What a day to be alive: the EU Council (!) rejected European Parliament controversial amendments to deforestation law one-year postponement, saying they want to stick to the Commission's proposal instead ✒️@EleonoraVasques and myself https://t.co/PNhIqJfd9v

The same corporations that are complicit in global #deforestation are also attending #COP29 and influencing the talks. Analysis by @DeSmog shows large numbers of Big Ag lobbyists on the ground in Baku:

💡Why the #EUDR amendments voted last week would create more confusion and risky loopholes:

Worried about climate change? 🌍 Concerned that our forests are going up in smoke? Next time you hear of a forest burning, thank these MEPs👇 They voted to delay the deforestation law (#EUDR) and created huge loopholes, allowing corporations to continue destroying forests.

The @Europarl_EN agreed to a one-year delay of the #EUDR. But also to include a fourth-category to the risk assessment of countries, that is 'no-risk'. This would simply create further confusion to companies and undermine the objective of the law. https://t.co/PAydCSSwTv

🪓 Between 2022 and 2024, @EPPgroup changed their tune on forests 💥 This is responsible for lots of confusion ✅ We need clear rules to stop #deforestation ❌ That's why MEPs should vote NO to all amendments and NO to any delay on Thursday https://t.co/aFJ6JZICJL
🪓Between 1990 and 2020, 429 million hectares of forest were cut down worldwide. 💥This is responsible for 11% of greenhouse gases. ✅ We need clear rules for products such as soy, palm oil, coffee and chocolate to stop #deforestation. @CHansenEU

🚨This Thursday EU leaders are voting on whether to delay (and possibly weaken) the anti-deforestation law we need NOW! The #EUDR could be delayed by a year, risking 150,000+ hectares of forest. 🌳 🇪🇺Tell your MEPs and EU reps: Enforce the EUDR NOW! Hands off our forests!

The #EU was about to solve a huge chunk of the global deforestation crisis with a new law. 🌲 Now they're proposing a delay. Here's why that's a catastrophe for forests, biodiversity, and human rights.

World leaders have agreed to end #deforestation by 2030, yet forests around the world are still being destroyed at staggering rates. Voluntary schemes aren't working — we need regulations like the EU deforestation law #EUDR now https://t.co/5ohvQufwuR

The #EUDR delay could drive #deforestation an area more than 14 times the size of Paris. This is a slap in the face of European citizens and business who don't want to be complicit with forest destruction and Indigenous communities who risk their lives to defend their lands.
🚨 The @EU_Commission has proposed a delay to its landmark anti-deforestation law, the #EUDR We've shown that this 12-month delay could unleash #deforestation with carbon emissions equivalent to 188 million long-haul flights ⬇️ https://t.co/kbdEnRu9a3

Over 170 NGOs are calling on President @vonderleyen to stand by her promise to tackle #deforestation and not cave in to weakening efforts by industry & 🇪🇺govs! Almost 10 football fields of forest per minute are being lost. Backtracking is not an option. https://t.co/6tQf2bqxPN

🌳🔥The evidence is loud and clear: European banks are continuing to finance the destruction of forests around the world to the tune of billions of euros It’s time for the 🇪🇺 EU to put the brakes on the financial institutions that are destroying the planet https://t.co/VhT8M8LJpI

Together with @Germanwatch, @Umwelthilfe, Harvest, @milieudefensie, @OroVerde_GER, @profundoNL and @RAN we looked at the EU's 20 biggest banks 💶and analysed their investments in commodity-driven #deforestation. The evidence is clear. The EU🇪🇺 must end this credit chainsaw.
🚨 The 20 biggest banks in the EU are still bankrolling #deforestation to the tune of billions of dollars, according to our new review. It's time for mandatory rules to stop finance destroying our forests. https://t.co/pvRpePbt5e
