🌍⚠️ #COP30 ends with small steps but no real breakthrough
👎A full year above 1.5°C wasn't enough to find an adequate agreement on phasing out #FossilFuels and financing adaptation
👍 the agreement on a #JustTransition mechasism is a silver lining

The #ENVI committee in @europarl.europa.eu voted on the 2040 climate target
Some positive tweaks were made on the quality of offsets in comparison to the Council position, but many issues remain.
Thursday, all #MEPs must back these improvements in plenary, so they make it in the final agreement

🌍A 90% emission reduction target by 2040 might look bold…until you realise it's propped up by international offsets and other loopholes🕳️
📉The real figure could fall below 85%

Europe's nature is absorbing less #CO2. Still nature is our best ally to fix the climate, we just need to let it.
To help us reach our #ClimateGoals EU countries must:
🔒Protect primary & old-growth forests
🌱Rewet peatlands
🌿Forest restoration
🚫Stop land conversion
We know what to do. Let’s do it 💪

🌳Nature knows how to store carbon. Up to 54% of man-made #CarbonDioxide has been absorbed by nature.
🦋At the same time it offers many other advantages for people’s health and #biodiversity.
