In a win last month, the UK said it will leave the Energy Charter Treaty. Now, after a year of stalled negotiations, the EU is close to breaking free from this dangerous investment agreement, used by fossil fuel companies to sue governments over their climate policies. 1/2

Outraged at the political games being played in Council today on due diligence. Flagrant disregard for the European Parliament. Member States need to get their act together because time is running out. Press conference at 4pm.

The EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive is essential for business, people & planet. Will the EU prioritise short-term political gains of a few or the long-term resilience of our economy & ecosystems? 🌍

A critical debate is taking place today on the EU’s new corporate sustainability law #csddd. It’s one of the last opportunities to deliver a law that truly holds companies to account for their role in the environment and climate crises. Here’s what needs to happen 🧵(1/5)

This is not only important to limit companies’ negative impacts on human rights & the environment – it's also essential for France to comply with its international obligations. RT thread if you think it's time for France to take a bold step towards a more sustainable future 🇫🇷🌿

3️⃣ Inclusion of the financial sector:
The financial sector plays a significant role in the global economy. Their investments and decisions can make or break our climate goals. Let's make sure they act responsibly too 💼 #climatefinance

2️⃣ Clear climate transition plans:
We need clear requirements on climate transition plans & these need to be implemented. France should lead the way by setting a high standard. This will avoid the risk of greenwashing and drive innovation and sustainable practices 🌱

1️⃣ Due diligence for climate impacts:
Companies must conduct due diligence on their climate and environmental impacts. It's time for businesses to actively address their contributions to climate change.

Big win this morning as the @EP_Environment voted to strengthen new EU rules on corporate sustainability due diligence and include climate. This brings us a step closer to ensuring this vital law will help the EU meet its climate goals.

🚧 First hurdle taking on environmental #duediligence in #CSDDD: The ENVI Committee adopts the compromises with a majority of 39 to 34! And presents a more coherent approach than the @EU_Commission. Well done @woelken, @pcanfin & @marietouss1! A🧵on the 2 key elements ⤵️

The #EUCommission must work with #MemberStates that remain hesitant to ensure a collective withdrawal from the #EnergyCharterTreaty – as a “patchwork of membership” is incompatible with EU law, @IISD_news @LSchaugg tells @EURACTIV in deep dive interview on the #ECT.

It will also answer the calls from a wide range of stakeholders - from business to investors - for greater legal clarity on corporate reporting and risk assessment practices as they move to more sustainable operations.

Important position of the @IIGCC ahead of the vote in the @EP_Environment this Thursday! 👉It's up to the ENVI Committee of the EU Parliament to ensure effective corporate action on #climate and set clear requirements for climate #transition plans. @peterliese, @Esther_de_Lange
English
Such requirements would enable effective implementation of a tool that is already referenced in the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and Taxonomy Regulation.

Tomorrow @EP_Environment has a chance to ensure climate is part of future corporate due diligence rules (CS3D). A 🧵on why this is necessary.

The EU is working on a new law to foster sustainable and responsible corporate behaviour – but it lacks ambition on climate. Here’s why including clear requirements on companies’ climate impacts is key to driving meaningful action: euronews.com/green/2023/02/…
