Study in Europe

Around 604 extreme weather events were recorded worldwide in 2024, and many were described as unusual or unprecedented. The EU-funded XAIDA project set out to show how climate change shapes such events and how they can be better understood. Using machine learning and deep learning, the researchers found a worrying result: in many regions, heatwaves are increasing faster than climate models expected – and at the end, you can check how well you handle the heat yourself.

In Ethiopia, undernutrition persists while overweight and obesity are rising, especially among women in cities. For years the main response was nutrition education. The EU-supported TAMMIE project handed cameras to women themselves and combined their experiences with policy analysis. It found that money and time, rather than knowledge, stand in the way of healthy diets — and at the end you can check whether you see why this is a problem for the whole system.
