Just a few days after #COP26 , these initiatives show that the EU is serious about the green transition. We have a tremendous amount of work to do: the actions we take to follow through on our ambitions are what really counts. #EUForests #EUWaste #EUSoil

Aquí estamos en esta segunda jornada de trabajo. Defendiendo los derechos de nuestra ganadería extensiva tan necesaria para nuestros bosques y tan invisible y maltratada por el CAP y las políticas que están miopes a su realidad #euforests #ruralareas

Millions of dollars in green financing intended to help Indonesia reduce its carbon emissions have been invested in a project that is destroying #rainforest in Papua, one of the world’s most biodiverse landscapes.

Today, EU Ministers of Agriculture meet in #AGRIFISH to discuss the #EUForestStrategy .

Ahead of this meeting, 10 countries sent a letter saying that increasing carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation & restoration is inappropriate.

The data shows otherwise. #Thread

The latest from Fern: #EUForests are in danger - from an unsustainable bioenergy industry, to logging of old-growth natural forest in 'protected' areas, the EU needs to be doing much more to protect its forests and biodiversity. #Stand4Forests fern.org/EUforestsindan…

For the sustainable development & resilience of #EUforests , including #biodiversity conservation, the role of the EU forest and forest-based sectors must be at the heart of the #EUBiodiversityStrategy .

In the carbon market you have...

Removers: Companies that remove carbon from the environment

Emitters: Companies that add carbon/pollution to the environment

Governments issue Carbon Credits to removers. They can sell them on at market or to emitters to offset their emissions

Hearing from William Moomaw of The Fletcher School & Tufts University that preventing #deforestation & forest degradation, draining of wetlands and soil degradation are essential. As is ending subsidies for burning #bioenergy , on health & #carbon grounds. #EUForests #ClimateCrisis

Great #FFA2021 discussion this afternoon. Indeed, we need systemic change and a massive #Climate adaptation plan for #EUforests , taking active management seriously, if we want to preserve the EU forest's mitigation capacity. Only planting trees does not cover it. #EUGreenDeal

On Wednesday 24 March, the European Commission is debating on #InvestingInClimateAction with European Investment Bank to build a climate neutral economy.

Billions of tons of metals are needed for the clean energy transition. But how can we produce these metals without disfiguring our lands, cutting down rainforests and poisoning terrestrial habitats and human communities with vast quantities of toxic waste? There's a better way.

'They keep telling us we have more forests now than we had before, ...we have never had this many trees, but never had such a little amount of forest ecosystem.”

There are 2,634,105 million trees planted in the EU
as part of the 3 Billion Trees Pledge.

We still need 297,365,895 more to reach the #EUForests strategy's objectives for 2030.

Let's keep this in mind on #InternationalForestsDay 🌳

🌳 Happy #IntForestDay !

🌲 Forests are essential for life on #Earth , providing habitat, oxygen, and climate regulation 🌎🌍🌏

Thanks to #Copernicus 🇪🇺🛰️ #OpenData , we can better protect these essential resources of #OurPlanet
