Wow! Almost a 50% drop in greenhouse gas emissions in the EU energy sector over the last decade.

That's a huge leap forward, but we'll have to ramp up our investment in grids to continue this progress in the years ahead. ec.europa.eu/eurostat/en/...

Urban planner here: Jared Kushner's blueprint for Gaza's building is a car-dependent comedy of errors that would replicate the worst planning mistakes of the last 100 years, best avoided. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Dreary weather, but enjoyed my visit to Trinity today to meet with @marcuscollier.bsky.social and his students from the Masters in Smart and Sustainable Cities course.

Boy, what a building to study in.

Trump’s foreign policy is all about oil and intimidation. Europe’s answer must be energy autonomy built on cheap solar and wind power, energy efficiency, and a strong green industry. europeangreens.eu/news/davos-t...

A hard-hitting report on Ireland’s overcrowded prisons from Mark Kelly, Inspector of Prisons. Many are over-crowded with inhumane and degrading conditions. We need to focus less on incarceration, and more on conflict mediation and restorative justice. www.oip.ie/newly-publis...

Deeply concerning that the 'Motorists for Themselves - AUTO' party has been given the Foreign Affairs and Environment portfolios in Andrej Babiš's new Czech Government.
"The incoming Czech government led by oligarch Andrej Babiš is yet another example of how anti-green & anti-climate agenda operates in Central & Eastern Europe."

So a judge says "Cyclists have become a nightmare in Dublin?"

Actually cycling is much more of a nightmare rather than cyclists. We need to focus on making walking and cycling safer on our streets.

The Iranian regime has been particularly repressive to women - whose voices are being finally heard on the streets in recent days.

The European Union must act now with targeted sanctions.

Good to see #IranProtests on the streets of Dublin, the crowd chanting 'Down with the Dictator!'
