🌊 The situation is serious: the world's oceans are facing an unprecedented threat. Rising sea levels, caused by factors such as thermal expansion, melting ice, climate change, increased CO2 and the disappearance of the Greenland and Antarctic ice caps, are threatening our planet

🌍💡 A cleaner energy future, preserving our oceans 🌱🌊By 2022, Europe has achieved a remarkable feat in its transition to a more environmentally friendly energy source, while preserving our precious oceans. 23,5% of Europe's electricity production came from solar or wind power.

The oceans, our precious guardians of life, are facing an invisible but harmful threat: acidification. Did you know that since the start of the industrial era, the oceans have absorbed around a quarter of the world's carbon dioxide emissions?

If the European Union is to truly tackle #PlasticPollution, reduce waste generation, and end #WasteColonialism, a BAN on exporting plastic waste outside the EU is needed. 📣Call for ambition from the EU and its member states ✍🏽Sign our petition actions.eko.org/a/ban-eu-plast… EU Council

🌊🐢 Versova Beach was once the world's most polluted in 2015. Thanks to Afroz Shah's leadership and a community of eco-warriors, it's now a pristine haven. Volunteers worked tirelessly to remove 5,000 tonnes of waste. Turtles returned, a testament to our environment's resilience

🚢 Maritime Pollution: The Hidden Environmental impact Picture this: if the shipping industry were a nation, it would stand as the world's 6th largest CO2 emitter. This alarming fact is underpinned by multiple causes. 🌍⚓
