UN Calls for €17 Trillion Climate Investment; Drax to Develop Data Center by 2027

The UN Environment Program's report 'A Future We Choose' urges a global shift in climate investment to achieve a €17 trillion benefit by 2070. Drax plans to convert its Yorkshire coal power station into a data center by 2027 amidst scrutiny over its environmental practices.

In Germany, renewable energy is projected to account for 56% of electricity consumption in 2025, up from 55.1% in 2024. Meanwhile, the US Environmental Protection Agency has removed references to fossil fuels as a cause of global warming from its website, attributing climate change solely to natural causes. Additionally, the US government has seized a tanker off the coast of Venezuela, escalating tensions with the South American nation.
