Do you feel the droplets of change? We want to make the #EUBlueDeal a splashy reality! 💦
Why? Because now is the time to act!
Our proposed action plan with 15 guiding principles is a step in the right direction to make it happen.

Young people must be consulted before the adoption of new EU laws.
This is why we will be the first EU institution to implement the EU Youth Test in our opinions!
A youth test is a tool to evaluate the impact of new law proposals on young people.
Why do we all need to implement a youth test?
✅ To consider the impact of laws on young people;
✅ To make young people’s rights visible;
✅ To make sure laws are more relevant;
✅ To build better democracies.

Did you know that 5.8 million tonnes of textiles are thrown away every year, nearly 11 kilos per person?
We endorse the European Commission’s proposal to make producers responsible for the full lifecycle of textile products and to support the sustainable management of textile waste across the EU.
The fees collected will help boost reuse & repair sectors, so let's make sustainable fashion trends the new norm! 👗

Summer is here! Beat the heat and enjoy a refreshing dip in the lakes, rivers, and beaches across Europe. 🏊
Good news! 86% of all bathing waters in the EU meet the ‘excellent’ water quality standards.
We are working on water as a cross-cutting theme in 2023.

Health planet = Healthy people
The recent extreme temperatures and raging fires showed us that our planet needs us, but only together we can be the guardians of our eternal home – the Earth.
On #NatureConservationDay, we reiterate our call for:
✅ a more ambitious agreement to protect and restore biodiversity
✅ stronger #EUCivilSociety engagement
We welcome the recent positive vote on Nature Restoration Law by the European Parliament.

🇪🇺 EU civil society's support to 🇺🇦 Ukraine is unconditional.
The new Facility proposed by the European Commission will support Ukraine's recovery, reconstruction and EU accession.
We welcome the inclusion of civil society in the technical assistance and support measures pillar.
Support to Ukrainian civil society must continue for as long as it takes.
