Climate-aligned finance in the EU is moving in the wrong direction – the only area in ECNO’s analysis with a negative trend. Clean energy, buildings, transport and industry need more investment, while fossil fuel subsidies keep growing. Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-...

The EU risks falling behind as public money funds fossil fuels abroad and climate priorities remain weak in foreign policy. Aligning finance with the Paris Agreement is key for the EU to lead globally the clean transition. Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-...

The EU’s clean electricity shift is moving but not fast enough. The elements of the system that enable clean electricity like grids, battery storage and smart meters are still developing too slowly.

The EU’s industrial transition needs to pick up the pace. The upcoming Industrial Accelerator Act and Grids Package are a chance to bring it up to speed. Read more to understand what the EU must get right to build an industry fit for a clean energy future: climateobservatory.eu/blog-can-ind...

Growth in electric vehicles and charging infrastructure is insufficient to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. ECNO’s analysis shows EU policies can decarbonise transport, boost competitiveness, and make mobility more sustainable for all. Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-...

Progress on sustainable lifestyles in Europe is moving far too slowly, even though they are key to cutting emissions. ECNO's latest analysis shows citizens need policies that make low-carbon choices easy and affordable. Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-...

The clean tech industry is gaining momentum. EU policies are helping firms scale up clean tech, boost competitiveness, and cut fossil fuel dependence. ECNO’s analysis shows the sector is on track to meet 2030 targets. Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-...

ECNO’s latest progress report is here, and it’s an essential read for anyone shaping the EU’s path to climate neutrality. Here are 5 key takeaways for policy-makers and why they matter for the EU’s clean transition. Read the full report: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-...

The EU’s clean transition is being held back by slow electrification, a significant climate investment gap and aging and inadequate infrastructure. Read the full report to see how these priorities can work together to deliver a competitive EU: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-...

Boosting demand for cleantech is key to EU competitiveness. ECNO’s latest report recommends revising EU public procurement rules, and targeted support to cut upfront costs of buying clean products. Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-...

#LoMásDestacado | Los incendios forestales están debilitando el sumidero natural de carbono en Europa, que sigue financiando combustibles fósiles, advierte el @ecno-climate.bsky.social 

Watch now as @matthiasduwe.bsky.social, Eike Karola Velten, Clara Calipel, Mia Moisio, Cillian O'Donoghue, @parodijulian.bsky.social and @asnieg.bsky.social discuss our findings on the EU’s progress towards a clean, fair, and competitive economy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1Md...

⏱️ TL;DR? 🍿 Now you can also watch the presentation of the latest ECNO report on #EU progress!

Where does EU progress on climate neutrality stand today? ECNO’s annual progress report has just launched – it shows that while progress is being made, it’s still too slow, putting EU competitiveness, resilience and fairness at risk. Discover our findings ⬇️

Don't miss the #launch of our third annual progress #report! We'll show how the transition to #climateneutrality ensures a clean, resilient and fair #EU. Listen to Cilian O'Donoghue from Eurelectric and @parodijulian.bsky.social from @epicothinktank.bsky.social. Register now: shorturl.at/3tfFZ

What’s holding back the EU’s clean, fair, and competitive future? Join us on 3 September for the official launch of ECNO’s annual independent EU-wide assessment of progress on the transition to a clean, fair, and competitive Europe. Register now: climateobservatory.eu/launch-event...

How much progress is the EU really making on the road to climate neutrality – and where is it falling short? On 3 September, ECNO will launch its 2025 Flagship Report, tracking progress across the EU and highlighting where action is needed. Register now: climateobservatory.eu/launch-event...

More people in the EU are buying plant-based proteins and eating less beef. But 80% of farm subsidies still go to animal-based food production. New analysis from ECNO shows the growing gap between what people are eating and EU food policy.

The EU Commission has published its proposal for a 2040 climate target. It includes a focus on “enabling conditions” needed for the transition, an approach ECNO has been championing. Get the latest on progress on enabling conditions across the economy here: climateobservatory.eu/progress-tra...

Food waste goes far beyond what’s tossed in the bin. It's a sign of deeper inefficiencies in EU food systems, with major climate, social, and economic impacts. New research from ECNO shows that food waste is a major barrier to the EU climate neutrality goals. 🧵 (1/3)

The EU committed to climate neutrality by 2050, but existing EU monitoring efforts remain insufficient. That’s where ECNO steps in. We fill this gap with rigorous analysis, going beyond emissions to assess the drivers of change. Follow us for insights on the climate transition.

The path to climate neutrality isn’t just about tracking emissions. ECNO’s unique methodology focuses on what enables future progress, like infrastructure, investments, and access to clean alternatives - offering a deeper assessment of the EU’s climate transition. 🧵 (1/5)

Congratulations to our partner @i4ce.bsky.social on the 2025 Climate Investment Report tracking real economy investments in energy, buildings, transport & clean tech across the EU: www.i4ce.org/en/publicati... The data from the report will feed into ECNO’s Progress Assessment in Sept 2025.

The EU’s Competitiveness Compass sets a bold vision: climate neutrality by 2050. Are Member States on a credible path to reach their targets? ECNO’s report finds key gaps in the four final National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) analysed. Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/deliv...

Are EU countries on track to meet their 2030 climate and energy goals? ECNO’s new report finds major information and policy gaps in the four final National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) analysed (France, Ireland, Italy and Sweden). Here’s what you need to know 🧵👇

The #ESOTC2024 report is a reminder that Europe faces intensifying climate extremes. While impact data improves, one key gap remains: reliable, consistent data on climate adaptation. To close the adaptation gap, we need the tools to track our response. climate.copernicus.eu/ESOTC

The new European State of the Climate report from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social offers a clear, data-rich snapshot of how climate change is reshaping Europe. At ECNO, we track how ready Europe is to respond. This context shows the need to close the adaptation gap is more urgent than ever.

The EU’s 2030 climate and energy goals are within reach, but stronger national plans are needed. ECNO’s updated briefing on 22 final updated NECPs highlights key opportunities for a climate neutral economy. See how the EU can turn ambition into action: climateobservatory.eu/delivering-2...

A new Circular Economy Act, sustainable public procurement and a voluntary carbon intensity label: The #CleanIndustrialDeal takes into account how to make the sustainable choice the norm. The Lifestyles chapter of @ecno-climate.bsky.social will monitor if the policies lead to real-world change.

🚀 The Clean Industrial Deal launched today—Europe's push for a green industrial future. ECNO’s analysis has identified essential areas for action: 🥼 More R&D funding for cleantech 💶 A Cleantech Investment Plan to boost investor confidence (1/2)
