🟢 We’ve described Green to Grey as a ‘first of its kind’ data investigation. That’s a big claim – so, let us explain what we mean.

The data methodology process for measuring nature loss across Europe is fascinating — but complex, and most of us are not data specialists! 🧵👇 [1/3]

🚨 NEW: By the end of this video, Europe will have lost 2850m² of land to construction. That’s almost half a Premier League football pitch.

This rate of loss, amounting to 600 football pitches a day, is 1.5 times higher than official EEA estimates.

This is the #GreenToGrey project. [1/3]
