1/3 🌍 The State of the Climate in Europe 2024 report is out—and the message is clear: Europe is warming fast.

Conseillère communale Nora Bednarski s’exprimant au Conseil communal d’Ixelles assise à côté du Cheffe de groupe Ecolo-Groen Aline Lacroix.

Hier au #ConseilCommunal #Ixelles #ParcBuchholtz : Il n’aura fallu qu’une dizaine de jours pour MR-PS-Engagés de renier ses promesses électorales de concertation. Avec cette décision arbitraire et opaque la nouvelle majorité imprime sa marque en matière de gouvernance www.youtube.com/live/wN5ZnKh...

Sous l’Arizona, Unia va devoir licencier du personnel La N-VA voulait s’en débarrasser ; Unia (l’ex-Centre pour l’égalité des chances) survivra, mais avec un financement fédéral réduit d’un quart. Pour son directeur, Patrick Charlier, l’emploi est menacé...

Notre pays fait face à une vague inédite de montée de la haine et du racisme. Fragiliser à ce point Unia, c'est aider à la propagation de ces discours. C'est un signal qui dit déjà beaucoup de choses www.lesoir.be/653191/artic...

#ConseilCommunal #Ixelles hier: j'ai interrogé sur le gros chantier dans l'îlot Washington-Hector Denis: un “je-m’en foutisme” choquant par l’entrepreneur. Des “briques volantes" avec dégâts sur façades. Il faut d’urgence plus grande vigilance par la Commune & des constats du non-respect des règles.

#Ixelles L'av. Legrand est en très mauvais état
C'est une voirie locale, partagée entre 3 communes, coincée entre deux voiries régionales et où la STIB est compétente pour l'espace entre les voies de tram. Bref, c'est compliqué, ridicule et ingérable
Ecolo propose une motion pour la régionaliser

Marché de l’immobilier : “Le PEB est devenu incontournable” L’importance du PEB, qui reflète la performance énergétique d’un logement, continue de croître sur le marché immobilier, ressort-il vendredi du baromètre annuel publié par le réseau d’agences immobili...

Signs of progress. According to a large Belgian property company energy performance ratings are a must-have for home buyers. The price gap between good and bad homes is growing and as it does ppl are likely to buy cheaper, less-efficient homes with a view to energy retrofits.

Trump, Musk and Zuckerberg have declared war on facts and truth. The pushback must start now | Emily Bell There is a narrow window. Public media and fair reporting must be supported: the rules must be upheld In early 2017, Mark Zuckerberg was on what might be termed an “apology tour” of the United States. In the tumultuous few months since Donald Trump won…

It looks like you’re in #Ixelles ❄️where the responsible échevin is Geoffroy Kensier. www.ixelles.be/site/8-Compo...

Graph titled '2024 was the warmest year on record and first above 1.5°C.' The subtitle is: "annual global temperature anomalies relative to pre-industrial levels (1850–1900)". The bars are color-coded from yellow to dark red, with warmer anomalies represented in red. The chart highlights a steady rise in temperatures since 1940, culminating in 2024 exceeding 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

2024 set a record as the warmest in history, with the average global temperatures 1.6°C above pre-industrial levels.

Multiple global records were broken, contributing to extreme events, including floods, heatwaves and wildfires.

The impact of human-caused climate change accelerates.

Défendre la voiture en ville… so 2025 ! A Ixelles, le premier échevin annonce avec enthousiasme la réouverture au trafic automobile de la jonction entre les deux étangs d’Ixelles... Pourtant, il n’y a vraiment pas de quoi se réjouir : les b...

La réouverture entre les deux étangs annoncée par la nouvelle majorité MR-PS à #Ixelles est « un retour en arrière insoutenable en matière de mobilité, de qualité de l’air, de sécurité routière et de meilleur partage de l’espace public ». Merci ARAU pour l’analyse.

Bruxelles : une étude recommande la fermeture définitive de plusieurs tunnels Une étude sur les tunnels bruxellois démontre que la fermeture de cinq d’entre eux d’ici 2030 permettrait d’économiser plusieurs dizaines de millions d’euros, sans avoir d’impact majeur sur la mobilit...

#bruxelles : 100 millions d'économies, pas d'incidence négative majeure sur le trafic.
Quand les gens critiquent les avancées de la majorité sortante en matière de mobilité, notamment le MR qui peine à former un nouveau gouvernement, les experts, eux, confirment qu'il faut continuer dans ce sens.

Vehicle height compounds dangers of speed for pedestrians New pedestrian injury risk curves calculated by IIHS show that vehicles with taller front ends begin to cause serious injuries at lower speeds.

New study from IIHS shows that car bloat is dangerous even at low speeds:

If hit by a sedan going 27 mph, a pedestrian has a 60% chance of a moderate+ injury and 30% chance of a serious one.

If it's a pickup going 27 mph, those odds rise to 83% and 63%, respectively.

A single market for trains Riding the rails across Europe is too much hassle.

A pre-breakfast culture clash on a German express train made me realise that cross-border rail travel in Europe isn't up to scratch. This week's essay. open.substack.com/pub/theleopa...

A screen grab of an article from Cambridge Cycle magazine on the topic of inclusive transport network design, and the importance of considering age, gender, access, and social equity.

Inclusive transport requires an empathetic approach; recognising users' varying needs dependent on age, gender, ability and income.

Planners often neglect these groups and outcomes—particularly in relation to the 'invisible' social, health and mental well-being.

“People with physical disabilities can’t cycle” There are cycles available for almost every type of disability – it’s actually an inclusive mode of transport that will often act as a mobility aid for people who find walking difficult, people who ca...

“Evidence from the Netherlands (and increasingly from the UK, where new infrastructure has been built) shows that high quality cycling infrastructure is often shared with wheelchairs, mobility scooters and other assistive modes of transport.” cyclingfallacies.com/en/6/people-...

The image depicts the Berlaymont building, the headquarters of the European Commission in Brussels, illuminated in vibrant orange. This striking display is part of the Orange the World campaign, a global initiative to raise awareness and call for an end to violence against women and girls.

🟠 Tonight, we shine in orange—for every woman silenced, for every girl living in fear.

We join #OrangeTheWorld to demand an end to violence against women and girls.

Let’s build a world where safety, equality, and dignity are rights for all.
