Last week, the #EASAC Environment Steering Panel met in Amsterdam to advance its mission to provide science-based advice for EU environmental policy. A key topic of discussion was the upcoming project on water scarcity and retention in Europe. We thank the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) for hosting the meeting.

Last month, #EASAC launched its Commentary on #Energy System Integration, sparking discussions on the strategic imperative to accelerate #decarbonisation.

Experts emphasized how advancing renewables shields against fossil fuel price shocks and shortages.

🛡️ Shielding Europe from Energy Price Shocks and Shortages by Accelerating Change

⚡ Europe is facing its biggest energy crisis in a century, mandating an accelerated transition to home-grown renewable energies. Today, we have launched a new Commentary which emphasises that radical energy system transformation and integration is a strategic imperative.

#EASAC #Energy #EnergyCrisis #EnergyTransition #ItsScience #Science4Policy

In a letter to the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), leading scientists, including #EASAC experts, urge the #IPCC to fix loopholes in its carbon-accounting rules.

They warn: splitting land-use and #energy carbon accounting lets countries claim #CO2 cuts not reflected in real emissions across the whole life cycle.
