What saddens me the most, in this latest #Gaza tragedy, is that if and when food relief will be allowed to enter, chances are that we will witness scenes of looting and assault, 'cause when we starve, we'd do anything to survive. And there's no order or police anymore there. The weakest will succumb

The EEB is now representing almost 200 European citizen environmental organisations. I am very happy to be part of this growing community, striving to make a difference for both humans and the environment.

EU-Folks this study contributes to a positive-thinking narrative around the uptake of clean, renewable heating in Europe, thanks to the funds of the Social Climate Fund and the Emission Trading System 2. It's not too geeky, I promise. check it out

What’s lurking behind your latte?☕ In their latest report Changing Markets Foundation have assessed 20 global companies — including Nestlé, Danone, Starbucks, Costa, and McCafé — on their #methane targets, action plans, and transparency🔍 The results❓Not good 👎 #MethaneMatters

The power of learning and innovation: As batteries get cheaper, more people buy them and as more people buy them the cheaper batteries become. Since 2010, battery costs have fallen by more than 90% - offering big opportunities to cut emissions in road transport & electricity.

a nice myth-buster about clean heating techologies, and heat pumps in particular EU-focused but also largely applicable elsewhere.

🗞️ This week’s Meta just dropped! 75 years after the EU’s coal & steel roots, leaders face a green crossroads. MEPs shut down a fake NGO scandal, but flopped on wolves + water. Agri talks missed key food links, as Denmark eyes protein gains in 2025.

🚨 LIVE FROM STRASBOURG-GOOD NEWS! The European Parliament ends the ‘scandal that wasn’t’!
Today, MEPs made it clear: funding for NGOs under the EU’s LIFE programme is legal, transparent, and essential to a healthy democracy.

A much needed discussion on a relevant topic. See you there, if you will be in Brussels at #EUSEW

Today, @ec.europa.eu unveiled its roadmap to phasing out Russian energy imports by 2027. 3 years into full-scale war, the EU still imports €100M+ in Russian fossil fuels every week and loopholes are allowing them to export indirectly too. We need renewables - not more fossil ties. #EnergySecurity

I am sharing an interesting article about the recent Spanish #blackout that, rather than blaming renewables, blames Nuclear. It's in Italian, but it's easy to translate with any browser. #foodforthought luigimoccia.substack.com/p/le-bufale-...

A myth buster on heating and cooling (unfortunately, on a different platform) @eeb.org www.linkedin.com/posts/europe...

this is techy but absolutely relevant

This is about all of us. Never forget that.

🚨 The EU is about to officially weaken wolf protection, despite a lack of scientific evidence. And this might only be the beginning. 🚨

The EU’s gas addiction is getting worse: 📈 Russian gas imports rose by 18% in 2024 💰 Gas prices soared by 59%, driving up power costs 🏭 Billions are being wasted on infrastructure that will become stranded assets within years 🚫 Let’s turn off the tap! Time to double down on heat pumps & renewables

As other tens of thousands I have paid a visit to the largest heating and cooling fair in the #EU, #ISH25 in Frankfurt to learn about the decarbonisation and depollution of the sector. Plenty of new stuff coming to the market, with some potential game-changers. #staytuned for a detailed report.

🎉 One year of the Cool Heating Coalition! 🎉 One year ago, we launched the Cool Heating Coalition with a clear mission: to achieve decarbonised, renewable and affordable heating and cooling by 2040 in Europe. 🧵 👇

It's key to prevent PFAS in heat pumps and aircon because once the gases are out, there is no way to take them back. Cooling is growing lightning-fast in emerging economies, hence this could prevent the largest global chemical pollution crisis since DDT. #darkwaters @markruffalo.bsky.social

in #EU we are looking for a contractor to carry out a study on the link between carbon pricing, the Social Climate Fund and the uptake of heat pumps & solar. Deadline for application: 9th March. eeb.org/report-on-gr...

This is such a versatile meme. We'll never grow tired of it, right Scooby?

now, this.

New findings show that EPP MEP Monika Hohlmeier, who is leading attacks on NGOs being funded via the EU's LIFE Programme, has a glaring conflict of interest 🚨 Hohlmeier is on the payroll of BayWa, a corporation that received €6.5 million funding from LIFE 🤯 www.corporateeurope.org/en/2025/01/c...

For those speaking #French this article on La Matinale Europeenne is worth the read. This sharp and ruthless analysis nails the # EU in its responsibilities coffin. It's no longer the "talking" time. It's "concrete actions" time. open.substack.com/pub/lamatina...

Join our team! We're looking for a junior policy officer to help us to assess financing gaps in the clean heat transition and identify the policies needed to bridge them. Have a look at the role and send us your application by 31 January 👇 https://buff.ly/40p34ew

so #Italy is about to become the next country putting its defence communications in the hands of SpaceX. I wonder: is this the safest option for IT? What makes Elon more trustworthy than the EU satellite system, to which IT is a great contributor? www.ilpost.it/2025/01/06/a...
