We can halt climate change, but only by changing the economic and political structures that bind us to a high carbon model. The enormous trade deals currently being negotiated, like TTIP and CETA, will further entrench this model and make it all but impossible to reverse. this briefing outlines the reasons why we have to stop TTIP and other similar trade deals if we are to successfully stop climate change.

A flyer for local Stop TTIP or local Global Justice Now groups to inform people about transatlantic trade deals, what action they can take, and encourage them to join a local group.

The latest TTIP update includes the next Scottish Councils to become TTIP-free, the return to Scotland of the Westminster Warriors, TTIP and climate justice - as well as the latest from the European, Westminster and Scottish parliaments on TTIP.

The trade deal between the EU and USA is already weakening vital regulations in the EU while it is still in the process of being negotiated.

Private actors are playing an increasing role in education in a number of countries worldwide andin particular in developing countries. The growth of private schools, including the emergence and rapid expansion of so-called “low-fee” private schools that target relatively poor populations, has led to a de facto privatisation of education systems in these countries over the past 15 years. More recently, some school models, in particular for-profit low fee private schools are being actively supported by States.

This is a guide to the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between the EU and Canada.

Millions have signed a petition calling on the EU to stop negotiations on TTIP (the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership) and CETA. While there is growing public awareness about the timetable and content of the TTIP negotiations, CETA is on the verge of being ratified.

But it's not receiving the scrutiny or attention it deserves.
