Dead Matter, Living Machines: Repurposing Crustaceans' Abdomen Exoskeleton for Bio‐Hybrid Robots
Crustacean exoskeletons, repurposed from food waste, are engineered into sustainable bending actuators combining biotic structure with synthetic control. The augmented exoskeletons achieve rapid and robust motion with lightweight body and can be used as part of robotic manipulators, grippers and swimmers.

From Symbolism to Action: Financing Wetland Protection in a Warming World
ABSTRACT February 2, World Wetlands Day, highlights the vital role of wetlands in biodiversity, climate regulation, food systems and human livelihoods. Although they cover a small fraction of Earth's surface, wetlands provide a disproportionate share of ecosystem services and mitigate climate change through carbon sequestration.

Abstract This systematic review examines strategies for docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) production by thraustochytrids, focusing on cultivation techniques, fermentation technologies, and carbon/nitrogen optimization to increase productivity. Among 169 eligible articles, the 100 most productive studies (0.7–10.3 g DHA L−1 per day) were analyzed. Quantitative

Imagining Climate and Environmental Transformation in the European Union
ABSTRACT The EU is clearly committed to its response to the climate and environmental crisis. Transformative policy solutions and targets have been set within the Union to restore 90% of degraded ecosystems and reach climate neutrality by 2050. The EU also remains one of the biggest donors of climate and environmental development aid.
