Vandaag verbiedt de EU PFAS in speelgoed. Dit is het startsein voor een PFAS-vrij Europa. Want deze forever chemicals horen nergens thuis - niet in speelgoed, niet in onze kleren, niet in ons lichaam. 💚 www.groen.be/eu_verbiedt_...

#COP30: We welcome the commitment to triple international funding for climate adaptation.
But it would be overly generous to call this a success: a global commitment to phase-out fossil fuels is still needed.

The current draft agreement being negotiated in #Belém, #Brazil, as part of the UN Climate Change Conference #COP30 shows a significant watering down of ambition.
At this point, no deal is better than a bad deal.

What can we expect from the #COP30 climate talks this year? Hopefully not another weak climate deal.
COP30 needs clarity, funding and courage. No excuses. No delays.
World leaders must deliver on #ClimateAction. NOW!

De rechtse hobby om maar te blijven investeren in de verbrandingsmotor is niet meer van deze tijd. Als we koploper willen zijn in de elektrische revolutie moet Europa nu flink gaan investeren in schone technologie.

Er is zoveel goeds te kiezen vandaag!
Twijfel ik nog?
Ja! Wordt het Marjolein Moorman, Jesse Klaver, Fatihya Abdi of Frans Timmermans?
Geen echte twijfel dus:
Dit jaar wordt het voor mij GroenLinks-PvdA.
Omdat het tijd is voor progressieve vooruitgang in plaats van guur rechtse stilstand!

Eindelijk verkiezingsdag! Denk ook aan Europa bij je stem. Nederland is een belangrijke stem in Brussel, die de afgelopen jaren verdwenen was. Met alle druk op de Green Deal, en de mondiale onrust, hebben we meer dan ooit een sterk sociaal en groen Nederland nodig in Europa. Stem!

The Green Deal was heavily discussed today. It is clear many fights are ahead of us, but let us first seal the 90% deal on 2040 in two weeks time. For our competitiveness, long-term.clarity is needed now.
The European Council just held an in-depth discussion on how to make sure that Europe’s climate ambitions and the competitiveness of our economy go hand in hand.
We reaffirmed our commitment to the Paris Agreement and stressed that we need to be pragmatic and flexible in our strategy.

The Omnibus I deal has just been voted down. It is clear: a stable majority requires support of the Greens, not the far right.
