Climate Risk Assessment Guide. Frank Bold.
Climate risk arises from the exposure of assets and activities to physical and transition impacts. The evaluation is organized into phases that include objectives, scope, scenarios, and time horizons. The analyses allow us to estimate financial impacts. Climate, policy, market, and value chain data are integrated into the process. The approach seeks to integrate climate […]
practical approaches to advance the management of climate- and nature-related risks. European Central Bank.
Financial institutions are increasingly incorporating climate and natural risks into their governance, strategy and risk management, strengthening the integration of physical and transition risks into banking supervision. Difficulties persist in measurement and quantification, while stress testing and scenario analysis help assess climate impacts. Good practices are identified to improve the resilience of the financial system.
Technical study on indirect emissions in the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). European Commission.
The inclusion of indirect emissions in the CBAM affects the electricity consumption incorporated in imported products. Calculation methods based on real data and stricter verification requirements appear. The possible expansion of the system opens the door to new sectors. The risks of carbon leakage and administrative burden condition its design. Technical and regulatory feasibility defines […]
Environmental cost of artificial intelligence: carbon, water and soil footprints. United Nations Institute for Water, Environment and Health (UNU-INWEH).
The expansion of artificial intelligence increases the demand for data centers, chips, cooling, and power grids. Energy consumption generates impacts on carbon, water and land use. The environmental footprint depends on the amount of electricity and its origin. The effects are spread across global infrastructures and everyday uses of AI models. The environmental impact is […]
EU Adaptation Mission Activity Report 2026. European Commission.
More than 400 regions and local authorities are participating in the EU Adaptation Mission. Strategies are developed to improve resilience to climate change at the regional and local levels. Projects are promoted in the face of risks such as heat waves, floods and droughts. Cooperation between European territories is expanded. The mission advances the integration […]
Response of the Sustainable Finance Platform to the consultation on climate and environmental delegated acts. European Commission.
The EU taxonomy’s climate and environmental delegated acts are revised to improve their coherence and applicability. The platform proposes adjustments in energy, transportation, construction and manufacturing. Integration with other sustainability regulations is gaining weight to avoid overlaps. Technical criteria are simplified and definitions are clarified. The taxonomy moves towards greater regulatory harmonization.
Status of implementation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. Institute for Global Environmental Studies (IGES).
Progress in the implementation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement on international cooperation in carbon markets is uneven among countries with different levels of regulatory readiness. Challenges remain in transparency, emissions accounting, and carbon credit traceability. The analysis focuses on environmental integrity and international cooperation.
Climate resilience in Europe 2025: progress and challenges. European Environment Agency (EEA).
Europe is warming twice as much as the global average, increasing the urgency of resilience. All EEA countries have adaptation policies, but progress is uneven. Gaps persist in risk assessment, financing and implementation of measures. Cross-border coordination is limited and reduces preparedness for climate impacts. Common methodologies and greater clarity in the management of responsibilities […]
Global Energy Investment 2026. International Energy Agency (IEA).
Global energy investment peaks in 2026, driven by security of supply and electrification. Investment in clean energy outpaces that of fossil fuels, with strong growth in renewables, grids and storage. The electricity demand of data centers and artificial intelligence reinforce investment in energy infrastructure. The trends reflect an uneven transition between regions and technologies.
Optimal pathways for a constant supply of biomethane and bioethanol in Europe. European Parliament.
Eurostat data shows that the EU’s energy system is still dominated by fossil fuels. Bioenergy accounts for around 60% of renewable energy consumption. This report aims to define the optimal pathways for the adoption of biomethane and bioethanol in Europe. To facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the topic, it provides technical definitions and explanations of […]
