#Wetlands are essential to achieve global biodiversity, climate, water & development goals. Building partnerships and mobilising finances to protect and safeguard these ecosystems should be considered both as a priority and a solution for global challenges. 📆By bringing together #EU officials, ambassadors, and representatives of Convention on Wetlands, EU Environment and Climate, United Nations Economic Commission for Europe on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes, we'll explore the power of #WetlandPartnerships in tackling global environmental challenges. 📌Register online ➡️https://lnkd.in/egQCyczm #EUGreenWeek Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) Barbara Pompili Dr Musonda Mumba Aleš Bizjak Veronica Manfredi Chris Baker Artur H.

📣There is a threat to sustainable development in the Niger Delta. The environmental crisis of air pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate change have become significant challenges for people and communities. During the #WorldPressFreedomDay on the 3rd of May, Kebetkache highlighted the environmental crisis ongoing in the Ibaa and Obelle communities in Emohua local government area, as well as the Aminigboko community in Abua/Odual local government area. The theme of the Day is “A Press for the Planet: Journalism in the Face of Environmental Crisis” and it is dedicated to the importance of journalism and freedom of expression in the context of the current global environmental crisis. #Environment #EnvironmentalJustice #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange ✊📣 https://lnkd.in/d67Wy5U2

📢 The next EU Budget must deliver – especially for #biodiversity!    Tackling the biodiversity crisis depends on the EU’s capacity to allocate financial resources to protect and restore nature. At the same time, we need to stop financing environmentally harmful projects.   The EU’s financial framework for the coming years is being discussed right now and nature is at risk of being forgotten – once again. We call on the EU to properly fund nature. We all depend on it. 👉Read our joint statement signed by 9 environmental NGOs: https://lnkd.in/eGK_t8yT

WATER IS LIFE... In the face of that, the United Nations Environment Assembly passed a resolution earlier this month that calls for countries to better manage aquatic ecosystems and strengthen their collaboration around water to support sustainable development. DO YOUR PART.

Finally! The right decision for more biodiversity and the right measures to adapt to extreme weather events such as floods and droughts.
