A team of scientists led by Leipzig University and the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) in collaboration with the University of Valencia and others have developed a new method to track the Earth's greenness - a key indicator of vegetation health and activity - by calculating its centre of mass.

A study led by the University of Valladolid (Uva) and the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), with the participation of the Desertification Research Center (CIDE), a joint center of the University o

The most effective climate policy is a combination of various measures, ranging from taxing carbon emissions above a certain threshold to the establishment of fiscal measures on fossil fuels, research and investment in renewable energies.
