Real Zero Europe

Net Zero ≠ Real Climate Action 📢 Across Europe, campaigners are calling out the failures of the net-zero agenda — and demanding a Real Zero approach instead. 👉 Real Zero means cutting emissions at the source, ending #FossilFuels, and investing in real climate solutions. 1/👇

Major #FossilFuel companies stand to gain billions: 🛢️ Equinor – 14 projects receiving €2.7B 🔥 Shell – 12 projects receiving €5B While public funds are being funneled to corporations, real climate solutions are sidelined! Read more in the fact sheet👇 realzeroeurope.org/resources/fact…

👉 #CCS allows polluters to keep polluting at massive public cost. A new analysis from @PriceofOil & @corporateeurope reveals how billions in EU subsidies are propping up fossil companies instead of tackling the #ClimateCrisis. Read more 👇 realzeroeurope.org/resources/fact…

‼️ Today, the #ICMForum kicks off in Athens, Greece. Hosted by the EU Commission, decision-makers will hear from fossil lobbyists on scaling up Carbon Capture and Storage ( #CCS ) — a technofix proven to fail! 🧵👇

📣 Breaking: Analysis from Oil Change International & @corporateeurope reveals €17.3 billion of public funds poured into #CCS in Europe since 2001 and the fossil fuel ties influencing the @eucommission at the #ICMForum #FossilFreePolitics Factsheet➡️oilchange.org/publications/m…

🔴 BREAKING: Analysis from @PriceofOil and @corporateeurope reveals €17+ billion of public funds poured into #CCS in Europe since 2001. After decades of failures, fossil fuel ties keep influencing the EU Commission at the #ICMForum. Read more 👇 realzeroeurope.org/resources/fact…

📣 BREAKING At least 531 lobbyists for groups that advocate for a misguided technology that prolongs #FossilFuel use (aka Carbon Capture & Storage #CCS) have gained access to the #COP30 climate talks. Read: sg.news.yahoo.com/carbon-capture… A 🧵

💨 On top of this @ciel_tweets found that 531 #CCS lobbyists also have access to #COP30! This shows how the fossil fuel industry is pushing #FalseSolutions, trying to lock in more extraction and delaying #ClimateAction & the phase-out of #FossilFuels 👇 ciel.org/news/531-carbo…

🫣 Only #Brazil — the host country — has a bigger presence than oil, gas and coal interests. 👉 If we want real #ClimateAction, climate negotiations must put people and the planet before #FossilFuel profits. Read more in the @guardian 👇 theguardian.com/environment/20… 2/

🔴 Once again, a huge number of fossil fuel lobbyists are participating in climate talks. A new analysis from #KickBigPollutersOut found that more than 1,600 fossil fuel lobbyists have been granted access to #COP30 👇 kickbigpollutersout.org/Release-Kick-O… 1/

🔴 A Climate Law for Polluters, Confirmed. Europe’s new 2040 #ClimateTarget locks in loopholes, not real climate action. Offsets, carbon removals, and review clauses won’t phase out fossil fuels — they just buy time for polluters. Read our statement 👇 realzeroeurope.org/resources/pres…

📢 We need to move beyond #NetZero — and take meaningful steps toward Real Zero! @SOMO @corporateeurope @Fern_NGO @PriceofOil @StopCorpAbuse @IATP @ClientEarthEUR @foeeurope

🇪🇺 In the next few weeks, the EU is set to finalise the new 2040 #ClimateTargets. ❌ But the proposal sticks to the #NetZero playbook, relying on international #offsets and #CarbonRemovals instead of real emissions cuts. 2/ 👇

📢 That’s why nearly 90 organizations signed our statement: “No to a Climate Law for Polluters!” 👉 We’re urging the EU to adopt a #ClimateLaw that truly reflects its responsibility for the climate crisis. Read it here 👇 realzeroeurope.org/resources/stat… 4/

👉In July the EU proposed a new 2040 climate target – 90% emissions reduction vs. 1990 levels. But behind the big headline lies a dangerous loophole. By relying on international #CarbonCredits & unproven #CarbonRemovals the proposal risks becoming a free pass for polluters👇 1/

The statement is still open for signatures! 👉 Fill out the form to add your organisation’s name and support the call for real #ClimateAction: forms.gle/qftmpcqk5NFbgg… 4/

In the last weeks, almost 90 organisations from Europe and beyond signed our statement urging the EU to: ❌ reject international carbon offsetting ❌ oppose harmful Carbon Dioxide Removals (#CDR) ✅ commit to a just and full fossil fuel phase-out 🔗 realzeroeurope.org/resources/stat… 3/

🤔 What’s the real impact of the EU’s #2040 climate target loophole? @oekoinstitut's brief shows that using 3% international carbon offsets means "the EU’s 2040 net emissions would be 30% higher than if the target were achieved domestically." 🔗 oeko.de/publikation/th… 1/
