Thank you Jessika Roswall for the commitment to reconciling competitiveness with sustainability, and for supporting the 1st review of the implementation of the 🌍Biodiversity Framework next year at COP17. We need a clear picture of where we stand and where to strengthen action.


Biodiversity loss & climate change must be tackled in tandem. They share a pervasive driver: unsustainable material extraction fuelled by the prevalent linear economy model. By aligning policy and finance across silos, EU Environment can promote the🌍transition to circular economies.



By keeping plastics out of the environment, circularity can #BeatPlasticPollution. But many businesses face challenges in making their operations more circular. This #WorldEnvironmentDay-themed Q&A from UN Environment Programme focuses on the importance of training: 🟢unep.org/news-and-stori…


.Global Environment Facility (GEF) and UN Biodiversity work together on conserving #biodiversity around the globe. As its financial mechanism, the GEF funds projects that align with the CBD's goals, fostering international cooperation and capacity building. #GEFcouncil69




🟢Astrid Schomaker on #WorldEnvironmentDay 2025: "Cleaner seas & lands, healthier people & ecosystems, greater climate resilience and stronger economies are among the dividends of investing in a future free from plastic pollution." Full statement: 🔗cbd.int/article/world-…




I welcome the commitment of Gerben-Jan Gerbrandy Ruth Firmenich César Luena / ❤️🇪🇺 to supporting the implementation of the Global Biodiversity Framework and promoting the #CaliFund. European Parliament play a vital role in turning commitments into progress in halting and reversing biodiversity loss.




Global & regional organizations, intergovernmental bodies & experts attended today the #SOIGlobalDialogue intersessional workshop organized with 해양수산부 Office français de la biodiversité. Focus: cooperation to #SaveOurOcean, including through the🌏Biodiversity Framework #KMGBF & #BBNJAgreement


On #WorldOceansDay let us remember not to take the ocean for granted. The vast blue expanse wrapping around continents sustains life, regulates the 🌏climate, feeds billions, supports livelihoods and inspires cultures. 🔵Statement by Astrid Schomaker: 🔗cbd.int/article/world-…
