Greenhouse gas emissions continue to decline in the EU!

@EUCommission
If you want to keep moving in the right direction, please do not turn the ongoing #simplification into #deregulation. This would be dismantling #environmental safeguards established over decades through democratic processes and grounded in clear scientific evidence, which underpin the #EU’s legal obligation to ensure a high level of #nature protection.

As you mention yourself, #climate action and economic #growth can go hand-in-hand.

@European Commission #GoNuclear and greenhouse emissions will drop much more.

Tell that to Reiche, I think she misunderstood that part about gas emissions. I feel like she thought that when you burn the greenhouse gas that it's gone /s

@EUCommission

Sounds good :)

@EUCommission Derweil die USA sich von sämtlichen Abkommen abwenden, die dem Klimaschutz förderlich sind. Wie bringen wir die Grossmächte dazu, endlich ihre Verantwortung wahrzunehmen und sich darüber klar zu werden, dass die Erde nicht ihnen allein gehört?

@EUCommission it should be faster, we're running out of time!

@EUCommission In my country, there is currently a drastic campaign of intimidation against wind farms and simplified building procedures. People reject these projects because they have been told that the power plants will make them sick, that their chickens will stop laying eggs, and that it will kill wild animals. I'm not joking (until now, these people didn't care about wild animals at all).
The influence of misinformation and conspiracy theories is constantly being ignored. It is massive.

@EUCommission and yet we stand “shoulder to shoulder” with and handsomely reward some of the biggest polluters and killers on the the face of the planet.

If there are no consequences for genocide, nor our collusion, maybe the environmental aspect would take your interest?

I often hear that claim dismissively thrown out - but it's true to a lesser extent than people think. The EU doesn't just import; it exports a lot, too.

Here's the relevant figure from the highly reputed Global Carbon Project's latest report (2025).

The real issue with the EU's "success" is that emissions aren't declining fast enough, the fossil industry continues to enjoy considerable support, and the first 20% are the easiest - plans for what's next are shaky.
