NEW REPORT: A single fishing corporation could be jeopardising the food Antarctic wildlife depends on. A new WePlanet analysis estimates that Aker QRILL’s 2025 krill catch alone could have fed ~20 million Adélie penguin chicks. Krill are the foundation of the Antarctic food web. Penguins, whales, seals and seabirds all rely on them - and climate change is already putting on their populations. Yet the @MSCecolabel looks set to recertify this fishery as “sustainable.” When the stakes are this high, certification must reflect ecological reality.

This week the European Parliament will hold its final vote on legislation governing the use of New Genomic Techniques (NGTs). NGTs can give farmers access to crop varieties that are more resistant to disease, more resilient to climate impacts, and require fewer fertilisers and crop protection products. Europe has the opportunity to back science, innovation, and more sustainable agriculture. Send a message to Members of the European Parliament and urge them to support NGTs.

🟢 La organización ecologista internacional @weplanetint ha publicado un informe en el que destaca las significativas implicaciones de un posible cierre de la Central Nuclear de Almaraz. El estudio, compartido por la plataforma «@SiAlmaraz», advierte que la clausura de esta instalación no solo provocaría un incremento en las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, sino que también acentuaría la dependencia de España del gas natural. 👉🏻 t.ly/-psrv #EnergíaNuclear #CentralesNucleares #NuclearSí #CNAlmaraz #SalvemosAlmaraz #VocesxAlmaraz

We'll be watching to see if MEPs will back New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) and unlock more sustainable agriculture across the EU. New genomic techniques have the potential to dramatically reduce pesticide and fertiliser use in agriculture whilst increasing food security Europe is facing an increasingly difficult agricultural challenge: producing enough food while reducing environmental pressures, adapting to climate change, and strengthening the resilience of its food system in a world that becomes more hostile by the day. Innovations like NGTs are a critical part of the solution. In February 2024, together with scientists across Europe, we urged MEPs to vote yes to supporting NGTs. Now we need your help to finish the job. Act now: act.weplanet.org/p/eu-suppor…

In this episode of Saving the World from Bad Ideas, Mark Lynas speaks with global ecologist Tom Crowther about a seductive but dangerous assumption: just leave it to the market. While part of the conversation focuses directly on capitalism, inequality, poverty, and wealth redistribution, the discussion is much broader than economics alone. Drawing on Tom’s new book Nature’s Echo, they explore how feedback loops shape everything from the birth of stars to the spread of ideas, the dynamics of ecosystems, the structure of societies, and the possibility of ecological recovery. The central argument is that markets can generate growth, innovation, and momentum, but without balancing forces they also drive instability, degradation, and collapse. It is a wide-ranging conversation about regeneration, resilience, scientific thinking, and how human systems might better mirror the stabilising logic of the natural world.

Right now anti-gene editing groups are lobbying MEPs to block crucial innovation that will make European agriculture more sustainable. Next week the European Parliament will make a final vote on legislation governing the use of New Genomic Techniques (NGTs). Send a message that they should back innovation and modern sustainable agriculture. Sign our petition: act.weplanet.org/p/eu-suppor…

🔓🧬🌱Unlocking the potential of #plantbreeding with New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) is key for sustainable agriculture. We need a proportionate regulatory framework to ensure innovation thrives, supporting climate resilience, higher yields, and EU competitiveness.

After years of debate, Europe is finally close to approving New Genomic Techniques (NGTs). A vote in the European Parliament is expected next week. Yet the biggest threat to their adoption may no longer be an outright ban, but a growing web of bureaucracy. As policymakers enter the final vote, they must ensure that Europe does not approve these technologies on paper while regulating them out of existence in practice.

📢 WePlanet pide mantener Almaraz y paralizar el calendario de cierre nuclear en España. 🫸🏻 🌎 La organización ecologista internacional @weplanetint ha reclamado la continuidad de la central nuclear de Almaraz y la revisión del calendario de cierre nuclear español. Coincidiendo con el Día Mundial del Medio Ambiente, defiende que la energía nuclear es una aliada de las renovables y una herramienta clave para garantizar seguridad de suministro, reducir emisiones y contener los costes energéticos durante la transición energética. 🌿 📄 Su informe sostiene que la nuclear complementa a la eólica y la solar al aportar generación estable y libre de carbono, además de servicios esenciales para la red eléctrica. WePlanet considera que los principales retos de la transición energética están en el almacenamiento, las redes y la gestión de la demanda, y advierte de que cerrar centrales operativas podría aumentar la dependencia del gas y ralentizar la descarbonización. _______________ ✍🏻 SNE ☝🏻 El posicionamiento de WePlanet refleja una realidad cada vez más visible a nivel internacional: ser ecologista no implica necesariamente ser antinuclear. De hecho, numerosas organizaciones ambientales, científicos y expertos climáticos defienden hoy la energía nuclear como una herramienta imprescindible para reducir emisiones, garantizar un suministro eléctrico fiable y acelerar la sustitución de los combustibles fósiles. La dicotomía entre renovables y nuclear pierde fuerza frente a un enfoque cada vez más pragmático, basado en la evidencia científica y en la necesidad de disponer de todas las tecnologías bajas en carbono para afrontar con éxito la transición energética. 🌿⚡ Más info 👉🏻 t.ly/MTWwT #EnergíaNuclear #CentralesNucleares #NuclearSí

Greenpeace argue that plans to build nuclear energy in Kenya near Lake Victoria pose a threat to the lake. Peter Gichuki from WePlanet Africa has been invited on to discuss his recent community engagement work in the region of the proposed plant. He will argue that nuclear energy isn't something that needs to be feared, and that better community engagement can ensure a positive outcome for people and the environment. 📅: 10 June 2026 | 💻 Zoom 👉🏾 Register here: act.gp/4uLVGGF
