UNEP’s Adaptation Gap Report 2025 reveals developing countries need $310B+ per year by 2035, 12× current funding. Yet, global finance isn’t keeping pace.
“Adaptation is not a cost – it’s a lifeline.” - UN Secretary-General António Guterres

Europe’s energy reset in motion.
For decades, the continent depended on Russian gas & oil, cheap, but risky. The 2022 war changed everything. Now Europe is racing toward renewables & resilience.
Energy independence isn’t just about new suppliers, it’s about a new system. tinyurl.com/2u2pj8bj
Green roof or solar panels? Why not both!
A biosolar roof combines greenery with solar panels boosting biodiversity and power output.
- Green roofs cool rooftops by ~8°C
- Solar generation rises by up to 107%
- Nature thrives too
No need to choose, go green and solar.

From Brussels to the ballot box, the EU’s green transition isn’t just top-down policy anymore.
Citizens are co-designers of climate action, shaping everything from the Green Deal to the €86.7B Social Climate Fund.
Democracy meets climate ambition and participation builds trust, fairness & impact.

The EU auto industry stands at a crossroads.
Between the 2025 (-15%) and 2030 (-55%) COâ‚‚ targets lies a decisive window for transformation.
Path 1: real tech progress & EV scaling
Path 2: delay via quota trading
What Europe chooses now will shape 2035.
Transport makes up 21% of the EU’s CO₂ emissions about 760 Mt in 2022.
Slow decarbonisation could cost Europe €126 billion every year.
One of the biggest emitters, and one of the slowest to change.
The EU’s CO₂ quota system was meant to drive green innovation but five years on, it reveals a paradox.
Carmakers can “buy time” instead of transforming, while EU funds indirectly strengthen their electric rivals.
2025 will be a turning point.
Cycling towards a greener, healthier Europe!
- €4.5B for cycling (2021–2027)
- 900,000+ km of cycle paths
- Support for low-income households to get bikes & e-bikes
Let’s keep Europe rolling!
Between 2019 and 2021, hundreds of millions of euros flowed from traditional carmakers to EV brands.
For some electric vehicle makers, nearly 20% of their revenue came from this source, proving that EU COâ‚‚ rules have become a profit engine.
The green transition isn’t just technological, it’s a financial revolution too.
October is European Cybersecurity Month!
Join events across Europe from workshops to cyber defence exercises in Estonia to learn how to stay safe online.
The EU’s CO₂ rules for carmakers:
2020 → max 95g CO₂/km
2025 → -15% vs 2021
2030 → -55% vs 2021
Those who exceed limits pay €95 per extra gram per car or buy credits from others.
A mix of quotas, fines & trading progress or loophole?
The EU’s Fitfor55 aims to cut emissions by 55% by 2030.
The Rolling Road (RoLa) puts trucks on trains slashing COâ‚‚ by up to 95%.
Rail’s share is still low, but the potential is huge.
Let’s get Europe on track. 🌍
The COâ‚‚ quota system was meant to push carmakers toward cleaner tech but many just buy time by purchasing credits.
On paper: emissions fall.
In reality: innovation slows.
Is this real progress or just a pricey illusion?
Australian winery Brown Brothers has launched the country’s first aluminium wine bottle 40% lighter than glass and fully recyclable.
No change in taste, just fewer emissions.
A bold step toward the wine industry’s net zero by 2050 goal.
Communities across Europe are proving that real change starts locally. From bike lanes to tree-planting days, collective action is turning climate goals into everyday reality. Find out how in our latest article.
Fixing weak spots in Europe’s energy system: the EU is upgrading grids and cross-border flows to cut costs, boost reliability, and make space for more renewables: a key step toward a cleaner, more stable power future.
Autumn’s harvest is more than a celebration of flavor: it’s a chance to make smarter choices. Seasonal, local foods can cut transport emissions, save energy, and strengthen rural economies, playing a key role in Europe’s 2030 climate goals.
