Climate change is no longer a future threat, it's a present crisis. Bangkok's catastrophic floods and Britain's worst bluetongue outbreak both point to a world where extreme weather and disease are the new normal. Europe's response is shifting, but the costs are already mounting.
Two stark examples of climate change hitting home today: a city drowning and a disease spreading north.
Bangkok is overwhelmed by 300mm of rain, with 40 dead and all 50 districts under a state of emergency. Experts say these floods will become more common across Southeast Asia as the climate warms.
Britain's worst bluetongue outbreak on record has spread from Africa as far north as Aberdeenshire, linked directly to climate breakdown. Cases already exceed the previous three years combined.
As the bloc's climate approach enters a new era, its solar fleet is already delivering real savings.
The EU is entering a new phase in climate policy, driven by the tangible costs of a warming world rather than abstract targets. Expect a shift in how regulation and emissions cuts are designed.
Europe's solar fleet has avoided over €30 billion in gas imports since the Iran War began six months ago. Heatwaves and droughts boosted solar output while crippling other power sources.
A massive subsidy program aims to bring renewables to millions of households.
Thailand is committing 75 billion baht to help 1.5 million households install solar panels. It's the country's biggest green energy push yet, timed as Bangkok itself faces climate-driven floods.
