No new coal: take action

8 July 2009

30,000 people could be forced from their homes as climate refugees if the plans for a new coal fired power station at Kingsnorth in Kent get the go ahead.

The world’s poorest people will be worst affected, even though they leave smallest carbon footprint.

Stop Europe’s Damaging Trade Deals

8 July 2009

Europe’s trade policies put big business before the interests of people and the environment.

They will particularly harm the poorest and most vulnerable people in the world: destroying jobs, small-scale industries and the livelihoods of small farmers, as well as increasing environmental exploitation and human rights abuses.

Inside Europe, these policies are undermining job security, privatising our public services and promoting the exploitation of migrant workers.

And all this is being done to help big business secure big profits.

Europe-Central America trade deal responses

8 July 2009

Thank you for taking our action to put the brakes on the EU-Central America trade deal. Some people have received a response from the European Commission and while we are not encouraging people to get into a detailed debate with the negotiators about this deal, here are a few comments in response to their email.

The EU negotiators say:

the EU and all Central American chief negotiators… renewed their commitment to come to a rapid conclusion of this Agreement

Put the brakes on an unfair Europe-Central America trade deal

8 July 2009

The European Union is currently rushing through secret negotiations on a trade deal with a group of Central American countries. This trade deal could increase poverty and inequality in a region where 40% of the population live off less than US $2 a day.

There is a crucial opportunity to put the brakes on the proposed trade deal. Several Central American governments are expressing reservations about the deal and we need to take action to demand European negotiators change their approach.
