    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
