About 90% of the heat from human-generated global warming is stored in the ocean. Warmer oceans cause sea levels to rise, marine species to die, severe flooding, less food on our tables and so much more. Oceans are our planet's lifeblood. That's why Parliament protects them by:   🌍 passing a law for the EU to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions with net 90% by 2040 and reach climate neutrality by 2050. 🥤 approving a ban on a single-use plastics that pollute EU beaches (straws, cutlery, etc.) 🐠 calling for widespread action against invasive species in EU waters 🎣 demanding urgent measures to stop the decline of fish stocks in the Baltic Sea   ...and more.
