In 2025, global temperature hit the third highest on record.The 2023–2025 period was marked by extreme heat, devastating wildfires, and severe storms, all closely linked to rising greenhouse gas emissions.Other warning signs:🌍 Polar temperature anomalies, with a record high in Antarctica🌊

Greece: mountain and coastal communities adopt renewable energy solutions through COMPOSE An EU-supported initiative has helped municipalities in Crete develop and implement practical renewable energy solutions to reduce emissions and improve energy resilience.

Developed by the Technical University of Crete, the COMPOSE toolbox is a free, online platform designed to help municipalities with limited staff or resources plan and implement renewable energy solutions. #ClimateAction #EnergyTransition #LocalSolutions #CohesionPolicy eu.smh.re/0dR5

Greece: mountain and coastal communities adopt renewable energy solutions through COMPOSE An EU-supported initiative has helped municipalities in Crete develop and implement practical renewable energy solutions to reduce emissions and improve energy resilience.

A toolbox that helps communities turn climate ambition into actionFighting the climate crisis doesn’t always require complex technology — sometimes it starts with clear guidance.

The Package will not only enable the energy transition – it will also bring down prices. We fed into the development of the Package with a report on the interconnection needs of the European electricity system

Missing Maps – Putting the world’s vulnerable people on the map The Missing Maps project aims to capture unmapped areas in developing countries and to publish them on OpenStreetMap. This enables humanitatian organisations to provide emergency aid more quickly.

What does the EU do for you?

It gives access to things taken for granted: from a roof over our head to clean energy & transport. Without them, life would not be the same.

Close-up photo of a steel worker wearing a helmet and protective gear, with a glowing yellow background of molten metal. On his left is superimposed the text, "Competitive carbon-free EU steel and metals". The European Commission logo is visible in the top left corner.

Our Union is as strong as its steel.

We have put forward a plan to ensure our steel sector keeps its competitive edge, leads Europe in the clean transition, and ensures jobs for generations to come.

Here's how the Steel and Metals Action Plan will turn this into reality ↓

@ec.europa.eu published the Action Plan on #Steel and #Metals. #Steel industry needs support in the face of high energy costs, unfair global competition, and the cost of developing low-carbon steelmaking technologies.
Our Energy and Industry Geography Lab has provided input on the plan!

Plugged into Europe Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are fully independent from Russia's and Belarus's electricity systems.

Plugged into Europe! 🔌 The Baltics 🇪🇪 🇱🇻 🇱🇹 have disconnected from the Russian power grid and fully synchronised with the 🇪🇺 continental one, marking their energy independence. After two decades of preparation, it is now time to benefit from our common energy system. eu.smh.re/0YXt
