Last week, Cruise Port Rotterdam announced that onshore power supply, powered by wind and solar energy, will be available for cruise ships before the end of this year for cruise ships. Rotterdam is just one of many ports installing the infrastructure as ports work to meet the EU’s regulatory deadline to provide onshore power to ships by 2030. This technology, introduced by the cruise industry more than 20 years ago, can significantly reduce emissions by allowing ships to switch off engines and plug into an onshore power source to maintain onboard services. Today, about 50% of all cruise ships ...

Amidst the growing political divide that we are witnessing across the global West, leaders have failed to turn their attention effectively to the mounting danger of the climate crisis. Climate change poses a threat not only in Africa and the developing world more broadly but also worldwide, requiring immediate attention and substantial time and investment. Increased flooding, rising temperatures, extreme weather, and depleted resources are just a few of the dangers facing humanity, leading to some of the greatest migrations of people from country to country in human history. The UK itself face...

Izabela Sajbor, my sister-in-law, was just 30 years old when, at 22 weeks pregnant, she found herself in a hospital bed. Surrounded by doctors who refused to act due to the stringent abortion laws enacted under the far-right Law and Justice (PiS) government, Izabela died from septic shock 24 hours later, leaving behind a 9-year-old daughter and a grieving family. She is believed to be the first known victim of Poland's abortion ban. Izabela’s death sparked protests across Poland against the misogynist laws of the PiS government under the slogan “Not a single woman more”. The official investiga...

France's snap legislative elections on 30 June and 7 July attracted global attention, as many observers anxiously feared that the ascendant far-right party, National Rally, would achieve a majority in the French legislature — an occurrence without precedent in post-World War II France. National Rally (RN) ended up underperforming in polls, and a hastily-formed coalition of leftist parties allied with President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist party to secure a parliamentary majority. Yet despite the less-than-earth-shattering outcome, it was a historic election for another, less publicised reason. W...

The year is 2024, and AI is all around us. From Nvidia, an AI software company that has become America’s third-most valuable firm with its new AI chip, to advanced breast cancer screening, AI is seeping into all facets of modern life. This is an incredibly exciting time for humanity as we push the boundaries of what has already been done and explore where AI can take us next. But what is the next stage? Many experts believe there will be a tipping point, where we will create a "technological singularity". This is the moment when computers can outsmart humans, meaning there will be new opportun...

We are halfway through one of the biggest election years in history. In 2024, people in 50 countries will vote to decide which individuals will lead their country. EU member countries have also already voted in their representatives in the European Parliament. These leaders — both new and old — will be stepping into their roles at a particularly tumultuous time in history. Conflicts raging in Ukraine, Sudan, and the Middle East have the potential to expand and become even more devastating. The role of the international community of states in calming and managing conflict is more important than...

Los Juegos Olímpicos de 2024 acaban de empezar, y serán espectaculares. Junto con la belleza intemporal de la ciudad anfitriona, París, y la ambición de más de 10.000 atletas, sus organizadores pretenden establecer nuevos estándares de sostenibilidad, circularidad y reducción de residuos. En cuanto a la reducción de residuos alimentarios, esta ambición es al menos tan noble como la de los atletas que intentan batir récords este año. Cada año se desperdician mil millones de toneladas de alimentos. Sólo en los hogares se desperdician más de mil millones de comidas al día en un mundo en el que un...

Even before President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the race, the US presidential election on 5 November was the global political event of the year, casting its shadow far into Europe. The substantial differences between the candidates in content and style, and thus their impacts on Europe's security and prosperity, are indisputable. However, it is often overlooked that massive strategic changes in US politics are underway regardless of the election outcome. Or in other words, Donald Trump is less the driver of this change and more its symptom. Given this realisation, the need for Euro...

The 2024 Olympics are just beginning, and it will be spectacular. Along with the timeless beauty of the host city, Paris, and the ambition of more than 10,000 athletes, its organisers aim to set new standards for sustainability, circularity and waste reduction. For food waste reduction, that ambition is at least as noble as that of the athletes attempting to break records this year. One billion tonnes of food is wasted every year. Households alone waste more than one billion meals every day in a world where one in 10 people is affected by hunger. As someone who loves food and people, I find th...

Cyberspace, encompassing the internet and other connected digital technologies, offers tremendous benefits but also poses significant risks as a military domain. This necessitates the existence of increased cybersecurity and cyber diplomacy. The discussion and regulation of the militarisation of cyberspace have gained relevance due to greater uses in modern conflicts. The war in Ukraine is an example of an open military conflict also occurring in cyberspace. Historically, arms control has been vital in preventing military escalation. Yet, creating applicable and verifiable measures for cyber a...
