The facts on climate and energy -Myth Busters - here

The choices we make every day determine the changes in the climate we will experience in the future.

ACT RESPONSIBLE!

Transforming climate issues into action - How?

Learning corner

We all can do something:

Save energy at home:

use less energy,
improving the home’s energy efficiency: better insulation, replacing your oil or gas furnace

2. Change the source of energy at home to a greener one, if possible
3. Consider a green way of transportation:

Walk, bike or take public transport
Switch to an electric vehicle
Fewer flights, take a train
more online meetings

4. Reduce, reuse, repair and recycle:

Electronics, clothes, plastics and other items we buy cause carbon emissions at each point in production, from the extraction of raw materials to manufacturing and transporting goods to market. Buy fewer things, whenever possible, and repair what you can.

5. Eat more natural - vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, and less meat and dairy. Producing plant-based foods generally results in fewer greenhouse gas emissions and requires less energy, land, and water.

Throw away less food

6. Protect Biodiversity: Plant native species. Most insects will not eat non-native plants, which means birds and other species lose a food source.
7. Clean up your environment
8. Speak up! :)

Actions:
United Nations: ACT NOW !

EU Action:
2050 - A Healthy Planet for All. Zero pollution

EU Action Plan: "Towards a Zero Pollution for Air, Water and Soil"
EU Targets by 2030:

improving air quality to reduce the number of premature deaths caused by air pollution by 55%;
improving water quality by reducing waste, plastic litter at sea (by 50%) and microplastics released into the environment (by 30%);
improving soil quality by reducing nutrient losses and chemical pesticides’ use by 50%;
reducing by 25% the EU ecosystems where air pollution threatens biodiversity;
reducing the share of people chronically disturbed by transport noise by 30%, and significantly reducing waste generation and by 50% residual municipal waste.
