AMENDMENT PROPOSAL TO THE EU CLIMATE LAW The European Commission has recently proposed an amendment to the EU Climate Law setting a 2040 EU climate target: a 90% reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 levels. Originally adopted in 2021, the EU Climate Law established the goal of climate neutrality by 2050. It also set a legally binding target of a 55% reduction by 2030 , and required that the EU set a further intermediary target for 2040.

The event must be scientific and have a well-defined topic, commensurate with the stated aims of the EGU meetings programme within which it is to take place. The event must have an organising/scientific committee of international composition and stature. This committee must cover all aspects of the event topic in expert fashion and demonstrate diversity in gender, career stage, and geographic affiliation.

3 April 2020 At 3:30 pm on Monday 6 April, the European Geosciences Union ( EGU ) will offer a webinar about EGU 2020: Sharing Geoscience Online , the new series of virtual activities that will be held from 4-8 May in place of the physical General Assembly in Vienna. These activities will help foster scientific communication and research by enabling abstract authors to share presentation materials and participate in live text chat discussions throughout the week.

Our Geoscience Information for Teachers (GIFT) workshop will run virtually for the first time as part of the EGU General Assembly in a series of six half-day sessions between April 19 and 29, 2021. Each session starts with a short introduction, has two 30 minute and one 15 minute presentation, followed by an hour-long ‘hands on’ workshop, and a 45 minute-long ‘networking event’.

The EGU 2012 poster “Natural and Anthropogenic variations in methane sources over the last 2 millennia” presented high-resolution carbon isotope of methane data from Greenland ice cores over the last 2,000 years. Those data, together with atmospheric model results, allowed reconstructing how the different types of methane sources behaved in the past.

While participation numbers are not yet final, you are now 18,000 participants from 136 countries – a new record for the General Assembly! I am also proud of the 5000 waived registrations for this meeting, for scientists from lower- and middle-income countries as well as for undergraduate and MSc students, demonstrating the inclusiveness of an online meeting. Finally, there is a sense of anticipation. We hope to organise EGU22 with a significant in-person component in Vienna.

Crystele Leauthaud is currently finishing a PhD at the University of Montpellier 2 within the French Research Institute for Development in France and Kenya. Her research focuses on assessing the impacts of changing hydrological regimes on floodplain grasslands and subsequently on the societal benefits pastoralists obtain from them.The research presented at the EGU General Assembly 2012 focused on characterizing the hydrological processes of ecological importance in a data-scarce environment through a water system balance and the use of remote sensing techniques.
