    Today, we remember the more than 500,000 Roma murdered under the Nazi regime.   Their lives were extinguished, their culture suppressed, and their stories silenced.  80 years later, we remember the past and commit to do better in the future. We honour Roma’s legacy and continue to fight for equality and justice for all minority groups.   On Roma Holocaust Memorial Day, we remain steadfast in pursuing the realisation of Roma inclusion and participation. 

    • The image features the flag of the Romani people, which consists of a horizontal bicolor of blue and green with a red 16-spoked wheel in the center. The flag is overlaid with barbed wire, signifying oppression and barriers faced by the Romani community. The background appears blurred.

    From now on and until the end of the year, we are in debt to the Earth and future generations.    Today is #EarthOvershootDay – the day we’ve used up all the natural resources our 🌍 can generate for 2024. We would need 1.7 Earths to sustain our current rate of consumption.    We need to protect our planet and restore the environment. And we are doing it with our #EUGreenDeal. Its priorities include:    🦑 protecting our biodiversity and ecosystems,  🌱 reducing air, water and soil pollution,  ♻️ moving towards a circular economy,  🗑️ improving waste management,  🌊 ensuring the sustainability of our blue economy and fisheries sectors.    It is our duty to give back to nature more than we take away from it. For us, for our planet and future generations. 

    • The visual shows a partial view of Earth from space, with the Northern Hemisphere visible. Overlaid on this are circular lines resembling an orbit, with months marked from January to December. A line intersects this path near August, indicating that Earth Overshoot Day occurs in 1 August 2024. The text “WE ARE HERE” suggests that it is currently Earth Overshoot Day. The European Commission’s logo is in the bottom right corner.
