In recent years, women and girls in Egypt have had to put their lives on the line to help make ends meet for their families. #TheRealCostOfDebt is economic policies that allow the price of everyday essentials to sky rocket while 51% of government spending goes to paying creditors.

This summer has been heatwaves, droughts and fire. Yet, polluters are still pushing to weaken the very laws that protect our best defence: healthy nature. Over 80% of Europe’s habitats are already in poor condition. We need stronger nature. ✊ Tell the EU: #HandsOffNature yeenet.eu/handsoffnatu...

The EU’s new Livestock Strategy falls short. 🌾 Nearly two-thirds of EU protein comes from animal sources, but the EU is choosing to protect an outdated, corporate model instead of securing a future for young farmers. Read YEE’s full take on "Inheriting a broken system" 👉 yeenet.eu/inheriting-a...

What would a truly resilient Europe look like by 2030? The EU’s 2026 Climate Resilience Package must put nature-based solutions at its core. 90% of extreme weather is water-related. Restore nature, uphold EU law, phase out harmful subsidies. Resilience starts with living systems. #HandsOffNature

Failing to manage climate mitigation in a just way comes at a high price. Mass unemployment, rising welfare costs and regional decline are the real risks of an unmanaged transition. A strong #JustTransition helps protect jobs, reduce inequality and keep regions resilient. 📕: link.europa.eu/8JVrTY
