The pressure to find sponsors to pay for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics is so high, that the organising committee struggles to take meaningful action on sustainability, people with internal knowledge told me. LA has no leading voice championing climate action like Paris had in Hidalgo, and it shows⬇️

Im Wahlkampf hatte die Union Robert Habeck regelmäßig als "schlechtesten Wirtschaftsminister" beschimpft. Ganz anders klingt Katherina Reiche bei der Amtsübergabe. "Wie Sie dieses Haus in bewegten Zeiten geführt haben", sei eine "fast übermenschliche Leistung", für die sie "höchsten Respekt" habe.

Friedrich Merz wants to revive Germany‘s ailing economy. The EU’s Green Deal couples this aim with emissions reduction. To lead Germany out of its slump keep European climate ambitions alive in the Trump era, Merz must resist far-right pressure - and get Europe‘s Conservatives on board

We've figured out why our Sierra Leone solar vid has so few views. YouTube shadow-banned it as political content. We only found out because, in desperation, we tried to promote it. Apparently saving babies' lives is political in the US today. We have appealed, but WTAF! youtube.com/watch?v=yMxJ...

PFAS are called "the worst pollution crisis of all time". The EU wants to severely restrict them. But the chemical industry is fighting the biggest fight it ever fought. We investigated with 50 journalists & looked at thousands of docs, filed almost 200 FOIA requests, talked to dozens of experts.

The Forever Pollution Project - Tracking PFAS across Europe

The Forever Pollution Project showed that nearly 23,000 sites all over Europe are contaminated by the “forever chemicals” PFAS.
