"No nature, no future" - strong message from BirdLife Partner in Luxembourg - @naturemwelt.bsky.social to @christophehansen.bsky.social ahead of the publication of the proposal for the next EU budget and CAP post 2027. 👇

A new report released today reveals that the increasing reliance on biomass for heating and cooling in Europe is harming the climate more than helping it.

1,750 scientists say: fund nature.

In a new letter, they urge the EU to prioritise nature in the next budget.

📉81% of EU habitats in poor shape
💼500k jobs through restoration
💶LIFE = <1% of EU budget, but vital for nature

Failing nature means failing people.

⚠️ A global coalition of 41 NGOs is sounding the alarm: the EU’s CRCF draft rules for carbon removals will damage ecosystems and waste billions.

Don’t use forests as fuel.🔥🌳

#Bioenergy #ClimateJustice #CRCF

Protecting nature is not a cost. It’s the smartest investment we can make for farmers, food, and our shared future.

After many hours of sterile discussions, the European Board on Agriculture and Food has failed to find consensus on future of CAP.

🚨 No corruption.
No scandal.
Just an excuse to shut us up.

Today, the European Parliament’s Conference of Presidents agreed to set up a special working group to scrutinise NGO funding. At the @eppgroup.bsky.social's request.

A useful scientific paper that looks at how nature restoration /rewilding could be combined with agricultural production at multiple spatial levels. This offers a road map for addressing key parts of the climate and biodiversity crisis.

The EU’s next budget could help save nature - or speed up its collapse.

If we underfund ecosystems, we undercut our food, water, health, and homes. Nature isn’t extra. It’s essential.

Investing in nature = investing in us all.

LobbyControl reveals that a new German organisation that attacks NGOs and their funding was set up by PR consultants and #lobbyists from the biotech and chemical industries 🚨

Founders of "Initiative Transparente Demokratie" work for or have worked for #Bayer #CEFIC + biotech and #tobacco industry ⚠️

🌱 Nature is not the bottleneck.

In a joint letter to @ec.europa.eu's Dan Jorgensen, we stated a simple message‬: speed up #renewables, but don’t weaken environmental laws.

⚡It is possible to protect biodiversity while shifting to a renewable future!

👨‍🌾 Farmers are already grappling with the impacts of climate change. It’s time to ensure they are central to the EU’s climate solution with an ambitious and binding #2040Target for emission reduction as part of the wider transition to agroecology.
Read the letter: tinyurl.com/mvfh5yzw

Cutting emissions by at least 90% by 2040 is key to EU security and competitiveness, according to @esabcc.bsky.social scientists.

One sector holds untapped potential: #FoodSystems.
A transition to #agroecology, combined with healthier diets, is key for achieving the EU’s climate goals.

🌍 The EU must unlock the climate potential of our #FoodSystems — not backtrack on its climate commitments.
This is the message we have sent to @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu along with other 16 civil society organisations and farmers' representatives.

💧 The EU's Water Resilience Strategy just dropped… and it's more of a trickle than a torrent. No binding targets, no real funding. Nice words on nature, but no teeth...

We need action - Europe’s water crisis won’t wait!🌱🌊

See the joint press release in the comments👇

#WaterCrisis #ResilienceNow

🌊 Europe’s waters are in crisis - and intensive farming is a key culprit!

Manure & nutrient runoff fuel dead zones, yet Member States fail to act. The EU must uphold and implement vital water protections!💩☠️

All eyes on the EU's Water Resilience Strategy, to be published this week💧👀

Exactly 👇

Under the guise of simplification and cost-cutting, @ec.europa.eu is dismantling safeguards and oversight for CAP spending. Meanwhile in Athens..👇

Farmers across Europe are battling more heatwaves, floods, and droughts, all while nature, the backbone of farming, keeps disappearing.

Meet the stunning Eurasian Hoopoe!🪶

Famous for its unmistakable song call that sounds like its name, the Hoopoe is one of the most iconic species in Europe, breeding across most of continental Eurasia and Africa.

European Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Christophe Hansen just unveiled a another ‘simplification’ package for the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the EU’s €300 billion subsidy programme for agriculture between 2023 and 2027.

💫State aid is key for the transition to a clean, safe and circular economy.

But until today, the public could not challenge a state aid decision.

From now on, we'll be able to hold the Commission accountable for ensuring that public money is spent in line with environmental law.

🌿 New report alert! Dive into our latest analysis on wetlands & peatlands protection under #CAP, with a spotlight on GAEC2 - the key baseline standard to prevent their degradation. Joint work with #Wetlands International Europe, @eeb.org and @wwf.eu 👇

🌳 Orchard meadows are becoming increasingly fragmented each year, and with them, we lose one of Europe’s most species-rich habitats for birds, insects, and wildflowers.

This Friday, April 25th, join us in celebrating #EuropeanOrchardDay and explore these vital landscapes!

"Dismantling environmental rules will hinder, not help farmers: Invest in their resilience" is the main message to
