Towards a multilevel modelling framework for coproducing feasible and equitable portfolios of land-based climate mitigation technologies Land-based mitigation technologies (LMTs) in the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use1 sector play a central role in climate-policy measures aimed at limiting warming to below 2 °C or even 1.5 °C. LMTs reduce emissions or enhance carbon removal by increasing the amount of carbon stored in vegetation and soils1,2,3,4, with examples ranging from emission-reducing practices, such as bioenergy crops5, fire management6 and peatland restoration7,8, to removal-focused approaches, such as afforestation, reforestation and conservation agriculture9. Global scenarios, however, often rely heavily on large-scale biomass production for bioenergy combined with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). While these deployments can be considered a viable route for achieving stringent 1.5 °C targets from a technological-economic standpoint10, they are criticised for their high land demand, competition with food production and biodiversity and uncertain technical and political feasibility11,12. Large-scale land-use shifts can disproportionately affect regions with weaker land rights, lower institutional capacity, or limited political influence, shifting burdens onto those least responsible for emissions13,14. Recognising these justice-related dimensions is essential for evaluating the realistic contribution of LMTs to mitigation pathways. Estimating realistic LMT contributions is crucial for informing climate policy across spatial and governance levels1. Local actors, such as farmers, often focus on immediate, context-specific...

To compete with China in space, the US must form more equitable commercial partnerships with African nations Space is a critical domain for US national security, and African nations will play a pivotal role in defining space competition between the United States and China. The United States is sorely underinvested in this area; China is not. But the United States can secure its interests in space through creative, modest investment across multiple sectors of African economies. US space access and cooperation in Africa was once comprehensive. Now it’s virtually nil. From 1980 to 1991, Somaliland was an alternate landing site for the NASA space shuttle. NASA and the US Air Force maintained telemetry, tracking, Earth station, and data networks across Eritrea, Kenya, Nigeria, Morocco, Gabon, and South Africa through the 1990s. However, through a series of state-backed investments and following a concerted, yearslong strategy, Beijing is gaining control over the entire value chain for critical minerals that are essential for space technologies. This places China in the driver’s seat on prices, timelines, and deployments of its space systems—and US and allied space systems—in the coming years. China’s space-economic diplomacy in Africa is doubly threatening to the United States: It provides China with sharper and nearer offensive capabilities, and it gives Beijing unmatched leverage over US and allied...

Scaling up enhanced rock weathering for equitable climate change mitigation Administrative dataset In this study, we included a total of 180 countries using the World Bank’s Global Administrative Divisions data49. This dataset classifies the world into seven regions: North America, Europe & Central Asia, East Asia & Pacific, Latin America & Caribbean, Middle East & North Africa, South Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa (Fig. S1a), as well as four income groups: low income, lower-middle income, upper-middle income, and high income (Fig. S1b). We also incorporated county-level administrative boundaries from the GADM database50, covering over 30,000 counties (Fig. S1c). CHAT dataset We used the Cross-country Historical Adoption Technology (CHAT) dataset51, an aggregation of country-level statistics sourced from national income accounts and various multilateral agencies. The CHAT dataset contains annual information on technology use for 161 countries from 1820 to 2003, encompassing 104 technologies across sectors, such as transportation, communication and IT, industrial, agricultural, and medical. Climate data We derived global annual mean temperature, cumulative precipitation, and cumulative evapotranspiration for the period 1980–2023 from the TerraClimate dataset52, which provides monthly climate and climatic water balance variables for global terrestrial surfaces at a 5-km spatial resolution. Specifically, annual mean temperature was calculated as the average of monthly minimum and maximum temperatures (from the ‘tmmn’...

Expert Explains | 'For AI's benefits, we need inclusivity, equitable access and sharing of capabilities' Next week, as world and corporate leaders arrive in India for the AI Impact Summit, there are some questions the country has to contend with — the dependence on importing compute, its ambitions to be the world’s data centre hub, and how to ensure that AI’s opportunities are enough to offset its known risks. Katharina Frey, Executive Director of the International Computation and AI Network (ICAIN), which is based at ETH Zurich, offers a roadmap on how countries such as India could chart the path ahead. Frey brings a strong track record in digital diplomacy, AI governance, and global partnerships. She was a career diplomat with the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs for 17 years and helped establish Switzerland’s Digital Foreign Policy Division and shaped its strategy on digital governance and cybersecurity. In this interview with Anil Sasi and Soumyarendra Barik, Frey speaks about how sharing global resources and building with transparency are among the key ways to ensure that AI benefits all, how India should look at expanding AI infrastructure sustainably, and how the world can collaborate on regulating AI. Access to computing resources is one of the most difficult parts for smaller companies trying to build in...

Finland's education system prioritizes student well-being over test scores. There are no national standardised tests, minimal homework, and shorter school days. Teachers are highly educated (master's level), trusted, and well-respected professionals. Finland treats teaching with societal esteem similar to how doctors are viewed. Photo of kids in a classroom

In Finland, charging fees for tuition is illegal, which means rich kids have to mix with normal kids. That means rich families had to make sure the schools their children attended were good, which in turn prompted the wealthy to invest in public education. Finland, take a bow.
