Lundi: 9 belges lancent une action en justice contre (notamment) la Région bxloise pour le droit à un air sain.
Vendredi: @rudivervoort veut "temporiser" des plans de circulation pouvant améliorer la qualité de l'air pour les bxlois. 🤦♀️🤷♀️

🌿 What do NGOs, citizens, scientists, European businesses, @EU_EESC and @Eurocities have in common? They all want the @EUCouncil to adopt the Nature Restoration Law.
📣No more delays, time to #RestoreNature is running out! ⏳
On Monday, the contenders for the position of President of the @EU_Commission will debate in Maastricht. I have a question for them: as we are facing a climate, nature and pollution crisis, what will they prioritize to protect us and the planet? #MaastrichtDebate@POLITICOEurope
"It's like rubbing salt in a wound": farmers are feeling first-hand the effects of climate change and biodiversity loss. Undermining the elements of the CAP that are meant to preserve soils & biodiversity won't make their situation any better. https://t.co/k0uFijemBy
@EU_Commission's proposal to remove basic environmental conditions in the CAP is anti-democratic & feeds the false narrative that we must pick between environment or agriculture. We and 15 orgs ask @vonderleyen to withdraw the proposal.

PREMIÈRE EN BELGIQUE ! Hugues, paysan belge, assigne @TotalEnergies en justice pour son rôle dans le dérèglement climatique. Ce géant des énergies fossiles est l'une des entreprises qui émet le plus de gaz à effet de serre dans le monde.
Tomorrow, @Europarl_EN will take its final decision on the #IndustrialEmissionsDirective.
We need a stronger legal framework to protect water, air and climate.
MEPs, your vote can make or break it: keep the IED deal and be #cleanindustry champions!
🌳WIN FOR THE PLANET🌳
Today the European parliament voted to back the the first EU law to #RestoreNature.
This historic law sets the EU on a path to tackle the biodiversity and climate crises when we've never needed it more. @Europarl_EN https://t.co/317GIlt2eg
I am thankful to all those who defended the 🇪🇺 Nature Restoration Law today!
Why it’s crucial:
To keep our soils & lands productive & safeguard our farmers’ future
To tackle biodiversity crisis & meet our climate targets
To preserve our economic basis for many of our industries
🔴 SECURED!!
We have approved the first 🇪🇺 Nature Restoration Law in history!
We move from protecting and conserving nature to restoring it.
We did it 💪🏽💪🏽
#RestoreNature
Top EU leaders are meeting with the fossil fuel and chemicals industry today to discuss an industrial deal.
The interests of communities threatened by pollution are seemingly left out.
That's unacceptable.
Today is an important day for corporate accountability: the EU #CSDDD awaits @EUcouncil approval.
🇩🇪's disappointing announcement it may abstain prompted a huge wave of support for the landmark Directive this week—including 300+ #BizHumanRights experts ⬇️ https://t.co/bMTRhoAD8J
New version available!
Our Open Letter, originally signed by 6000 scientists in support of the Sustainable Use Regulations and the Nature Restoration Law, has now been expanded to a full paper reflecting on the role of science in debunking misinformation.

1/2 If the EU doesn't set climate targets for the agriculture & food sectors, it's setting itself & farmers up to fail. No climate targets mean emissions will keep fuelling the climate crisis - a threat to farmers & Europeans who need them for healthy food https://t.co/xO353BA23D
Businesses make urgent call for support for #CSDDD ahead of crunch @EUcouncil vote this week, following German Govt's announcement it may abstain.
@Bayer,@MarsGlobal, @Tchibo_presse, @VAUDE_sport & others affirm business support for Trilogue result ⬇️ https://t.co/SSg4yA4Svz
The EU and State leaders have to agree on a clear vision for the future of agriculture and our food system. Farmers need better support to transition to sustainable practices and build their resilience in the face of the climate and biodiversity crises.
They cannot do it alone.
Europeans aren't happy about the quality of the air they breathe.
New report by @eu_commission shows people in cities like Bucharest, Paris, Athens are worried about breathing toxic air. @EUCouncil should put EU citizens' health first in the Air Quality Directive negotiations.
Small Island Developing States @AOSISChair not in the plenary when GST was approved #COP28. ‘The question is whether there’s enough’ ‘The course correction that is needed has not been secured’ ‘We have made an incremental against business as usual when we need exponential change’
The latest #COP28 draft text sent shock waves through civil society and delegations in Dubai. 4 reasons why:
1. It doesn't reflect what science clearly says - we need to phase out fossil fuels in a fair, just manner with a clear timeline outlined in IPCC scenarios. 🧵(1/5)
BREAKING #COP28: Small Island Developing States @AOSISChair very concerned by the current draft text: “weak langage on fossil fuels”, “completely insufficient”. “It doesn’t refer to a phase out at all.” “Any text that compromises 1.5°C will be rejected.” Minister Cedric Schuster
