RT @unescoWATER: Swamps, marshes, mangroves and other wetlands store twice as much carbon as forests.
If we keep these healthy, this can lower our greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the impact of drought and flooding, while protecting biodiversity.

Doñana is important for Spain & the EU.
I met with @RamonFPM, @Teresaribera, @ManfredWeber, @IratxeGarper & @DolorsMM to listen to all parties.
My message is the same: @EU_Commission acts as impartial guardian of the Treaty & the implementation of 🇪🇺 Court’s ruling is a priority.

Congratulations to Member States who

👉🏼 They account for 🇪🇺 42 000 tons/year
👉🏼 Over 20 years, it would prevent 500,000 tons

#Peatlands can store more carbon than any other terrestrial ecosystem, but when poorly managed, they become net carbon emitters
That's why the #NatureRestoration Law includes rewetting drained peatlands, leaving 🇪🇺 countries to decide how to do it best: https://www.youtube.com/live/B0wvyEDjm5I?feature=share

Scientific evidence shows that pharmaceuticals are present in our environment.
If they enter the water cycle or the food chain they also affect our health directly.
We propose the way forward for pharmaceuticals that truly heal us without harming Nature

European mountain ranges are under threat by climate change.
Record temperatures and droughts in 2022 meant that 🇪🇺 glaciers lost over 5 BILLION m3 of ice last year – threatening vital ecosystems and livelihoods.
