Petition

The European Union must do everything it can to stop propping up Putin's wars. This means:

  • Not considering gas and nuclear as green
  • Reforming its fiscal rules to help governments invest in renewable energy, without breaking deficit or debt rules.

This will mean that Europe sets itself up for the future and energy independence.

Why is this important?

No one wants to finance Putin's war. But that’s what our leaders together with fossil fuel corporations are doing and have been doing for years. 

Everyone is now calling for European energy independence, just like in 2014 when Putin attacked Eastern Ukraine. But in the last 8 years, the opposite has happened. Instead of reducing our dependence on Russian gas, the EU has increased it.

It’s now urgent to actually stop buying gas from Russia. But it’s also important to make sure we do not buy gas from elsewhere either, propping up other dictators and putting us all at risk.

In response to this terrible war, politicians are ready to take actions that days ago seemed too radical, impossible. In this moment, Europe must reduce its dependence on gas and nuclear and invest in renewables like never before. [1]

Together, let’s make sure their decisions set us up for a hopeful future, not for history repeating itself. Will you be part of the people’s wave? Lets end Europe’s fuelling of Putin’s wars!

  1. The European Union must not label gas and nuclear as green: this fuels Putin’s wars, as well as more crazy price increases for all of us. Also the Union must reform its fiscal rules so that governments are allowed to massively invest in energy from renewables without breaking deficit and debt rules.

Next step - spread the word
