Study shows that carbon and nitrogen losses from the soil persist for nearly a decade after burning, and conversion to agriculture causes even more severe impacts.
At the 4th FAPESP 2025 Conference, the former vice chair of the IPCC stated that the renewable energy sector is growing faster than the fossil fuel sector. She said she has not lost hope that the global average temperature increase can be limited to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels.
Researchers have found a substance in propolis from bees native to Brazil that kills 90% to 100% of Aedes aegypti larvae. The compound, found in pine sap, is likely enhanced by insect processing and has the potential to help combat mosquitoes that transmit arboviruses.
Over the course of three years, researchers from the University of São Paulo and their collaborators examined the “belief in a just world” of 659 São Paulo residents between the ages of 12 and 14. The results highlight the importance of incorporating urban and structural factors, such as access to services and community cohesion, into discussions on citizenship and democratic development.
