Tell the EU: Don't put an oil man in charge

At the end of the month, the European Commission is planning to put an ex-Shell employee - Wopke Hoekstra in charge of Climate Action. Just as global news headlines are warning us that our planet is “well outside safe operating space for humanity”, his nomination will put us further behind in reaching our climate target.

Activists and organisations across Europe are mobilising to oppose Wopke Hoekstra's nomination. Join us to call on the European Parliament to appoint a climate champion instead of Hoekstra!

Demand a real climate leader for the EU now!

To: all Members of the European Parliament and Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission,

In order to protect the integrity of the European Unions' climate action, we urge you to ensure that the EU Commissioner nominee Wopke Hoekstra is not given the climate portfolio as planned. As a former Shell employee with a history of support for policies and initiatives that are in conflict with climate solutions, this would be a dangerous appointment. We need a climate champion leading the EU's green transition and not someone who is friendly with the fossil fuel industry. We also need to address the corporate culture of EU politics with a conflict of interest framework.

Thank you
