Dieses Ergebnis ist alarmierend vor der Europawahl. Pandemie, Krieg, Klimawandel und das Gefühl, dass sich eh nichts ändert und es keine positive Zukunft gibt. Auf diese berechtigten Sorgen der Jugend müsste der EP Wahlkampf dringend eingehen!

Discussing the implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity to build momentum for a successful #COP16 in October.

As always, we're set to lead by example, by taking necessary 🇪🇺 measures to deliver in line with the ambitious global #biodiversity framework.

The annual production of #plastic s worldwide has doubled over the past 25 years. But only 9% of #plastic waste is recycled.❗️We should therefore strive for an impactful United Nations treaty on plastics by the end of this year ⏳.

Glad to discuss call to action with United NationsEP Inger Andersen.

We need decisive global action to help the plastics industry shift towards a circular, sustainable business model. #TeamEurope has a good story to tell. E.g. 🇪🇺 action on single-use plastic products is good for the environment + creates new market opportunities.

No country should have to choose between fighting poverty and fighting for the planet. We must agree on a new Collective Quantified Goal on Climate Finance to allow countries to make progress on multiple fronts.

Decoupling is the right answer not asking for trade offs. Valuing nature ultimately strengthens collective resilience :
