With less than a month left of summer, Fluvanna County Flucos are soaking up as much sun as possible before returning back to school. Changes will be made like every other year, and especially for Fluvanna County Middle School (FMS), which will be welcoming a new assistant principal, Darren McCauley.
McCauley was previously at Fluvanna County High School (FCHS) and wore many hats during his time there; he taught business and marketing related classes as well as keyboard applications. On top of that, he was also the assistant athletic director and coached multiple sports. Even though McCauley will miss his students, he is looking forward to meeting the students at FMS.
The global energy transition is seen as an important response to the growing security challenge of climate change. Going low-carbon will alter the way we produce, what we trade, and with whom we exchange goods and services. It will also impact the security landscape: the pathways toward carbon neutrality will unleash political tensions between those with more and those with less ambition and lead to heated debate around how to get to the final destination. As the EU positions itself as a global climate leader through its European Green Deal, it needs to prepare for new types of external policy challenges and must retool its approach to climate security to meet those challenges. This will involve not just the mainstreaming of climate security into standard instruments of EU foreign policy but also questioning how the EU’s determination to be a global decarbonization leader will impact ecological security more broadly.
