Quick Glance: Europe Leads in Climate Change, Urgent Need for Renewable Energy
- Europe is the fastest-warming continent, with temperatures rising about twice as fast as the global average, according to a joint report by top climate monitoring organizations.
- The continent generated 43% of its electricity from renewables last year, surpassing fossil fuels for the second consecutive year, highlighting the need for targeted strategies to transition to renewable resources.
- Temperatures in Europe are now 2.3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, nearing the goals of the Paris climate accord to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, impacting human health with increased deaths related to extreme climate events.
- The report emphasizes the urgent need for action as heatwaves, wildfires, and other extreme weather events have led to significant economic losses and human casualties across the continent.

Quick Glance: Coffee Origins Revealed: Genome Study Uncovers Ethiopian Roots
- Researchers unlocked the genome of Arabica coffee species, tracing its origins to a natural mating over 600,000 years ago in Ethiopia.
- The study revealed Arabica's low genetic diversity and susceptibility to pests and diseases, limiting its cultivation locations.
- The findings could lead to new breeding approaches in coffee to develop varieties with enhanced resistance to diseases and climate changes.
- Arabica formed as a natural hybridization between parent species Coffea canephora and Coffea eugenioides, mainly used for global coffee production.

Quick Glance: Switzerland: Condemnation by ECHR Signifies 'Historic' Step
- For the first time, an international court has ruled on the harmful effects of climate change, establishing a direct link with quality of life, health, and well-being.
- The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) condemned Switzerland on April 9, 2024, for climate inaction, stating that the country had not taken sufficient measures to protect its citizens from the effects of climate disruption.
- Described as 'historic' by observers, the ruling is expected to set a precedent in the 46 member states of the Council of Europe, increasing pressure on governments to intensify their actions.
- The Senior Women for Climate Protection, who have been fighting since 2016 to prove that heatwaves exacerbate their health problems and that Swiss climate policy is 'insufficient' to contain global warming to 1.5°C, expressed great pride in the Court recognizing their fundamental rights to a healthy climate for the first time.
