Check out the new research highlight from @esm2025.bsky.social on the impact of land management strategies 'Can we count on the land?'
What our multimodel analysis has shown:

🌴In tropical regions, planting trees tends to cool the climate;
❄️In high-latitude areas, new forests can darken snowy surfaces & cause local warming, despite their CO₂ removal potential

Tree planting isn’t a simple, one-size-fits-all fix overall!

Cities won’t stay livable by 2050 unless mitigation and adaptation become one strategy.

Flood risks, heatwaves, energy demand and mobility issues all interact. SECAPs rarely show the full picture. Without assessing how measures influence each other, good intentions can turn into bad outcomes.

Long-term monitoring tells a story of change. For 80 years scientists have monitored Windermere and nearby lakes in Cumbria, tracking how climate change and pollution are reshaping our freshwater ecosystems.

It’s one of the longest lake datasets anywhere in the world! 🌎

The 2024–2025 State of Wildfires report shows a paradox: less land burned, but record carbon released.

ECMWF scientists analysed what drove wildfire events and generated air-quality datasets.
