In its new policy paper on EU #water policy, the WBGU recommends taking up the EU water resilience strategy and supplementing it. Key is a #Climate-resilientWaterManagement that includes “green” water stored in the soil. An EU foreign policy on water would also be useful. www.wbgu.de/pp14_en

Opportunities in European water policy: Making the most of the EU Water Resilience Strategy

Europe is suffering from drought and flooding more and more frequently; the situation is also worsening in many places around the world. New strategies to combat the water emergency are therefore urge...

Im neuen Politikpapier „EU-Wasserpolitik im Aufbruch“ empfiehlt der WBGU, die EU-Wasserresilienzstrategie zu ergänzen: Zentral ist klimaresilientes Wassermanagement, das auch im Boden gespeichertes „grünes“ Wasser berücksichtigt. Sinnvoll wäre zudem eine EU-Wasseraußenpolitik. www.wbgu.de/pp14

EU-Wasserpolitik im Aufbruch: Die EU-Wasserresilienzstrategie als Chance nutzen

Europa leidet immer häufiger unter Trockenheit und Überflutungen, auch weltweit spitzt sich die Situation vielerorts zu. Neue Strategien gegen die Wassernotlage sind deshalb dringend gefragt.

How biodiverse you think a place is more important for psychological benefits, than the actual number of species there. But what info do we use when making our judgements about how biodiverse a place is?

New @nature.com study: the negative effect of human activities on wildlife biodiversity may be notable hundreds of kilometres away ⚠️

For the study, @ufz.de's and iDiv's @lottekorell.bsky.social recorded plant species and so-called dark diversity in the Lüneburg Heath.

Dark diversity reveals global impoverishment of natural vegetation

This is scary full-on McCarthyism - I can't see that co-operating with such a survey could possibly be beneficial. I think the European advice of boycott better than the Australian 'co-operate'. Have any blue-skyers received such a survey? Would be good to share here

Heute ist der 22. März (Weltwassertag) und in fast ganz Deutschland sind die oberen Bodenschichten ausgetrocknet.
