News and ideas from Central Europe
Environment
Heatwaves, solar power, recycling targets and fragile ecosystems: this section reports on the European environment and on climate stories from further afield, with a focus on what the data shows.

Recent articles explain why Europe’s circular economy goals depend on skills as well as recycling capacity, and how heatwaves highlighted solar output while nuclear and fossil plants faced disruption. Travel pieces cover natural parks, reserves and ways to move around the continent more sustainably.
Global stories complete the picture: Amazon fires that released more carbon than Germany, an underwater data center off Shanghai, a U.S. system that turns farm waste into stored carbon, and a rare albino fawn rescued in Texas. First-time readers should open the energy and recycling analysis before the global alerts.
