Today, negotiators need to ensure the Nature Restoration Law has teeth! We call on @cesarluena, @VSinkevicius & @Teresaribera to agree on a Nature Restoration Law fit to address the global climate & biodiversity crises We need to #RestoreNature now! https://t.co/LYnX1Ci9fP

The Nature Restoration Law saga needs a happy ending ✨ @cesarluena, @VSinkevicius & @Teresaribera we count on you to listen to citizens, industry, NGOs & scientists and deliver a law with teeth! We must #RestoreNature to truly tackle the climate & biodiversity crises 🚨

🌊🌡️ From floods to heatwaves, from wildfires to droughts, climate change disasters are becoming more frequent and severe across all of Europe. EU leaders must step up and deliver proper action to safeguard our future. We need a strong Nature Restoration Law!🌱 #RestoreNature

10% of bees in Europe face extinction due to agricultural practices, including toxic pesticides. 🚨Tomorrow, @EP_Environment votes on the future of pesticide use in the EU. Vote for a #PesticideFreeEU to SaveBeesAndFarmers 🐝🌿@CiolosDacian @tbasescu @RovanaPlumbMM @nicustefanuta

The Nature Restoration Law is within our reach 🫴 European leaders have a historic opportunity to adopt the first EU law to tackle both climate & biodiversity crises at the same time. Let's remind them that citizens want to #RestoreNature & secure a safer future for us all!

They store & purify water, stock twice as much carbon as forests, boost biodiversity, protect us from floods & droughts. But our peatlands need to be ✨healthy✨ to deliver all these benefits! A strong Nature Restoration Law must include peatland restoration! #RestoreNature

How do we know humans are responsible for #climatechange? IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report shows that the dominant role of humans in driving recent climate change is clear. This is based on a synthesis of information from multiple lines of evidence. ➡️ https://t.co/qy5ZEedhB0

"This update on Planetary Boundaries clearly depicts a patient that is unwell, as pressure on the planet increases and vital boundaries are being breached," says @jrockstrom, one of the study's authors.

MAJOR UPDATE: All planetary boundaries are assessed, and six are crossed. For the first time ever, scientists have quantified all nine planetary boundaries. Six of them are already transgressed and we are increasing pressure on the others. Read more: https://t.co/QkDpxH2BOl

Here's a video explainer of our new @ScienceMagazine Policy Forum. We show that many big businesses are carrying out ecosystem restoration, but few are reporting outcomes with appropriate transparency. Paper at https://t.co/aLWyFAvEuh, DM me for a copy if you can't get access

Wine lover: The climate needs you!

(1/2) People value nature in many ways but this diversity is often not accounted for in key political & economic decisions. A new study, led by @unaipasku, building directly on @IPBES #ValuesAssessment has been published in @Nature (open access). ➡️ https://t.co/Sx5sdvkTcG

🍃 New study shows how the undervaluation of nature is critical to the environmental crisis we face. Check out the new article exploring nature values, valuation methods, and global impacts. GRP’s Policy Officer @dabicho2990 is one of the co-authors. https://t.co/XpyLpFZRgP

🔴The European Commission has weakened sustainability reporting standards under industry pressure. This is a serious betrayal of trust and undermines Europe's claim to leadership in building a sustainable economy! #ESRS #CSRD https://t.co/xOiGN22fqg
