National bans are a step in the right direction, but they are not enough. The EU must suspend its Association Agreement with Israel & introduce a bloc-wide ban. The EU is legally obligated to use all means available to prevent ongoing genocide in Gaza & Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine.

Economic growth is still heating the planet. Is there any way out?
Rising GDP continues to mean more carbon emissions and wider damage to the planet. Can the two be decoupled?
