That's why Europe's new resilience law plans for 2Ā°C by 2050. Cut emissions and prepare, both at once. COP31 opens 9 Nov.

Greenhouse gas levels hit new record highs, locking in more long-term temperature increase.
The intensifying El NiƱo may lead to a further surge.

1 in every 10 units of the world's electricity is now solar.
@EmberEnergy: solar hit a record 10% of global power in H1 2026, up from 8.9% a year earlier, and over 25% at midday. Batteries are the key to sunset.

No land? Build solar up the walls.
Singapore raised its target to 4 GWp of solar by 2035 (from 3 GWp by 2030) and has 2.3 GWp today. Next: tenders for carports, facades and containerised solar (CNA).

Hydrogen partnership: yes. Carbon discount: no.
@PiyushGoyal pitched green hydrogen and Rotterdam in the Netherlands, while the Dutch trade minister said CBAM won't be renegotiated. Indian exporters need carbon data now.

Portugal just put batteries at the front of the grid queue.
Its first grid auctions since 2021 offer 750 MVA for standalone storage and 300 MVA for renewables. Towns get up to 70% of auction revenue (Government of Portugal).

Europe wants every plan built for 2Ā°C by 2050.
@EU_Commission's proposed Climate Resilience Law sets one path: 1.5Ā°C by 2030, 2Ā°C by 2050, 3Ā°C by 2100. Europe warms around twice as fast as the world.

Cutting heat pump support to fund defence would be self-defeating. Less gas is national security.

Cutting heat pump subsidies to pay for defence spending would be āself-defeatingā as reducing reliance on gas is a matter of national security, the boss of Octopus Energy has warned wp.me/p8Mk4U-1vOx
Europe wants to swap fossil plastics for plants.
@JessikaRoswall just launched the Bio-based Europe Alliance with 100+ members. @EU_ENV is consulting on bio-based plastic packaging until 13 Jan.

Scotland's Greens vote today on dropping their opposition to new nuclear.
The @scottishgreens motion backs only passively safe plants with local support. If it passes, the SNP is Holyrood's last party against it (The National).

Singapore makes about 95% of its power from gas. Now it will import gas made from waste.
Keppel, Sembcorp and Tuas Power will bring in up to 300MW of biomethane from 2028 in a 15-year pilot, enough for about 600,000 homes (EDB).

Germany has about 11GW of offshore wind. The goal is 70GW by 2045.
A new draft plan from its maritime agency BSH adds 14 sites of about 1GW each and drops five grid links, saving tens of billions of euros. Comments close 3 Dec.

Oil at $110 and Europe's gas at its highest since 2022, says @Reuters.
Every rooftop panel, heat pump and battery is one less bill tied to a fuel market we don't control. Energy security is climate action.

The shock of oil prices at a five-month high of $110 a barrel and gas prices in Asia and Europe hitting their highest levels since December 2022 is making its mark on household budgets.
As well as raising the costs of transport and heating, it āadds to pressure on food, clothing and packaging prices and contributes to elevated levels of inflation and borrowing costs reut.rs/4dQSeUW

Italy now has 88.8GW of renewable power, 48.3GW of it solar.
Terna data: 5.3GW added in 2026 so far, and renewables covered 42.1% of demand in the first nine months, even with hydro down 20%.

Britain is paying to keep a gas lifeline to Belgium open.
@ofgem approved a deal restoring 27.8GW of import capacity from 23 Oct, for a 1-in-20 cold day stress case. Cost: under 10p a month per gas home for five years.

Europe no longer makes solar glass, so it dropped the duties.
On 22 Oct the EU ended duties of up to 84.2% on Chinese solar glass. The last two EU plants shut in 2025 (@EU_Commission).

Europe's summer heat killed an estimated 50,391 people in 854 cities.
About two thirds were due to human-caused warming, say @imperialcollege and @LSHTM researchers. Cooler cities are now a public health job.
