The Dutch environmental NGO Milieudefensie (Friends of the Earth Netherlands) formally filed a lawsuit today against ING, the largest bank in the Netherlands, challenging the bank’s climate policies. The lawsuit seeks to compel ING to align its financing activities with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement. By taking this action, Milieudefensie hopes to set a precedent for holding financial institutions accountable for their role in financing fossil fuel companies and high-carbon sectors that exacerbate the global climate crisis.

“If we succeed, this will be a major breakthrough in achieving climate stabilization globally,” Donald Pols, director of Milieudefensie, said during a press briefing last week. He noted that ING, as one of the 30 largest banks in the world, has a substantial impact on the broader financial sector.

“Milieudefensie is demanding that ING halve its emissions by 2030 and stop financing companies that start new oil and gas projects,” Pols said.

DigiD, het inlogsysteem van de overheid, heeft de laatste weken geregeld last van storingen. Lang duren de problemen doorgaans niet, vervelend zijn ze wel. Ze worden vooral veroorzaakt door nieuwe soorten ddos-aanvallen die lastiger zijn te verdedigen.

For the people who have not yet decided on a search engine. The most EU way you can go is Ecosia or Qwant as they are building their own search index.

Ecosia is my personal pick as its also aimed at planting trees and they have quite a good browser alongside it.

I don't use it much but I use URL shorteners sometimes. Currently every alternative I can find is US based. Does anybody have any suggestions for EU based URL shortener websites?

My main usage is just having a shorter URL but limited statistics would ideally also be there (mainly amount of clicks per day)
