Tomorrow the #EPlenary votes on the #Omnibus package to shape #BusinessandHumanRights in the EU. The choice for Irish MEPs is clear: align with affected communities, workers and CSOs to protect people and the planet OR with rich companies and the far right in a #racetothebottom.

The new tropical forest fund is a gamble in the casino of financial markets. Public finance is scarce&needs to go directly to forest communities rather than to complex financial instruments that aren’t guaranteed to raise money or benefit people. https://t.co/QpYxNKsU7A

Great learning across the 10 @Irish_Aid ICSP partners in Iveagh House today - @Actionaid_Ire stressed the importance of feminist approaches and locally led responses by women led organisations

Ten years after Paris, the EU’s climate credibility is on the line. Equity isn’t moral idealism — it’s the political realism that made Paris possible. At #COP30 in Belém, 🇪🇺must prove it still believes in that vision — and make it work for everyone 🔗 https://t.co/zc65DP5AqH

New research from ActionAid reveals the alarmingly low levels of climate finance going towards a just transition — this is the funding meant to ensure climate action works for people, not against them. Public money must serve people by protecting jobs, communities, and the planet

Listen back to Jamil Sawalmeh, ActionAid Palestine’s Country Director, on the hellish conditions pregnant women face in Gaza as winter sets in. Aid is still being heavily restricted – violating the ceasefire and international law. Gaza needs aid at scale.

10 years after Paris — Europe's biggest diplomatic win — EU risks arriving at #COP30 with words, not leadership It can still: → Support a Just Transition Mechanism → Triple adaptation finance by 2030 Not new ambitions, bare minimum for credibility! https://t.co/i2lbuks32u

The Council today approved conclusions on COP30, reinforcing the EU's commitment to keeping 1.5°C within reach, scaling up climate finance and driving global energy transition and adaptation efforts.

ActionAid Ireland has described the EU Foreign Affairs Council failure today to act on suspending Israel’s preferential trade agreement as a betrayal of its own commitments to human rights and international law.
