in its current form, and reject any further delays that would undermine its impact.

1/2 The European Commission wants to delay the EU Deforestation Regulation — again. This means more deforestation, more forest degradation, and more violations of Indigenous Peoples’ rights around the world. 🪵🔥

2/2 EU leaders need to #StopEUMercosur & instead ensure the EU Deforestation Regulation applies without delay!

The forest didn’t rest. It was fenced.
Pasture replaced trees. JBS profited.
Beef is the top cause of Amazon deforestation.

As the world prepares for COP30 in the Amazon, the rainforest is already dangerously close to collapse.

The EU-Mercosur deal approved by the European Commission today brings that tipping point one step closer.

MEPs and governments must reject this dangerous deal!

Extreme weather is becoming more frequent & severe across the world. And the fossil fuel industry is driving this climate chaos.

World leaders must hold polluters accountable and use that money to tackle the climate crisis they've caused.

🚨SHOCKING: The Israeli military’s own data shows that 83% of people killed in Gaza have been civilians.

And now a UN-backed body has confirmed the famine is entirely man-made.

Governments must stop arming Israel and back an immediate ceasefire.

You can’t mop up a flood with the tap still on. It’s time to turn off the plastic tap and cut overproduction at the source. #BreakFreeFromPlastic

Europe is burning. From Spain and Greece to Italy and Portugal.
This is not normal. We need to call this era for what it is:
a total climate and environmental emergency.

A new analysis shows that Luxembourg’s sovereign pension fund (FDC) continues to invest public money in coal, oil and gas, despite all their “sustainability” talk.

Would you accept 1% of your pay for 100% of the work? 🤯

That is what Indigenous Peoples face while protecting our forests and climate.
They receive almost no funding, while polluters rake in profits and destroy the planet.

This #WorldIndigenousPeoplesDay, it is time to change that.

Behind its “green” promises, Luxembourg’s sovereign pension fund (FDC) keeps investing in #FossilFuels, fueling climate destruction. It’s time to stop the #Greenwashing and making sure public money goes where it belongs! 🌿💚 #ClimateJustice

STOP THE SIEGE OF GAZA
The starvation of civilians as a method of warfare is a war crime and must be stopped immediately.

⚖️ A historic moment for #ClimateJustice!

The International Court of Justice has confirmed: governments are legally obligated to protect people from the climate crisis, regulate polluters, and repair the damage done.

A powerful step forward for people & the planet. ✊

Our forests are in danger! 🐾🌳
But the European deforestation regulation (EUDR) could protect them

However, various European member states want to massively weaken the EUDR!
We demand a strong deforestation regulation now! 📣
