In a recent interview with Euronews, Virginijus Sinkevičius, the outgoing European Commissioner for Environment, Ocean and Fisheries, expressed his confusion over the sudden shift in position on the deforestation law following its approval. Sinkevičius stated that he finds it ‘difficult’ to comprehend why there has been such a significant change in attitude towards the legislation.
The deforestation law, which was recently passed, aims to combat the widespread destruction of forests and protect biodiversity. However, despite its approval, there has been a noticeable shift in the stance taken towards the law, leaving Sinkevičius puzzled by the sudden change.
During the interview, Sinkevičius highlighted the importance of protecting forests and the environment, emphasizing the need for strong policies and regulations to address deforestation. He also stressed the need for collective action to tackle this pressing issue and ensure the sustainability of our planet’s natural resources.
Sinkevičius’s remarks come at a critical time as the world grapples with the devastating effects of deforestation and climate change. The urgency to address these issues has never been greater, and leaders must take decisive action to protect our forests and preserve biodiversity.
As Sinkevičius prepares to leave his role as European Commissioner, his words serve as a reminder of the challenges we face and the need for continued commitment to environmental protection. His comments also highlight the importance of maintaining a consistent and unwavering stance on issues as crucial as deforestation, emphasizing the need for unity and determination in the fight against environmental degradation.
