Did you know precious metals such as gold 🪙 can be found in #EWaste?
It’s vital to recycle e-waste to recover these metals and achieve a #CircularEconomy. But the process uses large amounts of #energy 🔋.
Researchers propose a new efficient system ⬇

Today is International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction. Did you know that mountain #forests ⛰️🌳 are key to minimising the risks of debris flow and flooding?
However, the protection they offer is being threatened.
RT @BESNet_UNDP: #OutNow: @IPBES has published updated versions of its Assessment reports 📄 on the multiple values of #nature and the #sustainable use of #WildSpecies.

#Mediterranean Europe has seen a rise of abandoned #agriculture 🌾, accompanied by increased #wildfires.
Researchers explore this transition of land use and land cover over a 50-year period in the #Valencia region 🇪🇸.
Increased recycling rates of #waste treatment are vital to reduce its #environmental and #health impacts.
A study explores how waste-water treatment could benefit from hybrid modelling and reduce gas emissions.

RT @EU_Eurostat: 🆕🗑️♻️2 029 million tonnes of waste were treated in the EU in 2020.
High recycling rates in:
🇮🇹Italy (83%)
🇧🇪Belgium (74%)
🇸🇰Slovakia and 🇱🇻Latvia (both 64%)

Our #EUForests 🌲🌳 are under extreme pressure.
To better prepare them for future challenges, we want to develop a new 🇪🇺 forest monitoring framework.

A #LowCarbon transition in the 🇪🇺 will alter the demand for many raw materials 🪵.
Researchers assess the #environmental costs needed to meet demand for key raw materials by 2050.

Have you read our 🆕 Future Brief? It explores the #environmental impacts linked with #COVID19, such as:
🗑️ Plastic waste
🌊 #Water and #air quality
🧫 Antimicrobial resistance
What are the benefits of agri-environment #wildflower areas? 🌼
This study explores the wider context of sowing wildflower areas, assessing their effects on non-pollinator #invertebrates 🐞.
It’s #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, highlighting the need for the conservation of #migratorybirds.
Some European migratory bird species migrate to West African coastal waters, but they are at risk from unsustainable and illegal fishing in that region.
Invasive alien species can cause #biodiversity loss 📉 and extensive #economic damage 💰.
What are the costs linked with this damage, and how does it weigh against expenditure on preventative measures?
Book your place at the #EURegionsWeek event on 10-13 October!
The conference brings together policy-makers, academics, experts from regions and cities 🏙️ to discuss the green and digital transitions ♻️🖥️, territorial cohesion and more.
The 🇪🇺 aims to achieve ‘good’ #environmental status in #marine areas 🐟 across all Member States.
Researchers assess protected and non-protected sites in the #MediterraneanSea, according to key ecological indicators.
#Biodiversity isn't just impacted by #ClimateChange, it’s influenced by non-climate factors such as habitat loss and invasive species.
This study explores the impact of wildlife #birds 🐦 from climate and non-climate factors, using long-term datasets.

Yesterday marked the start of World Space Week 🪐, celebrating space and #sustainability!
Did you know that #satellites 🛰️ can help inform #environmental policies, such as land management in #agriculture?
RT @EU_ENV: We need to #SaveSoil to save our future! 🌱
With a possible #EUSoil Health Law, we want to grant soils the same level of protection as air, water or the marine environment
