Huge win for @ipsc.bsky.social: Starting tomorrow, the Central Bank of Ireland will stop authorising Israeli war bonds for sale in the European market.

Merz will den wirtschaftspolitischen #Epochenbruch. Das darf nicht unwidersprochen bleiben!

Damit der Widerspruch gehört wird, brauchen "Kritische Stimmen zu Wirtschaft und Krise" Reichweite.

This is wild, and topping the list is Raiffeisen Bank International. RBI currently earns nearly 50% of its profits from its Russian subsidiary, which has allegedly invested in Russian sovereign debt. But Austria’s Finance Ministry sees no problem here - and just announced it won't take action.

1/ SERIOUSLY?! Oil pipeline giant Energy Transfer is STILL trying to STOP Greenpeace International from taking them to court in the Netherlands under new EU anti-intimidation laws.

Greenpeace International met Energy Transfer in a hearing yesterday in a North Dakota court. Here’s the story🧵⤵️

Deutschland muss zur Einhaltung des 1,5-Grad-Ziels bis 2035 aus fossilem Gas aussteigen. Trotzdem lobbyiert Siemens Energy weiter für den ungebremsten Ausbau von Gaskraftwerken. Fakt ist: Sauberes Gas ist eine dreckige Lüge! Mehr dazu im neuen Bericht von urgewald: www.urgewald.org/shop/siemens...

Seit Monaten versuchen Union & rechte Medien einen Skandal zu stricken, wo keiner ist. Ja, NGOs bekommen Gelder von der EU, um der Lobbymacht mächtiger Konzernlobbys etwas entgegenzusetzen. Und nein, die EU-Kommission sagt ihnen nicht, was sie konkret tun sollen! www.tagesschau.de/ausland/euro...

🔥⚖️🌐NOW: historic moment for #ClimateJustice ongoing in #SaulvsRWE in Hamm 🇩🇪
📢this case could set a groundbreaking #ClimateLitigation legal precedent to hold polluters accountable for climate harms
🐦📝I will be reporting live on this platform, with facts & background 👇

The ECB adopted its first Climate Roadmap in 2021, but inflation has since limited its impact. Ahead of the ECB’s monetary policy strategy review, a coalition of civil society organisations therefore published a manifesto with 3 recommendations for a stronger Climate Roadmap. Read below 👇

The who’s who of post-growth academia just dropped a big review paper, which basically reads like the ultimate guide to post-growth research.

A new study reveals that Russian LNG imports to Germany & other EU countries rose (!) last year, despite EU sanctions on Russian energy imports. A coherent anti-war strategy cannot focus on weapons exports alone - we need to radically eliminate Russian gas from the EU energy mix.

Letztendlich zählt jede gute Idee - wie Umverteilung - nur, wenn sie auch umgesetzt wird. Und deshalb: aus aus der Komfortzone, rein in den Haustürwahlkampf für @die-linke.de! Schweden & Belgien zeigen: Macht Spaß, organisiert nachhaltig und stärkt linke Forderungen.

Hi Rosie, I'm not quite sure what I did to deserve the honour of being mentioned, but thanks a million for adding me to this great list!

Die CDU muss vor Gericht: Am 6.12. verhandelt das Landgericht Berlin nun endlich über die von uns unterstützte Klage gegen den CDU-Vorstand. Der Grund: #Merz’ früherer Lobbyverband Wirtschaftsrat sitzt dauerhaft im Parteivorstand – und darf dort mitreden. Darum geht es 🧵 1/13

The EU CRM in its current form favours mining interests over civil society voices advocating for sufficiency measures & environmental justice & environmental protection.

We cannot mine our way out of the climate crisis and instead have to grasp its full complexity. Please also check out Friends of the Earth Europe's briefing on the EU CRM's democratic deficit: friendsoftheearth.eu/publication/...

Join scientists & civil society in opposing the 2023 EU Critical Raw Materials Act, the 1st legally binding EU raw material strategy. Read, share, and sign the open letter. This hits close to home for me as it's the focus of my master thesis. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

If we want to decouple CO2 from economic growth - great! But, like solving just one side of a Rubik’s cube, it’s insufficient to reverse overshooting 9 planetary boundaries. Instead, our focus should shift towards reducing the world’s total ecological footprint.

I dedicate my 1st 🟦-skeet to this catchy metaphor in Economics for Rebels’ new podcast episode „Why will technology not save our souls?“: @timparrique.bsky.social calls out green growth’s flawed idea of sustainability & its narrow focus on decarbonisation.
