🚨 @vonderleyen’s announcement of an omnibus law weakening the #CSRD, #CSDDD, and Taxonomy is deeply concerning.
It would
❌ lead to legal uncertainty
❌ disempower companies that have been working to ensure timely compliance
❌ undermine investors’ & banks' data needs to finance the green transition
Companies require clarity and support, not uncertainty! 💪 We need smart implementation now to ensure a strong foundation for a green future! #WeHadADeal

⚠️@EUombudsman just opened an investigation into @EU_Commission's lowering of wolf protections, following our complaint. The downgrading procedure lacked proper consultation & scientific backing, yet another case of potential maladministration.

🚨 Deregulation alert: @EPPGroup is taking an axe to EU Deforestation Law! 😱
This would leave the EU's only instrument to tackle global forest destruction hollowed out like a dead tree.
@Europarl_EN: Reject amendments & save #EUDR!

The European Water Resilience Strategy is our opportunity to finally protect and sustainably manage our water resources @JessikaRoswall, these are the key actions:
1️⃣ Protect & restore freshwater ecosystems
2️⃣ Reduce water abstraction from rivers & groundwater

The EU Nature Restoration Law is a game-changer, now let's implement it 🌳
@JessikaRoswall: “On nature restoration, we need to move from paper to reality. Implementation & enforcement would be the center of my agenda.”
All hands on deck to #RestoreNature! 🙌
How? 👉 wwf.eu/wwf_news/publications…
Listening to hearing of Commissioner designate for Environment @JessikaRoswall. She tries to tick all boxes but fails to give concrete answers. On funding nature failing to highlight the importance of a dedicated #RestoreNature fund of the EU budget.

🚨 BREAKING: @EU_Commission proposes delay of #EUDR
Our reaction 1/3😡"President Von der Leyen is effectively giving her green light for deforestation to continue for another 12 months - at a time when urgent action is needed to stop it. This delay unfairly penalises those companies that have already made significant investments to comply with the EUDR, while rewarding those who have lagged behind," said Anke Schulmeister-Oldenhove, Senior Forest Policy Officer, WWF European Policy Office. @ASchulmeisterO

🛑@Europarl_EN fails to stop harmful hydropower project endangering local communities and wildlife. The hazardous Turnu Măgurele–Nikopol hydropower project on the Lower Danube remained on the EU's priority investment list, despite the fact that it will:
🏠increase flood risk for over 100 towns and villages
🐟threaten protected areas and the survival of critically endangered species
❌is in contradiction to the EU's own policies.
⚠️WWF, @ceebankwatch, and multiple environmental organisations across the continent urgently call on the @EU_Commission to remove this project from its list of priority renewable energy projects.

🚨 BREAKING: EU countries agreed to adopt the Commission's proposal to lower the wolf's protection status.
Instead of looking for solutions, such as investing more in preventive measures to achieve coexistence, the EU chooses to allow wolf hunting...
A shameful day for the EU.
Andreas Baumüller retweeted
While EU action on #climate and #environment is still present, the portfolios presented by @vonderleyen today are a testament of ever stronger pressures of industry demands for #deregulation in the name of competitiveness.

I want to be like @lgewessler - the most brave Envi Minister ever! Despite facing opposition in her own country - #Austria , she decided to support #NatureRestorationLaw! 👏 We will see if it is enough, but nevertheless this act of courage moved me 💚

Das Ja von @lgewessler zum EU-Renaturierungsgesetz ist vorbildlich, weitblickend und eine wichtige Entscheidung für die Natur sowie die Krisensicherheit Österreichs. Die geplante Verordnung stärkt die Artenvielfalt, den Klimaschutz und die Ernährungssicherheit. #RestoreNature

Österreich wir morgen den #ReNaturierungsgesetz zustimmen. Es ist das wichtigste Gesetz auf Europa Ebene um die #Artenvielfalt und damit unser #Überleben zu erhalten. Danke für deine Klarheit @lgewessler ! @gruenewien
Ohne intakte #Natur gibt es kein gesundes und glückliches Leben. #Naturschutz sichert unsere Zukunft. Das sind wir den nachfolgenden Generationen schuldig. Genau deshalb haben wir intensiv nach einer Lösung beim #Renaturierungsgesetz gesucht und sie gefunden. (1/2)
