All we want for Christmas is stable prices & accelerated energy transition!🎅💶🌱 By providing cheaper loans to banks for funding green projects, the @ecb.europa.eu can make our wish come true! 👀Read all about it in our new study: tinyurl.com/4ezx9tva

This #Christmas let’s think about what we eat and how agriculture could support #CarbonRemovals in Europe 🐄Reducing livestock & demand for meat & dairy products 🔁Stop using land for biofuels 💧Rewetting peatlands 🌿Supporting sustainable grazing Tips & recommendations👇 wwf.eu/what_we_do/a...

As we prepare our favourite dishes for the festivities, farmers are still taking to the streets. What’s going on? It’s time to ask the right questions: ⁉️ Do we have a bad system? 🥗 Is the food we eat “good”? 💸 Who pays the price? 🎧Watch the podcast episode www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u5z...

Let’s celebrate 25 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 EU water laws💧🎉 For a quarter of a century, the Water Framework Directive has been protecting our waters. The @ec.europa.eu cannot reopen this law to satisfy the interests of polluting industry – there's too much at stake! #HandsOffNature

New report: EU countries' progress on implementing the Nature Restoration Law 🦋🌳🪸 Our mid-term evaluation of National Restoration Plans reveals frontrunners & what needs to happen so we can #RestoreNature all around Europe! Read more: www.wwf.eu?20421666/Nat...

Europe’s housing crisis can’t be fully tackled with the new Affordable Housing Plan.🏘️ 🔨Building homes is good but without a serious push to renovate millions of inefficient homes, people stay exposed to high bills & energy shocks. Europe needs new supply + massive renovation + proper financing.

The votes are in, and the result is... 🥁🥁🥁 📢DEREGULATION! With the finalisation of the first omnibus package, the EU’s Corporate Sustainability laws are weakened, meaning fewer protections for the environment and people against corporate harm. 🔗 tinyurl.com/4fdn8p3u

As extreme weather hits Europe, costs are rising. Banks should help mitigate climate risks but @shareaction.bsky.social’s new analysis shows: ⚠️Progress has slowed. Some big banks are even backtracking 🌍Average bank scores: Climate 52%, Biodiversity 22%, Indigenous rights 7% 🔗 tinyurl.com/mvyummp3

🔴 Stop #overfishing 🟢 #Rebuild Europe’s fish stocks This is civil society's message to the Commissioner for Fisheries and Oceans, Costas Kadis, during today & tomorrow's meeting of the #AgriFish Council. Eyes are now on the Commissioner and Council: Will they listen to the science?

🪓@eea.europa.eu says increased logging is a major reason why EU forests are absorbing less #CO2 🔥This is a political choice, not an irreversible fact. They point at the nature restoration law, reduced harvesting & carbon farming to reverse the trend 👉 www.eea.europa.eu/en/analysis/...

Nature loss = financial risk, but financial regulators fail to catch up. 🌳⚠️ WWF’s #SUSREG2025 shows that progress is being made, with EU central banks among the leaders, but big nature risks are still absent from financial rules, which could derail Europe’s 2030 goals. 🔗 tinyurl.com/susreg25

CITES CoP20, the global forum where governments set the rules about international wildlife trade, has just finished with mixed results: 🦈 Wins for sharks, rays & big cats 😔 Disappointment for eels that need stronger protection Read more 👉 www.wwf.eu?20313366/CIT... #CITES #CITESCoP20

In a shocking move for Europe’s environment, the @ec.europa.eu has announced plans to revise the Water Framework Directive, giving the mining industry more leeway to pollute our waters 😱 Our reaction 👉https://www.wwf.eu/?20312891/European-Commissions-reckless-move-risks-derailing-water-protections

The @ecb.europa.eu can help shield Europe from fossil fuel price shocks AND support the climate at the same time! 🌳📈 Through green refinancing operations (cheaper loans for banks funding green projects), both the economy and the climate can win. 🔗 Read WWF’s new study: tinyurl.com/4ezx9tva

Global #fisheries are at a tipping point, with the #Mediterranean Sea among the most exploited. But here’s the good news: Where management works, fish stocks thrive. In the EU, we have legislative tools to help turn the tide. Let's put them to work 💪 Visual: @fao.org

💙Tomorrow is #MediterraneanDay 💙 The Mediterranean Sea is a biodiversity hotspot, home to 17,000+ marine species, and over 20% are found nowhere else on Earth. But this natural treasure is under threat. We can change this. Follow @wwfmediterranean.bsky.social to find out more!

🌍⚠️ #COP30 ends with small steps but no real breakthrough 👎A full year above 1.5°C wasn't enough to find an adequate agreement on phasing out #FossilFuels and financing adaptation 👍 the agreement on a #JustTransition mechasism is a silver lining Read our reaction here 👇 www.wwf.eu?20170391/EU-...

Did you know, fish feature in pretty much every step of the underwater food chain, keeping our marine system balanced? But we are rapidly maxing out our planet's reserves. This #WorldFisheriesDay, we urge the @ec.europa.eu and EU Member States to put the EU Common Fisheries Policy to work 💪

At #COP30 let's discuss how #agriculture cannot only play a role in reducing #emissions, but also for #CarbonRemovals by: 🔥Stop using land for biofuels 💧Rewetting peatlands 🐄Reducing livestock & demand for meat & dairy 🌾Supporting sustainable grazing Read more here 👇 www.wwf.eu?19190941/cli...

☑️Yes, we have the Commission's proposal to revise the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation ❌No, it doesn’t fix greenwashing ❌No, it doesn’t close fossil fuel investment loopholes ❌No, it doesn’t give retail investors the clarity they need We need a science-based overhaul! tinyurl.com/ydax9uck

WWF EU signed a pledge to cut #FossilFuels out of politics! That means: 🛢️Protecting policymaking from fossil fuel capture 🪟Demanding transparency 🗣️Raising awareness of fossil fuel lobbyists’ privileged access to decision makers ✂️Making it a fundamental part of our work Will you join us?👇

🏗️Green #steel demand will stay limited without EU action to cut the carbon intensity of products, #ArcelorMittal Belgium’s CEO is right about that. 🛠️But companies must also step up: strong corporate commitments are key to making green steel the norm. Industry must lead the change 👉 bit.ly/44iqGTw

1/2🧵 🌎 Who really holds the power at COP30? 🚨 More than 1,600 lobbyists from the fossil fuel industry attended #COP30 in Belém, outnumbering almost all national delegations. 👉 Read more: bit.ly/4rdvP9x

Renovation financing should be central in the @ec.europa.eu’s Affordable Housing Plan, and 12 orgs agree. 👷‍♂️🏡 Energy-leaky homes = rising bills + high emissions + external dependencies. Time to support households & roll out the right tools to boost renovation investment! 🔗 tinyurl.com/5b7uwxky

With today's #omnibus vote on corporate sustainability laws, the EU Parliament turned its back on nature & climate - not for the first time. 🔥🌳 🚨Alliances between conservative MEPS and far-right groups signal a troubling shift in the EU.

"Biodiversity is the new CO2" But many companies don't know where to start. Our It's Now for Nature Accelerators, like The Biodiversity Shift by @wwf.eu F and The Shift, guide businesses through developing credible nature strategies.

🔥Corporate sustainability laws altered beyond recognition at today’s @europarl.europa.eu #omnibus vote. Conservatives sided with the far-right to dilute the #CSRD & #CSDDD in the name of ‘simplification’, at the expense of nature, people & long-term business success. 🔗 tinyurl.com/mn5tkrc9

🌱A #JustTransition isn’t optional, it’s essential 🛢️ #COP30 must deliver a global mechanism to shift away from #FossilFuels, 💸But it also needs back the transition with real money and support for the Global South and those who need it most 💪Real funding is needed, not just empty promises

While #COP30 discusses the #bioeconomy, the EU is destroying its own forests in the name of #ClimateAction Instead, the @ec.europa.eu should: 💰Phase-out subsidies for #biomass 💡Implement the cascading use principle ⚠️Ensure scarce biomass is used in sectors with no other options

The #ENVI committee in @europarl.europa.eu voted on the 2040 climate target Some positive tweaks were made on the quality of offsets in comparison to the Council position, but many issues remain. Thursday, all #MEPs must back these improvements in plenary, so they make it in the final agreement

Extreme weather + nature loss = widening insurance protection gap 🔥🌊🚨 At #COP30, WWF calls on policymakers to embed climate mitigation, nature conservation, and strategic insurance solutions at the heart of financial resilience. 🔗https://tinyurl.com/5hctrf54

🫠 Our planet is melting before our eyes. 2024 was the hottest year on record, the first to exceed 1.5°C of warming 🌡️ ⏰ We face tipping points, but it’s not too late. Across every sector, we have the tools to act for a cleaner, safer future. Leaders at #COP30: Time to act.

🌊🚨 Ocean health decline poses systemic risks to the economy. WWF’s new Ocean Guide shows how regulators can safeguard $5.1T in ocean assets & build a sustainable blue economy. 🔗wwf.panda.org/?14981966/Oceans-on-the-balance-sheet-WWF-calls-for-financial-system-reform

We did the math and the results are clear: extreme weather + fossil fuel shocks = higher prices. 🔥💶📈 Achieving EU-wide price stability requires the inclusion of climate considerations in #ECB policy. 👀Read more in @wwf.be’s fossilflation & climateflation report: tinyurl.com/3jusn8s8

🌍A 90% emission reduction target by 2040 might look bold…until you realise it's propped up by international offsets and other loopholes🕳️ 📉The real figure could fall below 85% 🃏Europe needs to stop betting on loopholes and start cutting emissions at home✂️ Our reaction👇 www.wwf.eu?19922441/204...

Businesses support strong sustainability rules, proves new #WeAreEurope & Wageningen University survey. ✅38%+ benefit from due diligence on human rights & environment ✅3 in 5 want mandatory value-chain due diligence in EU law ✅Most see #CSDDD as a competitive edge and reject watering down the law

⏰It's time: the EU’s credibility on human rights & climate is on the line. Ahead of the #Omnibus I vote, 140+ EU & non-EU CSOs urge MEPs to back a strong, fair deal that protects workers, communities & our planet, not corporate interests. corporatejustice.org/publications...

Europe's nature is absorbing less #CO2. Still nature is our best ally to fix the climate, we just need to let it. To help us reach our #ClimateGoals EU countries must: 🔒Protect primary & old-growth forests 🌱Rewet peatlands 🌿Forest restoration 🚫Stop land conversion We know what to do. Let’s do it 💪

🐟 New research shows EU import controls may be failing to keep illegal seafood off our plates. Every failure to check high-risk imports is an open invitation to illegal operators. The EU Commission must hold Member States accountable. Please share the report ⬇️ www.wwf.eu?19829816/bey...

2025 is a significant milestone for achieving the EU's 2030 climate and energy targets 🎯 BUT! There are serious doubts on Member States’ ability to deliver on their respective climate and energy objectives ⚠️ It is time for the EU correct course - Read how below👇 caneurope.org/eus-2030-ene...

Together with 7 NGOs, we urge the European Commission to make stewardship requirements a core part of the 🔜 #SFDR review 📣Clear rules on how financial actors engage with companies when progress lags are a key element to drive the EU’s green and just transition 🔗 tinyurl.com/5upvxrsv

🚨Companies successfully deliver on climate transition plans, challenging the idea that EU corporate sustainability laws are too complex In fact, it’s proper implementation of sustainability laws, not their deregulation, that can help reach EU climate commitments Read the report👉 tinyurl.com/wwfctp

🌳Nature knows how to store carbon. Up to 54% of man-made #CarbonDioxide has been absorbed by nature. 🦋At the same time it offers many other advantages for people’s health and #biodiversity. That’s why we need to prioritise nature-based solutions when thinking about #CO₂ removals

Yesterday, European leaders discussed the #2040ClimateTarget, only to hand the baton straight back to environment ministers One thing is clear: 90% is the only number on the table It’s now time to endorse this target and limit the amount of international offsets 👉 www.wwf.eu?19760941/euc...
