Take Action - Hands Off Nature

🚨 The EU is trying to quietly weaken nature laws during summer break. We have 10 days to stop this.
Don't let them destroy our forests, rivers & wildlife in silence. #HandsOffNature handsoffnature.eu/take-action/...

CAN Europe is attending the Conference on Climate Democracy in Copenhagen this week, organised by Global Focus and CAN Europe. Our colleagues Kristina and Romain are joining the discussions on the link between democracy, civil society, and climate action. 🌍✊

🔴 We’re marking our #RedLineforGaza. Even bigger, even louder. 🔴
In June, we took to the streets of Brussels with over 110,000 people to condemn Israel’s human rights violations in Gaza. But it wasn’t enough. Now we come even louder to say: it’s time not only to demand, but also to act!

Turning down the heat: how can Europe tackle summer energy poverty Europe has broken one heat record after the other in the past couple of weeks. Unprecedented heatwaves have been registered from Spain to Finland to the UK.

#SocialClimatePlans

As people struggle to heat their homes during the winter, many others struggle to keep them cool during the summer☀️

Making our homes climate-resilient through insulating them and installing sustainable, renewable cooling technologies can help protect millions of people from extreme temperatures🛡️

We need to balance speed with quality when it comes to the deployment of renewable energy⚖️

In a joint letter to @ec.europa.eu & Dan Jorgensen, we urge him to ensure that the protection of nature is at the heart of the EU's energy transition🌳

80 years since the Italian Resistance rose against fascism and ended Nazi occupation. Liberation Day marks the fall of fascism in Italy—a powerful reminder of what organized people can achieve.

The fight against fascism matters—then and now.

Today in 1974, Portugal’s Carnation Revolution toppled Europe’s longest dictatorship—in just 24 hours. Putting an end to thirteen years of colonial war in Africa.

A rare coup not to seize power, but to restore democracy.

Air pollution: Wood burners more polluting than traffic - Birmingham research Birmingham researchers say they have found wood burning at home is more polluting than traffic.

For some new houses, biomass could be a sensible option (e.g. poor grid connectivity), but cuddling up to a wood burning stove in a new home in a UK town when you have a primary heat system makes no sense. It has to stop. 3/3 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
