A healthy food system for people and planet
Geothermal energy is an essential renewable resource globally and especially in the EU. It provides a sustainable and reliable source of power with minimal greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to reducing the carbon footprint and enhancing energy security.
In an era where environmental challenges loom large, green technology is emerging as a beacon of hope. From energy production to waste management, green technology innovations are transforming how we interact with our planet.
Morning coffee—it’s more than just a ritual for millions of people; it’s a daily indulgence that sets the tone for the day. But have you ever considered the environmental impact of that comforting cup of joe?
Extreme weather events, driven by climate change, are becoming more frequent and severe, posing a significant threat to global food security. From devastating floods to prolonged droughts, these events disrupt food production, supply chains, and ultimately, access to food.
Microplastics, tiny plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in size, have become an insidious environmental threat. Found in oceans, rivers, and even in the air we breathe, these particles are pervasive, posing significant risks to wildlife and human health.
Not only are plant-based lifestyles good for our health, but they can significantly improve the health of the environment as well. Plant-based diets can contain all nutrients needed for health, can decrease the risk of a number of chronic diseases, and require fewer natural resources for production.
Bees and other pollinators play a vital role in ecosystems around the world, supporting biodiversity, food security, and agricultural productivity. Despite their small size, these buzzing creatures have a big impact on our lives and the health of the planet.
Making European food healthier and more sustainable is a key objective of the EU’s farm-to-fork policy.
The planetary situation looks bleak, but together, it is still possible to create positive change. With 60% of the world’s population, 4.3 billion people, and more than 50% of global consumption, the Asia-Pacific region must take the lead in transforming the planet.
In March 2023, the Parliament adopted new rules on land use, land use change, and forestry (LULUCF), which will increase carbon sequestration by 15% by 2030. The rules for the final agreement must be formally approved by the Council.
