New findings from the 2026 Europe Lancet Countdown Report 🪵Solid biomass for household heating contributed to +4% in air pollution-attributable deaths since 2000. Cleaner renewables are critical for air quality, energy security & health protection. 🔗 Read more: www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Wood and solid biomass is considered renewable but it is harming our health

Its usage is still too high, contributing heavily to air pollution

We need to prioritise clean energy, such as heat pumps and solar thermal collectors, in order to improve air quality, ensure energy security, and protect health.

Part of my @countdowneurope.bsky.social contribution w/ @shourodasgupta.bsky.social. Tracking temperature & labour supply over time in high exposure sectors (e.g. ag, construction). Higher temperatures associated with lower labour supply in Southern Europe. Yet more #climatechange implications.

Map of European countries showing southern European sub-national regions generally shades of red (lower labour supply, high exposure sectors) associated with higher temperatures, northern sub-national European regions generally shades of green (higher labour supply, high exposure sectors, associated with higher temperatures).

Figure with time on x axis (1995-2023), impact of higher temperatures on labour supply in high exposure sectors in Europe on y axis; mean is trending downwards over time, with increasingly wide confidence intervals over time, suggesting that for Europe as a whole, increasing temperatures are having a negative impact on overall labour supply in high exposure sectors, but high variability across the region
