The first heatwaves of the season reveal how ill-prepared governments across the continent are to protect people from increasingly dangerous temperatures• Don’t get This Is Europe delivered to your inbox? Sign up hereMeteorological summer has begun, ushered in with scorching heat that struck before spring was up. Although western Europe is now mostly free from last week’s heat dome – which shattered temperature records for May in the UK and Ireland – it is already bracing for yet another sweltering summer. Oppressive days, restless nights and furious fires are brewing. On Tuesday, the World Meteorological Organisation warned us all to prepare for the imminent return of the warming weather pattern El Niño.Scientists have not worked out how many people died during this latest bout of hot weather, but one environmental epidemiologist’s early modelling pegged it at 250 extra deaths in the UK alone on the weekend before temperatures peaked. The full death toll is likely to be particularly high because the heat struck before people had properly adjusted their behaviour to stay safe in the heat. Continue reading...
In the March quarter Australia’s economy grew 0.3%. But the real issue is what drove that growthFollow our Australia news live blog for latest updatesGet our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcastThe March GDP figures, not for the first time, showed that the focus on economic growth seems rather foolish when you place it within the context of the climate crisis. While the economy did grow in the first three months of this year, the big driver was investment in datacentres, which a new report on Wednesday revealed is greatly increasing the risk to the climate and Australia’s environment.You probably could do worse than say that the March GDP figures suggest Australia’s economic growth will “push up power prices, prolong the use of polluting coal power stations, increase gas generation, and derail the progress we are making towards our climate goals”.

As summers get hotter, investment and education are vital to ensure we all have access to the clean, safe water we needA local row about swimmers and swans in Hampstead Heath has now inspired a government reaction. Environment ministers over the weekend wrote to the City of London Corporation, which oversees the heath, to say that they were “deeply concerned” by footage of crowds of people in the water during last week’s heatwave.One viral video showed young revellers – who had defied a “no swimming” sign – in a wildlife pond, disturbing the nesting birds. It was picked up by the press, with headlines calling the swimmers “selfish”, “horrible” and “appalling”. Like many who saw it, I was saddened and shocked at the disregard for animals: people were clambering over nests, and trying to reach an island specially safeguarded for birds. Yet I also wondered what a polarised, emotive debate is going to achieve when, lurking behind the justified anger, is another question about our access to water.Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett is a Guardian columnistDo you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?

For the first time, the report presents TCL TECH's unified ESG strategic vision focused on using advanced technology to drive sustainable transformation and build an efficient, low-carbon future that is inclusive, resilient, connected, and grounded in transparent governance.
In addition, the report comprehensively addresses financially material issues through a four-pillar framework of governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets. To further solidify its commitment to ethical global operations, the company also launched the TCL TECH Global Code of Conduct.
Embedding Carbon Reduction Goals in Green Manufacturing
Driven by a comprehensive carbon reduction strategy, TCL TECH has further refined its 2030 framework for controlling absolute carbon emissions and emissions intensity. The company's sustainable footprint now includes 13 manufacturing facilities recognized as 'Green Factories' for meeting strict environmental standards. Validating this commitment against rigorous global benchmarks, 23 subsidiaries obtained ISO 50001 energy management system certification, 34 subsidiaries passed the ISO 14001 standard for environmental management systems, 33 products passed ISO 14067 carbon footprint verification, and 17 products obtained Evaluation Carbone Simplifiée (ECS) certification, demonstrating TCL TECH's green management capabilities across the product lifecycle.
Through rigorous energy management and resource recycling, total renewable energy consumption exceeded 3.77 million MWh in 2025, and the water recycling rate at production sites reached 97.29%. Notably, TCL CSOT—a global leader in advanced display technologies and a subsidiary of TCL TECH—achieved a cumulative photovoltaic installation capacity of 145 MW, generating approximately 155 million kWh annually.
Championing Inclusiveness, Diversity, and Philanthropy
Driven by a people-first philosophy, TCL TECH continues to cultivate a resilient and diverse workforce. The company was included in the Forbes World's Best Employers list for the third consecutive year, and female representation in mid- and senior-level management increased to 21.7%. Within its supply chain, TCL TECH ensures sustainable practices by integrating ESG requirements throughout the full-lifecycle management process, highlighted by TCL CSOT's membership of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) and a 100% response rate for supplier due diligence reporting.
Beyond its corporate operations, the TCL Charity Foundation directed RMB 59.71 million (US$ 8.3 million) toward community impact initiatives in 2025. Key initiatives include the "TCL Ecological Forest" in Sanjiangyuan, the "TCL Smart Classroom" promoting educational equity, and the "TCL Solar Low-Carbon Campus" project, which has now been implemented in 35 schools to support the revitalization of rural areas.
Accelerating Sustainable Innovation Through "AI for Real"
In 2025, TCL TECH adopted "AI for Real" as its core R&D strategy, fully integrating artificial intelligence across the R&D and manufacturing value chain. This innovation-driven momentum is underpinned by a transparent governance framework that builds a solid foundation through compliant operations and strict business ethics. As AI scales across the enterprise, TCL TECH ensures mission-critical data security and compliance through rigorous risk management and internal control mechanisms. By establishing a robust culture of integrity and governance that is strengthened by regular compliance training, multiple reporting channels, and strict accountability, the company fosters the transparency and trust required to support its strategic goals.
In the past year, this secure innovation environment resulted in 3,075 newly granted patents and IP rights and 109 innovative research projects. Notable breakthroughs include TCL CSOT's quasi-natural light spectrum display—the world's first to earn Quasi-Natural Light Spectrum EX certification—and the launch of the TCL Solar T5 Pro multi-slice high-density module, which leverages technological upgrades to deliver a step-change in energy efficiency and help accelerate the global green energy transition.
