Only 35% of people in the EU repair their products. Are you one of them?

Thanks to the #Right2Repair rules, repair is becoming easier. We helped make #EUCivilSociety voices heard from the very start of the law-making process.

This holiday season let’s repair & reuse.

10 years ago, the #ParisAgreement was adopted.

Since then, actions have not been enough to keep global warming within 1.5°C.

At #COP30, we kept #EUCivilSociety at the heart of the debate, but the lack of a roadmap to phase out fossil fuels is deeply concerning.

United in diversity, under one flag. 🇪🇺

70 years ago, the @coe.int introduced the European flag: twelve golden stars on a blue field.

Once adopted by the @consilium.europa.eu, it became more than just a flag: it became a symbol of unity, purpose, and of the future we keep building together.

There is no more time to waste. 🌍

@cop30nobrasil.bsky.social Brasil ended, & while strengthening the Paris Agreement, it showed that a clear path to phase out fossil fuels is still needed.

Our delegation ensured #EUCivilSociety's voice was heard to deliver the climate action our planet deserves.
