The climate crisis is not only a future threat. It's already taking its toll today.
That is why 15 July has been declared the EU Day for the Victims of the Global #ClimateCrisis 🇪🇺
A day to commemorate the victims, to raise awareness and to better prepare for future disasters. https://t.co/1niPDesSsZ

“The #NatureRestoration Law will just lead to more protected areas!”
“It will negatively impact Europe’s food security and threaten farmers’ livelihoods!”
We understand these concerns - but they are simply wrong. Allow us to clarify how it really works!

It’s been such a pleasure to experience beautiful Barbados 🇧🇧 together with @MiaAmorMottley.
I witnessed first-hand the vulnerability of a small island state like Barbados, while the prime minister and I discussed international #climatefinance. https://t.co/zBDfORTFoX

Re Prime Minister Mottley and I agree that we must marshal the necessary public and private means to support vulnerable countries prepare for climate change, address loss and damage, and make sure the world steps up its game on climate #mitigation to keep 1.5 degrees within reach. https://t.co/qnO4Xaeaoq

Re Mia is a true leader in the debate on climate finance and we will work together closely in the coming months, from the Global Financing Summit next week all the way to #COP28.

European citizens have already lost their lives or their loved ones to the #ClimateCrisis
While we fight to protect all Europeans we must also honour the victims.
So I warmly welcome @europarl_en@respublicae.eu's support to establish 15 July as the EU Day for Victims of the Climate Crisis.
