Last update: 4 hours agoWaste & Circular Economy: Quercus says the Algarve’s planned waste incinerator is “anachronistic and unsuitable” as landfills near capacity (with ~400,000 tonnes/year and ~85% landfilled), arguing seasonal tourism makes the problem worse and calls for better waste prevention and charging households by what they produce. Air Quality & Health: The WMO warns wildfire smoke may be making phone “AQI” readings far too optimistic, with standard models undercounting wildfire-related deaths by up to 93% because they treat all PM2.5 as equally toxic. Wildlife Crime: Spain’s oldest orca, Toñi, was found with shotgun wounds and the suspected shooter could face fines up to €2m; investigators are also looking into a Spanish-flagged vessel reportedly firing in Portuguese waters. Energy Transition: Floating offshore wind is gaining momentum as a way to tap deeper waters for cleaner power, with Canada looking to build the rules and infrastructure to scale it. Portugal Policy Watch: TAP’s privatisation timetable has been extended to 31 Dec 2026 for final negotiations, with bids assessed on investment, fleet plans, sustainable aviation fuel and jobs.
