The European Commission has launched the first reforms to the EU Emissions Trading System, aiming to stabilise carbon prices and unlock greater sustainable finance flows. Combined with major renewables investments and new ESG reporting standards, these developments are reshaping the rules of green business across Europe and beyond.
Record-breaking solar cell efficiency, lithium-air battery breakthroughs, and a €55 million green finance deal in Morocco signal that the energy transition is accelerating across technology and policy fronts. Here is what the latest cleantech developments mean for Europe and beyond.
Italy has voted to extend coal-fired power plant operations by 13 years, citing energy shortages — a decision that directly threatens EU climate targets and arrives as the UN confirms the hottest decade on record. Here is what it means for Europe’s environmental credibility and energy future.
The European Commission has launched the first wave of EU ETS reforms, reshaping carbon pricing and sustainable finance across the continent. From France’s 12 GW renewable tenders to the first CRCF-aligned carbon credits, green business is entering a new era of accountability and opportunity.
From EU carbon market reforms and France’s 12 GW renewable tenders to the EPA’s microplastics alert and Amazon’s new ESG tools, sustainability is moving from ambition to hard policy and market reality. Here’s what the latest developments mean for businesses, investors, and citizens.
From UK green hydrogen contracts to Germany’s solar milestones, Europe’s clean energy transition is accelerating on multiple fronts. With 91% of new renewables now cheaper than fossil fuels globally, the economic and policy case for clean energy has never been stronger.
Europe’s food systems are at a crossroads, with agroecology, plant-based innovation, and supply chain sustainability reshaping how the continent grows and eats. Here is what the evidence says — and what still needs to change.
In a striking escalation of the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran , a U.S. fighter jet has been shot down over Iranian territory. This unprecedented event marks the first successful targeting of a manned American aircraft by Iranian forces since the war began, posing significant im
Five years after its launch, the EU Green Deal has delivered measurable progress on emissions and clean investment — but regulatory complexity, economic pressures, and geopolitical shocks are forcing a strategic reset. The next chapter will test whether Europe can maintain climate ambition while making its rules workable at scale.
From perovskite-silicon solar panels reaching commercial scale to vertically farmed houseplants and AI-optimised energy grids, green technology is undergoing a decisive leap forward. Europe is at the centre of this transformation — but capturing its full potential demands coordinated investment and policy action.
