The EU's post-2030 Renewable Energy Framework must prioritize transport electrification to reduce dependence on polluting fuel imports and address energy supply concerns. The policy should extend beyond simply increasing renewable energy's transport share to fundamentally rethink Europe's energy sovereignty strategy.
U.S. clean energy deployment reached record highs in H1 2026, with enough renewable capacity to power 83 million homes, according to the American Clean Power Association.
A federal judge granted California a preliminary injunction blocking EPA actions targeting four Clean Air Act preemption waivers. The court also denied EPA's motion to dismiss the case and ordered restoration of the status quo.
A new study identifies key tree species critical for Amazon forest restoration success. Without these successor species, regrowing forests risk collapse after pioneer trees die.
Cherokee youth secured legal rights for a waterway through an all-female effort in a historic U.S. legal proceeding. A tribal council unanimously passed a resolution protecting the waterway after young women presented traditional water ceremony.
A commentary challenges the narrative that massive mining expansion of critical minerals is necessary for the energy transition. The piece questions claims by major institutions that mineral production must increase 500% to achieve climate goals.
Bolivia's president signed an agreement to study a highway connecting San Ignacio de Velasco to Brazil's Mato Grosso state. The project threatens the Chiquitania dry forest ecosystem.
The Trump administration proposed rescinding the U.S. Roadless Rule, which could open national forests to road construction and logging. This threatens drinking water supplies for approximately 25 million Americans who depend on backcountry forest watersheds.
Tiger poachers and traffickers in Southeast Asia frequently escape prosecution despite arrests and seizures. A new report reveals fewer than half of cases result in penalties or convictions.
A new report finds that development bank-backed mineral projects for energy transition frequently carry significant environmental, social, and human rights risks. The analysis examined 77 projects approved between 2023 and 2025 globally.
Brazil's Petrobras and Mexico's Pemex announced a partnership that environmental groups warn will lock both nations into decades of fossil fuel production and increase risks to Gulf ecosystems and coastal communities.

A study reveals approximately 402-433 million farmers and farm workers experience unintentional acute pesticide poisoning annually, with 11,000 deaths yearly and India accounting for 60% of fatalities.
Communities globally are resisting new datacentre construction, citing concerns about energy drain and climate impacts. Governments promote datacentres as essential for AI development, while environmental campaigners and politicians push for stricter regulations.
Africa imported 18.2 GW of solar modules in 2025 while officially reporting only 4.5 GW of added capacity, suggesting significant rooftop solar installations ahead of official statistics. The discrepancy indicates a solar boom already underway on the continent despite incomplete data reporting.
Researchers developed a seed-crystal approach to create efficient perovskite solar cells reaching 23.51% efficiency without chemical stabilizers. The cells retained 99% performance after 3,000 hours of operation, advancing next-generation solar technology.
Korean researchers achieved a world-record 26.7% efficiency for a perovskite-CIGS tandem solar cell under 1 cm². The result was validated by Germany's Fraunhofer Institute and included in the US Department of Energy's efficiency chart.
South Australia's rooftop solar generated 99.9% of the state's electricity demand on winter's final day, significantly reducing dependence on grid-scale generation. This milestone demonstrates the rapid advancement of distributed renewable energy in Australia's evolving power system.
China's carbon emissions fell modestly in recent months as oil consumption declined sharply among consumers and industries. The trend could result in a full-year emissions decline if geopolitical turmoil continues to suppress oil and gas markets.
China's CO2 emissions decreased by 1% in Q2 2026 as oil consumption declined significantly. The reduction reflects shifting energy patterns in the world's largest emitter.
Patagonia joined a lawsuit against Trump's decision to reduce Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments by 90%, removing protections from nearly 3 million acres. The reduction opens sacred tribal lands to oil and gas development, citing critical minerals and national security.
Australia's new environmental protection agency approved a coal mine extension allowing the Saraji mine to operate until 2055, destroying threatened koala habitat. The decision contradicts climate commitments and has drawn criticism from environmental groups.
China's CO2 emissions fell 1% following geopolitical tensions, driven by reduced oil consumption and increased EV adoption. Analysts suggest this may signal a potential turning point in China's economic decarbonization.
