Tradable Mobility Credits for Travel in Europe

A study estimates the effects of Tradable Mobility Credits on Europe’s long-distance leisure travel, where emissions are capped by design and prices emerge from market equilibrium, resulting in a 20% demand reduction, air share dropping from 50% to 42%, and rail increasing from 23% to 32% under a 30% emission target. Emissions Challenge in Long-Distance

Willow Forests as Natural Flood Defenses

A trade-off framework shows how riparian willow forests can support flood protection while maintaining biodiversity in delta landscapes. This study examines how different willow forest management strategies influence both wave attenuation and ecological value. By combining field measurements, ecological indicators and modelling, the research evaluates how riparian forests can contribute to hybrid flood defence systems
