- Activists have drawn attention to a previously unnoticed draft law from the Polish government setting the country on course to withdraw from a 1990s treaty they say was designed to protect fossil fuels and needs to be abandoned in light of the climate crisis.
- The draft law on the “termination of the Energy Charter Treaty” and its protocols was agreed by the Polish government on 10 August and sent to the country’s lower chamber, Sejm, by Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on 25 August.
- The move came as a surprise to green activists who have been campaigning for years against the treaty.
