Young people are witnessing the impacts of plastic pollution and the solutions within reach. At the second part of #INC5 and on #YouthDay, they are voicing their support for a strong #PlasticsTreaty.

Sudden storms, floods and brutally hot summers are becoming Europe’s new reality. Our latest article explores how extreme weather is reshaping lives — and what can be done to adapt.

Cities are on the frontline of climate change. The Urban Heat Island effect makes built-up areas hotter, harming health, raising energy use and pollution. Tackling it is key to building climate-resilient, low-carbon cities in line with the FF55 plan.

July 2025 was the third-warmest July record globally, according to the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service, with temperatures averaging 1.25 °C above pre-industrial levels—a stark reminder of the urgency of climate action under Fit for 55. Learn more.

Giving items a second life—whether furniture, electronics or textiles—cuts emissions, saves resources and boosts local economies. Reuse and repurposing are key to advancing the EU’s Fit for 55 climate goals.

The EU is calling for a strong Global Plastics Treaty at INC-5.2 in Geneva — addressing the full lifecycle of plastics, phasing out the most harmful types, and promoting sustainable alternatives. Without action, plastic production could triple by 2060.

Water scarcity, pollution, and aging infrastructure challenge Europe’s future. The EU’s Water Resilience Strategy aims to rebuild the water cycle, modernize infrastructure, and ensure clean, affordable access for all.

How can space data make cities climate-ready? The European Commission’s Knowledge Centre on Earth Observation shows how Copernicus data supports urban climate adaptation — from heatwave mapping to flood risk assessment. Building resilience starts with better intelligence.

Sustainable building practices—from energy-efficient renovations to mass-timber construction—are essential for meeting the EU’s Fit for 55 goals. Let’s cut emissions, boost urban resilience, and build greener cities for a low-carbon future. Read more in our latest article.
