AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoEnergy Emergency: Record-low Danube levels are forcing Central European governments into emergency mode, with Hungary shutting its only nuclear plant, Paks, for the first time in 44 years as cooling water runs short; the grid faces “most critical five days ahead,” while Romania has cut reactor output and Serbia has reduced hydro generation to protect supply. Climate & Water Crisis: Heatwaves and drought are also reshaping daily life and ecosystems, from wildfire risk across Europe to visible damage like drought-hit Regent’s Park in the UK, while governments warn of longer, harsher summers. EU Resilience Under Pressure: The same summer is testing the bloc on two fronts—energy strain from shrinking rivers and a migration surge at the EU’s southern border—prompting calls to preserve Schengen and coordinate action with Frontex and Morocco. Economy & Transport: Low water is disrupting shipping and industrial activity, while EU road freight growth in 2025 stayed mostly domestic, with Poland remaining the biggest national market. Business & Travel: New routes and openings keep moving—STARLUX launches Prague–Taipei flights, and Martini opens its first Central European rooftop terrace in Prague.
