From heatwaves to air pollution, children face rising health risks amid ecological crises, underlines review paper
The review identified multiple pathways through which biodiversity loss impacts children’s health, including the reduction of microbial diversity, diminished green spaces and increased vulnerability to heatwaves, flooding, vector-borne diseases and air pollution

While Montpellier may be the largest city to introduce free public transport it’s far from the first place in Europe to do so.
Tallinn in Estonia paved the way back in 2013. Since then, multiple other cities & towns have set up their own schemes, while two European countries got in on the act. Luxembourg made all public transport free in 2020, and Malta followed its lead in 2022

If you are feeling this way, take comfort in knowing that experts agree social change often comes from individual activism, which sets an example for others to observe, consider and possibly follow.
Collective action, another key mechanism of change-making, can also address the anxiety we feel, while producing impressive results in a way that individuals cannot

Climate change exacerbates impact of flow regulation for Australia’s rivers
New research led by UNSW Sydney’s Centre for Ecosystem Science has revealed the alarming extent of decline of streamflow in one of the continent’s longest rivers, the Murrumbidgee River in Australia’s Murray-Darling Basin.
Over the past three decades, the river has lost 55% of its water at the town of Hay, due to the building of dams and upstream water diversions for human activities
