#Kherson is Ukraine!
Its not russia’s gift. Its a result of Ukrainian dedication, its military mind and smart use of weapons.
russia proves again that this war was useless from the beginning.
Aggressors & international burglars should to be pushed to an end!

Circular economy helps us move away from dependencies & keeps precious raw materials longer in supply chains.
We can level up especially on high-impact areas: batteries, plastics, packaging & textiles.
Deepening our partnership with State Minister of Economy, Mr Nakatani.

1/3 of glaciers in World Heritage Sites will disappear by 2050.
This means losing glaciers from the Dolomites to Yosemite.
But it also threatens our food & water globally.
Limiting 🌍 warming to 1.5C & restoring Nature can save the remaining 2/3.

Our forests are under big pressure.
The new 🇪🇺 Forest Fire report shows:

We must do better!
Through the #EUForest Strategy, upcoming forest monitoring framework & strategic plans.
