Global warming, rising sea levels, extreme weather events – the impacts of climate change are already apparent despite ambitious efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Democratic Anthropocene Identification and analysis of promising technologies for carbon capture and use (CCU) Carbon can be used as a raw material in industrial processes, such as in the manufacture of building materials and chemicals. This project aims to assess the current status and further development of various CCU technologies and identify those that deserve support.

But how can smallholder farmers in developing countries be best supported in their efforts to manage their lands sustainably? The project Soil Protection and Rehabilitation for Food Security aimed to address this question. Ecological Safeguards for Deep Seabed Mining Global Soil Week This event drew attention to the poor state of soils around the world. A vital resource, soils underpin human and ecosystem health and are not renewable within human time frames. Soils form the basis for more than 95 per cent of all food produced worldwide and are an enormous source of biodiversity. Despite this, billions of tonnes of soil are lost to erosion or are sealed over every year. Famine and growing conflicts over land use are just some of the consequences. The Global Soil Week brought together policymakers and stakeholders from the private sector, science, and civil society to develop strategies and measures that support sustainable soil management. Arctic Ocean Ecosystems - Applied Technology, Biological Interactions and Consequences in an Era of Abrupt Climate Change (ArcticABC) Norderstedt City of the Future - Project phase I AGORA – Acting Together Now for Pro-poor Strategies against Soil and Land Degradation Swathes of valuable farming land are lost each year to the effects of land degradation, erosion, and soil salinity. Sixty-seven per cent of all arable land in Africa is currently endangered. What could be done to halt or even reverse this trend? What steps could be taken to improve the livelihoods of impoverished rural populations? These questions were the focus of the research project AGORA.
