Remote sensing is a cost-effective tool for indirectly assessing forest status. But it relies on indirect proxies that often have a coarse resolution. Satellite data from Sentinel-2 can help anticipate the drought-inducing effects of climate change, suggests this study.

If improperly managed, boil-off gas (the gas that evaporates from liquid natural gas) can compromise safety, waste resources and pollute the environment. This ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering paper provides insights to enhance the sustainability of boil-off gas management strategies.

Scrubbers effectively reduce sulphur emissions from ships, but their efficiency in capturing other potentially harmful gases is uncertain. This study in Environmental Research highlights the environmental and health impacts of marine fuels and wet scrubbers.

Invasive ants are among the alien species causing the greatest ecological, economic and health damage. This study, published in Biological Conservation, shows how policymakers can arrive at a framework of realistic action plans to manage this threat.

Artificial surfaces related to urban sprawl are a major driver of exotic plant invasions in Rome, this study from the Journal of Environmental Management shows, However, science-based green infrastructure could help stop the invasion process.

Level(s) and the European Climate Pact
The EU Level(s) framework for improving the sustainability performance of buildings has teamed up with the European Climate Pact to help built environment professionals connect, share knowledge and take action towards a climate-resilient future.

The EU Fit for 55 Package and the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, have underscored the role that the agriculture and forestry sectors will have in tackling climate change, protecting the environment and preserving or restoring biodiversity.

Guidance document on climate change impacts on the water cycle. Tools to help water managers align river basin management planning under the Water Framework Directive, the Floods Directive and to manage droughts through climate adaptation planning.
