🌿 On #WorldHabitatsDay Europe’s habitats are in trouble.

📉 81% of habitats protected under EU law are in poor or bad condition — and most are still declining.

We need full implementation of environmental law, shows #EuropesEnvironment2025: www.eea.europa.eu/en/europe-en...

Great news for your health and the planet! 🌍 The EU 🇪🇺 has adopted a law to restrict all #PFAS in firefighting foams.

This restriction, developed by ECHA, is another important step towards reducing PFAS pollution across Europe.

Europe inches closer to a toxic-free environment.

We are restricting the use of PFAS chemicals in firefighting foams.

These ‘forever chemicals' do not break down naturally, posing unacceptable risk to human health and the environment.

Cleaner choices, stronger protection ↓

In the blurred background, a red fire truck is visible. In the bottom left corner, there is a dark blue text overlay that reads "FOREVER CHEMICALS" in a large font, with "Restricting PFAS in firefighting foams" below it in a smaller font. In the bottom right corner is the logo of the European Commission.

The world can count on Europe's climate leadership.

Our Nationally Determined Contribution will range between 66.25% and 72.5%.

And we are working full speed on -90% by 2040.

We are on our way to climate neutrality.
