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.

Join our livestream on 16 Apr 2026, 15:00 CEST. With debates in Europe intensifying over how to mitigate the impact of soaring energy prices, affordability, security and investment priorities, EASAC’s new Commentary provides a timely roadmap for action.
For evidence and recommendations, see the #EASAC Report on the Security of Sustainable Energy Supplies:

⚠️ South-East Europe’s #energy security faces heightened pressure amid escalating geopolitical tensions, including the wars in #Iran and #Ukraine, which are disrupting energy supplies and driving up prices.
♻️🔋 New pipelines are not the answer, said Neven Duić, Co-Chair of the #EASAC Energy Steering Panel at an event hosted by the Institute of Energy for South-East Europe (IENE) at @europarl_en last week. Instead, he urged the region to unlock its renewable potential.
♀️ Marie Curie made history in 1903 as the first woman to win a #NobelPrize, sharing it with her husband Pierre for their work on radioactivity. Yet 123 years on, women account for under 7% of all Nobel laureates.
In our miniseries on leading @IAPartnership we explore challenges and reflections on the position of women in the STEM community.
To every woman driving change in science and policy: Your rigour, empathy and bold vision inspire us and future generations. #FromPresenceToPower
🌊 Why Europe Needs A New Ocean Act
On #WorldWaterDay, Fiona Regan and Lars H. Smedsrud from EASAC’s Environment Steering Panel reflect on the @EUCommission proposal for a European #OceanAct and urge a single, coherent EU ocean policy framework to better protect the marine environment. #ItsScience

On the occasion of World Water Day, EASAC’s Environment Steering Panel co‑chair Professor Fiona Regan (Ireland) and panel member Professor Lars H. Smedsrud (Norway) reflect on the European Commission’s plan to propose an Ocean Act to strengthen and modernise marine spatial planning and to consolidate ocean‑related targets in a single legislative instrument. They emphasise the need to shift from fragmented policy instruments towards a single, coherent EU ocean framework to better protect the marine environment.
The #EU Governance Regulation and National Energy and Climate Plans are vital to Europe’s #EnergyTransition.
In feedback to a call for evidence by the @EUCommission for the review of the #EnergyUnion and #ClimateAction governance regulation, #EASAC urges it to use this revision to:
📋 Enforce common reporting standards
⚖️ Strengthen accountability
📈 Address energy poverty systematically
The EASAC Energy Steering Panel submits response to a public consultation and call for evidence by the European Commission to help shape the upcoming revision of the Governance Regulation on the Energy Union and Climate Action.
On International Women’s Day, we launch #FromPresenceToPower, a mini-series on leading #WomenInScience in cooperation with @IAPartnership!
Our first feature, EASAC President Lise Øvreås reminds us that advancing gender equality in science requires structural change so women can lead, influence, and help shape the agenda. Let’s keep pushing for structural change, equal opportunity, and representation at every level.

💡 “It is important that the voice of science, channelled through the academies of #Europe, is heard and has an impact on #energypolicy decisions,” says Alessandro Allegra, EASAC’s Energy Programme Director.
🇪🇺 Alessandro joined EASAC in November 2025. Previously employed by the European Commission’s Science, Policy and Ethics Unit, he brings knowledge of and expertise at the science-policy interface to #EASAC.

♻️ The #CircularEconomy is not only essential to keep a habitable planet; it is also major business opportunity. Yet the EU remains far from its goal to double circularity to 24% by 2030.
As @EP_Environment is to debate #plastics circularity tomorrow, we reiterate EASAC’s scientific advice:
