AGP Executive Report

Last update: 37 minutes ago

Heatwave Toll in Focus: Germany recorded about 5,120 heat-related deaths this year, with most fatalities in late June and the majority among people aged 75+, according to the Robert Koch Institute, as Western Europe also logged its hottest June on record. Netherlands Impact: Dutch authorities reported more than 4,700 excess deaths across the June 20–28 heatwave window, adding to mounting pressure for better heat protection and emergency planning. Climate Signal: EU Copernicus data point to a warming climate system that keeps accumulating heat, with Western Europe’s June average temperature at 20.74°C—well above the 1991–2020 baseline. Policy Fight: Sweden and other countries are pushing back against EU moves that could weaken flagship green rules, while the Netherlands is among signatories urging the EU to protect the ETS from being gutted. Local Environment & Materials: The Jan van Eyck Academie’s Future Materials Bank highlights growing use of alternatives like mycelium and algae to reduce reliance on conventional materials. Circular Packaging R&D: Portugal’s Embalagem do Futuro is a Sustainability Awards finalist for a bio-polymer coating for food-contact corrugated cardboard. Biodiversity Tech: A Dutch solar farm study reports richer habitat under floating panels, with researchers seeing potential for improved aquatic life support. Pollution & Enforcement: Dutch prosecutors have opened criminal action tied to Tata Steel pollution claims, keeping industrial emissions in the spotlight.
