Over $1 trillion is moved into tax havens each year — robbing the world of funding for healthcare, education & climate action.
That's why we need to change our deeply unjust global tax system, designed to benefit wealthy corporations & countries. Act now.

Enough!
It is just horror after horror after horror.
Remember these precious and beautiful lives. They are human beings with names and faces. And they are being indiscriminately slaughtered.
What unconscionable inhumanity. We need a ceasefire, now.

The ECT is a secretive trade agreement that allows corporations to sue governments over policies that affect their profits. Companies can sue for billions — even if those policy decisions are necessary to tackle climate breakdown — in secretive tribunals.

The threats of ISDS claims can have devastating impacts, even if they never make it to a tribunal, and by staying in the ECT the Irish government is ignoring the ECT's incompatibility with our climate commitments.

This is ‘regulatory chill’ or the ‘chilling effect’ of ISDS (the provisions at the heart of the ECT), whereby companies use ISDS to block, or even reverse legislation they don't like.
It’s something that a recent IPCC report warned that the ECT can do. veblen-institute.org/IPCC-points-ou…

🧵I tweeted earlier that Ireland is facing its first ever ISDS claim under the Energy Charter Treaty – that wasn’t accurate, apologies. Ireland is being *threatened* with its first ever ISDS claim, so the claim itself hasn’t been brought - yet...
