Ultra-wealthy people zooming across the world on their private jets, lounging on yachts and conspicuous by their Instagrammable consumption are among the most easily identified individual culprits when it comes to the climate crisis – but new research argues that it is not just their heady lifestyles to blame, but also their bank accounts.
Through their ownership of companies and private financial and physical assets, from oil producers to property developments, the super-rich are responsible for an outsized slice of the greenhouse gases that are overheating the planet. The top 1% of people by wealth, through their shareholdings and investments, control about a quarter of global annual emissions in total.
Greenpeace has calculated the “climate debt” of these high net worth individuals, by attributing to them their share of the damage done to the climate by the assets they own. By this reckoning, the world’s richest cause nearly $1tn a year of damage to the climate.

European confidence in an American “security guarantee” has hit a historic low, a survey suggests, with only one in 10 people across 15 countries seeing the US as an ally and majorities in all doubting it would come to their aid if they were attacked.
The survey, published on Wednesday by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) thinktank before critical G7 and Nato summits in France and Turkey over the coming weeks, revealed “deep European distrust in the US”, the authors said.
It also showed that, while many Europeans felt relations with Washington would improve once Donald Trump leaves office, they were increasingly ready in the meantime to protect themselves against US unreliability by bolstering Europe’s defence.
The US president’s Middle East aggression, threats against Greenland, vows to withdraw troops from European bases and scepticism on the future of Nato had also prompted a growing European pragmatism, the report said.

This week, the U.S. House of Representatives acted contrary to the wishes of its leadership and President Donald Trump to pass legislation providing support for Ukraine.
And yesterday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy published an open letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin calling for a meeting between the two leaders and a full ceasefire during subsequent peace negotiations.
“We see that the United States is fully focused on the issue of Iran, and it would be wrong to simply wait until the war in Europe returns to the center of its attention. Ukraine proposes ending this war through direct engagement between us—and you.”
Zelenskyy’s letter and the new aid bill come at an inflection point in the war, not because Ukraine and Russia have stopped striking one another but because for the first time, as the Royal United Services Institute’s Jack Watling writes in the pages of Foreign Affairs, a ceasefire is “now a realistic possibility.”
On the ground, the front line—which spans nearly eight hundred miles—is largely frozen. But frozen lines do not necessarily make for a frozen conflict

Hopes for a diplomatic resolution to the war in Iran have stalled after tensions in the Gulf flared once again early Wednesday morning. Iranian strikes on Kuwait caused widespread damage, and an attack that hit Kuwait’s airport killed one person and wounded more than 60. Meanwhile the U.S. military carried out its own strikes near the Strait of Hormuz. In a new piece for The Atlantic, foreign policy scholar Robert Kagan argues that Iran’s leverage in the Strait leaves the U.S. with few options. Kagan joins Walter Isaacson in Amanpour (CNN) to explain why. June 4, 2026
