Announcements

Dear experts on Biodiversity x Climate change,

The European elections are approaching swiftly (voting date in the Netherlands is June 6th), yet the critical issue of nature's significance for a thriving planet seems to be sidelined. WUR colleagues have launched the #EuropeForNature initiative. The goal is to elevate the priority of nature on the societal agenda leading up to the June elections, in the hope that people will prioritize nature in their decision-making, including when voting. The concept is simple: scientists and other experts share their narratives, concerns and solutions about Europe's natural world in a short story. These stories illustrate why it's imperative to prioritize nature and underscore the significance of European legislation in this endeavor. We collect these stories on a website (www.EuropeForNature.eu) and share these on Social Media. As power is in the numbers of these stories, we ask you to join this initiative as Nature is critical for combating climate change!
