We spoke with Alex Vermeulen, Director of the ICOS ERIC Carbon Portal, about the latest World Meteorological Organization report, the Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, for which Alex serves as editor. Published in October – in time to provide the latest data to the COP30 meeting – the report describes the largest year-on-year rise in CO₂ levels since records began in the 1950s. Alex shares his thoughts on
Much of the world's infrastructure is made of concrete, which presents a challenge when it cracks and needs repair. Traditional repair methods involve cutting away a large amount of material. Now researchers at Lund University are investigating an innovative solution: using fungi to mend concrete. This groundbreaking research got off the ground with a Sustainable Idea Exploration grant and support
