The latest environment news from around the globe and what is being done to tackle the most serious issues affecting humans and animals. We look at topics such as biodiversity, animal welfare, conservation, and the impact of climate change on the natural world.
Air pollution poses a significant environmental health risk, resulting in approximately 6.7 million premature deaths annually due to both ambient and household air pollution....
A new study published in Nature Water shows that restoring Europe’s wetlands could play an essential role in reducing nitrogen pollution in rivers, significantly improving water quality while having minimal impact on agriculture.
There is a need for systematic action to safeguard against flooding; here, Professor Günter Blöschl from the Vienna University of Technology, the University of...
Water pollution from environmental toxins poses a serious threat to global health, especially for vulnerable populations. Asal Shirazi BEM, Founder and CEO of the Autoimmune Support & Awareness Foundation UK, discusses the mechanisms of pollution and the health effects.
A landmark expedition sets sail today, August 15, 2025, from UiT, The Arctic University of Norway. The "Into The Blue" team will collect geological archives, revealing how the Arctic's past "warmer-than-present" conditions shed light on our future.
Climate KIC is taking steps in transforming how climate innovation is approached across Europe with the launch of its Inclusive Design for Climate Innovation: A Practitioner’s Guide.
The European Union is actively participating in renewed negotiations on a Global Plastics Treaty, taking place in Geneva, Switzerland, from August 5 to August 14.
The European Union is continuing its efforts to fight climate change and restore aquatic ecosystems with 30 projects that have officially signed grant agreements under the Horizon Europe Missions calls.
Forests have always been one of Europe’s most critical natural allies in the fight against climate change, covering about 40% of the European Union’s land and absorbing roughly 10% of the bloc’s greenhouse gas emissions from human activity between 1990 and 2022.
The European Commission has posted the new Roadmap towards Nature Credits, which will reward nature-positive actions while also boosting private investment in environmental restoration.

The first two lines are real astronomical images, which go from the galactic disk itself and down to the planet-forming disks. The last two lines are generated from numerical simulations and aim to understand and interpret the observations.
