As #PFAS consultation ends on Monday, check out our research on the industry, its lobby allies & strategies to weaken EU’s proposed restriction on #ForeverChemicals

Time to #BanPFAS to stop environmental pollution & the growing human health costs.

#PFAS are everywhere and burden of dealing with human health & environmental consequences are to be counted in billions at EU level.

Globally it could be trillions.

125 NGOs demand to #BanPFAS in consumer products by 2025 & a complete ban by 2030.

EU is currently consulting on a proposed ban on #PFAS, with a phase out planned over 12 years, but it looks as if industry has been dominating the consultation, with far more submissions than anyone else.

Industry has a 2-pronged approach to the proposed #PFAS restriction.

Industry strategy 1: Try to persuade decision-makers that they are trust-worthy and responsible.

Industry strategy 2: Try to persuade decision-makers that ‘our’ #PFAS are special and need special time-unlimited opt-outs from the ban.

Global chemicals industry is huge & there are many producers and users of #PFAS throughout industrial supply chains. Just 13 of them have a combined annual EU lobby spend, on all issues, of €18-21 million.

🚩Decision-makers no longer trust #BigTobacco on public health policy
🚩Decision-makers shouldn’t trust #FossilFuelpolluters on #ClimateCrisis policy
🚩Decision-makers shouldn’t trust #Toxicsindustry on #PFAS

Today, the President of the Commission von der Leyen did her annual State of the Union speech. Well written, but between the lines you hear a Europe with big business at the steering wheel along with conservative politicians.

Our 9 worst moments from #SOTEU 2023 below. Image
1⃣ “We shifted the climate agenda to being an economic one”

Yes, on so many occasions, the business agenda of growth and competitiveness has undermined the fight against climate change. Image
2⃣ “….we will hold clean transition dialogues with industry.”

In recent years, the problem was not the lack of dialogue with industry, but the negative impact of corporate lobbying on climate policies.

🚨 Read our new report on #hydrogen 🚨

🔴 It shows how it is being used as a Trojan horse to prolong the use of #FossilFuels

✊The EU must scrap its unrealistic H2 targets and increase investment in energy efficiency and just renewables

🚨Behind the hype, this hydrogen push will actually lead to higher CO2 emissions

⛔It’s not because you put the word green in front of #Hydrogen that it becomes climate friendly


👉 Read all about it here: corporateeurope.org/en/GermanysGre… The hydrogen supply chain from production to transport to po
We found that:

❌100+ German businesses are key players for #GreenHydrogen and many of them have ties to the fossil fuel industry, jumping on the hydrogen bandwagon to lock in harmful infrastructure & production models.

The oily hands of the #fossilfuels industry have #COP27 in its grip, with more than 630 lobbyists present in Sharm El-Sheik.

The calls to #KickBigPollutersOut are growing. But what are the concrete demands behind the call?

Thread 🧵👇🏽
kickbigpollutersout.org/demands
🛑 Stop Big Polluters writing the rules via their access to policy making.

🧾The UNFCCC needs to establish an accountability framework to end the #corporatecapture.
#KickBigPollutersOut of #COP27

No more bankrolling the climate talks via sponsorship. Big Polluters only use it to greenwash their image and avoid responsibility for a crisis they have caused.
