The Atlas of Migration 2025, developed by the Joint Research Centre, provides harmonised and validated migration data for 198 countries worldwide.In the 2025 edition the thematic chapter offers a systematic approach to understanding conflict displacement, examining how conflicts and local conditions drive people movements within or across borders. To support the development of a new digital Atlas of Migration, the JRC has launched a user survey inviting policymakers, analysts and experts to share feedback and help shape the future of migration data.
A new JRC project aims to support EU efforts to strengthen long-term care systems as Europe’s population ages. Longer lives do not always mean healthier years, increasing demand for care, particularly among older people. The work lays the foundations for a new EU-wide model to project future care needs, workforce requirements and impact on families, helping policymakers design sustainable long-term care systems that reflect changing health and household patterns.

Blue foods include thousands of species of aquatic plants and animals, many of them rich in protein and micronutrients. This vast diversity offers enormous potential. Sustainably harvested blue foods can help achieve the SDGs by alleviating hunger and malnutrition; improving health; reducing pressure on oceans, water, land and climate; and maintaining or creating decent livelihoods for hundreds of millions of people worldwide.

The increasing threat of soil degradation presents significant challenges to soil health, especially within agroecosystems that are vital for food security, climate regulation, and economic stability. This growing concern arises from intricate interactions between land use practices and climatic conditions, which, if not addressed, could jeopardize sustainable development and environmental resilience.
The article India’s agroecology programme, ‘Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF)’, delivers biodiversity and economic benefits without lowering yields published in Nature Ecology & Evolution.
Agroecology has been advocated as a promising approach in Africa to increase productivity, preserve natural resources, ensure economic viability and achieve social justice. However, supporting evidence has been so far limited to single case studies, while a more systematic analysis is lacking.
