Tropical forests are the natural champions of climate change mitigation. Even though they cover only 7-10% of the Earth’s total land surface they hold one of the world’s biggest terrestrial carbon stores and are home to over half of the planet’s species.

The Kyoto Protocol was one of the first major international treaties that focused on human caused climate change. Signed in 1997 by 192 countries, it came into effect in 2005 with a set of legal requirements for industrialised nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. One aspect of the Protocol is the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), which enables developed nations to reach their emissions targets by sponsoring emissions-reducing projects in the CDM countries - namely China, India, Brazil and most of Africa.

It is all around us. But most of the time, you can’t see it. And there is a good reason why scientists are currently focusing their research efforts on it.

Cities around the world are facing a myriad of pressures, including rapid urbanisation and urban sprawl. As a result, authorities are finding it increasingly difficult to manage scarce water resources, deliver water and sanitation services, and dispose of wastewater. At the same time, authorities must do their utmost to minimise the negative impact of such developments on the environment and urban populations.

If the world is to live within its environmental limits, the need to make the most sustainable use of its raw materials will become ever more vital. Increasingly, this will require us to focus on making maximum use of all the components of those raw materials, right down to the waste products. In today's world, everything has to be used.

Health-care products, cosmetics and infant formulas are just a few everyday products that use molecules derived from marine organisms. A ground-breaking EU project has discovered several new sources of these compounds and developed a new method of sustainably manufacturing them. The benefits for Europe, from major pharmaceuticals to regional development, could be immense.

The construction industry is highly energy intensive and leaves a significant environmental footprint both in terms of carbon emissions and raw material demand. An EU-funded research project was recently launched to address this issue, by investigating the possibility of using waste materials in concrete production. This, researchers believe, could lead to a greener and more sustainable building sector.

With the global population set on a rapidly rising path towards 9 billion, the challenge facing the world's food supply is clear to see.
Within that food supply, fresh produce plays a vital part. But just as demand is rising, so are serious safety concerns. Recent disease outbreaks and rapid alerts linked to fresh produce have clearly highlighted the threat.

An international team of researchers has discovered what gives ants the means to fight infestations by the zombie-ant fungus: a hyperparasitic fungus. The zombie-ant fungus attacks the ant's brain and forces it to die at a mass grave near the ant colony. There, the fungus spores erupt out of the ant's head. The study, presented in the journal PLoS ONE, was funded in part by the ANT FUNGI EP ('From ecology to mechanisms of the extended phenotype') project, which clinched a Marie Curie Action grant worth more than EUR 214 000 under the EU's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).

Notes:
To restrict search results to articles in the Information Centre, i.e. this site, use this search box rather than the one at the top of the page.

After searching, you can expand the results to include the whole Research and Innovation web site, or another section of it, or all Europa, afterwards without searching again.

Please note that new content may take a few days to be indexed by the search engine and therefore to appear in the results.

Print to PDF!

Now you can easily convert your own selection of articles into a single PDF file!

Simply click in the box alongside any article in a list or above the title on any article page to add to your collection.

When you have completed your shopping, click the Convert to PDF button near the top of the right-hand column to produce the file. But be careful, if you have selected a lot, this may take some time!

Once the file has been produced you can view it online or save it to your computer; and there are even bookmarks in the file to help you find the beginning of each article.
