AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoHeatwave hits Denmark and Europe hard: Denmark logged its warmest day on record at 36.6°C north of Odense, as the same extreme heat pushed Germany to a new national high of 41.5°C and damaged roads—bitumen splitting on the A2 motorway forced closures and diversions. Climate change link: Scientists say this kind of record heat would have been “virtually impossible” without human-made climate change, with night-time temperatures now far more likely. Family policy spotlight: A new study highlights how Denmark’s generous child care and parental leave help erase about 80% of the “motherhood penalty” for working moms. Refugee routes in the spotlight: Denmark’s approach is referenced in UK plans for “safe routes” for refugees, modeled on sponsorship schemes. Culture & food in Copenhagen: A guide rounds up Copenhagen’s best bites and bakeries, from cardamom buns to standout pastry stops. Social media rules trend: Australia’s tougher under-16 social media enforcement echoes a wider push across Europe to protect children online.
