From #COP27 look at #COP15 the way we should: as its natural continuation.
Next month we have a historic opportunity.
Let’s use it.

RT @EU_Commission: #SolidarityLanes were created to solve gigantic challenges. They are here to stay.
They will support Ukraine’s integration in the Single Market and become the backbone of a new grid of links between Ukraine and the rest of our European family.
RT @TimmermansEU: And that is 3! We have a new target for carbon removals through nature:
🟢 More accurate monitoring
🟢 Carbon sinks back on a path to growth
Once finalized, tonight’s agreement helps open the door to a higher 🇪🇺 climate target.

RT @AdinaValean: 🇷🇺 military aggression against 🇺🇦 has unfortunately confirmed that we need to greatly improve the #militarymobility of our armed forces. We will shorten reaction times, and take measures to increase the security and resilience of our transport infrastructure.

RT @aitorehm: In our round-up of city-related news, @_Zimmerfrau brings us the latest on the Commission's proposed revision of the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive, which obliges cities with 100,000+ residents to prepare for climate-related floods with measures to limit sewage overflows.

RT @TimmermansEU: We have a deal!
It’s no wonder the first #Fitfor55 deal is on the CO2 car standards: the pace of change in the past years has been truly remarkable.
EU car industry is ready, consumers are eager to embrace zero-emission mobility. So let’s go full speed ahead!
RT @aitorehm: It also meant burrowing into plazas that had once hosted trees and installing multilevel parking lots. Madrid's Plaza de Pedro Zerolo was full of tall trees at the beginning of the XX century, but after a parking lot was installed there the 1960s it became a concrete desert.
RT @DrTedros: Physical exercise during long meetings is important. Thank you to @WHOWPRO colleagues for motivating us to stretch out bodies at #RCM73. As @BTS_twt says - we don’t need #PermissionToDance or move. No matter what - be active, every step counts to keep yourself healthy!
RT @aitorehm: Trees are also broadly popular with urban residents, who routinely ask for more of them in surveys.
Little surprise there: Urban trees not only improve air quality but have been shown to dramatically reduce the stress and anxiety experienced by city dwellers.
RT @TimMcPhieEU: Climate action and nature protection are two sides of the same coin.
The EU will lead global negotiations at #COP27 and #COP15 this year to tackle the interconnected climate and biodiversity crises.
