Four EU-funded nanosatellites, each smaller than a carry-on bag, entered low Earth orbit in May, making Greece the first country to operate a satellite constellation dedicated solely to wildfire detection. Thermal sensors identify fires as small as four metres across — far smaller than what conventional satellites can see — with AI processing the images and sending real-time alerts to firefighters every hour.

Ang mga thermal sensor nito ay nakaka-detect ng apoy na kasing liit ng apat na metro; sinusuri ng artificial intelligence ang mga larawan at nagpapadala ng real-time na alerto sa mga bumbero bawat oras, nang walang pahinto.

Africa warms at twice the global average, and excessive heat can bring health problems. A simple solution is showing great effect: a coat of heat-reflective white paint on a rooftop can lower indoor temperatures enough to protect sleep and reduce the risk of serious illness. A trial across four communities in South Africa and Ghana is already showing residents feeling cooler — with full health results on the way.

A food truck in the Netherlands is turning cigarette butts into currency, offering poffertjes, drinks and fruit in exchange for collected litter. Since launching in 2022, WasteBar has appeared at more than 50 events and gathered over 500,000 cigarette butts while encouraging people to see waste as something that can be removed, valued and discussed.

A study tracking 350,000 UK Biobank participants over 13 years found that five or more cups of coffee daily cut cirrhosis risk by 32%, liver cancer by 47%, and liver-related death by 42%. Published in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, the findings apply to decaf too, suggesting caffeine is not the key factor.

Kenya has become the first African country — and only the second globally — to receive technical assistance through the Santiago Network on Loss and Damage, a UN mechanism established in 2019. The $700,000 package will fund a ten-year assessment of economic and non-economic climate losses with projections extending to 2035.
