Thomas Cook unveils plastic phase-out for its airlines and hotels

In a globalised world, Europe is vulnerable to climate extremes and the effects of climate change. Tropical cyclones, droughts and melting ice sheets in other parts of the world directly or indirectly impact Europe. Our focus in RECEIPT is to map these connections and to build storylines showing the effect of climate change on society and the economy.
Do you know where your food is produced? How about your clothes, electronics, or car? Much of what we consume and buy comes from outside of Europe. Changes in other regions affect how Europe manages its coastal infrastructure and how European financial institutions operate global portfolios. International cooperation to address global needs and responsibilities will also be affected by climate change.
Objectives
RECEIPT aims to outline Europe’s vulnerability to remote climate events. We will achieve this by looking into climate risks outside Europe and their potential consequences for key European socio-economic sectors such as:
Agriculture
Finance
International development
Manufacturing chains
Coastal infrastructure
The project will:
reveal impacts of remote climate extremes on the European economy
map ways to identify and reduce vulnerabilities
inform about future business opportunities
Our news

Solar panels are the most common form of renewable energy for our homes and businesses, with an increasing number of structures electing to install them.  Additionally, we are witnessing a rise in the number of solar energy systems being built, all of which is terrific news for our world and the environment. However, it is critical to comprehend why solar panels are beneficial to the environment, a few of the negative impacts they may now cause, and address them.  Solar panels provide several environmental advantages owing to their green energy and absence of emissions when in use.  Generating electricity is only done at night. Individuals who do not have solar batteries will need to connect to the National Grid if they do not have enough energy to power their homes after dark. It is, however, lowering their reliance on the National Grid by a significant amount. This, in turn, makes it economically attractive.
