Clean energy, made in Europe. In 2022, we’ve generated more electricity from wind and solar than gas. In 2023, wind power alone outpaced gas. Thanks to #REPowerEU, our plan to phase out Russian fossil fuels, we are accelerating renewable energy deployment across the EU. And we continue on this path. Our goal is for renewable energy to account for at least 42.5% of our energy consumption by 2030. Share of energy consumption coming from renewables in 2022 (%): 🇸🇪 66 🇫🇮 47.9 🇱🇻 43.3 🇩🇰 41.6 🇪🇪 38.5 🇵🇹 34.7 🇦🇹 33.7 🇱🇹 29.6 🇭🇷 27.9 🇸🇮 25 🇷🇴 24.1 🇬🇷 22.7 🇪🇸 22.1 🇩🇪 20.8 🇫🇷 20.2 🇨🇾 19.4 🇧🇬 19.1 🇮🇹 19.1 🇨🇿 18.2 🇸🇰 17.5 🇵🇱 16.9 🇭🇺 15.2 🇳🇱 15 🇱🇺 14.3 🇧🇪 13.7 🇲🇹 13.4 🇮🇪 13.1 Learn more about REPowerEU 🔗 https://europa.eu/!wbD6NW

Great news for wildlife conservation! The Iberian Lynx 🐾 has made a remarkable recovery, moving from "Endangered" to "Vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List. Thanks to 20 years of dedication by the EU’s LIFE Programme for the environment, this threatened endemic feline is stepping back from the brink of extinction. From only 94 individuals in 2002, the population has grown to over 1,000 due to concerted efforts in habitat restoration, prey availability improvement, and breeding programs. ℹ️ Find more information about the LIFE LYNXCONNECT project → europa.eu/!4CQHQR 📷© Adobe Stock #LIFEProgramme #EuropeanUnion
