In letter to @ipcc.bsky.social, leading scientists, including #EASAC experts, urge the #IPCC to fix loopholes in its carbon-accounting rules.

They warn: splitting land-use and #energy accounting lets countries claim #CO2 cuts not reflected in real emissions.

⚠️ Southeast Europe’s #energy security is under pressure amid rising geopolitical tensions. New pipelines are not the answer, said @nduic.bsky.social, Co-Chair of the #EASAC Energy Panel at an IENE event at @europarl.europa.eu last week. Instead, he urged the region to unlock its renewable potential.

♀️ Marie Curie made history in 1903 as the first woman to win a #NobelPrize, sharing it with her husband Pierre for their work on radioactivity.

⚖️ Yet 123 years on, women account for under 7% of all Nobel laureates. Recent gains aside, structural change remains painfully slow. #FromPresenceToPower

🏢 Most #EU Member States failed to submit draft National Building Renovation Plans under the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive on time.

🔋 Buildings account for one third of EU energy use.

♻️ Several #EASAC reports highlight that #Decarbonisation is key for #ClimateAction and #EnergySecurity

👩‍🔬 Still, representation does not equate influence. Although women’s presence has increased in many organizations, this has not consistently translated into leadership roles, says the 2026 report “Towards gender equality in scientific organizations” by @iapartnership.bsky.social #IWD2026 #WomenInSTEM

This #IWD2026 we’re launching #FromPresenceToPower, a mini-series on #WomenInScience in cooperation with @iapartnership.bsky.social!

⚖️ Our first feature, #EASAC President Lise Øvreås reminds us that gender equality in science needs structural change so women can lead, influence and set the agenda.

♻️ The #CircularEconomy is not only essential for a habitable planet; it is also major business opportunity. Yet the EU remains far from its goal to double circularity by 2030.

🔗 As @envi.europarl.europa.eu debates #plastics circularity tomorrow, we reiterate EASAC’s advice: easac.eu/publications/details/update-on-the-easac-plastics-report-towards-a-plastics-treaty
