NetworkNature EU’s Post

🌿 Biodiversity has been a cornerstone of the EU legislative agenda. However, powerful lobbies are now trying to portray it as an obstacle to food and energy security. 🛑   ⏸ Calls for a 'pause' in environmental action risk pushing nature and our economies to the brink. We urge EU leaders to tackle climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution by strengthening the European Green Deal for a Nature-Positive Europe by 2030. 🌍💚 These are the proposals from the European Habitats Forum to make nature great again 📄👇 #RestoreNature #GreenDeal #Biodiversity

The European Council's draft Strategic Agenda 2024-2029 raises significant concerns regarding biodiversity and climate action. Of concern is the lack of consideration of biodiversity and the minimal focus on climate change, which is shifted primarily to adaptation measures. These decisions have far-reaching implications as they not only shape EU policy, but also influence the allocation of funds under the upcoming Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). IFAW calls on Member States to address these issues and incorporate a stronger EU commitment to the environment in the agenda of the next political term. The European Union must ensure that nature-based solutions and conservation efforts are prioritised to protect our planet's biodiversity and tackle the urgent challenges of climate change. We will continue to follow these developments closely. #Environment #Biodiversity #ClimateAction
