4 days before the launch of what we hope will be the final round of negotiations on the High Seas Treaty #BBNJ.

It’s now time for all @UN Members to take responsibility for a successful outcome that lives up to our #COP15 commitment for 30% protection of #OurOcean.

I never imagined a moment in my life that I would wake up my wife to tell her the war back home has started.

357 days later, tell me, can you look Ukrainian children in the eye & tell them their future is rapes & loots?

We will never stop until we stop putin.

This is what distinguishes true heroes from weak war terrorists:

The Ukrainian rescue team in #Türkiye just saved a woman under the rubble, 9 days after the devastating earthquake.

In the midst of war, #Ukraine shines once again with its big heart & solidarity!

My heart goes out to Türkiye & Syria.

28,000 people lost their lives so far..

All my thoughts are with the people affected & with all those tirelessly trying to save those trapped under the ruins.

The EU will continue providing humanitarian help.

We are with you ❤️

26 types of PFAs chemicals found in #Arctic’s ice.

Extremely worrying.

The meltwater can contain a cocktail of contaminants that harm the environment & its animals.

With @ThierryBreton we are committed to phase out all non-essential uses of PFAS.

With Minister of Fisheries @jacobjensenMF we established a very good overview on fisheries.

Looking forward to advance our work on those important fronts in the coming months.

All studies point to the fact that we have lost 70%-80% of insects in Europe.

The New Deal for #EUPollinators offers tangible solutions such as “Buzz lines” where they could move across Europe to find food & shelter.

If they thrive we can thrive too!
