Posted on How we detect and map biomass loss in tropical forests can play an important role in conservation efforts. However, unlike large-scale deforestation, small-scale disturbances are often difficult to pinpoint and quantify. New analysis, led by CMCC researcher Chiara Aquino, helps improve our ability to monitor selective logging and in the process understand and manage the health of these vital ecosystems.

Posted on Financing is a crucial element in the low-carbon transition as it facilitates energy availability, affordability, and equity at a global level. New research, led by CMCC scientists, uses novel empirically estimated cost of capital values to show just how impactful financing costs are in the development of renewable energy sources, particularly in the Global South. It is widely recognized that finance is one of the critical enablers of accelerating climate action.
