Panel to Support the Santa Marta Just Transition Away from Fossil Fuels Conference” hosted by CAN EUROPE

Building a shared roadmap for a just transition away from fossil fuels.

Ahead of the Santa Marta conference, CAN Europe organised discussions with the Colombian government, EU institutions, labour organisations, and civil society at the European Parliament to explore pathways toward a coordinated and equitable transition away from fossil fuels.

In the face of escalating violence and geopolitical tensions causing devastating human loss, peace must be prioritised - but this is also a critical moment to bring forward concrete solutions that advance fossil fuel phase-out while addressing economic, social, and governance challenges.

Hosted by MEPs Annalisa Corrado, Kai Tegethoff and Martin Gunther, the event made it clear: the EU needs to be more than a spectator - it must turn this moment into real momentum by setting a clear fossil fuel phase-out framework.

Powering Ethiopia's Green Future: Shaping a Just Energy Transition Narrative hosted by Eco-Justice Ethiopia and Consortium for Climate Change Ethiopia

Eco-Justice Ethiopia, in partnership with the Consortium for Climate Change Ethiopia (CCC-E) for Climate Change Ethiopia, successfully hosted a national civil society consultation workshop in Addis Ababa under the theme, "Powering Ethiopia's Green Future: Shaping a Just Energy Transition Narrative." Ethiopia faces severe macroeconomic pressure, spending nearly $5 billion annually on fossil fuel imports. The workshop featured presentations from leading sector experts and scholars.

These expert presentations were followed by a highly active and interactive discussion session, where civil society representatives, scholars, and youth raised pertinent questions and forwarded strong comments regarding a just energy transition. Participants discussed the need for heightened commitment from both the government and the public to leverage Ethiopia's renewable energy potential and shift from costly fossil fuel dependency toward clean domestic energy and e-mobility. Furthermore, participants emphatically demanded that the financial support provided by the international community for this transition must be in the form of fair grants and reparations, rather than loans that worsen Ethiopia’s debt burden.

European Summit: "Stop the chainsaw!" rally hosted by Rise for Climate Belgium

The unravelling of the Green Deal, which we won in 2019 with the youth and citizen marches, continues:  the weakening of laws on nature restoration and corporate due diligence, deregulation on the restriction of pesticides, GMOs and water pollution, the return of fossil fuels in the form of American LNG, and the vote on the EU-MERCOSUR Treaty, which is incompatible with the climate and the survival of European farmers.

Faced with these attacks by lobbies and the victories of the far right in many EU countries, the rule of law and countervailing powers (media, trade unions, justice) are being weakened, as is respect for human rights, women's rights and minority rights. We therefore have a duty to resist and ensure that progressive parties win the next European elections in 2029.

Instead of the deal between Trump and Von Der Leyen for American LNG, we propose to the 27 to support a Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty and to participate to San Marta Conference in Colombia.
Europe must refuse to engage in a new arms race and follow Trump and Netanyahu into wars whose main victims are the civilian population.

Stop the Corporate Climate Criminals: ISDS to the agenda of the Just Transition Away from Fossil Fuels Conference

NOAH - Friends of the Earth Denmark joined the Climate Alert action taking place in front of Danish Parliament every Thursday for 8 years. While Danish ministers rolled in in their big fuming cars, as Thursday morning is their peak meeting time, we spoke up for ambitious participation in the Santa Marta conference. Unfolding the cruelty of ISDS by explaining the Chevron vs Ecuador case and pointing to the chilling effects on Danish climate policy.
