AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoAviation & Carbon Policy: The EU and Iceland have agreed in principle to extend Iceland’s special EU ETS exemption for international flights by three years, keeping it in place until 2030, to protect competition for Keflavík transatlantic routes and to continue support for sustainable aviation fuel beyond the EEA. Heat & Weather: Iceland’s Met Office says a high-pressure system south of the country will keep conditions mostly steady into midweek, with warmer, drier east and intermittent rain in the west, and temperatures often above 20°C before the pattern shifts. Tourism Pressure in South Iceland: Warm, dry weather is driving a domestic travel surge, with Kirkjubæjarklaustur’s swimming pool briefly stopping entry when it hit capacity (about 900 visitors on Saturday) and campsites reporting demand levels not seen since the COVID travel boom. Wildfire Smoke Hazard: Smoke from Canadian wildfires is still choking parts of the US Mid-Atlantic, with very unhealthy air in Washington, D.C., and forecasts for thunderstorms later Saturday that could worsen conditions. Climate-Smart Cities: A new push for urban tree cover highlights how shade and leaf cooling can cut local air temperatures during heatwaves—an increasingly urgent lesson as summers intensify.
