Ozonloch über Antarktis schrumpft auf kleinsten Stand seit 2019

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.

UK sichert £75 m für ein schnelleres Ende von Tierversuchen

The British government has unveiled a new £75 million plan to phase out animal testing in medicine and agriculture — with a clear roadmap to stop regulatory tests on skin and eye irritation by 2026, phase out mouse testing for Botox by 2027 and reduce dog/primates studies by 2030. It backs organ-on-a-chip, AI and 3D tissue methods to accelerate humane, modern science and safeguard both health and welfare.

Wendepunkt in Sicht: globale Kohlenstoff-Emissionen könnten bald sinken

A major 2025 study finds that total global CO₂ emissions — boosted by fossil fuel use but moderated by shrinking land-use emissions — appear to be flattening. As more countries expand renewables and curb deforestation, humanity may be nearing a long-awaited emissions turning point, even if reductions have only just begun.

Flutfangende Basketballplätze vereinen Sport und Stadtentwässerung

A new design by Grain Collective turns basketball courts into smart flood-resilient spaces. With a sunken playing surface that channels excess stormwater into drainage zones, the courts double as temporary basins during heavy rain — combining recreation and climate-adapted infrastructure.
