RT by @euenvironment: 32 million tonnes of plastic waste are generated in Europe every year

This can seriously damage the environment and human health.

We need:
🔸 more producer responsibility
🔸 deposit return systems
🔸 ecodesign for sustainable products
... and a Global #PlasticsTreaty at #INC5

The best gift you can give a child is a healthy, clean planet 🌍

Children are vulnerable to pollution, already from the womb.

RT by @euenvironment: Intervening in the discussion on competitiveness, @riyongkim, Head of Sustainability Transitions at @euenvironment, stresses the importance of setting realistic goals.🇪🇺

💬"I am here to represent the environment's voice. We know we cannot continue using resources in the same way as we did before. And while Europe has set ambitious sustainability goals, we must ensure they are realistic.

With objectives like the zero pollution vision for 2050, we are far from where we need to be, and much work lies ahead.”

RT by @euenvironment: .@riyongkim, Head of Sustainability Transitions, @euenvironment warns of the dangers of failing to transition to greener production.

“Achieving sustainability and boosting competitiveness are deeply interconnected.

Transitioning to greener production methods will come with costs, especially as we move away from non-renewable resources.

While this shift may face resistance and pose challenges, the long-term risks of not acting now far outweigh the short-term expenses.

We can attract jobs to new green sectors by embracing sustainable goals, and creating synergies that drive economic growth and environmental responsibility.

We must take this path now to avoid even greater risks in the future.”
