Europe cannot build resilient #FoodSystems while post-harvest governance remains politically underaddressed. #TrueFoodS examines how fragmented EU policies shape food loss, sustainability, and resilience across #PostHarvest systems.

Can an agricultural emissions trading scheme cut agricultural emissions in the EU? New report commissioned by @umweltbundesamt.bsky.social shows EU compliance policy designs to price agricultural emissions & trade-offs between coverage, feasibility and cost-efficiency. 👉 www.ecologic.eu/de/20441

NbS are still planned site by site – ecosystems don’t work that way. A new #PONDERFUL paper explores challenges in implementing landscape-scale NbS, using “pondscapes” as an example. Scaling NbS ≠ scaling standard approaches. It demands rethinking assessment & planning. doi.org/10.1007/s107...

Our environmental crime expert, Stephan Sina, is quoted in Handelsblatt on Germany’s environmental crime reform. Stronger laws matter, but enforcement depends on cooperation between authorities and the capacity to monitor and act. Read the article: www.handelsblatt.com/politik/deut...

New guidelines on evaluating the CAP’s green architecture focus on how instruments work together, not in isolation. They provide a framework to assess effectiveness, coherence and efficiency, helping identify synergies and gaps in delivering climate and environmental goals. 👉 www.ecologic.eu/20398

The CAP can do more to support reduced pesticide use – but key instruments need to be strengthened and better aligned. Our new SPRINT policy brief highlights key considerations for the post-2027 CAP. 📄 www.ecologic.eu/20421 #EUPolicy #CAP #Agriculture

Farewell to our International Climate Protection Fellow from @humboldt-foundation.de, Carlos Calzadilla Guerra! His work on scaling nature-based solutions in Latin American cities will soon be published as a practical guide. Thanks for the inspiring collaboration - we hope our paths cross again!

Renovations, electrification, and heat pump adoption are lagging in the EU, slowing climate progress. ECNO’s analysis shows stronger policies, funding, and support are crucial to speed up the transition and boost energy security. 📖 Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-...

EU agriculture isn’t reducing pesticide use – it’s locked into it. Our SPRINT policy brief argues that incremental fixes won’t work. What’s needed is a systemic shift to agroecology. 🔗 www.ecologic.eu/20396

The Clean Industrial Transition Monitor by @ecno-climate.bsky.social shows where enabling conditions are taking shape and where gaps remain. We contributed to this analysis. 🎥 Recording: climateobservatory.eu/live-recordi... 📄 Report: climateobservatory.eu/report/clean...

EU industry isn’t cutting emissions fast enough. Energy and resource efficiency are improving, but CO₂ drop from 2023 came from lower production, not greener processes. Strong policies are needed to accelerate decarbonisation. 📖 Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-...

💧 Who will pay for Europe’s freshwater restoration? At the final events, the @merlin-project.bsky.social discussed how to finance large-scale restoration – from CAP funding and private finance to value chains for restoration. Key takeaway: Europe must increase investment in freshwater restoration.

Naturbasierte Lösungen stärken Klimaresilienz, doch ihr Nutzen bleibt oft unsichtbar. Ein neuer UBA-Leitfaden zeigt, wie Stadtkarten NbS sichtbar machen und Klimaanpassung kommunizieren können. Für mehr Bewusstsein, bessere Entscheidungen und stärkere Akzeptanz. 🔗 www.ecologic.eu/de/20348
