Fossil fuels grabbed the spotlight at #COP30, while the conditions to phase them out – rich countries moving first and backing others – were sidelined.
That’s how climate ambition is turned against those who did least to cause the crisis, and the Paris Agreement is weakened.

analysis shows real expansion of oil & gas since Paris comes from a few rich producers – the US, Canada, Australia & Norway drove nearly 40% of the increase, while rest of the world cut output by 2%.
Blaming the “Global South” for lack of ambition is simply false

Europe also burns far more fossil energy per person than many countries; 4× India and more than China or Brazil.
A Paris-compatible fair-share path means: coal out by 2030, gas by 2035, oil by 2040.
Instead, EU weakened its 2040 target and rolled back green rules.

Fossil companies in the EU made over €180bn in taxable profits in just 2022–23, while governments kept >€100bn/yr in fossil fuel subsidies.
The EU isn’t just disproportionately consuming fossil fuels – it is profiteering from them!

Since Paris, EU-based banks have poured €40.2bn into fossil fuels & industrial agriculture in the Global South – 4× more than the €9.7bn/yr the EU gives as real climate finance.
Europe doesn’t need to wait for the South to phase out fossil fuels – it literally bankrolls them

Week two at #COP30, the EU is asking everyone to step up climate action.
But if it won’t step up on fairness – more support for those who did least to cause the crisis – its calls will ring hollow.
No fair share, no real Paris ambition.

Today the European Parliament approved its Omnibus I mandate, weakening #CSDDD.
By siding with far-right forces and corporate lobbies, MEPs signal that EU values and the rights of women and communities in the global South are negotiable when they collide with short-term corporate profit.

🇪🇺 Just days before #COP30, EU climate ministers agreed a 2040 target of –90 % vs 1990 levels — but with loopholes allowing up to 10 % offsets abroad.
That means Europe will only cut ~85 % at home, paying others to decarbonise on its behalf.
