Dear ala kot,
This summer in Europe was marked by prolonged periods of high temperatures. While the abundant sunshine may have been nice during your holidays, the extreme heat also had significant economic consequences. Triodos Bank's economists explored these impacts in detail, as you can read in this newsletter.
Additionally, you will find insights on recent advancements in wind turbine blade recycling, as well as trends showing that institutional investors are expanding their allocations to impact-driven investments.
Kind regards,
Dick van Ommeren
Chair of the Management Board

The record heat and prolonged drought that hit Europe recently, could reduce EU GDP by around 1% in 2026 and would effectively erase the growth previously forecasted for the year. “Climate change is not a distant economic risk. The extreme heat we all experience today shows concretely how it already affects lives, workers and prosperity across Europe,” says Hans Stegeman, chief economist at Triodos Bank.

While most components of wind turbines can be recycled, turbine blades have long posed a challenge – until now. At the Willem-Annapolder wind farm, old blades are being repurposed into building materials instead of ending up in landfill or incineration.
