Let us take a look back on our first JEF Talk of the year: “Is Europe Facing… An Energy Crisis?” ⚡💡🤔 This panel discussion, chaired by Hon. Mark Anthony Sammut, Inġ. Sandro Lauri, Prof Roderick Pace and Dr Suzanne Maas, consisted of a discussion on SDG Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy as well as on the topic of renewable energy as part of the Malta’s Sustainable Development Action Days. 🌐🍃☀️ Before concluding our JEF Talk, attendees had the chance to ask the panellists and this continued to enrich the discussion. A big thank you goes to our speakers and to each and every one of you who attended. 🫶🏻 Stay tuned to our socials for upcoming events, discussions and opportunities! ✨💚

Johann Buttigieg’s transfer of company directorship to his son is a lame joke Fire him from the PA immediately❗ Yesterday’s statement by Johann Buttigieg that he has transferred the directorship of a private company operating in the planning sector to his own son is simply a gimmick. It will do nothing to conceal his proven corrupt behaviour or make his position at the Planning Authority (PA) any more tenable. 🔴 First and foremost, Johann Buttigieg should be fired from the PA immediately because he was found to have conspired with developer Yorgen Fenech over development applications and business deals while serving as CEO of the public authority responsible for assessing such applications impartially. In conversations that began over chat and continued at private parties hosted by the developer, Buttigieg demonstrated his willingness to engage in business deals with developers and facilitate the approval of projects that benefited them. 🤥 He also recently lied when he claimed that these conversations took place three weeks before he ceased to be head of the PA, when, in reality, they had taken place many months earlier. This massive scandal exists independently of the separate scandal involving his ownership of a private company operating in the planning sector while heading the PA. His ridiculous decision to relinquish the company’s directorship while transferring it to his son, and remaining the sole shareholder, amounts to little more than a change of name – the typical prestanome arrangement used to conceal one’s business interests. Moreover, this move would never have happened had the media not exposed his blatant conflict of interest. 🫣 No lame PR manoeuvres will conceal the crude reality: Johann Buttigieg is a corrupt CEO. Every minute the Government allows him to remain in his position makes a mockery of Malta’s institutions and sends the message that corruption in planning is the norm. Johann Buttigieg must be fired immediately and permanently barred from holding public office or taking up consultancy positions, to begin to reverse the immense harm being done.

It’s been a joy to create the identity for this year’s edition of ĊineAmbjent, an environmental film festival organised by @foe_malta , which opens today 🎥 - I started the process by researching the history of cinema in Malta: signage, posters, tickets, all of which inspired a hand drawn, eclectic typeface. The festival is showing beautiful independent films in cinemas all over Malta (& Gozo), many of which also have panel discussions or q&a’s about Malta’s most pressing issues. I highly encourage anyone on the islands to go and support this event and join in the discussions! Check out the full catalogue with events for all ages on @foe_malta

🇮🇹 Klimapsychologie trifft italienisches Lebensgefühl – ein paar Tage in Verona! 🍕 🌎 🌱 Die letzten Tage durfte ich in Verona verbringen – nicht nur, um die wunderschöne Stadt zu genießen, sondern vor allem für unser zweites Treffen im Rahmen des Erasmus+ Projektes Feel4Climate für den Dissemination Hub. Gemeinsam mit unseren Projektpartner*innen, unter anderem von @global2000.aktiv , @orielassociation , @eden.center und @foe_malta , @lorenzonava.ecocene haben wir uns damit beschäftigt, wie wir unsere Projektergebnisse möglichst vielen Menschen zugänglich machen können. Denn was bringen die besten Ideen und Materialien, wenn sie niemanden erreichen? 💚 Im Projekt Feel4Climate beschäftigen wir uns mit Klimaemotionen und der Frage, wie wir Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene dabei unterstützen können, mit den psychischen Herausforderungen der Klimakrise umzugehen und ihre Selbstwirksamkeit zu stärken. Entstanden sind unter anderem ein Booklet und eine Toolbox mit Wissen, Methoden und praktischen Anregungen. Jetzt geht es darum, diese Materialien in die Welt hinauszutragen und in die Praxis zu bringen. 🌱 Und neben der Projektarbeit? Da blieb zum Glück auch Zeit, Verona zu entdecken. ☀️ Von Einheimischen durch die Stadt geführt zu werden, gemeinsam italienisches Essen zu genießen, durch die wunderschönen Gassen zu schlendern und noch ein bisschen spätsommerliche Wärme zu tanken – das war schon etwas Besonderes. Mein Apartment hatte sogar einen Blick direkt auf die Arena. 🥰 Angereist bin ich übrigens ganz bewusst mit dem Nachtzug 🚆 – um die Emissionen meiner Reise möglichst gering zu halten. Ich nehme viele neue Ideen, inspirierende Begegnungen und schöne Erinnerungen mit nach Hause. Grazie, Verona! 🇮🇹💚 @psychologists4future_austria #Feel4Climate #Klimapsychologie #Klimaemotionen #Umweltpsychologie #ClimateEmotions

Join us this Thursday at 18:00 for a screening of Earth's Greatest Enemy, a documentary exposing the devastating environmental impact of the US military. Stay after the screening for an informal discussion on the links between militarism, imperialism and the climate crisis. 🎟️ Tickets: €3 (feel free to contact the Friends of the Earth Malta page for a free ticket if cost is a barrier). Earth's Greatest Enemy investigates the US military's enormous environmental footprint, from its dependence on fossil fuels to the pollution, toxic waste and ecological destruction it creates. The US military is one of the world's largest institutional consumers of fossil fuels, yet its contribution to the climate crisis is often overlooked. Military bases, weapons testing and armed conflicts also contaminate land and water, destroy ecosystems and leave communities dealing with the consequences for generations. At a time when governments continue to increase military spending while failing to take meaningful action on the climate crisis, the documentary raises an important question: Can we achieve environmental and climate justice without confronting militarism and imperialism? Earth's Greatest Enemy is being screened as part of the ĊineAmbjent Film Festival 2026, a project supported by Arts Council Malta.

9 NGOs have formally submitted their strong objections to the PA against a proposed planning policy that will spell the end of ODZ protection, threaten hundreds of farmers, and potentially cause great harm to nature. 🚧 This planning policy document proposes to allow fully fledged, massive commercial facilities in the form of obstacle racecourses in ODZ areas, on both agricultural and natural land. The policy seems to assume that simply including the word “temporary” will make their impact disappear. However, these structures will not be temporary at all. Permits will be valid for a full five years and, when considered alongside other planning rules and the systemic lack of enforcement, these facilities may well remain in place forever. Moreover, they will introduce intensive commercial activity into our countryside, in areas that should primarily be reserved for agricultural purposes or nature protection. 💼 The policy was agreed with developers before being issued for a supposedly public consultation. This is yet another clear case of decisions being made behind the public’s back and in the interests of private parties – a rotten norm in planning, as evidenced by the published chats between developer Yorgen Fenech and corrupt PA boss Johann Buttigieg. The malicious intent of this policy were clearly illustrated three years ago, at a time when the general public was not even aware that it was being planned. An application for an obstacle racecourse on agricultural land in Ta’ Qali, which directly threatened farmers cultivating the land in question, was recommended for refusal. During the public hearing, the developer’s architect stated that the Government was preparing a policy to allow such structures. ⚠️ It is clear that the Government has, behind everyone’s back, concocted a way with developers to greatly weaken ODZ protection. The NGOs strongly condemn these shady manoeuvres, which seek to accommodate specific private interests at the expense of the common good, the survival of Maltese agriculture, and nature’s integrity. Should the Government insist on pushing forward this extremely dangerous policy, the NGOs vow to fight it.
