A Guardian investigation reveals the UK exported 139,000 tonnes of waste to Turkey, where poor communities face microplastics and toxic pollution. The story highlights how wealthy nations use plastic waste exports to avoid responsibility for their consumption.
Energy
Solar energy accounted for 19% of Portugal's electricity consumption in July, marking the first time it led the national mix. Hydroelectric (16%), wind (13%), and biomass (5%) comprised the remainder of renewable generation.
Energy
Off-grid solar photovoltaic systems are expanding across 2,000+ Amazon communities, providing electricity for internet, health, and education services. A collaborative initiative's annual report documents the renewable energy deployment in areas previously without grid access.
Wildlife
Scientists advocate protecting primate habitats as an umbrella conservation strategy to safeguard thousands of other species facing rapid biodiversity decline.
Energy
U.S. utility-scale battery storage capacity grew at an average annual rate of 70% over three years, reaching 43.6 GW by end of 2025 with 8.3 GW added in the first half of 2026.
Policy
Senator Mike Lee introduced a bill to roll back energy efficiency standards and restrict the Department of Energy from implementing new ones. The measure would increase energy waste, strain the power grid, and raise consumer costs.
Energy
Spain allocated €274.2 million for four renewable hydrogen projects with 102.27 MW capacity. The EU Commission approved a €780 million Dutch scheme supporting renewable hydrogen production.
Policy
Suriname's government has begun enforcing restrictions against illegal Amazon rainforest clearing for agriculture and cattle ranching. Officials are investigating illegal settlements and revising zoning regulations across hundreds of thousands of hectares.

A wildfire in western Borneo threatened an orangutan rehabilitation center operated by YIARI, underscoring how Indonesia's worsening fire season endangers both forests and conservation efforts.
Wildlife
The Trump administration is narrowing the definition of "harm" under the Endangered Species Act, potentially removing habitat protections for hundreds of species. This change threatens to increase extinction risk for America's rarest wildlife after 50 years of broader protections.
Climate
A study finds human-driven climate change made Canada's deadly wildfires twice as likely by intensifying fire-prone weather conditions. The blazes have forced evacuations and spread toxic smoke across North America.
Energy
Romania used explosives to clear the Danube for nuclear plant cooling amid climate-driven water shortages. Europe's nuclear infrastructure faces challenges from drought and changing water availability.
Policy
Brazil's Chamber of Deputies is reviewing a bill requiring manufacturers, importers, and retailers to collect and recycle solar panels and batteries at end-of-life. The mandatory take-back scheme aims to establish producer responsibility for renewable energy equipment.
Energy
India approved a government scheme to develop 5 GW of floating solar on reservoirs and industrial ponds paired with energy storage systems. The initiative aims to expand renewable energy capacity with a minimum two-hour storage requirement.
Policy
China has released its 15th five-year plan dedicated to addressing climate change. The plan outlines the country's national response strategy to climate-related challenges.
Climate
France and Spain face historic wildfires with comparisons to WWII scale. The article argues governments must adopt genuine wartime-level preventive actions rather than just rhetorical comparisons.
Energy
Tesla Megapacks are now operational at Ørsted's Old 300 battery storage project in Texas, providing 250 MW/500 MWh of grid support capacity. The deployment demonstrates large-scale battery storage integration into the Texas power grid.
Policy
The Interior Department has negotiated agreements with energy companies to abandon offshore wind projects in exchange for billions in compensation. The deals redirect development focus toward fossil fuel infrastructure rather than renewable energy.
EV
Ford announced its affordable midsize electric pickup truck named Fathom, starting at $28,350. The vehicle aims to make EV adoption more accessible to mainstream consumers.
Energy
Tesla begins production of its next-generation Megapack 3 battery at a new Texas facility, capable of manufacturing 50 GWh annually with 28% higher energy density than previous models.
Policy
A U.S. District Court ruled against the Trump administration's freeze on wind project reviews, overturning a de-facto moratorium on renewable energy development. The decision allows clean energy developers to proceed with previously delayed wind projects.
Energy
The Trump administration has paid RWE $1.22 billion to cancel three offshore wind projects and shift focus to LNG, marking the fifth similar energy company payment. The deal represents continued opposition to renewable energy development.
Energy
Ørsted's Old 300 Storage project, a 500 MWh battery facility using Tesla systems, has reached commercial operations in Texas and is integrated with the ERCOT grid. The project is co-located with a 430 MW solar facility that began operations in 2024.
