Lower fossil fuel demand doesn't just cut emissions. It can also reduce EU's exposure to energy shocks. Our bulletin finds that spending on imported fossil fuels during the recent Strait of Hormuz crisis was 24% lower than during the 2022 energy crisis due to a reduction in fossil fuel demand.

Europe has a plan for clean industry. But it’s not yet working. ECNO’s new Clean Industrial Transition Monitor shows where progress is real and where it is still falling short. 🔗https://climateobservatory.eu/report/clean-industrial-transition-monitor

Delays, weak implementation, and low ambition in national plans are slowing EU climate governance. Clear targets, robust planning, and citizen engagement are key to fair, effective action of the transition towards a climate neutral economy. Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-...

One week to go until we can present the latest #ECNO analysis on the state of the clean industrial transition Authors: @ecologic.eu, @ireform.bsky.social, @i4ce.bsky.social, @newclimate.bsky.social Looking forward to discussing results with fellow experts - join us Tuesday 24 March 14:00 CET 👇

Is the Clean Industrial Deal delivering in practice? ECNO launches the Clean Industrial Transition Monitor on 24 March 2026, tracking investment, infrastructure, skills and markets across the industrial value chain. 14:00–15:30 CET | Online Register: www.forms.ecologic.eu/ecno-cid

New analysis by our colleagues @matthiasduwe.bsky.social and @nickwevans.bsky.social. 👉 www.ecologic.eu/20251 The EU can simplify clean transition planning and reporting and enhance implementation. Eight practical options to integrate, align or merge processes (NECPs, LTSs, progress reports).

That trend line really looks dramatically stable... considering the importance of electrification for the clean industrial transition. A speed boost is needed, argue our colleagues from @ireform.bsky.social in a new blog post, in anticipation of the Commission's much anticipated accelerator(s) 👇

We are LIVE: the 2025 edition of the comprehensive assessment report by @ecno-climate.bsky.social is now online - on the interactive website and in download form. 📋📊💹 🎬Event later today - stay tuned (recording will be posted soon after) 🍿 climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-... #enablingconditions

Join us for the presentation of the 2025 edition of ECNO’s assessment of progress towards climate neutrality! 150 indicators over 13 building blocks lead to 8 action areas identified for 3 EU policy goals: 🏭 competitiveness 🔋 resilience 💶 fairness Register 👇 climateobservatory.eu/launch-event...

How much progress is the EU really making on the road to climate neutrality – and where is it falling short? On 3 September, ECNO will launch its 2025 Flagship Report, tracking progress across the EU and highlighting where action is needed. Register now: climateobservatory.eu/launch-event...

Billions of € squandered every year in wasted produce while farmers are pressured to sell at the lowest price. EU policy could provide incentives for more sustainable practices and food waste reduction- including through changes in the #CAP (proposal for the #MFF expected 16/07). New briefing 👇

European Climate Neutrality Observatory (ECNO)@ecno-climate.bsky.social · last yr.

Reducing food waste can help reduce emissions, build stronger supply chains, and lower the need for imports. Read our briefing to get the full story: climateobservatory.eu/briefing-tow... (3/3)

New #ECNO briefing out with a focus on the transition in the agrifood sector, based on updated data used in our upcoming whole-economy progress report. Experts from @newclimate.bsky.social zoom in on #foodwaste cuts and sustainable protein as means of improving climate and livelihoods. Details 👇

Our analysis reveals key challenges: 📌 Waste from consumers and manufacturers is rising despite existing commitments 📌 Fragmented policies and data gaps are holding back progress 📌 37M+ EU citizens struggle to afford a quality meal, while the EU wastes as much food as it imports (2/3)

Food waste goes far beyond what’s tossed in the bin. It's a sign of deeper inefficiencies in EU food systems, with major climate, social, and economic impacts. New research from ECNO shows that food waste is a major barrier to the EU climate neutrality goals. 🧵 (1/3)

How should we understand ‘meaningful participation’ in EU climate governance? Ricarda Faber (@giz.de), Deyana Kocher & Matthias Duwe (@ecologic.eu) critically examine multilevel climate and energy dialogues under Article 11 of the Governance Regulation. Read the article: doi.org/10.1111/reel...

The #ESOTC2024 report is a reminder that Europe faces intensifying climate extremes. While impact data improves, one key gap remains: reliable, consistent data on climate adaptation. To close the adaptation gap, we need the tools to track our response. climate.copernicus.eu/ESOTC

The EU’s 2030 climate and energy goals are within reach, but stronger national plans are needed. ECNO’s updated briefing on 22 final updated NECPs highlights key opportunities for a climate neutral economy. See how the EU can turn ambition into action: climateobservatory.eu/delivering-2...

The new European State of the Climate report from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social offers a clear, data-rich snapshot of how climate change is reshaping Europe. At ECNO, we track how ready Europe is to respond. This context shows the need to close the adaptation gap is more urgent than ever.

More than art, a data story. The #ESOTC2024 cover art shows a mountainscape based on ERA5 data from 1975-2024, depicting annual and decadal temperature anomalies in Europe. Sun and clouds convey contrasting east-west climate conditions of 2024 in Europe. Full report: bit.ly/3G9MdEX
