Climate experts warn record droughts will be 20 times more likely in the northern hemisphere due to the climate crisis. This means more forest fires, food & water insecurity. At #COP27 & #COP15 leaders must act according to the emergency we are facing! lemonde.fr/en/environment…

At the meeting of the Amsterdam Declaration group today, Belgian Environment Minister Zakia Khattabi Zakia Khattabi addresses the need for proper implementation of the the EUDR. An important point, as the law will only be a success, if EU MS make it work on the ground!

At #ADP meeting EU Environment reiterates the « absolute need » for traceability down to the plot of land under the #EUDR 👏 Indeed to know whether our breakfast and the chair we sit on to eat it might have caused the destruction of forests requires to know where it came from🕵️‍♀️.

„Bioeconomy is an opportunity. The demand for sustainable fossil free products is growing “ thinks Jessika Roswall There seems to be much more talk tonight about how to use forests than how to protect them. 🤔 We also need to have more protection for Old Growth forests. 🌳

🤔Think that businesses hate the EU Deforestation Regulation? Think again! Many companies support #EUDR. They have invested, want a level playing field, rid their supply chains of #deforestation. Now. 👊@Europarl_EU: Reject a reopening of the #EUDR at tomorrow's vote!! 🧵🧵🧵
