Today, 🇪🇺 Heads of State are meeting to discuss the strategic agenda for next 5 years.

🇪🇺 This morning, we sent a message to EU Leaders. The #EUGreenDeal has set the EU on a path to sustainable growth. Complemented with an Industrial Deal, the Green Deal should remain a priority to ensure both clean AND profitable solutions are promoted. Along with more than 400 signatories including @amazon, @EDFofficiel, @Huawei, @IKEA, @Signify, @Uber, @ENGIEgroup and @SchneiderElec, we call on EU leaders to use the next 5 years of their mandate to confirm the Green Deal as Europe's growth engine.

🚰 "Water is still taken for granted and its socio-economic and environmental value is underestimated by many policymakers" said @durkkrol from @H20EU. When we sat down with him to discuss the subject, in the context of the #EUElections and our #EUManifesto, we wanted to know what he needed from the EU after the elections. His answer ? 🤜 A European Commission Vice-president in charge of Water. 🤜 A Water Strategy or action plan. 🤜 A Blue transition fund. For that, and more, featuring the likes of @CDP, head over to the full interview ⤵ solarimpulse.com/news/water-is-…

❌MYTH: “Renewable energy is unreliable and expensive” ✅Renewable energy is infinite, competitive, viable and flexible The #EUelections are approaching and GRA joins @solarimpulse and @bertrandpiccard to debunk myths about renewables: solarimpulse.com/choose-wisely/… #ChooseWiselyEU

MYTH 4️⃣ : THE ECOLOGICAL TRANSITION WILL MAKE YOU UNEMPLOYED 😨 Playing on the fear of workers from traditional economic sectors, this narrative helps getting votes if you are a sneaky politician... It is, at best, an oversimplification. The move towards a green economy is not just about phasing out old industries; 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬.

🇨🇭 Dimanche, la Suisse votera sur la Loi Electricité. La position de @solarimpulse est claire : la nature sera bien mieux protégée in fine si la Suisse augmente sa production d'énergie propre et locale, si elle gaspille moins, si elle diminue ses importations d'énergies fossiles… C'est ce que prévoit cette loi. Et c’est gagnant-gagnant : pour la nature et pour la Suisse. 🏞 🤝 🇨🇭 🔸 Le 9 juin, nous voterons oui. #9juin #LoiElectricitéOUI solarimpulse.com/actualites/loi…

🔋 ENERGY SYSTEMS ! What are they ? Well we have something planned for you in a few days... In the meantime, we sat down with @EUenergysavings, @SolarPowerEU, @EASE_ES and @cepi_paper to know more. On the menu ? Competitiveness, clean energy, flexibility and efficiency, obviously. #ChooseWiselyEU READ NOW ▶️ solarimpulse.com/news/clean-and…
