The European Commission's CORDIS service has published a results brief on the PALOMA project, an EU-funded HORIZON research initiative studying how Amazonian plant species respond to climate change. The brief outlines findings from the project's investigation into the rainforest's vegetation, which plays a critical role in global carbon cycles. Interest centres on what the research reveals about the Amazon's resilience and its future as a carbon sink.

The European Commission's CORDIS research service has published a results briefing on the HRoN project, a Horizon-funded study investigating whether natural entities such as rivers, forests or ecosystems could be granted legal rights. The write-up outlines the project's examination of how such 'rights of nature' frameworks might work in law and what granting nature legal standing would mean for governance, environmental protection and courts.
