As part of #Ukrainability project together with @htenkanen.bsky.social, @ollejarv.bsky.social, and Tiina Rinne we study how people use cultural ecosystem services in Ukraine and how they perceive the quality of these experiences during the full-scale Russian invasion.

A study in Nature Communications shows that widely used global population data heavily underestimate rural populations. If not carefully considered, these errors could cause inequitable access to resources and services for rural communities around the globe. https://go.nature.com/4iDkyKr 🧪

🌍 Global population maps fail rural areas

Gridded population datasets systematically underestimate rural populations - by up to 84%.

This could impact policies on resources, healthcare, and disaster planning. Better rural census data is urgently needed.

Is the world population bigger than we thought? New research shows global population datasets massively underestimate rural populations—by 53% to 84%! This could mean too few resources for healthcare, infrastructure & disaster response in rural areas. Read more: www.aalto.fi/en/news/sign...

@htenkanen.bsky.social our @digigeolab.bsky.social alumni, currently at @aalto.fi is presenting his research on #LowCarbon #Mobility.

Take-aways:

#decarbonisation and changing #human behavior is extra challenging.

Still, most everyday car trips are 5 km or shorter, and change is possible.
