Iran’s parliament approved a measure to close the vital global trade route, through which more than a fifth of the world’s oil supply passes through daily

Et si on avait enfin trouvé une sortie ? Dans un monde épuisé par les inégalités, la surconsommation et l’impasse écologique, une économiste britannique propose une idée simple… mais radicale. Kate Raworth ne parle pas de croissance, ni de PIB. Elle parle de limites. De plancher social. De plafond écologique. Et de remettre l’économie au service du vivant. Son “modèle du donut” pourrait bien faire vaciller les fondements du capitalisme tel qu’on le connaît. Et si c’était l’idée qui va tout faire basculer ?

Capturés lors de l’offensive dans la région de Koursk, lancée le 6 août, de jeunes conscrits ont relaté à ce journal britannique la fuite de leurs commandants et confié leur surprise d’être toujours en vie. Tous s’attendent désormais à retourner en Russie dans le cadre d’un échange de prisonniers.

Rijke landen reduceren geleidelijk hun CO²-uitstoot, maar dat is bij lange na niet genoeg om klimaatrampen te stoppen, zoals de hittegolven, extreme regenval en bosbranden die de planeet deze zomer teisterden. De staat moet drastische maatregelen nemen om onze economieën snel CO²-neutraal te maken.

Dans les extrêmes planétaires, il n'y a pas de nouvelle normalité. Seulement une perturbation exponentielle. Tim Sahay et Kate Mackenzie signent la pièce de doctrine pour comprendre l’été renversé.

State Farm will almost entirely stop issuing new policies in California – with climate-exacerbated wildfires and bad public policy a large reason why

Several climate court cases have been stuck in legal limbo for years. Now they're about to get a lot more interesting.

Door dit warmere weerpatroon komt de aarde volgend jaar misschien in een nooit eerder geziene situatie terecht.

New research shows the company’s scientists were as “skillful” as independent experts in predicting how the burning of fossil fuels would warm the planet and bring about climate change.

De flinke financiële klimaatkater van 2022

Investments of more than half a trillion euros will be needed to modernise Europe's energy grid this decade, if countries are to succeed in ramping up wind and solar power to break free from Russian gas, a draft EU document showed. The European Commission is set to publish next week a plan to "digitalise" Europe's energy system, as well as laying out new emergency measures to tame sky-high gas prices and help cash-strapped energy firms this winter. The draft plan, seen by Reuters, said electricity grid investments of 584 billion euros are needed until 2030, to support the planned rapid uptake of electric vehicles, renewable energy and heat pumps, and shift away from fossil fuels. Of this, around 400 billion euros would target the distribution grid. Some 170 billion of that would focus on ditigalisation, including the so-called "smart grids" that respond faster to local supply and demand fluctuations, helping waste less energy and benefit from cheaper periods.

Germany’s Rhine, one of Europe’s key waterways, is just days away from being closed to commercial traffic because of very low levels caused by drought, authorities and industry have warned. Crucially, the impending crisis could lead energy companies to cut their output, one of the country’s biggest gas companies has said.

A coal-fired power plant that had been mothballed has become the first of its kind to be put back on to the network in Germany, as debate rages over how Europe’s largest economy will cope without Russian gas. The facility in Lower Saxony, which is owned by the Czech energy company EGH, has received emergency permission to run until April in an attempt to boost energy production.

Greenhouse gas has undergone rapid acceleration and scientists say it may be due to atmospheric changes
