Cities are critical to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. New research shows that European cities tend to prioritize environmental and technical issues while their residents prefer issues linked to everyday needs. This is reported by D-BAUG researchers in the journal “Nature Sustainability”.
As atmospheric CO2?levels continue their steady climb, the ocean persistently takes up a quarter of our CO2?emissions, curtailing the pace of climate change. But the ocean does not soak up carbon uniformly. Researchers from ETH Zurich and the University of Exeter, Great Britain, released a new product that uses satellites to map the ocean carbon sink at an unprecedented resolution, offering unique insights into its highly variable nature.
