RT @vonderleyen: #COP15 is entering into decisive negotiations. We need an ambitious post-2020 agreement on global #biodiversity. Protecting at least 30% of world's land & oceans by 2030 & setting long-term 2050 targets are crucial to halt and reverse nature loss and to meet the SDGs. #leadership

Decision time approaches at #COP15.
We need to agree on clear goals:
🟢 Restoring 6 billion ha of land & marine ecosystems
🟢 The 30 x 30 target to protect biodiversity
🟢 25% reduction of our ecological footprint by 2030
Nature is our ship.
We must ensure it stays afloat.

Imagine que su salario se reduce en un 68%. Su apartamento se reduce al 32%. Su bicicleta, su sombrero, su pensión, todo reducido en un 68%.
No sentiría pérdida, sino rabia, furia.

This week, #COP15 kicked off in Montreal with one main goal: to strike an ambitious 🌎 agreement to stop & reverse the loss of biodiversity.
But what is biodiversity & why is it important?
𝘽𝙞𝙤𝙙𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙮 is the incredible variety of all life on Earth.
🐦🔗: https://n.respublicae.eu/EUClimateAction/status/1601212280452296706
What is truly at stake?
🔴 1 million species are at risk of extinction
🔴 69% of wildlife has declined since 1970
🔴 75% of the 🌍 crops depend on pollinators
We unite 🇪🇺🇨🇦 efforts with Minister @s_guilbeault at #COP15 to deliver.

It’s no secret.
Pooling financial resources for Nature is one of the main challenges we face especially because of war & economic struggle around the globe.
Yet putting money on Nature is the safest investment we can do!
