This #SocialJusticeDay, we reiterate our call: #NoToOmnibus! The EC must continue to act in accordance with the values at the heart of the EU: protection of human rights & the environment. Passing the #omnibus legislation in the name of competitiveness will only serve corporations, not citizens.

Like others in the Global North, the EU has overshot its fair share of the global carbon budget. In other words, they've used up others' share and let them pay the price, literally. (1/5)
