A project of hope, to strenthen Europe - quality jobs, a collective agreement, a fair days pay for a fair days work in decent and safe conditions and respect for all workers no matter where they are from or who they love. Great discussion! @NewEconomyForum
Breaking: the EU has a nature restoration law
Its gonna be months before my nails will have grown back after this one
no other part of the world has this little nature left, needed this law more, and got so close to not having it
⚠️ EU countries failing to support the Nature Restoration Law are failing to meet public opinion.
💡 A survey in NL, FI, HU, IT, PL and SE shows that 3 out of 4 citizens support the law.
📣 Governments: time to listen and act for nature. #RestoreNature now!

8/ International partnerships must prioritise eradicating poverty, as outlined in the EU's founding treaties.
The current strategy is eroding development aid principles, a dangerous trend that we must oppose.
An assault on Rafah would be a strategic mistake, a political calamity & a humanitarian nightmare.
I appeal to all those with influence over Israel to do everything in their power to help avert even more tragedy.
Thank you for having me @ETUI_org ! 🙏🏾
Indeed, as the fastest-warming continent with growing inequality, putting the #ecosocial dimension second to competitiveness is not a mistake the EU can afford, not least in the interest of staying competitive ⚠️
What are the possible roadmaps towards an #EcoSocial#EuropeanGreenDeal? 🌱✊
🌐 Social objectives must be integrated with the green and not just considered an add-on, with more stringent monitoring needed when it comes to governance - Josefine Vanhille, @UAntwerpen
🌍 #Nature is our best ally against #ClimateChange and our best adaptation strategy – make the EGD more social, but make it more green too - Mags Bird, @WWFEU
👷 Climate change adaptation cannot come second to #competitiveness, especially as 'boosting competitiveness' often equates #labour market deregulation

‘Competitiveness is not in itself a flawed concept but we have had the wrong focus’ says @MARIODRAGHI19 Agree! Focus must be on a true social market economy that ensures all can live in dignity, participate in society and have the support they need across their lives! #lahulpe
Less where is Kate Middleton, more the fossil fuel industry knew they were making our planet uninhabitable and the people responsible should be in jail
Must focus on social dimension of climate-friendly transformation, survey shows –@GermanEnvAgency head
“We need to design policies in a way that social challenges are taken into account,” says @DirkMessner; adds govt should finally set up #Klimageld

The EPP has been campaigning against the Nature Restoration Regulation, saying it's defending the interests of farmers in doing so.
Businesses are replying such opposition is non-sense.

Clean energy critics often argue that addressing climate change will require too much mining.
So I looked into the data.
I found that our current fossil fuel economy requires 535x more mining than a 100% clean energy economy would.

With barely a year until the next 🇪🇺European elections, the EU legislative cycle is slowly coming to an end.
March will see the end of important negotiations, late new proposals, and a first glimpse into the green legacy of the current @EU_Commission & @Europarl_EN.
