The EU is one of the world’s most fossil-import-dependent economies. In 2023, imports met 58% of its energy demand -near pre-crisis levels - leaving consumers exposed to price shocks. That’s far above China (24%) & India (37%); only Japan (84%) & South Korea (80%) rely more.

Rare underwater find near Albany, WA. UWA divers recorded Braun’s wrasse, a tiny, cryptic reef fish seen fewer than 10 times worldwide. Not confirmed locally since 2009. After recent marine heatwaves, its survival matters. A strong case for long term Great Southern Reef monitoring.

Companies like UK-based Drax have marketed wood pellets as a climate-friendly substitute for coal, despite mounting evidence that burning pellets releases more pollution and increases deforestation.
