With recent record-high temperatures in Europe in mind, Ben Page introduces this month’s edition with reflections on whether the more urgent threat of inflation threatens to overshadow the global public’s concern about climate change.

We also look at the perception of traditional and non-traditional media across the EU and how technology will influence the future of music.
