There will be significant improvements to rail travel between Denmark and Central Europe: new DSB talgo train sets on the CPH-HH route and the ČD Railjet connection CPH-Prague. Too bad DSB won't offer good onward connections from Kolding to North Jutland, i.e. to DK's 2nd and 4th largest cities.

Lula discursa em um palanque, com a sua mão esquerda levantada e apontando com o dedo indicador. Sua boca está levemente aberta e a cabeça virada para seu lado esquerdo.

Lula discursa em um palanque, com a sua mão esquerda levantada e apontando com o dedo indicador. Sua boca está levemente aberta e a cabeça virada para seu lado esquerdo. Texto do card diz, em destaque amarelo: "chega!", seguido do título mais abaixo, na cor branca: "Lula não pode sair da França sem cobrar a Europa por sua omissão climática".

Com o mundo em contagem regressiva para a #COP30, a União Europeia ainda não apresentou sua nova Contribuição Nacionalmente Determinada (NDC) — o plano climático atualizado que deveria ter sido submetido até fevereiro.

O atraso não é técnico: é político. E é também moralmente inaceitável. 🧵

Thanks to a field trip grant from the Carlsberg Foundation I am carrying out archival research in Bogotá, and I can tell I have been enjoying my daily walk to work.

EU to blacklist just four countries under deforestation law - Euractiv One diplomat described the countries on the list – Belarus, North Korea, Myanmar, and Russia – as “The real baddies”.

Deforestation risk benchmarking under the EUDR soon to be linked to UN/EU sanctions. I guess we are seeing the geopoliticization of supply chain due dilligence.

Ringbahnbrücke der A100 wird wegen Riss komplett gesperrt Schon jetzt ist die A100 ein Nadelöhr - täglich fahren Tausende Autos über die Autobahnbrücke in der Nähe des Berliner Messegeländes. Wegen eines Risses war sie zuletzt nur einspurig befahrbar. Jetzt ...

Vielleicht wäre es cleverer gewesen, die Autobahn instand zu halten, statt sie zu verlängern, aber ist nur so ein Gefühl.
