Līdzīgi kā lībiešu valoda Eiropas Savienībā (ES) pašlaik ir vēl 120 apdraudētas valodas. Dažās no tām runā vairāki tūkstoši cilvēku, citās - vien pāris desmiti vai pat tikai daži. Viens no Eiropas oficiālajiem mērķiem ir veicināt daudzvalodību. Tomēr neoficiālo valodu aizsardzībai pašreiz tiek darīts maz.

EU to curb industrial carbon emissions… slowly but surely | An episode by Léa Marchal

Lentement mais sûrement, l’UE réduit ses émissions industrielles de carbon

Maia Sandu, President of Moldova (in Romanian)

In an era of seeking to reduce our environmental footprint, it is essential to ensure that our products enjoy a full life cycle before being disposed of. But eventually, everything has an expiry date, so good waste management is also critical. 
The stakes are even higher when it comes to toxic and hazardous waste, because in addition to being harmful to our planet and all its inhabitants, it is much more complex to deal with: more difficult to sort, more expensive to manage, and more challenging to recycle properly or dispose of in a clean way.

Samuil Kolev, Bulgaria's Friends Of Water Association (in Bulgarian)

Zachary Paikin, Researcher At CEPS - EU To Be Worried About Russia In The Future

Most of us are prepared, to some extent, to make alterations in how we live for the sake of the planet, in the hope of preventing further climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental degradation. 
But what does 'to some extent' mean? How far are we really willing to go when it comes to making compromises in our daily lives?
