Check out our new insect decline paper. By analysing 36 yrs of German ground beetle distribution data, we show:
- ~80% of species have declined, with significant declines for >50%.
- The decline was similar across species traits and threatened status.

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.
