RT @DmytroKuleba: Ukraine is ready to create necessary conditions to resume exports from the port of Odesa. The question is how to make sure that Russia doesn’t abuse the trade route to attack the city of Odesa. No guarantees from Russia so far. We seek solutions together with the UN and partners.

The 🌍 has come together in Stockholm for @UN #Stockholm50.
It’s the triple planetary crisis we face that brings us here & the fact we haven’t stopped it so far.
Leaders, we must unite our efforts for all of us sharing this planet, who dream & demand a better future!

Always a pleasure & extremely useful to meet 🇺🇸 @ClimateEnvoy Kerry!

There’s no room for wastage:
of our time, resources, food, lives.
Our planet doesn’t have the capacity to give us a second chance if we miss this one.
Europe is speeding up, now we need everyone to turn things around to get back on track!

Having better control over our fishing vessels’ activities across Europe is crucial.
We must now make progress.
For that we need a new Control Regulation and we must agree on it before the end of the year.
Let’s put all our efforts to deliver @europarl_en and @EUCouncil!

The #EUGreenDeal has offered the starting line for people who are making it real, with their work.
It’s not the policies alone that will make Europe green.
It’s You.
Urban beekeepers, circular business innovators, forward-thinking economists.
You make it real!

RT @vonderleyen: I welcome the #EUCO agreement tonight on oil sanctions against Russia.
This will effectively cut around 90% of oil imports from Russia to the EU by the end of the year.

No Nature means no food.
Without restoring it our farmers will have no land to cultivate.
Soil erosion costs us EUR 1.25 billion/year & the extinction of pollinators will disrupt our food systems.
Let’s be clear: our work is for our farmers & not against them!

Young people from all over Europe want us to act now.
We can’t and won’t let them down!
Their future relies on clean air and water, healthy food and a resilient environment and climate.
Right now we are working on all fronts to deliver all that.

We did it!
My fellow Lithuanians showed heartwarming solidarity to #Ukraine!
In just 3 days people fundraised EUR 5 million for a military drone to be bought and delivered to Ukraine.
First ones globally!
Proud of you all!
