Panel Discussion by UBA & EEA: "Circular Economy for Resilience"
Pressure on natural resources is increasing, while geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties are compounding the challenges facing Europe. In this context, the transition to a circular economy is more important than ever, as it can help reduce resource dependencies, strengthen economic resilience, and mitigate environmental impacts.
MediaFaro AnalysisAI data centres could have a carbon footprint that matches a small European country, a new study finds.
AI systems could produce 80 million tons of CO₂ in 2025 and as much water as the world’s bottled water industry.
But it’s hard to measure as tech companies do not release all of the details.

Earthworm 🐌This report delves into the intricate interplay between drivers, pressures and impacts on soil in the 32 Member States of the European Environment Agency (EEA), along with six cooperating countries from the West Balkans, Ukraine and UK, shedding light on the multifaceted challenges facing soil conservation efforts. Our analysis shows the complex interactions among various factors, both anthropogenic and natural, shaping soil degradation processes and their subsequent consequences. We highlight key findings, including the significant impacts of soil degradation on agriculture, ecosystem resilience, water quality, biodiversity, and human health, underscoring the urgent need for comprehensive soil management strategies. Moreover, our examination of citizen science initiatives underlines the importance of engaging the public in soil monitoring and conservation efforts. This work emphasises the policy relevance of promoting sustainable soil governance frameworks, supported by research, innovation, and robust soil monitoring schemes, to safeguard soil health and ensure the long-term resilience of ecosystems.

AkshayEurope needs to prepare faster for climate risks, says European Environment Agency.
Europe is the fastest warming continent in the world!
Particularly urgent are risks to: marine, coastal (and other) ecosystems, coastal and river flooding, risks to food production, health risks from heatwaves, risks from wildfires.

Europe is not prepared for rapidly growing climate risks
Europe is the fastest warming continent in the world, and climate risks are threatening its energy and food security, ecosystems, infrastructure, water resources, financial stability, and people’s health. According to the European Environment Agency’s (EEA) assessment, published today, many of these risks have already reached critical levels and could become catastrophic without urgent and decisive action.
@gauffriau I ❤️ 😍 💗 #Zotero. I donated my 'good cause' share from @afallen to it this year, and was also the prime mover behind the #EuropeanEnvironmentAgency officially adopting it back in 2012 or so
