Nature restoration and #windenergy go hand in hand. 🤝 🌏
With its Nature Restoration Law the EU is planning new legislation to restore Europe’s natural #ecosystems. What's the role of wind energy in this process?
The European Commission has proposed binding #restoration targets for specific habitats and species. The EU now aims to restore 30% of the EU’s degraded areas, and ultimately all ecosystems in need of restoration by 2050.
Wind farms can also have positive effects on local biodiversity. Examples from @WWF@WWFEU@Orsted@Vattenfall@Equinor and others show how we are actively helping to improve bird habitats, regenerate seabeds, recover fish stocks and develop aquacultures. windeurope.org/newsroom/press…

Global Wind Day Exhibition just launched today! 🌬️
Ixelles’s representative for culture M. Kelountang Ndiaye said: we are happy to welcome these furnitures and to show our commitment to the sustainable transition in Ixelles ” 🏙️
“On a daily basis we can testify about the challenges that we are facing to meet the sustainability goals. This exhibition is explaining very well what we can do with old wind turbines. And people need to know about it.”
Polish MEP @Hetman_K said: “Everyday we see how difficult it is to meet climate neutrality and we need to engage more with circular economy. As a 🇵🇱 I am proud of our innovative Polish entrepreneurs.”
After a decade of stagnation, we sense a wind of change in #CentralEurope. Governments must now use the National Energy Climate Plans (#NECPs) submission to translate these recent improvements into higher targets for #windenergy.
Our CEO says: "Wind is 17% of all the electricity consumed in Europe today and will be 43% by 2030. The whole of Europe is going to have to contribute. #NECP update offers a great opportunity to nail new targets and spell out the policies on #permitting and #grids."
