AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoClimate Pressure: Tens of thousands marched in Brussels, demanding an end to fossil-fuel subsidies and a fair transition. The protest came as the EU considers delaying methane reporting rules for fossil-fuel importers. Record Heat: September was the world’s second-warmest on record, at 1.63°C above pre-industrial levels; Europe saw its third-warmest September, while a strengthening El Niño has pushed Pacific temperatures to a record. Flood and Drought Readiness: Britain is launching a taskforce to prepare communities for extreme weather after a hot, dry summer and forecasts of wetter conditions this winter. Nature Restoration: Climate-driven hotter, drier summers threaten Scotland’s rainforest, already under pressure from air pollution and short-term funding. In Italy, a rice farmer has restored a third of her land to wetlands and woodland, bringing back native plants and wildlife. Cleaner Transport: Electric buses are spreading across European cities, but road transport still contributes about 14% of urban fine-particle pollution.
