These forests store 2 times as much CO2 as younger forests
But old growth & primary forests are now rare, small & fragmented
They are unique ecosystems & a prime example of our natural heritage, that's why we need to protect them!

And the 2024 State Forest Conference is officially opened! 2 days of presentations, excursions and networking against the background of Gdańsk and its forests🌳🇵🇱. This morning the kick-off with presentations by @LPanstwowe’s DG @jerzyfijas and @Marco_Onida from the 🇪🇺 Commission
🌲By 2030, we want to plant three billion additional trees.
With our Forest Strategy, we are taking action to protect and restore forests while ensuring they are managed more sustainably.
You can be part of this effort by using the 'MapMyTree' app.
#EUGreenDeal#3BillionTrees
Fantastic panel discussion on national uptake of our #3BillionTree pledge w insights by forest business on regenerative tree management , importance of hedges & right governance to ensure planting the right tree at the right place at the right time and for the right purpose
Nessuno "schiaffo agli agricoltori", non c'e' nessun nesso fra il Green Deal e i problemi degli agricoltori. Sorprende il titolo fuorviante di questo articolo @LaStampa@ArielBrunner https://t.co/91j1HY046o
This is mind-blowingly bad.Most up-to-date study on Atlantic Ocean currents system shows signals of collapse.This could happen in 2025-2095 with 95% probability. Land to grow wheat may drop by half. Winter temperatures in North Europe could drop between 10 and 30 °C. 1/🧵
Terrorism laws used repeatedly across Europe against peaceful protesters asking for climate action and against (not so peaceful) protestors against dams, airports etc.
But #FarmersProtest2024 mobs seem free to break and burn anything.
Why?
Our 🇪🇺 Observatory covering deforestation & forest degradation worldwide is now available online!
It shows maps, datasets on changes in the 🌍 forest cover & drivers such as forest fires & extreme events, supporting our work on tackling deforestation.

Complimenti a quei geni di @Trenitaliano trenitalia a Milano che fanno contemporaneamente sbarcare e imbarcare centinaia di passeggeri di due frecciarossa in una banchina larga 8 metri.
We all want forests that are as wonderful as this autumn @CopernicusEU 🛰️ image captured in Italy.
Our new proposal for a 🇪🇺 Forest Monitoring Law will enable the collection & sharing of timely & comparable forest data.
EU-wide for the first time!
