"**News Headline:** Environmental Protection **Paraphrased:** Protecting the environment's health - Environmental safety at risk due to the surge of populism.
The environmental organization BUND cautions about significant repercussions for climate and nature preservation as a result of the growth in popularity of populist parties. The fate of Europe hangs in the balance with upcoming elections on June 9th. Felix Ekardt, the group's head, spoke out following a gathering in Dresden, "If populist parties wield significant influence over European policy after the European elections, democracy, the existence of the EU, and the potential for effective environmental protection would be at risk." A more robust EU environmental policy is required, not less. "The upcoming European Parliament must passionately promote the European Green Deal and not weaken it," Ekardt declared. This encompasses completely eliminating the use of fossil fuels to adhere to the Paris Climate Agreement's pledges.
