Here we are again in front of the parliament, to remind our politicians that it's time to phase out fossil fuels! Renewable energy is better in all perspectives: clean, cheaper, easily available everywhere, rapidly scalable, and more! #fridaysforfuture

13 years ago, we welcomed the first European Solidarity Corps (ESC) volunteer to our Secretariat. Since then, we have continuously hosted ESC volunteers; usually six to eight of them simultaneously, with most staying for 10 to 12 months. Last week, we welcomed our 100th volunteer! #volunteering

Some of us were at #EUFORES ' national parliamentary workshop "Staying Competitive in a Sustainable Future: The Critical Role of Renewables and Energy Efficiency in Finland" Thank you, EUFORES, for organising this interesting event, and for inviting us! We learned a lot again!

We exchanged ideas and experiences with visitors from Shanghai, China. Usually, we contact relevant stakeholders via email and set up virtual meetings. But from time to time, it's nice to welcome other renewable energy enthusiasts to our office.

🌊 From the coast to the corridors of power, people are rising up to say STOP ROSEBANK✊ 📢 The new oil field has a pipeline through the middle of a marine protected area. It would be a disaster for our ocean & climate - if it goes ahead. For the sake of our seas #StopRosebank
