Our new agreement on fishing opportunities for 2023 in the Baltic Sea will help improve the Baltic’s environment which is very much needed for its future.
One step ahead for this ecosystem to become again a thriving source for our fishers!

To protect & restore 🌍 biodiversity we heavily depend on mobilising financial flows.

The new @WWF #LivingPlanet Report is crystal clear:
69% of our world’s wildlife is gone since 1970.
Devastating.
We can change this global trend at #COP15 & here in Europe with our Nature Restoration Law!
We stand firm #ForNature.

This is the way forward!
For the 1st time in history, Greece’s 🇬🇷electricity demand was fully covered by renewables over a few hours last week!
Clean, war-free energy will make our lives & Europe healthier and greener.
We must continue investing in it.

Russia is responsible for war crimes and a real ecocide.
Pristine forests are destroyed.
Unique wildlife, lynxes, birds, moose are driven out and many are killed in landmines.
Ukrainians are left with dead land that will take decades to repair.

putin & russian terrorists are killing civilians and shelling heating & electricity infrastructure in Ukraine right now.
He wants to leave people without heating before winter as he once left people of Mariupol without heating and water.

Climate experts warn record droughts will be 20 times more likely in the northern hemisphere due to the climate crisis.
This means more forest fires, food & water insecurity.
At #COP27 & #COP15 leaders must act according to the emergency we are facing!

Toxic air pollution particles found in lungs & brains of unborn babies.
In Europe in 2022.
This is unacceptable.
Our Health depends on clean air & a toxic-free environment.
By the end of October we’ll deliver a #ZeroPollution package to change this.

RT @vonderleyen: I welcome the Member States’ agreement today on the 8th sanctions package.
We have moved quickly and decisively.
We will never accept Putin’s sham referenda nor any kind of annexation in Ukraine.
We are determined to continue making the Kremlin pay.

Something is fundamentally wrong here.
Asian Winter Games to be organised in the desert.
If we want to be serious about lowering our impact on this planet 🌍 we have to start by making conscious choices that respect Nature & the climate.

Mr @elonmusk,
It is not rocket science: Russia invaded Ukraine!
There is no Ukraine without Crimea as there’s no #Tesla without batteries.
Instead of doing Twitter polls, we should all focus on helping #Ukraine win this war.

Will be having a series of discussions with 🌎 leaders to prepare #COP15.
