Scientists monitoring the ozone layer report that the hole above Antarctica has reduced to its smallest measured size since 2019. Thanks to favourable weather and lower ozone-depleting emissions, the drop could mean a healthier atmosphere and milder ultraviolet exposure for southern latitudes — good news for people and ecosystems alike.

Le trou d’ozone de l’Antarctique se réduit à son plus petit niveau depuis 2019

THE GUARDIAN

Les chercheurs observent que le trou d’ozone au-dessus de l’Antarctique a atteint sa plus faible étendue depuis 2019. Conditions météo favorables et baisse des émissions nocives contribuent à cette amélioration — un pas vers une atmosphère plus saine et moins d’exposition aux UV dans les latitudes sud.

A recent Carbon Brief study shows China’s carbon dioxide emissions have remained unchanged or declined for 18 straight months, thanks in part to a surge in solar (+240 GW) and wind (+61 GW) capacity and a 5% drop in transport emissions.

Scientists at TU Wien have developed a non-toxic “deep-eutectic” solvent that separates blended fabrics — like cotton-polyester mixes — within minutes. Cotton stays intact and polyester is recovered almost fully, offering a near-complete recycling method for textiles that were once nearly impossible to reclaim.

At COP30 in Belém, Brazil officially created ten new Indigenous territories, including some overlapping Amazon National Park. The move, issued via presidential decree, adds legal protection to lands of groups like the Munduruku and Guarani-Kaiowá during a summit marked by protests.

Researchers at the University of Cologne have discovered a powerful antibody — 04_A06 — that neutralizes around 98.5 % of over 300 tested HIV strains. In lab experiments the antibody reduced viral load to undetectable levels — a major step toward broad-spectrum therapies for prevention and treatment worldwide.
