What a US$ 345 million judgment means for Greenpeace - Greenpeace International A US court has just sided with fossil fuel pipeline giant Energy Transfer and ordered Greenpeace International and Greenpeace entities in the US to pay US$ 345 million.

So let’s be clear: this type of corporate bullying is designed to rob us of our rights and freedoms. 

But we will not be silenced.

🤔 Negotiating alone? That’s playing on hard mode.

🎙️In EP3, Monica Tepfer @ituc.bsky.social, explains how #CollectiveBargaining turns “pretty please” into demands employers have to take seriously.

This is how workers go from hoping for change… to making it happen.

Analysis: UK newspaper editorial opposition to climate action overtakes support for first time - Carbon Brief Nearly 100 UK newspaper editorials opposed climate action in 2025, a record figure that reveals the backlash against net-zero in the right-leaning press

Two things to learn from this.
1. The rightwing newspapers are lobby groups whose purpose is to advance the class interest of their proprietors.
2. Lobbyists for the rich and powerful lose their jobs if they are not prepared to lie.

IEA: Slow energy transition would cost millions of jobs A rapid transition would create enough new green roles to more than offset job losses in coal mines, power plants and oil and gas fields, a report found

The IEA warns that a slow shift away from fossil fuels would leave the world with 1.3 million fewer energy jobs by 2035.

📊 Energy jobs are growing — but quality matters.

🗣️ “New energy jobs must be good jobs: decent pay, conditions & union rights. Skills matter, but decent work comes first. It’s what attracts skilled workers.” @bertdewel.bsky.social

🌍✊ Big win for #ClimateJustice & workers!

The new Belém Action Mechanism #BAM gives workers, unions, women & communities a seat at the UNFCCC table—for the first time ever.

Labour rights, social dialogue, collective bargaining & universal social protection are vital to bold, fair #ClimateAction.

🗣️ “#COP30 must make a real shift:
✅ Put labour rights at the core
✅ Guarantee social protection for all
✅ Ensure social dialogue with unions

We need a seat at the table to protect jobs & livelihoods. That’s why we’re calling for a Belém Action Mechanism” @bertdewel.bsky.social

‘Without our expertise, mistakes get made’: the Cop30 campaign to give workers a voice In this week’s newsletter: The green transition’s effect on workers is a hot topic, as advocates push for those working at the frontlines to have a say in climate policy

Only 3% of international climate aid going to transitioning communities: ‘This is absurd’ New report on funding to slash carbon emissions finds startlingly low engagement with the people affected

COP30: Council sets EU position for the climate conference in Belém The Council today approved conclusions on COP30, reinforcing the EU's commitment to keeping 1.5°C within reach, scaling up climate finance and driving global energy transition and adaptation efforts.

10 years after Paris — Europe’s biggest diplomatic win — EU risks showing up at #COP30 with words, not leadership.

Europe can still act:
→ Support a Just Transition Mechanism
→ Back tripling adaptation finance by 2030

Not new ambitions — just what’s needed for credibility!

Let’s institutionalise support for national #JustTransition plans - real cooperation, real resources. Governments agreed to transition away from fossil fuels at COP28. That means real plans in NDCs - not just energy, but food systems too. Justice must shape it all.”
