With our #BlueInvest mission we create the best possible ecosystem for EU #BlueEconomy SMEs & startups.
We continue working closely with that community & with the @EIF_EU to promote our EUR 500 million #InvestEU fund & our @EIB Blue Champions programme.

At #BlueInvest we shape the #BlueEconomy of the future.
We mobilise private capital for our public efforts to accelerate & scale up green ocean technologies.
Our goal: EUR 1 billion by 2024
And this spurs an additional EUR 2.1 billion by 2030 coming from investors.
Way to go!

Excellent, as always, to meet with 🇪🇸 VP @Teresaribera to plan & organise our work ahead of the upcoming @EUCouncil Presidency.
It will be a very busy one & we hope to finalise a number of #EUGreenDeal legislative proposals.
Great to touch base today on our joint priorities.

RT @vonderleyen: Inspiring visit of @li_cycle, where lithium batteries are recycled.
Recycling will be a key pillar of our Critical Raw Materials (CRM) Act.
And our CRM Partnership with Canada will strengthen our strategic value chains and help us reach our climate objectives.

At the EU Solar CEO Forum today!
Renewables can go hand in hand with Nature if designed to support it.
Example: solar farms incorporating wildlife corridors & nesting sites for #EUPollinators & birds.
We will keep working together to deliver for both!

RT @olgatokariuk: Russians cowardly and dishonorably executed this unarmed Ukrainian POW. His last words were 'Glory to Ukraine'. He was shot repeatedly after saying it. If Russians did it with a goal of intimidating Ukrainians, they achieved the opposite effect: he will be forever seen as a hero

HISTORIC BLUE DEAL !
The #BBNJ Treaty on the High Seas is done!
After many years of intense work under EU leadership, countries agree on ambitious actions for #OurOcean.
This is major for the implementation of the #COP15 30% ocean protection goal.
Proud we made it!

By imprisoning Nobel Peace Prize winner Ales Beliastski & 3 @viasna96 activists the Lukashenka regime continues to suppress democracy.
There are more than 1500 political prisoners in Belarus.
We stand with civil society, risking everything for freedom & justice.
Let them free!

At #COP15 we gave a promise to the world, to all living creatures in it.
To protect & nurture it.
The EU is working to honour its commitments: through the #EUBiodiversity Strategy & our Nature Restoration Law we stand #ForNature.

Today is all about action. Action for Our Ocean.

Drought indicator for France:
February 2021 ➡️ 2022 ➡️ 2023
32 days straight without rain, the longest streak since 1959.
It’s undeniable that this is serious.
Actions like our 🇪🇺 Soil Health & Nature Restoration Law are the solutions we must deploy.

Οι σκέψεις μας είναι με όλους τους Έλληνες σε αυτή την τόσο δύσκολη μέρα για την Ελλάδα.
Λυπάμαι βαθύτατα για τις χαμένες ζωές και όλες τις οικογένειες που θρηνούν τους αγαπημένους τους ανθρώπους σήμερα.
Τα θερμά συλλυπητήρια μου.
Εύχομαι γρήγορη ανάρρωση στους τραυματίες.

What’s the difference a fully #CircularEconomy can make?
Covering all our needs with only 70% of the materials & resources we use today.
That means an economy that’s much kinder to the planet 🌍 with products that last longer.
Thank you for helping us deliver #CEStakeholderEU!

RT @vonderleyen: I welcome the formal adoption of our 10th sanctions package against Russia.
We now have the most far-reaching sanctions ever - depleting Russia's war arsenal and biting deep into its economy.
We are also turning up the pressure on those trying to circumvent our sanctions.

RT @ZelenskyyUa: 🇺🇦 and 🇱🇹 are walking together through the history. I thank all of you, 🇱🇹 people, for doing everything you can with us.
Now is the time when we can protect our freedom forever.
And make our #PeaceFormula the basis for a new security for everyone in the world who values life.

We’ll present our 🇪🇺 Forest Monitoring Law this summer.
It’ll also help prevent forest fires.
And I am happy to see our @LIFEprogramme has trained 200 🇵🇹 firefighters so far to use tested methods to convert fire-prone forests into more resilient areas.
