A temporary overshoot of the 1.5°C Paris Agreement target is now highly likely. Annual average global temperatures have already exceeded 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for the first time.

This is not only a climate emergency. It is a security one.

As long as Europe depends on fossil fuel imports, it is exposed to price shocks, supply disruptions, and geopolitical pressure. In just 60 days of conflict in the Middle East, the EU's fossil fuel import bill rose by over €27 billion. That is not an energy statistic. It is a security cost.

Tony Agotha, the EU's Special Envoy for Climate and Environment, works at exactly this intersection. Getting back below 1.5°C is the goal. Reducing fossil fuel dependence makes Europe more secure in the process.

EU emissions are down more than 37% since 1990. GDP has grown by over 70%. In 2025, renewables generated more EU electricity than fossil fuels for the first time.

Every fraction of a degree avoided still matters.

Reliable. And that's the whole point.

RT @andrii_sybiha: This is not the first time Russian forces are putting Ukrainian nuclear facilities at risk. Russia’s nuclear blackmail and threats to nuclear safety are systemic, deliberate, and unacceptable. They deserve worldwide condemnation and increased pressure on the aggressor. @iaeaorg

🔴 BREAKING: Russian forces struck the Centralized Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage Facility in Kyiv region, damaging a container reception building and causing a fire.

No spent nuclear fuel was stored there, and radiation levels remain normal, according to Energoatom. https://t.co/EeYyg6QY42 - UNITED24 Media

As efforts continue to preserve the ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel, another @UNIFIL_ peacekeeper was killed on 4 June.

The killing of peacekeepers is a violation of international law and must be met with full accountability.
