Net Zero ≠ Real Climate Action 📢 Across Europe, campaigners are calling out the failures of the net-zero agenda — and demanding a Real Zero approach instead. 👉 Real Zero means cutting emissions at the source, ending #FossilFuels, and investing in real climate solutions. 1/👇

🔴 Once again, a huge number of fossil fuel lobbyists are participating in climate talks. A new analysis from #KickBigPollutersOut found that more than 1,600 fossil fuel lobbyists have been granted access to #COP30 👇 kickbigpollutersout.org/Rele… 1/

🫣 Only #Brazil — the host country — has a bigger presence than oil, gas and coal interests. 👉 If we want real #ClimateAction, climate negotiations must put people and the planet before #FossilFuel profits. Read more in the @guardian 👇 theguardian.com/environment/… 2/

🔴 A Climate Law for Polluters, Confirmed. Europe’s new 2040 #ClimateTarget locks in loopholes, not real climate action. Offsets, carbon removals, and review clauses won’t phase out fossil fuels — they just buy time for polluters. Read our statement 👇 realzeroeurope.org/resources…

🇪🇺 In the next few weeks, the EU is set to finalise the new 2040 #ClimateTargets. ❌ But the proposal sticks to the #NetZero playbook, relying on international #offsets and #CarbonRemovals instead of real emissions cuts. 2/ 👇

👉In July the EU proposed a new 2040 climate target – 90% emissions reduction vs. 1990 levels. But behind the big headline lies a dangerous loophole. By relying on international #CarbonCredits & unproven #CarbonRemovals the proposal risks becoming a free pass for polluters👇 1/

📢 That’s why nearly 90 organizations signed our statement: “No to a Climate Law for Polluters!” 👉 We’re urging the EU to adopt a #ClimateLaw that truly reflects its responsibility for the climate crisis. Read it here 👇 realzeroeurope.org/resources… 4/

🤔 What’s the real impact of the EU’s #2040 climate target loophole? @oekoinstitut's brief shows that using 3% international carbon offsets means "the EU’s 2040 net emissions would be 30% higher than if the target were achieved domestically." 🔗 oeko.de/publikation/the-prop… 1/

In the last weeks, almost 90 organisations from Europe and beyond signed our statement urging the EU to: ❌ reject international carbon offsetting ❌ oppose harmful Carbon Dioxide Removals (#CDR) ✅ commit to a just and full fossil fuel phase-out 🔗 realzeroeurope.org/resources… 3/
