    Nuclear energy

    The European Parliament today failed spectacularly to adopt a resolution on nuclear energy, following a debate yesterday. The Greens criticised this as being blatant evidence of incapacity to respond to the nuclear desaster in Fukushima. After the vote, Greens/EFA co-president Rebecca Harms said: &...

    European Parliament in Strasbourg

    The European Parliament today adopted its calendars for 2012 and 2013, including a cross-parliamentary initiative to link two plenary sessions in October of each year, thereby reducing the amount of times the EP has to decamp to Strasbourg. Green MEPs welcomed the decision, which will save taxpayers...

    Climate roadmap

    Time for being eco-logical

    The impacts of 2°C warming are rather worse than previously thought. To have a chance to remain within the 2° temperature increase limit industrialised countries would need to be at 80% to 95% below 1990 levels by 2050. Looking at the 2050 trajectory is critical as it will be significantly more costly for the EU to 'catch up' to a 2°C com…

    Essay contest 'Women and climate change'

    At first glance, it might seem unintuitive to link climate change and gender issues. However, climate change and climate impacts are not gender neutral. Gender equality is a critical component of responses to climate change at all levels. That's why the Greens/EFA launch an essay contest on this crucial issue
