Nature-based solutions are promising tools to help reduce the impact of climate change and contribute to the EU’s environmental objectives. A stakeholders’ workshop organised by CEN and CENELEC on Monday 23 May explored their many challenges and opportunities and discussed how standardization can support their successful implementation.

Martin Schirdewan, Vorsitzender der Linksfraktion THE LEFT und finanzpolitischer Sprecher von DIE LINKE im Europäischen Parlament, erklärt zur heutigen Ankündigung der Europäischen Kommission, die EU-Haushaltsregeln um ein weiteres Jahr auszusetzen:

The Socialists and Democrats today backed a parliamentary resolution calling for stronger EU action to cope with the social and economic consequences of the war on Ukraine.

S&D MEPs successfully pushed for important measures to be included in this resolution, such as a chapter on a Social Resilience Package with concrete initiatives for Member States. These initiatives should provide targeted support to the most vulnerable parts of its population by summer 2022.

All reported atrocities committed by the Russian armed forced in Ukraine, which include cases of rape of children, must be punished, urged the S&Ds in anticipation of today’s adoption of the European Parliament’s resolution on the fight against impunity for war crimes in Ukraine.
