AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoRiver & Drought Watch: The Rhine at Lobith hit a new record low for the Dutch border (6.47m above NAP), with discharge down to 692 m³/s, disrupting inland shipping and raising pressure on water management as drought dries up alpine and glacier feeds. Wildfire Risk: A new study warns southern Europe is getting “more flammable” as extreme fire-weather days have more than doubled since 1981, with climate change driving hotter, drier, windier conditions that spread faster even when total fire counts fall. Water & Climate Science: Boreal forest canopies are shown to shade permafrost so effectively that summer thaw stays about one metre shallower, helping lock away vast carbon stores underground. Policy & Governance: Dutch government and water boards are holding an emergency meeting over falling water levels, as the drought’s impacts ripple into transport and ecosystems. Local Environment Tech: Rotterdam’s port logged its first bio-ethanol bunkering move, signaling a shift toward cleaner fuels even as water constraints bite.
