Behind every “return hub” proposal are people, and Europe is now discussing sending thousands of them to Uganda. 🌎 Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Denmark and Greece are working on a plan to send people whose asylum claims have been rejected in the EU to a return centre in Uganda, potentially thousands of kilometres from the lives they have built in Europe. The proposal could affect up to 10,000 people and is moving forward outside the European Commission, with a key meeting planned for September. It raises a much bigger question: How far is Europe willing to go to move migration, and the people behind it, out of sight? Read the full story 👉 https://lnkd.in/eewd-UPQ Investigative. Influential.

Winter is coming and Europe’s gas tanks are unusually empty. ❄️ The EU is heading into its toughest winter for energy supplies since the 2022 crisis, with analysts now expecting gas prices to average close to €60/MWh, up from an earlier €45 forecast. Three things to watch: → Gas stocks are unusually low for this time of year. → Europe has cut consumption by 15–20%, providing some protection against another 2022-style crisis. → But one extended cold spell could still send prices soaring. Winter is coming. The question is: how expensive will it be? Read the full story 👉 https://lnkd.in/dD8KgyHf Investigative. Influential. Independent. Your EUobserver.

Europe is burning. So why do so many people still feel powerless to do anything about it? 🔥 In our opinion piece, Israel Butler argues that climate journalism too often reports the temperature records, wildfires and deaths, without explaining who caused the crisis, who benefits from delaying action, and what can actually be done about it. The result? People know climate change is happening, but increasingly feel it is too big to change. Research suggests the opposite: showing people the causes, responsibility and available solutions can replace fatalism with a sense of agency. Climate reporting shouldn't just tell us how bad things are. It should help us understand why and who has the power to change them.

Our Friday5 is here! This week in Europe, the contradictions are hard to miss. 🇩🇰 Denmark’s hardline migration politics are being held up as a model — but at what cost? 🇷🇺 Putin is turning his anti-Nato game of fear towards the UK. 🚢 Meanwhile, ships owned by Greek billionaires have carried €2.35bn worth of Russian Arctic gas to Europe this year alone. We also look at Europe’s anti-Muslim doublespeak and ask whether journalism needs to do more than simply report the climate crisis — and start naming those driving it. Five stories. One newsletter. A closer look at the forces shaping Europe right now. 📩 Read this week’s EUobserver newsletter 👇
