There would be lots to say about the framing ("burden" in the title?Really?), and the vagueness of the prompt (which regulation? What to simplify?)
My big takeaway also is the unbelievable amount of citizen replies, pushing against the idea of slashing more nature protection Is it even precendented?

Description of a call for feedback issued by the European Commission about the concept of "simplication of administrative burden in environmental legislation "

Statistics about the replies, showing close to 98% of the more than 112000 respondents are EU citizen

Over the last few weeks, I've spoken to experts to dig into the details of the Commission's proposal for a 90% emissions reduction by 2040

For the series finale, @smorgan.bsky.social joined me to discuss what we've learnt and what happens next. Listen here: foresightmedia.com/story/sTA2kS...

I added this one to my list on the #MerlinApp today and I feel like I caught a super rare pokemon, except it's much cooler because it's a real animal, and also it's a RAPTOR

Merci la @sncf-voyageurs.bsky.social de me proposer des alternatives suite au retard du train de mon premier segment de voyage, mais cet horaire me semble peu pratique

Avec @milajeudy.bsky.social et plusieurs autres, nous avons décidé, après un éloignement de la politique partisane, que le moment est trop grave pour ne pas s'engager. Nous expliquons ce choix dans cette tribune, et pourquoi nous pensons que la transformation à gauche passe par le parti socialiste

"L’extrême droite au pouvoir n’est pas une alternance politique comme 1 autre. C’est un basculement, la soumission de notre pays au mouvement réactionnaire international, son discours & son agenda. Nous refusons de le laisser advenir en spectateur.ice.s immobiles"

"The risk of saying the wrong thing is real. But the risk of saying nothing is greater. Staying silent limits the ability of business to shape tomorrow's economy. It cedes the narrative to those who profit from breakdown and disinformation." @cisl.cam.ac.uk @climateclg.bsky.social bit.ly/3Ed4kJs

In today's context, silence is not neutrality. It is a strategic risk.

Another example of first mover disadvantage, as the incumbents - lagging behind compliance delay - will get 3 more years to milk out their stranded assets, meaning cleaner options will remain more comparatively more expensive, longer. Some even have the audacity of calling it simplification 🙄

How do you define CDR? If you keep it open (both technological and natural), then "alongside" is an incentive at restauring degraded ecosystems and natural carbon sinks. Provided that it's not offsetting, but additional to mitigation, that is

You really are an attentive reader. Also, I would welcome your take on the power & potential of procurement, from the viewpoint of a company that works a lot with public authorities!

Adeline Rochet @cooladeline.bsky.social · Feb 26

I agree with your overall assessment, but the demand side/market creation aspect appear a bit weak to make clean products really cost competitive. The proposition doesn't get us out of fossil dependency as it stands, but there are good propositions that can put EU industry in a better direction

supply chains for sorting, collecting & retreating have been dismantled so fast, creating big gaps where there used to be effective & efficient solutions. Milk's a good example, with empty bottles collection that used to be the norm & cleaning facilities that have massively shut down few decades ago

What's fascinating, from a historical perspective, is how fast & deeply plastic has become undetachable from our lives. But it's been less than a century since it has massively spread out. My great grand parents generation, more or less. Amazing how fast we forgot how they did without it!
