4/4 ⏳ Delaying action means rising environmental, health & economic costs.
We stand with the 600+ scientists calling for bold, science-based EU action to protect Europe’s waters - now, not later 🌊🌱
🔗 Full statement + signatories in comments.
#ProtectOurWaters #Sustainability #ActNow

3/4 📉 The data is alarming:
☠️ 85% decline in freshwater species since 1970
☠️ Less than 50% of EU waters in good health
☠️ Hundreds of harmful chemicals go undetected
Freshwaters are 🌍 biodiversity hotspots - and they’re under threat.
#Biodiversity #EUpolicy #NatureCrisis

2/4
These scientists are urging the EU to:
🧪 Update pollutant lists based on modern science
⚠️ Address chemical mixtures, not just individual substances
🛑 Enforce the Water Framework Directive
🔍 Use advanced monitoring tools

#ScienceForPolicy #FreshwaterCrisis

1/4 🔬💧 Over 600 scientists from across Europe have signed a joint statement calling on the EU to urgently update its water pollution rules.
📢 Freshwater ecosystems are collapsing - and outdated policies aren't keeping up.

We're looking forward to meeting many of you there, partcicularly early-careers 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬

Read our statement 🔗www.freshwatersciences.eu/effs/index.asp

Over 450 scientists urge @EU_Commission, @EUCouncil, and @Europarl_EN to address increasing chemical pollution in Europe’s freshwater ecosystems in upcoming trilogue negotiations.

Europe’s waters are NOT in good health.

@EU_Commission, @EUCouncil, and @Europarl_EN must follow scientists’ advice and reject proposals that undermine the Water Framework Directive.
