This series of stockshots illustrate various types of nature and biodiversity in Europe, and a series of EU-funded projects aiming to protect habitats and species on land, in the air and in the marine environment.

Infoclip: Biodiversity in Europe – Marine biodiversity

This video stockshot offers illustration footage of various types of adaptation measures. Some projects are directly EU-funded, whereas others are part of the European Climate Adaptation Platform Climate-ADAPT, promoting access and sharing of data and information on how to adapt to climate change.

Infoclip: European Mobility week - Car-Free Days

Over 1 billion people in some 100 countries face risks related to desertification and half of EU countries are impacted. Every minute, 23 hectares of land is lost, more than the average size of EU farms. Climate change can make it worse, as does human activity. This land degradation process affects both food production and biodiversity. Today, measuring and monitoring pose great challenges. In the European Union, data exist but there is no EU common approach as yet. In the future, the new European Green Deal and the ‘From Farm to Fork’ strategy will contribute to protecting our land.

Insects, while commonly consumed elsewhere in the world, have long been off the menu in Europe, but they could soon be creeping their way onto our plates. Entomophagy, the practice of eating insects, is now gaining serious interest. Is it set to take Europe by swarm? Insects are the most diverse group of organisms on the planet and over 1 000 different species are regularly eaten in Africa, Asia, and Central and South America. Nutritionally dense and versatile, insects are already available for human consumption in some EU Member States, either sold whole or in processed products. With the EU committed to transitioning to a more sustainable and resilient food system as part of the European Green Deal and in light of the Covid‑19 pandemic, insects could offer a greener alternative component of future animal protein production.

Clothing manufacture and consumption have a huge negative impact on both the environment and people. Sustainability is not only about the environment, but is also an economic and social indicator, and the clothing industry is a good example illustrating their interconnections. Are technological innovations alone enough to 'tailor' a green and fair future for fashion? Restrictions: ©The material may not be edited and must be shown entirely.
