From the January 2025 issue of Apollo. Preview and subscribe here. ‘It’s not finished,’ Jake Grewal tells me as I stand and stare at the massive triptych seascape leaning against the wall of his studio in Hackney. ‘It was incredibly saturated a couple of days ago, so I’ve knocked quite a lot of it back.’ Made up of three large canvases arranged next to each other, the work is bright and joyous: a great swash of pristine blue sky, earthy rocks underneath and three figures clambering around them.

Trump’s comeback and its implications for EU climate and energy policy

Nov 7, 2024 | bruegel.org | Michael Delgado |Yeric Garcia |Hannah Hess |Marie Jugé

The return of President Trump is set to profoundly reshape US climate and energy policy, with far-reaching repercussions internationally. The European Union’s strategy for dealing with these repercussions should have three underpinnings: global climate action, energy policy and competitiveness, and clean-tech investment and trade. Fortunately for the EU, this approach largely coincides with its own strategic interests.
Clean and fair: maximising the impact of the European Union’s Social Climate Fund

Oct 30, 2024 | bruegel.org | Michael Delgado |Yeric Garcia |Hannah Hess |Marie Jugé

Over the last five years, one of the mantras of the European Green Deal has been that the climate transition should be just, or it will not happen. This is true. Decarbonisation will affect households differently: increasingly tight climate regulations will be a heavy burden for low-income and even middle-income households, for which renovating a property or buying an electric car could require investment of about a year’s income.

Sep 4, 2024 | bruegel.org | Giovanni Sgaravatti |Simone Tagliapietra |Michael Delgado |Yeric Garcia

The European Union has set ambitious climate targets and, to reach them, has rolled-out a wave of legislation. But despite this momentum, the pace of decarbonisation has not been fast enough. Your overriding challenge for the next five years is to accelerate EU decarbonisation in sectors such as buildings and transport, while addressing the social impacts of climate policy.
