4/4 โณ Delaying action means rising environmental, health & economic costs.
We stand with the 600+ scientists calling for bold, science-based EU action to protect Europeโs waters - now, not later ๐๐ฑ
๐ Full statement + signatories in comments.

3/4 ๐ The data is alarming:
โ ๏ธ 85% decline in freshwater species since 1970
โ ๏ธ Less than 50% of EU waters in good health
โ ๏ธ Hundreds of harmful chemicals go undetected
Freshwaters are ๐ biodiversity hotspots - and theyโre under threat.

These scientists are urging the EU to:
๐งช Update pollutant lists based on modern science
โ ๏ธ Address chemical mixtures, not just individual substances
๐ Enforce the Water Framework Directive
๐ Use advanced monitoring tools
#ScienceForPolicy #FreshwaterCrisis
1/4 ๐ฌ๐ง Over 600 scientists from across Europe have signed a joint statement calling on the EU to urgently update its water pollution rules.
๐ข Freshwater ecosystems are collapsing - and outdated policies aren't keeping up.

Europeโs waters are NOT in good health.
@EU_Commission, @EUCouncil, and @Europarl_EN must follow scientistsโ advice and reject proposals that undermine the Water Framework Directive.
