Last week, the European Commission proposed doubling its support to Greenland as part of the next EU seven-year budget. Which means that for 2028–2034, the Commission is proposing over €530 million in funding for Nuuk. www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

Bankers know the risk. The head of the European Central Bank Christine Lagarde warned cutting the scope of the EU’s sustainability reporting directives could weaken the EU’s central banking system, in a letter addressed to members of the European Parliament. www.esgtoday.com/ecb-presiden...

The EU Deforestation Regulation will contribute to G7 commitments. In the latest G7 summit in June, leaders stated that "We will align with commitments to halt and reverse deforestation and forest and land degradation by 2030 globally" g7.canada.ca/en/news-and-...

Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one child per hour during Israel's war in Gaza. “A whole classroom of children killed every day for nearly two years,” UNICEF’s executive director said. Here are some of their stories: wapo.st/3UCiAjn

Forests and vegetation absorb 30% of carbon from burning fossil fuels. A vital climate service performed at virtually no cost by trees around the world, from tropical rainforests to temperate and boreal forests. If we lose them, we are lost. www.wri.org/insights/for...

Have your say! EU has published a call for evidence seeking views on how to strengthen the sustainability of EU and international fisheries and promote enhanced global and regional governance. Open until 15 September! See below. oceans-and-fisheries.ec.europa.eu/news/commiss...

Deforestation is behind 10% of global emissions. The EU deforestation regulation aims to ensure deforestation-free supply chains for 7 key agricultural commodities produced or imported into the EU. Here the latest FAQ update for those implementing the regulation. circabc.europa.eu/ui/group/348...

Nuclear power plants can be unreliable on current climate change trends. They are dependent on water supply and reasonable temperatures: two things that will be harder to get if the world fails to reduce emissions right now. www.euronews.com/2025/07/02/f...

Free market basics.

Major operators who have invested in EU Deforestation Regulation compliance systems are coming out in favour of maintaining this bulwark of the European Green Deal, both in timeline and scope. www.linkedin.com/posts/neuman...

Climate change is a very competitive problem compared to others. For Europe in particular. The European continent has been warming twice as fast as the global average since the 80s - the fastest-warming continent on Earth, according to @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social www.copernicus.eu/en/news/news...

And we are losing.

Killing to make a profit : excess pollution caused by those devices contributed to around 16,000 premature deaths in the U.K. and 30,000 cases of asthma. For the U.K. and Europe, the death toll amounted to 124,000 — plus costs of around €760 billion www.yahoo.com/news/analysi...

Yes it is.

Week of sweltering US heat – is this the new normal in a warming world? #Climate

"One health": if our climate is sick, we will be sick eventually. The situation is particularly unjust for young people like these graduates: with all their lives ahead of them, and already victims to more than 30 years of complacency, denial and nibbling around the borders of climate action.

Rare weather, but not surprising weather. This has been repeatedly forecast by @ipcc.bsky.social and climate science. More than 30 years ago world leaders knew this would happen if they did nothing. They know even more today. Still not doing enough. Take care, follow the instructions.👇

Crucial step by @ec.europa.eu: a legislative proposal whereby the EU would gradually and effectively stop the import of Russian gas and oil by the end of 2027. ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

Many reasons why the EU has embarked on a circular economy journey. An important one is this: applying circular economy principles across the EU has the potential to create around 700.000 new jobs by 2030. 4 million jobs are already circular, more coming. www.eea.europa.eu/en/circulari...

@ec.europa.eu defended restrictions to bottom trawling successfully. The EU General Court upheld a ban on deep-sea fishing in parts of the Atlantic that are particularly rich with marine life. Protecting the ocean ensures fish stocks can regenerate and thrive. www.euronews.com/green/2025/0...

Deep-sea mining is highly controversial, with evidence showing mining activity can cause lasting damage to fragile marine ecosystems. One area off of the US, mined as an experiment 50 years ago, still bears scars and shows little sign of recovery. theconversation.com/seabed-minin...

@ec.europa.eu to propose a sweeping new law to manage the use of Europe's oceans, according to the recently adopted European Ocean Pact. The Ocean Act proposal, announced recently by EU Oceans Commissioner Costas Kadis, may be introduced by 2027. oceans-and-fisheries.ec.europa.eu/european-oce...

Simple facts and great remarks by @teresaribera.ec.europa.eu on the EU Water Resilience Strategy: "Water is life. It connects every part of our world. It sustains our health, grows our food, powers our homes and industries. Quite simply, without water, nothing works". ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

Key report on AI by @stanforduniversity.bsky.social. It would be great if next report included water use by data centres. Mounting evidence that this might be a blind spot, particularly in a context of drought and growing populations in many parts of the world. hai.stanford.edu/ai-index/202...

Water sustains life, connects communities & fosters peace. Yet, billions still lack access to it. On #WorldWaterDay we 🇪🇺 call for stronger water & climate policies to protect this vital resource. Let’s ensure water is not a source of crises but a driver of prosperity & peace.

Fisheries observers hold a job little known by the public but essential to the oceans: monitoring fishing vessels. The sector has its share of encounters with illegal fishing and even other illicit activity, so the job comes with risks. Some die. True ocean heroes. urldefense.com/v3/__https:/...
