Invasive Alien Species cause #EUBiodiversity loss, affecting ecosystems & our lives
That's why we launched an 🇪🇺 initiative to raise awareness about the issue
Help share & increase the understanding of these species, and protect nature with our toolkit: https://easin.jrc.ec.europa.eu/easin/BewareofAliens
Chemical #pollution is a major 🌍 concern and within the 🇪🇺.
As persistent pollutants build up in #marine areas 💧, which may disrupt an entire #ecosystem, a recent study on #MarineSediment confirms effectiveness of pollution control legislation.
Blue-green 💧🌳 #infrastructure can support #cities in:
🌩️ Storm-water management
🌡️ Climate adaptation
🐸 #Biodiversity
Researchers explore how blue-green infrastructure is used in urban planning.
RT @ICLEI_Europe: What was #COVID19's🦠 environmental impact? That's precisely what the @SfEP Future Brief is all about!
Find out how #environmental causes, ecological consequences, and lessons learned are related to the spread of COVID-19.

#ClimateChange 🌡️ significantly alters conditions around the planet, with implications for #biodiversity, food production 🌾, the economy and more.
Researchers suggest that climate models are crucial to understanding likely future conditions.

Did you know the #BlackSea is fed by many European and Asian rivers 🌊? This has led the sea to accumulate #microplastic.
Researchers explore strategies to lower this pollution 📉, to help create a #ZeroPollution future for the Black Sea.
How can we address #ClimateChange, natural disasters and reducing carbon emissions? The solution is in #Nature! 🌿
We put the spotlight 🔦 on #NatureBasedSolutions and how they can protect, sustainably manage and restore #ecosystems.

Have you read our 🆕 Future Brief? It explores the #environmental impacts linked with #COVID19, such as:
🗑️ Plastic waste
🌊 #Water and #air quality
🧫 Antimicrobial resistance
RT @Food_EU: Today is European Antibiotic Awareness Day.
A consistent #OneHealth approach, including
🧍 human health
🐄 animal health
🌎 & the environment
can help us fight #AntimicrobialResistance
Let's keep antibiotics working.
Urbanisation 🏙️ has caused a severe decline in many bat #species 🦇 globally.
What #conservation measures are needed to make cities more suitable for #wildlife, including #bats?
#Beech is one of the most ecologically and economically valuable species of #trees 🌳 in Europe.
According to a recent study, the majority of the continent's beech tree growth could be considerably stunted by #ClimateChange this century.

Research suggests that pro-#environmental behaviour (PEB) ♻️ may be linked to personal #wellbeing or happiness 😃.
Little is known about whether this is affected by privilege, wealth and culture. This study explores these factors and their impact.
RT @BESNet_UNDP: BES-Net’s #Trialogue methodology creates a trusted space for those with different views, cultures and interests to actively listen to each other and generate options that can overcome underlying conflicts #ForNature. 🌿🪸

Have you heard of the ELISA eHighway system?
It is an overhead power line, working as a vehicle-charging system for freight #transport 🚚.
A study assesses this project, exploring how this system could reduce #carbon emissions 📉 from road freight.
#Ultraviolet (UV) filters are an emerging #pollutant used in cosmetics and toiletries 🧼.
A study explores the sources and potential impact of UV filters, using water samples from beaches 🏖️ and waste-water plants on Gran Canaria, #Spain 🇪🇸.
RT @OECD_local: The impacts of #climatechange are increasingly clear across @OECD countries 🌡️
9⃣5⃣% of OECD regions were more exposed to heat stress over the past 5 years compared to 1981-2010.
