Deze brief. Van een 19 jarige. Ze kan geen plezier hebben zonder voortdurend last te hebben. Van mannen. Het maakt me woedend. We zijn niets opgeschoten. Beste mannen, spreek elkaar aan! Laat dit stoppen! Vrouwen zijn niet van jullie. We zijn van onszelf!

Paris before and after street transformation
New urban forest planted in front of Paris City Hall
A Paris “School Street” where cars are removed and people space/tree planting are added
According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted & 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.
Just the start.
Common sense.
Prachtige podcast, over een componist, een slachtoffer magische soms onheilspellende muziek, en geschiedenis

Since then, the world has changed.
The clean transition is moving forward.
With the world united behind renewables and energy efficiency, COP28 made history.
So thank you, Sultan Al Jaber.
Now we must deliver on its legacy.
Europe is working with industry to roll out renewables in developing countries.
We’ll stay true to the spirit of COP28.
Tegen extreemrechts geweld moet je je laten horen. Dan zet je alle democratische middelen in om een vuist te maken. We vragen voor volgende week een debat aan om samen een streep trekken.
Mijn reactie op de gebeurtenissen van vandaag:
The entry into force of the Marine Biodiversity Treaty is a historic milestone.
It shows the power of multilateralism, as we head to New York for the UN General Assembly,
Now we call on more countries to join the movement & ensure the universal protection of our ocean.

Climate change is not a far-away problem of the future; it is here and now, risking our jobs, our health, and our security. The good news, we all can do something about it. No step is too small.

In a democracy there is a place for everyone. It is built on participation, diversity and equality.
As the EU we support genuine elections, protect independent media, stand with civil society and challenge disinformation, because in a democracy, everyone counts and all voices matter.

The EU must stop being complacent & self-flagellating. It is an economic & political force, and has the military will to defend our freedom & interests. "That’s what we must continue doing,” said Delphine Pronk at #EUISS2025.

It must build its geopolitical power to participate as an equal player.
That’s why we have embarked on the biggest military undertaking in recent history.
Extract of my speech at EUISS conference ↓
We had the pleasure of speaking with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
We warmly welcome India’s continued engagement with President Zelenskyy.
India has an important role to play in bringing Russia to end its war of aggression and helping create a path towards peace.
Great example in Dublin on how to give nature a chance. It will reward us in return

Ik maak naast Fokke & Sukke ook boeken rond Johan de Witt en Constantijn Huygens. Ik krijg best vaak de vraag waar deel III van mijn trilogie blijft. Ik zou er meer aan kunnen werken als er meer gekocht wordt via webshop.catullus.nl Als je de De Witt-boeken leuk vindt, retweet dit dan.

(Weer) een heel goede aflevering die (weer) de koppeling legt tussen klimaatverandering en geopolitiek. Als we deze koppeling niet zien, of redresseren vliegen we blind podcasts.apple.com/nl/podcast/b...

I just spoke with my colleagues in our Delegation in Kyiv, after our building was damaged by a Russian strike.
Your resolve to keep supporting Ukraine gives us strength. No diplomatic mission should ever be a target.
In response, we are summoning the Russian envoy in Brussels.
While the world seeks a path to peace, Russia responds with missiles.
The overnight attack on Kyiv shows a deliberate choice to escalate and mock the peace efforts.
Russia must stop the killing and negotiate.
Dordrecht. Prachtige Johan de Witt tentoonstelling gezien. De toren beklommen, geboorte’huis’ gepasseerd, daarna naar Den Haag langs de Nieuwe Kerk waar hij en z’n broer Cornelis rusten. 400 jaar later blijkt eens te meer dat hij een onuitwisbare plek in de Nederlandse geschiedenis heeft verworven

Together, we will participate in the Coalition of Willing VTC.
At the request of President Zelenskyy, I will join the meeting with President Trump and other European leaders in the White House tomorrow.

Both Europe and China are committed to multilateralism and the UN Charter.
So we raised the crucial issue of Russia’s war on Ukraine.
We asked China to use its influence to bring Russia to accept a ceasefire, enter peace talks and put an end to the bloodshed.
