Terry Reintke Instagram – ‼️ Southern Germany and Northern Italy have been hit by devastating floods.
🌊 Our lead candidate @terry_reintke went to the flood-affected region and is calling for more EU cooperation on disaster relief. “Protecting our climate is fundamentally about protecting people. Our ability to respond swiftly and effectively to such disasters can save lives. The time to act is now.”
🌿 Lead candidate @baseickhout stresses the need for climate adaptation: “Bold European action is crucial to mitigate the impacts. A climate resilient Europe urgently requires the restoration of nature. Defending such policies against its right-wing opponents is crucial for our survival and prosperity.”
🔥 Europe is the fastest warming continent, with temperatures rising at around twice the global average rate. In 2021, more than 200 people died due to floods in Europe, and a total of 60,000 premature deaths were reported due to heatwaves in 2022.
💪 It’s time to act! In this week’s elections, the future of the Green Deal and climate action is on the ballot. Vote Green to protect people and the planet. #ChooseCourage on 6-7-8-9 June! | Posted on 03/Jun/2024 12:20:57
