Fresh news coming from the EU Polar Task Force ❄️ They have just presented the new Copernicus Polar Roadmap, a strategic plan to improve Earth observation in the polar regions over the next years. The Arctic regions are warming at a rate about four times faster than the global average. The rapid change of ecosystems has implications for global security, energy supplies, and environmental sustainability. Copernicus' Earth observation technologies are essential for the development and implementation of policies to address these complex challenges. The new Roadmap sets recommendations on how to improve polar observation, in particular by creating a Polar Hub to ensure that EU satellites and other observation systems deliver tailor-made data for the Arctic and Antarctic regions.

The kick-off of the #PolicySupportFacility in Bulgaria is taking place now! The aim of this exercise is to support the country in reforming its fragmented public Research and Innovation (R&I) ecosystem 🚀 On the agenda: 🔹 Consolidating R&I actors and adapting their governance structures. 🔹 Encouraging mergers of Higher Education Institutes and research organisations to form larger, decentralised institutions. 🔹 Maximising the research output and societal impact of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. Stay tuned for more information 🔗 europa.eu/!4D7K9F Anna Panagopoulou, Magda De Carli, Lauritz Holm-Nielsen, Urban Krajcar, Göran Melin, Maria Nedeva, Indrek Reimand, Teodora Georgieva, Jiri Nantl, Toivo Räim, Vladimir Manolov, PhD, Maria Moskovko

The REALLOCATE project is on a mission to revolutionise urban mobility! This aligns with the ambition of EU’s #MissionCities: achieving climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030. A consortium led by University College Dublin is transforming streets into inclusive spaces for community life to flourish, thanks to EU funds: https://europa.eu/!9PY3vJ 🌟 The project's vision is for cities to transition from car-centric to human-centric environments, emphasising behavioural change alongside policy and infrastructure innovation. This involves nurturing a culture of walking, cycling, and using public transport — key to reducing emissions and enhancing urban liveability. 💡 With plans for green corridors, smart traffic controls, and safety measures around schools, REALLOCATE is not just about creating solutions; it's about co-creating them with the people who call these cities home. Citizen participation is pivotal, ensuring interventions resonate with the community and lead to sustainable change. 🤝 As pilot interventions commence in Barcelona, Budapest, and other cities, REALLOCATE is setting a precedent for how urban areas can adapt to ensure safety, accessibility, and sustainability for all residents.

Behavioral science meets design in fighting waste in the EU! 🎨🔍 The average European produces around 500 kg of household waste each year. This is more than half a kilo per day per citizen. However, the municipal solid waste management systems vary greatly across the continent. The EU is set to improve this. The EU waste policy aims to further reduce waste and in particular packaging waste. To do this, understanding citizen’s behaviour is crucial. So, experts from the Joint Research Centre and external partners are helping the EU in designing a harmonised waste sorting labelling system for waste sorting that works for the European Union as a whole.

Since 2022, the EU has been vigilant and proactive in addressing the #Mpox outbreak, also via research and innovation efforts. #EUfunded projects such as ID-CARE UNIVR have been focusing on increasing our knowledge of Mpox to allow effective strategies for patient management and treatment. A better understanding of the disease is a key pillar to prevent a global health crisis and strengthen Europe’s global preparedness for emerging infectious diseases.

The EU contains 1.3 million km of river habitat and over 100 000 km of coastline across five major maritime zones, from the Arctic to the subtropical region – overseas territories not included. Over the past decade, there has been a marked increase in research efforts to understand the ocean and #BlueCarbon sinks and explore their potential in climate mitigation frameworks. Blue carbon describes the way in which carbon is captured, stored and released through ecosystems in the ocean, coastlines, rivers and wetlands. Incorporating the management of blue carbon ecosystems into climate and biodiversity frameworks is essential to meeting Europe’s climate and biodiversity goals. Discover 15 #EUfunded research projects closing significant gaps in understanding, observing, modelling and predicting the natural blue carbon component of ecosystem services 👉 europa.eu/!HtrBXw
