Severe floods in Germany, Belgium and France are a stark reminder that climate change is already here

Post date:
16 July 2021
Body:

At least 95 are dead and hundreds are missing following the days of floods that have devastated German, Belgian and French cities and villages. In January 2021, the global temperature was the highest on record. And what is clear is that floods are made more frequent and severe due to the increase of extreme weather patterns caused by climate change.

Green Politicians are acting as Godparents for political prisoners in Belarus

Post date:
08 July 2021
Body:

There are currently 529 recognised political prisoners in Belarus, and the actual number is likely to be higher. Not only have the detainments of the political prisoners been illegal, but their trials have been unfair – often occurring behind closed doors. They contain journalists, former presidential candidates, and activists but also students, academics, and other civilians attending pro-democracy protests.

Another environmental disaster: Gas pipeline ruptures in the Gulf of Mexico

Post date:
06 July 2021
Body:

2021 is not only already full of climate-fuelled heatwaves, deadly tornadoes and other disasters, but also many induced by humans. Images from an underwater gas pipeline rupture in the Gulf of Mexico circulated around the world this week, signalling once again the need to oppose fossil fuel subsidies and exclude natural gas from the sustainable investment criteria in the EU taxonomy.

Turkey leaves the Istanbul Convention despite calls to 'Stop the Withdrawal!' by civil society

Post date:
01 July 2021
Body:

Today, Turkey is officially leaving the Istanbul Convention, only one day after Pride Month. The Convention is crucial to protect the rights of women and the LGBTI community. Turkish women have been protesting the withdrawal, concerned that without the convention their rights will deteriorate, and they will be more at risk of gender-based violence.
