The Nova Kakhovka dam was breached in June 2023, causing extensive flooding along the lower Dnieper River.
Thousands of people were evacuated & the destruction is visible.
We have the power to change this.

We have a political agreement on new EU waste shipment rules.
This is a huge step to take responsibility for our waste, stop exporting pollution to third countries & use waste as a resource in the circular economy.

Deforestation has a far greater impact on regional temperatures than we thought.
The more our forests suffer, the more our farmers will too: less rain & higher temperatures threaten production.
Our 🇪🇺 Deforestation Law can help tackle it at source.
