as U.S. climate tech founders and funders face dwindling capital and policy whiplash, many are looking to europe, with its ambitious yet stable climate policies, as an attractive beachhead market

"electrification is also the key to a dramatic improvement in energy efficiency, potentially reducing global final energy demand by 24% over the next 25 years, even as global GDP doubles" A truly stunning point. This is why I write about energy efficiency so much! www.ft.com/content/7258...

Electrotech is making its way around the world, as China’s clean technology exports hit a RECORD $20bn in August ⚡ This new high was due to rapid growth in: 🚗 EVs 🔋 Batteries And over HALF of this growth occurred in countries outside of the OECD #COP30 https://loom.ly/upwIj00#COP30

🍇🫒 España exporta más tecnología renovable que otros productos como vino o aceite.

What´s more, the updated NDC of the EU and its Member States is already published: www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/pre...

¡Tenemos acuerdo! 🍃 Hemos pactado una ley del clima con objetivo vinculante del 90% de reducción de emisiones para 2040 España llegaba al Consejo de Medioambiente con la máxima ambición y estamos satisfechos tras una larga noche de negociaciones Hoy gana Europa: el multilateralismo es el camino

Nach intensiven Verhandlungen im EU-Umweltrat ist es heute Nacht gelungen, eine Einigung über ein neues EU #Klimaschutzziel für 2040 herbeizuführen: 90 % Treibhausgasminderung müssen es bis dann sein. Und mit einem einstimmig beschlossenen #NDC für 2035 (66,25 - 72,5%) starten wir nach Belem. #COP30

#ENVI: EU Environment Ministers adopt a 2040 emissions reduction target of -90%, with the possibility of using international carbon credits, and an NDC for 2035. Press release 👇 tinyurl.com/3crz7ahe

60 yrs ago today (Nov 5, 1965), the 1st US government report to warn about climate change was published. "Restoring the Quality of Our Environment" included warning of C02 build-up and sea-level rise/melting ice-caps. allouryesterdays.info/2025/11/04/6... 1/n

More support from the #EUETS for decarbonisation and clean tech, including for production of electric motors for aircraft and for retrofitting existing aircraft

“70.6% of all newly registered cars in October were electric cars, and among private car buyers, the figure was even higher: a full 88.9% chose electric cars. Aka: electric cars have become the standard choice in Denmark.” 🇩🇰 “VW Group strong, taking 8 out of 10 in the top 10” ⚡️⚡️⚡️ #alwaysbecharging

No high-level US representatives will go to UN climate talks, Trump officials say - "I think most countries would prefer there to be no US,” a former State dept official said #COP30 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Great charts 🙏 Based on the charts by @electric-nick.bsky.social and @leraffl.bsky.social, I thought it would be fun to create a #map in the nice @landgeist.bsky.social format. Hope you'll find it interesting 🙏 The market share of new passenger #BEV 🔋🚘 registrations in the #EU, #EFTA and the #UK.

In many models an SPG collapse precedes an AMOC collapse, where after SPG convection ceases, that in the Nordic seas increases at first (warming), but after some decades it also stops there and starts cooling. There is large uncertainty, but an SPG collapse does increase the risk of an AMOC collapse

We still have a set of climate technologies that save tons of money and drive affordability. That list is longer today and gets longer every year. Most of these technologies have achieved less than 10% penetration into households and can be accelerated.

completely utterly mad

Another year, another history-making hot-water-fueled hurricane leaves @johnmoralestv.bsky.social nearly speechless

We need to react - not with fear, but with reason and determination. It’s time for institutions, civil society and the business community to work together for action. When we act collectively, we turn challenges into opportunities and hope into progress🌍🤝

This is so very, very bad. And yes, climate change plays a role. bmcnoldy.blogspot.com/2025/10/meli...

🌊 The Arctic is melting fast. A cargo ship just sailed from China to the UK via the Arctic for the first time, taking half the usual time. Of course, what looks like a shortcut is really a warning: climate change is redrawing our planet’s map. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

One of the many things @ninalakhani.bsky.social does so well is show the very real, very now cost of climate change at the most human level. This story is devastatingly good: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is a huge shame. Maritime emissions need to be reduced. It has taken years to build proposals to enhance committed clean shipping supporting decarbonisation, ocean health and innovation.

"USA threatens Norway with trade measures and visa denials" if it doesn't withdraw support for the IMO plan, which has been led by Norway. The climate and environment minister says "I understand that the threat Norway received was the same general threat other countries have received."

What carbon bullying looks like... 🎁🔗 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

“[Last year] CO2 in the global surface atmosphere increased by 3.5 ppm, the largest one-year increase since modern measurements began... This increase was driven by continued fossil CO2 emissions, enhanced fire emissions and reduced terrestrial/ocean sinks… which could signal a climate feedback.”

Record leap in CO2 fuels fears of accelerating global heating - CO2 in the air hit new high last year, with scientists concerned natural land and ocean carbon sinks are weakening @wmo-global.bsky.social #climatecrisis Story by me www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🇪🇸 ES +98%: EV sales DOUBLED, driven by a large number of more affordable electric models like the Renault 5, BYD Surf and Kia EV3. 🇵🇱 Poland +107%: Electric car sales also doubled - due to more affordable models and subsidies provided to people buying or leasing EVs. 3/

I'm loving this Pope.

The US now proposes to block all Chinese flights that use Russian airspace, with just 30 days warning. The Chinese airlines are unhappy. "Specifically, the Department proposes to prohibit...Chinese air carriers from utilizing Russian airspace in their passenger or combination services." #avgeek

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

Great article from @hannahritchie.bsky.social… and the EU ETS can fund action to reduce these non-CO2 climate impacts from aviation (and from shipping - where black carbon has a GWP of 900). It’s really good that this is getting more public attention

Washington has asked Brussels to scrap requirements for non-EU companies to provide “climate transition plans” and to change supply chain legislation to exclude US companies “with high-quality corporate due diligence”, according to a document seen by @financialtimes.com on.ft.com/46Ijpye

Global renewable energy generation surpasses coal for first time

Pope Leo XIV denounced people who deny climate change today, arguing that they are contributing to the destruction of God's creation.

Interesting exchange today at the Copenhagen Competitiveness Summit – a great opportunity to discuss with industry leaders the current challenges.

Our new study published this month finds that climate change will tend to create more noise around airports across Europe. The lift generated by a departing aircraft is less in warmer air, reducing climb angles by up to 7.5%. Study: doi.org/10.3390/aero... www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/...

The world can count on Europe's climate leadership. Our Nationally Determined Contribution will range between 66.25% and 72.5%. And we are working full speed on -90% by 2040. We are on our way to climate neutrality. link.europa.eu/vngFn4

We should not forget that this marks the first ever absolute, economy-wide GHG emissions target for China
