🥵🫠 24°C difference in land surface temperature between Brussels city centre and Forest de Soignes yesterday! 🔥Concrete traps the heat, forests let it breathe 🌬️ Another stark reminder that trees and green spaces in cities aren’t just more beautiful, they cool, protect, and keep them livable🌳

Knowing the real impact of companies on people & nature:👍 Weakening reporting rules and allowing greenwashing:👎 The EU is trying to weaken its own sustainability rules, so we teamed up with 29 other orgs to demand strong & effective EU Sustainability Reporting Standards! tinyurl.com/y88e5fxr

🙅 Tell decision makers to keep their #HandsOffNature! Delaying the EU Deforestation Regulation = 50M trees lost yearly + 17M tonnes of CO₂ released + risks for our health and nature. When leaders won’t do the math, public pressure becomes essential. ✍️ Add your voice: www.wwf.eu/campaigns/ha...

🎅 Santa’s not the only one working hard this season! 🌲Forests and wetlands are busy storing #CO2 and sheltering wildlife, but they need our help too, over the last decade EU's nature removed 30% less CO2 from the air. We need to protect nature so it can help us 💪

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.

The votes are in, and the result is... 🥁🥁🥁 📢DEREGULATION! With the finalisation of the first omnibus package, the EU’s Corporate Sustainability laws are weakened, meaning fewer protections for the environment and people against corporate harm. 🔗 tinyurl.com/4fdn8p3u

Nature loss = financial risk, but financial regulators fail to catch up. 🌳⚠️ WWF’s #SUSREG2025 shows that progress is being made, with EU central banks among the leaders, but big nature risks are still absent from financial rules, which could derail Europe’s 2030 goals. 🔗 tinyurl.com/susreg25
