Climate scientists are ringing in the new year with alarming data: 2023 was the hottest year ever on record, and not by a slim margin.
A new report published by the Copernicus Climate Change Service, a component of the European Union’s climate change observation program, found that “2023 is confirmed as the warmest calendar year in global temperature data records going back to 1850.”

After nearly two weeks of controversy and contentious negotiations, nations at the Un’s 2023 global climate summit, COP28, have signed a historic agreement to “transition away” from fossil fuels and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
The agreement, signed by more than 200 nations, almost fell apart at the finish line. On Monday, oil-dependent nations removed language calling for a full “phase out” of fossil fuel energy resources from its draft, prompting international outrage. The European Union threatened to walk away from the agreement. France’s minister of energy transition, Agnes Pannier-Runacher called the proposed text “insufficient.

On the 30th anniversary of Creative Europe’s Media Programme, the European Commission in association with the advocacy group 50/50 is launching a big diversity and inclusion campaign aimed at ramping up the representation of women in the film and news media sector.
Dubbed CharactHer, the campaign was designed to foster inclusion, empower women and highlight inspiring female professionals from all across Europe working as directors, showrunners, cinematographers, key grip, stunt performers, music composers, VFX supervisors, colorists, journalists and in the video game industry. These are all fields where women are still widely outnumbered by men.
