@FintanKelly_ And a Swedish envi commissioner ! Whose portfolio includes "competitive circular economy" ie bioeconomy. Oh god, absolute disaster......

The new Commission will be framing #ClimateBreakdown #BiodiversityCollapse around Competitiveness & Growth. This doesnt augur well.

This is wild. European countries import coffee and cocoa from Africa and then re-export at an average 300% mark-up. This tactic was widely used by Europeans during the colonial period and it continues to be used today. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

We believe in an environmentally, economically and socially just world where people influence, improve and help implement decisions that affect them, their forests and the climate. As @X is increasingly reducing space for such issues, we are no longer active on this platform.

Across the world, forest destruction is increasing, fuelling the climate crisis and collapsing ecosystems. The #EUDR is the beginning of the forest fightback. President @vonderleyen: #DefendEUDR by ensuring timely & full implementation.

"National traceability mechanisms must be designed with smallholder farmers in mind, providing information that helps them strengthen their bargaining power and push for better prices." - @JuliaC_Fern, @Fern_NGO news.mongabay.com/2024/07/lets-r…

At the end of 2024, companies will need to start complying with the EU #Deforestation Regulation (#EUDR) & show where their imported goods come from. Our new report lays out a set of 10 criteria for a credible & transformative #traceability system 👇 fern.org/publications-i… 1/2

NEW STUDY: EU could slash 48 million tonnes of emissions and save €2.8 billion annually with healthier ready meals! @SKyriakidesEU @IdaAuken @RasmusPrehn @ale_moretti @BiljanaBorzan @sara_saracerdas @Frederiqueries #MakeReadyMealsHealthier Read more 👇 madrebrava.org/insight/eu-cou…

Very proud to see this study, which I've been working on over the past year, come out today! Regulating ready-made meals could reduce the same amount of GHG emissions as taking 38m cars off the road every year- and save consumers money.

The @eu_commission’s proposal to remove basic environmental conditions in the #CAP is anti-democratic & feeds the false narrative that we must pick between environment or agriculture. We urge @vonderleyen to withdraw the proposal. Read the joint statement: clientearth.org/latest/documen…

As #FarmersProtests2024 continue across Europe, farmers in Côte d’Ivoire are being crushed by the same pressures, shares Ousmane Traoré, chair of ECAKOOG, an organisation of small cocoa producers. Read more in #ForestWatch 👇 fern.org/publications-i…

@ralphkamphoner @ECCJorg @foeeurope @corporateeurope @EmpresasRespon @Germanwatch @purposeofcorp @ECCHRBerlin @MVOplatform @LieferkettenG @ObservatorioRS Because it will help clean up some of companies' purchasing practices that are really harming farmers. Overall the vibe here is that people are disappointed with Europe, and surprised by the level of last-minute political manoeuvring.

@ralphkamphoner @ECCJorg @foeeurope @corporateeurope @EmpresasRespon @Germanwatch @purposeofcorp @ECCHRBerlin @MVOplatform @LieferkettenG @ObservatorioRS Disagree- am in Cote d'Ivoire right now, which is the EU's top cocoa producer and where many people are therefore following the CSDDD closely. Every person I've mentioned the CSDDD blockage to this week has been crestfallen. People here really want it to pass

🗞️#CSDDD news 🔔This Friday, EU capitals will vote for a crucial chance to agree on a new text & pass it to the Parliament before the EU elections. We want Member States to finally say YES to the CSDDD.

Only the latest in progressive business support for Due Diligence: Italian chocolate industry leader @Ferrero_EU 😋🍫 - together with Mars, @MDLZ, and civil society actors - urged the Italian Government @ItalyinEU to vote yes on the #CSDDD. business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news…

@ConfindustriaEU @stefanpan1 @Confindustria @sole24ore Hello, I would like to see the CSDDD impact study that is referred to in the article (that has been carried out by BusinessEurope). Where can I find it? Many thanks! @stefanpan1

🗣️"L’Italia è decisiva per fermare il testo attuale, macchinoso e ingestibile. Per questo chiediamo al Governo italiano di astenersi". 📰L'appello su #CSDDD di @stefanpan1, delegato 🇪🇺 di @Confindustria, sul @sole24ore di oggi. ilsole24ore.com/art/allarme-su…

Much of the reporting on European farmers’ protests point to environmental regulations, in particular the Farm-to-Fork strategy (F2F), as the source of anger. Not only is that narrative incomplete, it is also dangerous. A thread on why farmers aren’t a monolithic group. 🧵

Pouvez-vous nous citer les mesures du Green Deal qui sont déjà en application ….? …? Quel impact ? Bcp de mesures reportées (si pas abandonnées), bloquées ou vidées de leur substance (et pas encore en application dans tous les cas). Et ça passe crème …
