  • Deregulation gamified! 🎮

Clean air, healthy soil, and safe working conditions should not be pawns in a game and yet that is exactly what is happening in the dirty game that is being played by big biz.

Rather than investing in a thriving and liveable future for Europe, decisionmakers are playing with fire by putting all their cards in the hands of companies whose business is killing nature, poisoning our soil, sucking the life out of air and putting human health in jeopardy.

  • Last week, Abigail Hartshorn, steering group member of Young Friends of the Earth Europe, delivered a short intervention during the 11th session of the UN negotiations for a Legally Binding Treaty on Business and Human Rights.
Her statement focused on the need to avoid reservations within the treaty, because allowing them would let states ratify the agreement without fully implementing it, leaving space for corporate impunity, human rights violations, and environmental destruction.
Strong, enforceable commitments are essential if we want justice for communities and the planet, not just words on paper. 
A big thank you to the Global Campaign @stop_tnc_impunity for all the support and collective strength throughout this process. 💚
