Climate inaction could cost Europe €5.6 trillion by 2050, study finds

Getting closer to #COP30 Europe’s climate credibility hangs in the balance at COP30 by @kirataylor.bsky.social www.theparliamentmagazine.eu/news/article...

Independent media are essential for protecting and promoting democracy in Europe. That's why we have made €13.8 million available for cross-border journalism partnerships and media pluralism. More info: link.europa.eu/NQxxNw

The European Commission “is ready at the technical level” to change its €2 trillion, seven-year budget plan, and MEPs will force it to do so anyway if it outright refuses, the European Parliament’s co-lead negotiator Siegfried Muresan told me. www.euractiv.com/news/intervi...

The European Union's national leaders spent a summit venting their frustration about the bloc's green transition — and ultimately agreed on language that didn't demand specific changes to climate legislation.

In 2023, the EU generated 79.7 million tonnes of packaging waste in Europe, equivalent to 177.8kg per inhabitant.
