This week the most severe heat wave ever recorded in Europe made the business case for climate resilience impossible to ignore, so I have pulled together the ten stories that matter most for business leaders and sustainability professionals.

We cover the confirmed link between climate change and Europe's record heat, the UK's new mandatory deforestation due diligence rules and what they mean for food and beverage supply chains, the MPs' vote on a new 2040 climate target, and the water-positive milestones from Microsoft and Amazon that show where corporate reporting is heading next.

I also dig into what the AI boom means for sustainability: the courtroom fight over data centre emissions, a fresh bubble warning from the Bank for International Settlements, and how AI is reshaping the advertising and creator economy at Cannes Lions.
