Renewable energy's potential is hindered by neoliberal capitalism, compromising affordable & equitable transitions. This Climate and Community Project report illustrates how 'public-private' models often prioritise private profit over public good & explores pathways for truly public service 👇

Brilliant episode of The Break Down, where Chris Shaw unpacks how liberalism dominates our political thinking, its critical impact on addressing the climate crisis, & envisions what a class-conscious approach to climate politics could look like.

At present, the EU trade rules tend to: 🪓damage the planet 👷‍♀️destroy decent jobs & drive down wages 💥undermine the protection of food safety, health and the climate It is time to move on from a worn-out, broken model of trade policy. europeantradejustice.org/eu-trade-polic…

Looking forward to join Draghi's report on EU Competitiveness will become available the week after. Rumour has it that there will be a significant focus on defense spending, changing the role of the EIB and more. EPSU Counter Balance on this ⬇️ epsu.org/article/epsu-j…

It's outrageous for public officials to attend events where wealthy corporations purchase influence over their regulators. Nadia Calviño, is this the direction you plan to take as European Investment Bank President?

New on-the-ground evidence by ClimateRight reveals serious allegations vs. TotalEnergies, a #GlobalGateway Business Advisory Group, including sexual violence, environmental destruction & forced evictions in Uganda. Is this a "positive offer" for the Global South?

Public banks & funds have the means to bridge the €170B annual social infrastructure gap & deliver urgent climate policies. It's our role of CSOs, labour unions & progressive political forces to keep up the pressure - together, we can win this! ✊

Another #GlobalGateway clean-tech fix that risks locking in fossil gas. Costly, inefficient & resource-intensive, H2 props up business while threatening local access to renewable energy & increasing large-scale resource demand with negative social & environmental impacts.

#Draghi suggests taking on joint debt should be accompanied by stricter fiscal rules to "ensure that an increase in common debt is matched by a more sustainable path of national debt." New spin. Don't think anybody will love it. commission.europa.eu/document/downl… via Frank Vanaerschot
