Fairly sharing the effort in the EU’s Green Deal
Just today we’ve learned that the European Council agreed on a number of issues in the Fit for 55 Package; a proposal to reach the goal of reducing emissions by 55% compared to 1990 by the year 2030. We developed a tool to be used in negotiations and reflect on the fairness of the current proposal.
Distribution matters: Socioeconomic data distribution impacts future water scarcity
A global-scale study estimating the economically challenged and water-scarce population for the future showed the association of significant uncertainty due to the assumption of population distribution at the subgrid-scale, even though the future path taken by the society remains the same.
A century of column ozone monitoring: Uncovering the recovery
A new, long column ozone series helps better separating chemical and dynamical influences on the ozone layer. This shows that the recovery of the ozone layer, though not seen in mid-latitude observations, is underway but masked by changes in atmospheric dynamics.
