Domestic violence against women remains a major problem across the EU. Glad to see how EU ministers adopted conclusions during the #EPSCO today to boost prevention, early detection & intervention. 🔗 More info: bit.ly/48FwpGh

Great to meet MEPs across the political spectrum in Strasbourg today. From the EU budget and climate policy to the EU law-simplification agenda, the European Parliament has an important role in the months ahead.

Great to be back in Brussels as Deputy Permanent Representative at @NLatEU. The first weeks have been packed. Council meetings, the European Semicon coalition, the RENURE vote... Plenty more on the agenda. Please do say hello when you are in Brussels. Always happy to catch up!

De Sint was dit jaar glashelder in zijn feedback: “Hij hoorde haar al zeuren. Om een dochter met een broek zonder scheuren. Eentje die elke 50-plusser goed zou keuren. Maar de Sint wist wel beter: dat gaat nooit gebeuren!”

The only constant in life is change. From August my successor @RenevanHell will lead our work in support of climate-neutral, sustainable societies. I very much look forward to continuing as MFA Deputy Secretary-General. #Climate, #water, #energy, #food & #Arctic remain in my DNA!

Well done! And the same goes for our backyard: #climate #adaptation #biodiversity

It is great to see the @WorldBank take such important steps against #climatechange. We need ambitious, integrated plans and actions worldwide to end climate change and to help countries adapt to its effects.

Congratulations, @theGEF at 30! Vibrant as ever, lots of work ahead to preserve our #biodiversity, #environment and #climate - let's go for it together! #GEF30years

Dutch Food Systems Dialogue: cooperation across borders & sectors can make our food systems sustainable and deliver healthy food to all. With farmers, governments, science, finance, companies and NGOs we can make the UN #FoodSystemsSummit a great opportunity for lasting change!

Looking forward to the #P4GSummit, hosted by the Republic of #Korea! The #Netherlands actively supports @P4Gpartnerships. We need the power of public-private partnerships to help catalyze green, sustainable and inclusive growth in developing countries. p4gpartnerships.org
