🌿 On #WorldHabitatsDay Europe’s habitats are in trouble.

📉 81% of habitats protected under EU law are in poor or bad condition — and most are still declining.

We need full implementation of environmental law, shows #EuropesEnvironment2025: www.eea.europa.eu/en/europe-en...

Great news for your health and the planet! 🌍 The EU 🇪🇺 has adopted a law to restrict all #PFAS in firefighting foams.

This restriction, developed by ECHA, is another important step towards reducing PFAS pollution across Europe.

A firefighter in a full-body, silver aluminized suit is holding a large nozzle, spraying a powerful stream of white firefighting foam onto the ground. In the blurred background, a red fire truck is visible. In the bottom left corner, there is a dark blue text overlay that reads "FOREVER CHEMICALS" in a large font, with "Restricting PFAS in firefighting foams" below it in a smaller font. In the bottom right corner is the logo of the European Commission.

Europe inches closer to a toxic-free environment.

We are restricting the use of PFAS chemicals in firefighting foams.

These ‘forever chemicals' do not break down naturally, posing unacceptable risk to human health and the environment.

Cleaner choices, stronger protection ↓

A split image of a tree shows two contrasting sides: on the left, a barren, leafless tree against a dry, cracked landscape with a dramatic orange sky; on the right, a green, leafy tree against a lush field and clear blue sky. White text at the bottom reads: “Investing in climate solutions = Investing in peace.” The UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme) logo appears in the top right corner.

Investing in #ClimateAction is good for the planet—it creates stability, security, and peace.

Our Nationally Determined Contribution will range between 66.25% and 72.5%.

And we are working full speed on -90% by 2040.
