My home working buddy 🥰 my dopamine boost. Love Brussels' wildlife #brusselsmabelle

🚨 The EU is trying to quietly weaken nature laws during summer break. We have 4 days left to stop this. Don't let them destroy our rivers, forests & wildlife in silence. Don't let them scrap the rules that are there to protect us and our children #HandsOffNature handsoffnature.eu?utm=.share.b...

Europe’s competitiveness and citizens would benefit from stronger chemicals rules: close the info gap, phase out harmful substances, and ensure proper enforcement. By Margot Wallström, former vice president @ec.europa.eu, Jytte Guteland and @matsengstrom.bsky.social www.politico.eu/article/prop...

✉️ In July, the Commission will present its proposal for the new Multiannual Financial Framework post-2027. 67 MEPs call for LIFE to remain independent because it’s key to biodiversity. The environment is not a cost; it’s an investment in our future.

🚨 LIVE FROM STRASBOURG-GOOD NEWS! The European Parliament ends the ‘scandal that wasn’t’!
Today, MEPs made it clear: funding for NGOs under the EU’s LIFE programme is legal, transparent, and essential to a healthy democracy.

Home working with a view🤩🐿❤️ (PS: I think this little guy comes with a clear message: Protect the EU environmental acquis)!

🛑 Civil society is under attack — and so is our democracy. NGOs across Europe face a coordinated disinformation campaign led by far-right forces trying to silence the voices that defend people, planet, and democracy. Our @faustine-bd.bsky.social and @saskiabricmont.bsky.social on Station Europe.

Ces attaques (infondées) contre les ONGs pour leur couper tout subsides deviennent de plus en plus récurrentes hélas, voir aussi au niveau européen (avec @faustine-bd.bsky.social du @eeb.org dans l’itv ci-dessous). bx1.be/emission/sta...

💓 Civil society is the beating heart of European democracy. Today, the EEB’s @faustine-bd.bsky.social reminded the @eesc.bsky.social plenary of this fact, as she tackled baseless attacks on environmental NGOs’ LIFE funding head-on 🔥 #EESCPlenary

Big business spends millions lobbying the EU, but who are the top spenders, and what do they want? Together with @lobbycontrol.bsky.social we took a look and can reveal that declared corporate lobby spend has reached unprecedented levels. #lobbying #lobbyingfirewall #corporatecapture

Can someone please wake me up from this nightmare and say that it is not real? reporterre.net/Femme-climat....

Très bon long format pour comprendre la guerre de la lobby agricole contre l'environnement. Entre désinformation, propagande et platitudes, la vois de @faustine-bd.bsky.social se lève claire, calme, rigoureuse, et sans concessions. Bravo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ckut...

New findings show that EPP MEP Monika Hohlmeier, who is leading attacks on NGOs being funded via the EU's LIFE Programme, has a glaring conflict of interest 🚨 Hohlmeier is on the payroll of BayWa, a corporation that received €6.5 million funding from LIFE 🤯 www.corporateeurope.org/en/2025/01/c...

#dontbedelulu deal with the pollulu!!!! 💪 @eeb.org 🌱we don't only say it but we do it! Taking the train and not the plane to Warsaw for work with @chrisskriver.bsky.social

Thanks to Commissioner Jessika Roswall for a good meeting and stressing that civil society and work of NGOs are essential. We in particular talked about #PFAs scandal and the urgent need for the EU to make Europe the first PFAS-free continent! We count on you to lead the way!

Today, we co-hosted a training session at the EU Parliament focusing on how nature and sustainable agriculture can help tackle the triple crisis🌱🎓 Thanks to our hosts @pcanfin.bsky.social, Herbert Dorfmann (@eppgroup.bsky.social) and Annalisa Corrado (@socialistsanddemocrats.eu)

🔊We are many voices calling on EU leaders to tackle this problem at the root: ❌Stop fueling corporate greed #ForeverLobbying ✅#BanPFAS is the solution to this public health crisis 🔗Join the petition action.wemove.eu/sign/2024-01...

🚨Breaking news! 💶100 billion a year would be the cost to eliminate #PFAS from the environment in Europe This is the cost of inaction! Instead of leaving the #foreverchemicals industry tap open, the solution is to #BanPFAS www.lemonde.fr/en/les-decod...

#PFAS, or forever chemicals, are widespread. Check out our new report which shows how EU’s proposed PFAS restriction is at serious risk of being hijacked by corporate lobbying. Read it here and sign the petition for a #ToxicFreeEurope 👉 corporateeurope.org/en/chemical-...

Did you know... 👩‍🌾Only ≈30% of EU farms are run by women 💰And their income is >1/3 lower than those owned by men 🔴Our @faustine-bd.bsky.social is at the EU Parliament to discuss the challenges and opportunities for #GenderEquality in EU food and farming👇 multimedia.europarl.europa.eu/en/webstream...

Welcome again to the new @ec.europa.eu My organisation @eeb.org did some research for you and found that water in your hometowns is polluted by toxic #PFAS .We can't stop drinking but you have the POWER to stop our poisoning by banning PFAS! #BanPFAS #ToxicFreeFuture👇

Ursula von der Leyen should learn from the backlash 2004 against the 'Bolkestein directive' and consult closely with trade unions + civil society before presenting a wide-ranging #omnibus deregulation act. @estherlynch.bsky.social @judekd.bsky.social @arcapde.bsky.social @faustine-bd.bsky.social

The 3rd of December 2024 will sadly be remembered as the day when- against science and citizens' demands- the European Union started a suicidal backtracking on one of its most successful conservation efforts. 😢👇

Was a pleasure to take part in @tommysoutdoors.com podcast. I explain why weakening wolves' protection goes against science and is a huge threat to our future. Very timely given that EU wolves' fate is being discussed right now at Bern Convention meeting #SaveTheWolf👇

As Ministers meet today for the COMP Council we @eeb.org sent an open letter reminded them of: 1. the huge cost of inaction 2. the shortfalls of Draghi's report 3. A strong regulatory framework is not a constraint; but foundation of competitiveness and innovation👇 eeb.org/wp-content/u...

Can you hear the Howl???🐺 Next week the Standing Committee of the Bern Convention will decide whether to downgrade the protection status of wolves on the basis of a unlawful unscientific and undemocratic plan of the @ec.europa.eu Let's ask them to reject the move 👇

🌍 Pollution: The Missing Piece in the EU’s Ambitions The new EU Commission’s mission letters fail to address pollution, a key driver of the triple crises. 🗨️ “We can’t meet climate goals without tackling pollution. EU standards aren’t obstacles—they’re solutions for a competitive, prosperous Europe.”

Yes!!👍 A crucial step towards cleaner air in the EU. -> air pollution harms our lungs and respiratory tract but also enter the bloodstream, affecting the heart, brain, kidneys, liver, pancreas, endocrine glands, and more😱. Now it is for Member States to properly implement the EU law! #CleanAirEU
