Sweden’s policy smorgasbord is already groaning with some chewy (and even unpalatable) items — but the Commission keeps adding more to its plate.
By this point in a five-year EU election cycle, the vast majority of new policy proposals have already arrived from the EU executive branch, and are already on their legislative journey. But as Sweden takes over the rotating Council presidency with a year-and-a-half left until the next European election, that’s not the case.

OUTSIDE NATURITA, Colo. ― Along Highway 141, the mud-stained Dolores River snakes its way through sheer canyons carved between towering mountains of crimson sandstone. Patches of grayish-green sagebrush, yellow flowering rabbit brush and stands of stunted junipers dot the sun-baked landscape.
The area’s natural beauty contrasts sharply with the telltale scars of its industrial past. A few miles to the south, signs warn visitors to keep out if they want to avoid radiation ― a legacy of the uranium mining
Das FBI untersucht einen Brief, der mit einer giftigen Chemikalie versetzt und mit Drohungen und antisemitischen Symbolen gefüllt ist, der anonym an eine Umweltwählergruppe in New Mexico geschickt wurde.
Es richtete sich an Conservation Voters New Mexico, die Demokratische Partei des Bundesstaates und den Abgeordneten des Bundesstaates Nathan Small. Der Gesetzgeber, ein Demokrat aus Las Cruces, hat ein Gesetz mitgetragen, das die Versorgungsunternehmen in New Mexico zu einem kohlenstofffreien Energiesystem bis 2045 verpflichtet, stellte das Albuquerque Journal fest.

Jedes Jahr, Das US-Landwirtschaftsministerium gibt Milliarden von Dollar aus, um den großflächigen Anbau von Rohstoffen wie Mais und Sojabohnen zu unterstützen. Diese Feldfrüchte wiederum überschwemmen das Nahrungsmittelsystem, mästen Tiere auf Amerikas Fleischfarmen im Fabrikmaßstab und liefern den Großteil der Süßstoffe und Fette in verarbeiteten Lebensmitteln.
Diese Art der Landwirtschaft garantiert nicht nur eine
LONDON — It was during his first address as king — the speech he’d waited his whole life to make — that Charles III acknowledged he will have to give up some of the things that have given him the most satisfaction.
“My life will of course change as I take up my new responsibilities,” he said, a little more than 24 hours after his mother died at Balmoral Castle, bringing to an end the reign of the only monarch
Greetings and welcome to EURACTIV’s Green Brief. Below you’ll find the latest roundup of news covering energy & environment from across Europe. You can subscribe to the weekly newsletter here.
Saving energy seems the obvious solution to tackling the climate crisis, limiting the blow of high energy bills and increasing Europe’s energy independence. It could also be a vital shield for Europe in what many call an energy war with Russia.
But EU countries have been dragging their heels
In her new book, Wild by Design: The Rise of Ecological Restoration, environmental historian Laura J. Martin charts the history of a practice devoted to mending damaged ecosystems, which she argues is currently the most important mode of environmental management in the world. Martin, an assistant professor of environmental studies at Williams College, defines ecological restoration as “a mode of reconciliation with the human past.”
EU countries are scrambling for new sources of gas to phase out Russian fossil fuels and punish Moscow for its brutal war in Ukraine. But in the rush to diversify, Europe once again risks overlooking a no-regret solution: energy conservation.
In its REPowerEU plan outlined last month, the European Commission estimated that 10 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas could be saved by next winter if all households turned down their thermostats by 1°C. Frontloading deployment of rooftop solar panels
We stopped five hundred yards above a watering hole. Roman turned on his electronic call—a beige device that resembled a boom box—and unfolded a camouflage seat in front of a pair of hemlocks. He got comfortable, as if ready to watch an outdoor concert. His rifle lay across his knees.
The call’s simulated wolf howls carried into the basin, followed by recordings of an elk calf (which sounded like a mewling kitten) and a wounded rabbit (cranky baby). Nothing moved
The Duke of Cambridge looked in good spirits this evening as he stepped out in London for the Tusk Conservation Awards – just hours before the BBC’s new documentary about the warring Princes William and Harry will air.
Prince William, 39, looked dashing in a royal blue suit with a white shirt and textured tie as he arrived at the BFI Southbank in the British capital to celebrate Africa’s leading wildlife protectors.
It comes amid the BBC’s decision to release
