our world is not doing well and fixing - somehow - this mess is - maybe still - at hand. Politics. Climate, Nature, Biodiversity. Policy, Sustainability. Responsable business and responsible politics. EU and living in Brussels.

The latest @eea.europa.eu European Climate Risk Assessment warns that several climate risks have already hit critical levels and could reach catastrophic levels by the end of this century.

💡 Key takeaways from our event with @envdefensefund.bsky.social, CERAC and Sweco ⤵️
European Climate Risk Assessment for businesses preparing for a resilient and competitive business in 2025 - IEEP AISBL
With the recent publication of the European climate risk assessment, the European Environment Agency (EEA) recalled the major risks that climate change (and unsustainable land use and water management) represents, and the necessity to increase the resilience of ecosystems, societies, and economic sectors. The assessment warns that several climate risks have already reached critical levels. If decisive action is not taken now, most climate risks identified could reach critical or catastrophic levels by the end of this century.

n the last years, EU believed in peace and EU invested in peace, unity and solidarity among EU nations.

Called it naivety, I call it nurturing hope for all.

In the last years, others believed in resentment and invested in war.

I call it nurturing fear to maximise control and deny hope to all

War as the major concern for Europe.
The terms of negotiation will have an even bigger impact for our common future.
Unity is paramount. Time to hold strong and together.

What a remarkable headline

“Musk examines how to oust Starmer as UK premier before next election”

“His view is that western civilisation itself is threatened,” one of the people added.

Yes. By him.

On the table : Decarbonisation vision, energy prices, competiveness, any silver bullet energy solution ( affordable, clean, secure), are we today changing the narrative, are we getting the right framework to keep the climate targets alive
