WWF EU

We just handed over the voices of 1.25 MILLION EUROPEANS saying #HANDSOFFNATURE to the EU Environment Commissioner @jessikaroswall.ec.europa.eu 🙌🌱 We don't want to “simplify” protections for the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat! www.handsoffnature.eu

After a summer of deadly heatwaves and wildfires, the EU must make nature-based solutions the first line of defence against climate disasters. As work begins on the European Framework for Climate Resilience, nature must be at the heart of adaptation policy. 🌿📄 eureau.org/wp-content/u...

We have lodged a formal complaint with the European Ombudswoman alongside @wwf.eu @eeb.org @surfridereurope.bsky.social about European Commission's (@ec.europa.eu) decision to weaken the Water Framework Directive - Europe’s critical water protection law. europe.wetlands.org/our-complain...

You think the @ecb.europa.eu cares about biodiversity loss? Turns out, it’s actually fueling it. Read our new report to understand how ⤵️

🏔️ The polluting industries might be loud with their ETS attacks but it is the masses that can move the mountains. 📢 We have that MASS supporting the ETS - across Europe! ➡️ 72% of Europeans say that companies emitting the most or failing to reduce their emissions should pay more than others.

🥵🫠 24°C difference in land surface temperature between Brussels city centre and Forest de Soignes yesterday! 🔥Concrete traps the heat, forests let it breathe 🌬️ Another stark reminder that trees and green spaces in cities aren’t just more beautiful, they cool, protect, and keep them livable🌳

🚨 EU leaders meet this week to discuss the EU’s next long-term budget. 🌱 We call for a budget that serves European citizens, not fossil fuel regimes. Directors of @caneurope.org @birdlifeeurope.bsky.social @transportenvironment.org @eeb.org @wwf.eu write at @sustainableviews.bsky.social ⬇️

#EarthHour celebrates its 20th anniversary this year 🌍 Switch off your lights and spend 60 minutes doing something positive for the planet, whether it's walking in nature, cooking a sustainable meal, or speaking up for strong nature laws. 📅 Join us at 8:30pm on Saturday, 28th March.

📣 We are excited to announce that @wwf.eu Director, Ester Asin, will join the #Think2030 stellar high-level panel on 21 April. Find out more about our conference organised under the auspices of @cy2026eu.bsky.social 👇 think2030.eu/think2030-co...

🙅 Tell decision makers to keep their #HandsOffNature! Delaying the EU Deforestation Regulation = 50M trees lost yearly + 17M tonnes of CO₂ released + risks for our health and nature. When leaders won’t do the math, public pressure becomes essential. ✍️ Add your voice: www.wwf.eu/campaigns/ha...

In our letter to Commissioner Costas Kadis, we explain why staying the course is essential to ensure transparency, fair enforcement and EU credibility, at home and globally 📄👇 @wwf.eu @birdlifeeurope.bsky.social @oceanaeurope.bsky.social @clientearth.bsky.social @seasatrisk.bsky.social

Our source of life, water, should never be gambled with, nor used as a political bargaining chip 😠 Together with other NGOs and water suppliers, we are urging @ec.europa.eu not to weaken core water rules 👉🏼 www.wwf.eu/wwf_news/pub... #HandsOffNature #WaterPollution #Right2Water

The EU's fight against illegal fishing must move from paper to practice. We agree with Commissioner Kadis that the revised fisheries control system is a major achievement. Staying the course is essential to fight hidden overfishing & make fisheries transparent and fair. vimeo.com/1160223369/e...

Time to remind our leaders what people want them to protect: clean air, safe water & our health 💧 If you: ❌ are against cutting nature laws 🌳 want Europe's nature to thrive 🧑‍🧒‍🧒 care about our future & next generations Use your voice & sign our petition: www.wwf.eu/campaigns/ha... #HandsOffNature

More and more EU regions suffer from soaring losses as extreme weather worsens🌧️🔥 ☀️Summer 2025: €43B in damage 📉1980-2023: just 5-20%of climate losses were insured BUT prevention works🌿 WWF’s new report shows how nature-based solutions + smart policy can keep Europe insurable. tinyurl.com/42jhn63c

Concerned by the state of our ocean? WWF has laid out 10 key principles for effective marine and coastal restoration in the EU. Take a deep breath and deep dive in here! 🔗https://euoceanrestoration.wwf.eu/

It’s time for sustainable investments to be actually sustainable! The Commission’s proposal for the revision of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation is a start, but it doesn’t take us all the way there.🛑 Without science as the foundation, the path is a dead end. 👀 Tinyurl.com/ydax9uck

It's happening! The Nature Restoration Law implementation is underway across Europe🤩 As EU countries draft their National Restoration Plans, we evaluated their progress: several frontrunners are paving the way & the rest must catch up quickly! 👉 www.restorenature.eu/en/our-work-... #RestoreNature

Our ocean is in trouble. But marine life can bounce back. In 2026, the EU will unveil its #OceanAct. It could be a game-changer, delivering legally binding protection for #OurOcean. 💙Hit like if you want binding action to protect and restore our ocean.

🎅 Santa’s not the only one working hard this season! 🌲Forests and wetlands are busy storing #CO2 and sheltering wildlife, but they need our help too, over the last decade EU's nature removed 30% less CO2 from the air. We need to protect nature so it can help us 💪

It's been a rough year for Europe's fish stocks. The cause? Massive overfishing. Nature can bounce back. In the EU, we have legislative tools to make that happen, like the EU Common Fisheries Policy. But we need more urgency in the implementation. Please share this post 🔁

🦌 Santa’s reindeer trails are getting muddier as their homes are being destroyed🌲❄️ 🪓Increased logging and peatland emissions are the reason why Finland’s nature is now the first in the EU to release instead of store #CO₂ 🚨A clear warning for Europe: protect nature before more magic is lost🪄

All we want for Christmas is stable prices & accelerated energy transition!🎅💶🌱 By providing cheaper loans to banks for funding green projects, the @ecb.europa.eu can make our wish come true! 👀Read all about it in our new study: tinyurl.com/4ezx9tva

Let’s celebrate 25 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 EU water laws💧🎉 For a quarter of a century, the Water Framework Directive has been protecting our waters. The @ec.europa.eu cannot reopen this law to satisfy the interests of polluting industry – there's too much at stake! #HandsOffNature

New report: EU countries' progress on implementing the Nature Restoration Law 🦋🌳🪸 Our mid-term evaluation of National Restoration Plans reveals frontrunners & what needs to happen so we can #RestoreNature all around Europe! Read more: www.wwf.eu?20421666/Nat...

Europe’s housing crisis can’t be fully tackled with the new Affordable Housing Plan.🏘️ 🔨Building homes is good but without a serious push to renovate millions of inefficient homes, people stay exposed to high bills & energy shocks. Europe needs new supply + massive renovation + proper financing.

The votes are in, and the result is... 🥁🥁🥁 📢DEREGULATION! With the finalisation of the first omnibus package, the EU’s Corporate Sustainability laws are weakened, meaning fewer protections for the environment and people against corporate harm. 🔗 tinyurl.com/4fdn8p3u

As extreme weather hits Europe, costs are rising. Banks should help mitigate climate risks but @shareaction.bsky.social’s new analysis shows: ⚠️Progress has slowed. Some big banks are even backtracking 🌍Average bank scores: Climate 52%, Biodiversity 22%, Indigenous rights 7% 🔗 tinyurl.com/mvyummp3
