After a summer of deadly heatwaves and wildfires, the EU must make nature-based solutions the first line of defence against climate disasters. As work begins on the European Framework for Climate Resilience, nature must be at the heart of adaptation policy. 🌿📄 eureau.org/wp-content/u...

🏔️ The polluting industries might be loud with their ETS attacks but it is the masses that can move the mountains. 📢 We have that MASS supporting the ETS - across Europe! ➡️ 72% of Europeans say that companies emitting the most or failing to reduce their emissions should pay more than others.
caneurope.org
Seven in ten across Europe say biggest polluters and climate laggards should pay more, challenging rollback of EU ETS 
Despite the continues attacks from the polluting industries, new data shows that European citizens want to stay the course on EU ETS.

It's been a rough year for Europe's fish stocks. The cause? Massive overfishing. Nature can bounce back. In the EU, we have legislative tools to make that happen, like the EU Common Fisheries Policy. But we need more urgency in the implementation. Please share this post 🔁

Europe’s housing crisis can’t be fully tackled with the new Affordable Housing Plan.🏘️ 🔨Building homes is good but without a serious push to renovate millions of inefficient homes, people stay exposed to high bills & energy shocks. Europe needs new supply + massive renovation + proper financing.
