4/5 🔑The unaccountable #CCUS Forum has been given a huge role in shaping @eu_commission DG Energy’s key policies.

UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk deplores Israeli strikes on #Gaza , where every 10 minutes a child is killed or wounded.

Full-scale Israeli incursion on Rafah would risk more deaths & injuries, further breaching international humanitarian & human rights law.

We need a #PlasticsTreaty that:
