Without #EUPollinators our food security, health & economy will be under severe pressure.
Pollination contributes at least € 5 billion/year to EU agriculture.
Saving pollinators is an investment we must make now, with governments & our farmers.

With our new 🇪🇺 New Deal for #EUPollinators we will tackle the root causes of their decline by:
Creating specific conservation plans for species under threat
Restoring habitats in agricultural landscapes
Mitigating the impact of pesticides

Conservation works and it’s amazing! 💚
Spotted: A heard of 170 European bisons in Poland including 40 calves 🦬
Scientists say it’s the largest they’ve ever seen!
Once on the brink of extinction - now thriving!

During the @europarl_en hearings we promised this will be the greenest mandate of the @EU_Commission.
And it has certainly been so far.
Impressive work so far by @EU_ENV!
Looking forward for our next #EUGreenDeal wins!

Forests, urban wastewater and our 🇪🇺 Nature Restoration Law are all high in the agenda of our joint work Mr Kallas, Minister of @MOEestonia.
Good to see the environment becoming more prominent in Estonia’s 🇪🇪 political priorities.

Estonia is supporting #Ukraine boldly thanks to its PM’s @kajakallas strong stance.
Today, we discussed our way forward for the implementation of the #EUGreenDeal in Estonia and our overall cooperation in times when our unity means the most for our European future.

🏆 Tallinn 🇪🇪 is our #EUGreenCapital2023!
Here to launch a year full of green initiatives such as the Pollinator 🐝 Highway project that will create space #ForNature in the city.
Great to join Mayor Kõlvart & ready to pass on the baton from @VilledeGrenoble to @tallinnofficial!

Coastal blue carbon ecosystems are valued at over EUR 190 billion/year.
What we do today for our oceans is not enough when we look at their current state, especially, as they are essential for our lives & economies.
We know what to do: restore & protect them better!

The future of the chemicals industry is in safe and sustainable chemicals that don’t compromise our health and the environment.
Working closely with companies and innovators and pushing forward our EU Chemicals Strategy, helps us co-create the green transition we need.

#WEF2023 is the place to meet frontrunners, innovators & reformers.
Glad to hear news from Eastern Europe, @Tsihanouskaya and @sandumaiamd.
Their priorities are extremely important for the years to come, and we will surely continue supporting their future.

If France 🇫🇷 plants 1 billion trees in 10 years, we can surely reach 3 billion in Europe 🇪🇺 by 2030!
It’s exactly what’s needed @EmmanuelMacron
And in the meantime, we must all register the trees we plant in our EU counter:

A circular economy ♻️ has to become the global norm.
We, in the European Union, are huge believers in circularity & it’s because we see the results it yields.
By re-skilling our workforce, we can ensure this transition is inclusive & meaningful for our communities.

I spoke with the Champions For Nature community about the next #COP15 steps.
I underlined the importance of mobilising finance. Concretely, we need to mobilise more than USD 200 billion/year by 2030. And support large-scale business actions & investments #ForNature.

The conversation at #WEF2023 in @Davos is about the track we choose.
Here and now.
The world desperately needs a real green transition, with real funding & the private sector on board.
The future of our economy lies in investing in the planet’s health & prosperity.

Impossible to comprehend the tragedy of the helicopter crash in #Brovary.
17 people dead including children, Minister Monastyrskyi, his deputy Yenin, State Secretary Lubkovich.
Our hearts are once again broken.
We keep standing by you Ukrainian brothers and sisters.
