✈️ While a privileged few thrive; bills stack higher and higher for the many and the planet burns. ❗ Europe’s wealthiest are also Europe’s biggest polluters. ✈️ A person from the richest 1 percent emits on average 14 times more carbon (CO2) than a person in the bottom 50 percent. Their increasingly luxurious lifestyles and escalating opulence are wreaking havoc on our planet. 🧑🤝🧑 Meanwhile ordinary people are burdened with rising costs and the dire consequences of heatwaves, floods, and landslides caused by human greed. 🗣️ The #EU must step in and make Europe’s richest polluters pay up! 🖋️ Sign for a European wealth tax to fight the climate crisis and end poverty! 👇 https://lnkd.in/eFBeAiXT

🗣 "This ground invasion must not be allowed to happen. With their multi-billion-dollar funds and direct arms support, powerful nations have effectively given Israel carte blanche to commit war crimes", said Sally Abi-Khalil, Oxfam’s Middle East and North Africa Regional Director in reaction to Israel’s imminent invasion of Rafah. ➡ #EU leaders must stop dithering. They must halt all arms sales to Israel, suspend the EU-Israel association agreement and push even harder for an immediate #ceasefire. #CeaseFireNow 👉 https://lnkd.in/ecQkaJii

🚨 Today's #FAC is key.   ✂️ Slashing €2bn in aid to curb migration and neglecting development for economic gains is short-sighted.   🗣️ The new EU long-term budget must prioritise eradicating poverty and upholding human rights.   Read 👉 https://lnkd.in/dGt5FXBR
