“No climate & biodiversity policies are a threat to our economy, quite the opposite,” says Virginijus Sinkevičius in defence of the Nature Restoration Law

🤯 He also shares mind-blowing numbers of last year's floods in Slovenia

❗️ The costs of dealing with the aftermath of tragic floods…

Bottom trawlers devastate 'protected' Irish waters. Nets as big as football fields scrape away reefs and kill marine life indiscriminately. Tell Charlie McConalogue to take action now and truly protect our coastal ecosystems. #BanBottomTrawling

We will speak to the scientists behind the report, who have identified the areas of Ireland’s ocean most resilient to impacts of climate change.

Bottom towed fishing overlaps with over 4,000km2 of ‘protected’ Irish Special Areas of Conservation.
Smaller vessels are not included in the analysis & so this number vastly underrepresents the true extent of bottom trawling

It is understood by Fair Seas that no resources have yet been allocated to manage or monitor Páirc Náisiúnta na Mara, Ciarraí.

Government must publish the Marine Protected Areas bill so protected sites are properly resourced & nature recovers.

It's encouraging to see the Government designating a new National Park. Designating an area but failing to provide resources to manage it, won’t help biodiversity.
We hope this designation will encourage resourcing and greater engagement across government sectors & stakeholders.

Today's #EarthDay reminds us that our battle for the Nature Restoration Law continues

It is no longer enough to simply protect EU ecosystems we must do more to #RestoreNature

EU Council Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU 2024 seal the deal

The UN's Global Biodiversity Framework is now in peril due to the EU’s failure to pass the #RestoreNature Law.

The law was heavily debated and a final text was agreed upon by the 3 EU institutions

We had an agreement, EU Council. Respect it. Seal the deal

#EarthDay

🌿 When nature thrives, so do we.

We rely on the natural world for water, food, air. Nature is our best ally, offering #ClimateResilience and a healthy future.

Let's turn #HopeIntoAction : the law to #RestoreNature is the solution Europe needs!

Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU 2024, let's make this right.

We not only need to protect nature, we also need to #RestoreNature !

Many ecosystems – the basis of our natural wealth and #wellbeing – are broken. The #NatureRestorationLaw offers a historical opportunity to recover them🌎

Bottom trawling occurs in over 90% of offshore EU protected areas. It’s time to demand that the EU ban bottom trawling in their not-actually-protected areas.

Greece announced they will ban this destructive practice. Charlie McConalogue what will Ireland do?
