The new international initiative to strengthen global cooperation on carbon pricing builds on from the declaration endorsed by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen among other world leaders at COP30 in Belem, Brazil, in November 2025.  The Coalition will enhance the effectiveness, transparency and integrity of domestic carbon markets worldwide, supporting the delivery of the Paris Agreement. It […]

Violation Tracker, produced by the Corporate Research Project of Good Jobs First, is the first wide-ranging database on corporate misconduct. It covers banking, consumer protection, false claims, environmental, wage & hour, health, safety, employment discrimination, price-fixing, bribery and other cases resolved around the world. CSRHub has recently been allowed to redistribute information on the number […]

Guochun Shen and Jing Yang, East China Normal University in Shanghai, China, discuss their article: Shifts in above- and belowground trait dissimilarity under competition mediate the future impact of neighbors When we walk into a forest, it is easy to picture trees competing for light, water, and nutrients. Some seedlings race upwards and cast their […]

The latest LIFE publication, LIFE and the EU’s Competitiveness Agenda: Fostering innovation, strategic autonomy, and resilience for sustainable growth, showcases projects from across Europe that demonstrate how environmental and climate action can drive economic value. From circular economy solutions in Finland to zero-emission mobility in Italy, these projects illustrate how LIFE helps bring innovations to […]

Feixue Yu, Inner Mongolia University, discusses her article: Nitrogen addition weakens drought-driven coupling between plant, arthropod, and soil nematode functional groups The concurrent increase in drought and atmospheric nitrogen deposition has profoundly impacted multitrophic biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in grasslands. Nitrogen enrichment is frequently assumed to alleviate drought stress by stimulating plant growth, but this […]

We discovered that climate change could dramatically break the natural highways that connect coral reefs across the southwestern Pacific Ocean, but one location may survive as a critical refuge. Coral reefs don’t exist in isolation. When reefs are damaged by bleaching or storms, they recover through baby corals (larvae) that drift from healthy reefs on […]

Reliable habitat maps sit at the heart of biodiversity monitoring, natural capital accounting and nature recovery planning. Recent policy developments in the UK have made this even more important. The UK Land Use Framework highlights the need for a coherent national land-use evidence base and better integration of spatial data across sectors. However, producing consistent […]

EUROCONTROL, in partnership with the European Commission, has released the third version of the Non-CO₂ Aviation Effects Tracking System (NEATS), marking a significant milestone in the monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of aviation’s full climate impact. This now includes all required functionalities for the MRV. NEATS is a pioneering IT platform designed to support the […]

Rui Wang, Institute of Plant Protection of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, discusses their article: Asymmetric adaptation across a core–periphery climatic gradient drives rapid phenological evolution and range expansion in an invasive plant When we think about plant invasions, we often picture species spreading quickly, competing with native plants, and causing problems for ecosystems […]

Europe recorded widespread warm conditions with above-average temperatures across at least 95% of the continent, according to the 2025 European State of the Climate (ESOTC) report. The report, published today by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) and produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), shows Europe is the fastest-warming continent on […]
