The EU now funds wanton planetary destruction. The EU's recent decision to invest millions in expanding coal giants in China using funds designated for green power and sustainability is appalling. This egregious misuse of resources undermines our collective fight against climate change and shatters the trust placed in you by citizens and the global community.
The companies benefiting from your investment, Coal India and China Shenhua, are among the world’s largest polluters. By directing green funds to these entities, you’re not only contradicting the Paris Agreement but also directly contributing to increased carbon emissions. It’s a slap in the face to every European who has supported policies aimed at reducing our carbon footprint and promoting renewable energy.
This move raises serious questions about the EU’s commitment to a sustainable future. How can we advocate for global climate action while our own funds bolster the coal industry abroad? This hypocrisy threatens to erode the credibility of the EU’s environmental policies and initiatives.
Moreover, this decision has severe implications for global climate efforts. Coal is one of the dirtiest energy sources, and supporting its expansion in rapidly industrializing nations like China sets back years of progress. It’s a grave disservice to our planet and future generations.
The urgent need for climate action cannot be overstated. We must invest in truly sustainable projects—renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydroelectric power—not in fossil fuel giants that perpetuate environmental degradation.
European Union, it’s time to rectify this grave mistake. Redirect those funds back to their intended purpose: fostering a green, sustainable future. Show the world that the EU stands firmly behind its climate commitments and is a leader in the fight against climate change. Our planet depends on it.
