At its core is the recently drafted European Climate Law, preparing the path for reaching carbon neutrality by 2050. But while the Council and the European Parliament deliberate on the specifics of the pioneering...

The EU is trying to help matters by pushing electric vehicles and batteries – but while this would help with decarbonization, it comes with its own risks, as Radostina Primova explains.

For Europe to re-connect and meet its Paris goals, the European Union must empower citizens to build cross-border local energy unions. Anna Leidreiter and Radostina Primova explain. Increased efficiency targets are a good step, but it’ll take more than that to reunite European citizens ( Public...

Radostina Primova explains. Half of the EU’s palm oil is imported to make biofuels – with devastating environmental consequences (Photo by...
