BREAKING!
Climate Case Ireland has warned the Government it faces legal action if it does not publish the State’s final Long-Term Climate Strategy by 1 January 2022, two years after required by EU law.
The Climate Advisory Council says this is a “critical gap” and “urgent” ⬇️

Delay turning Moneypoint into a renewable energy hub and convert it from COAL to OIL! 💀
Moneypoint power station will be converted from coal to oil, 30 per cent of all vehicles will be electric by 2030, earlier rollout of onshore wind and solar, and a major push to electrify industrial heat will all be part of the new Climate Action Plan. businesspost.ie/news/moneypo…

Good news: Germany is quitting the Energy Charter Treaty - the 6th EU country to pull out of the treaty after a failed reform attempt. It’s critical EU govts now reject the new #ECT to stop fossil fuel giants from using it to sue them over climate action.
