#EUForests are suffering in the EU and the world.
For a sustainable bioeconomy to thrive, we need to make sure they are biodiverse, resilient and monitor them better.
The only business model that can survive is sustainable business.

Healthy forests are our strongest allies against climate change & biodiversity loss.
They are also a source of building materials, and a driver for jobs and growth.
We need to carefully manage our forests.
This is what brings us to Haltia 🇫🇮 today ↓ https://nitter.eu/i/broadcasts/1ypKddeNerYKW

At Montreal at #COP15, 196 countries can commit on tangible targets #ForOurPlanet & future on it.
To fight the climate crisis we need to restore Nature.
Do you agree?

Europeans ask for a healthy Nature, economy & society.
We can deliver it through our upcoming Nature Restoration Law!
I count on all Ministers of Agriculture & Fisheries to allocate #MFF funding & make the best use of all available resources under #CAP & #CFP.

We must help our 🇪🇺 fishing fleet get rid of its high dependency on fossil fuels.
The @EU_Commission is working on an initiative for a strategy to power the sector with clean & renewable sources.
Very good to discuss it today at #AGRIFISH so we can move it forward!

At #COP27, we kept the goal of 1.5C.
But leaders didn’t reach a commitment for 🌍 major emitters to phase down fossil fuels, or new commitments on climate mitigation.
A wakeup call to put all efforts for a successful #COP15!

The #ParisAgreement architects said it loud & clear:
”There is no way to limit global warming to 1.5 C without taking action to protect and restore Nature”
This is why it’s so important to strike an ambitious deal at #COP15.

From #COP27 look at #COP15 the way we should: as its natural continuation.

Water💧x Energy⚡️
2.3 billion people 🌍 live in water-stressed countries.
By 2050 drought can affect more than 7️⃣5️⃣ % of the entire population.
With many of our renewables depending on it, we must invest in water re-use & efficiency & ♻️ practices to safeguard it!
