As heatwaves become more frequent and intense, cities need practical ways to keep streets, squares and neighbourhoods cooler and more liveable. The 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐀𝐝𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐞 present ca. 30 concrete measures to reduce the urban heat island effect. Check them at www.ecologic.eu/20588

How can EU pesticide risk assessments better reflect real-world exposure? A new SPRINT policy brief recommends assessing pesticide mixtures, cumulative exposure and vulnerable populations to strengthen protection for people and ecosystems. 👉 Read the full policy brief: www.ecologic.eu/20598

How does citizen science work in practice? 🌍 Find out in @reset.org new feature on our project "Plastic Pirates – Go Europe!" Students collect data on plastic pollution, contributing directly to scientific research 👇

RESET - Digital for Good🌎♻️☀️@reset.org · 2w ago

All participating partner countries of #PlasticPirates agreed on a standardised methodology for #data collection. This ensures that the data remains comparable. It’s possible to analyse it not only at a national level but also at a #European level 👇

Emissions trading is only as effective as its enforcement. A new UBA-commissioned report by Ecologic Institute experts Stephan Sina and Lina-Marie Dück examines ways to strengthen sanctions in the EU ETS, from better enforcement of regulations to regulatory reforms. 👉 www.ecologic.eu/20530

🚜 Regionale Bio-Produkte brauchen nicht nur Nachfrage – sondern auch funktionierende Logistik. Wie das in Brandenburg gelingen kann, diskutieren wir am 8. Juli in Oranienburg. 👉 Anmeldung: www.forms.ecologic.eu/de/MIG3-2026 📎 Programm: www.ecologic.eu/sites/defaul...

Marine ecosystems are facing multiple, interacting pressures. A new report commissioned by @umweltbundesamt.bsky.social explores how marine protection and climate adaptation can be better linked in the North and Baltic Seas to strengthen resilience. 👉https://www.ecologic.eu/20532

Mehr Hitzetage bedeuten auch mehr Sonnenschutz. Schätzungsweise 14.000 Tonnen Sonnenschutzmittel gelangen jedes Jahr in die Meere. Für bestimmte UV-Filter wurden Auswirkungen auf Algen, Meeressäuger und Korallen nachgewiesen. Ein oft übersehener Zusammenhang zwischen Klimaanpassung und Meeresschutz.

Ohne funktionierende Logistik keine regionale Bio-Vermarktung. Wie lassen sich #BioProdukte effizient bündeln, transportieren & verteilen? Welche Lösungen haben sich in #Brandenburg bewährt? Darüber sprechen wir beim Marktinfogespräch. 📅 8. Juli 2026 📍 Oranienburg www.forms.ecologic.eu/de/MIG3-2026

The first Quarterly Bulletin of the @ecno-climate.bsky.social Clean Industrial Transition Monitor looks at recent developments in fossil fuel dependence, energy prices and industrial policy. Two findings that stood out to us 👇

European Climate Neutrality Observatory (ECNO)@ecno-climate.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Lower fossil fuel demand doesn't just cut emissions. It can also reduce EU's exposure to energy shocks. Our bulletin finds that spending on imported fossil fuels during the recent Strait of Hormuz crisis was 24% lower than during the 2022 energy crisis due to a reduction in fossil fuel demand.

The challenge for ecosystem-based adaptation is no longer proving that it works. The challenge is scaling it. Our discussion paper explores pathways for scaling coastal EbA, from blended finance & blue carbon credits to governance approaches that support long-term resilience. 📖 tinyurl.com/56k2uxhd
