European Environmental Bureau🍃 @eeb.org · 15h🚨Today, EU ambassadors approved the Council’s position on speeding up environmental assessments.

European Environmental Bureau🍃 @eeb.org · 29/09/2026🏗️ Europe’s clean industrial transition needs a serious push. The Commission’s new public procurement rules put climate and environmental goals more firmly on the agenda. That’s a step forward, but green procurement must be binding and ambitious enough to avoid a race to the bottom. 1117

European Environmental Bureau🍃 @eeb.org · 10/09/2026🦩 After nature protections weakened, developers pushed for a resort in Albania, sparking uproar. Now the EU is weakening nature and public checks for large “strategic” projects (e.g. giga data centres).

European Environmental Bureau🍃 @eeb.org · 28/08/2026Producers should be responsible for the impacts of the electronics they make and sell, from production to disposal Yet EU schemes to hold them accountable are fragmented, unclear and too weak to support prevention, repair and reuse Read our recommendations to rewire them👇 eeb.org/en/library/p... 1135
European Environmental Bureau🍃 @eeb.org · 28/08/202630% of EU waste is dumped in landfills whose environmental legacy can last for centuries.

European Environmental Bureau🍃 @eeb.org · 14/08/2026Europe’s heatwaves are stress-testing our power system. 🌞 Solar generation was 17% higher during heatwaves, helping meet surging cooling demand. 🔥 Nuclear plants faced constraints from heat and drought. 💸 Gas had to step in as other thermal plants struggled, pushing up power prices. The lesson? 👇 1148
European Environmental Bureau🍃 @eeb.org · 12/08/2026Climate action is about making life better.

European Environmental Bureau🍃 @eeb.org · 10/08/2026Cement is a great example. While the industry status quo gamble on costly CCS to solve their problems in a distant, uncertain future, frontrunners are already producing near-zero-carbon cement How? Using less clinker, alternative binders, cold processes, electrification and recycled concrete. 152
European Environmental Bureau🍃 @eeb.org · 10/08/2026🦄 Unicorns don’t cut emissions. Carbon capture has had decades and billions to prove itself. Its poor results should set off alarm bells for us all. We already have cheaper, proven solutions to slash emissions now, even for “hard-to-abate” sectors. Stop chasing unicorns. Start scaling what works. 55924
European Environmental Bureau🍃 @eeb.org · 05/08/2026So what will the money actually pay for? 👇 ⬆️ Upgrading social housing to cut bills 🏡 Installing heat pumps, rooftop solar & battery storage ⚡️Helping micro-enterprises switch to electric vehicles & install charging points 🚌 Expanding free, on-demand community transport with new electric vehicles 193
European Environmental Bureau🍃 @eeb.org · 05/08/2026🌞 Want proof that making polluters pay works?
