The EU Climate Pact community in #Greece has a new EU Climate Pact Partner. Let’s meet we4all! 💠 we4all is a non profit environmental and humanitarian organization that started its action in #Greece after the fires of Mati in 2018. We4all is active in ecosystem restoration, forest protection, urban greening as well as educational and awareness initiatives for children and adults on climate and sustainable solutions. 🔹 But why did We4all applied to become an 𝗘𝗨 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿? We believe in the power of coordinated and united action, we believe in partnerships and we have faith in the institutions of the European Commission to lead for positive change in the global environmental scene. It was therefore an honor for us to be considered and accepted as a partner. 🌐 What motivated We4all to take action to fight against climate change? Seeing our forests and ecosystems be destroyed by wildfires, seeing people neglect and disrespect nature, seeing biodiversity getting weaker by the year forced us to take action and become the change we wanted to see in our world, hoping to inspire others to do the same. What’s next? ➡️ We4all is organizing 𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 on the 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿, in #Drafi Attica. This is only a symbolic event and a part of our major goal for this season, to plant 1 million trees. Everyone is welcome and details will follow on our social media accounts. #EUClimatePact, #MyWorldOurPlanet EU Environment and Climate Ioannis Iliopoulos, Diana Fagoudi, Evanthia Iliadi - Vagena
