Register to participate in next GPNM-INI webinar Series. "Challenges and Opportunities of Sustainable Nitrogen Management in Europe".

Europe has long been at the forefront of advancing scientific understanding and policy responses to nitrogen pollution and nutrient management challenges. Over recent decades, intensive agricultural production, industrial development, and urban expansion have substantially altered nitrogen flows across European landscapes and ecosystems. While nitrogen inputs have largely contributed to increased agricultural productivity and food security, they have also resulted in significant environmental impacts, including ammonia emissions, water pollution, biodiversity loss, and greenhouse gas emissions.
This webinar aims to situate Europe within the broader global nitrogen context by highlighting current policy perspectives, scientific developments, and innovation efforts aimed at improving nitrogen management. By bringing together experts from European
institutions, international initiatives, and research projects, the discussion will explore both the challenges and the emerging opportunities for advancing sustainable nitrogen management in Europe. ,

This season’s intense monsoon rains caused flooding that killed hundreds and displaced millions of people in Pakistan — an increasingly frequent occurrence. Scientists who study extreme weather warn that Pakistan is more vulnerable to climate change than any other nation.

A 2025 global assessment of recent extreme weather events sponsored by the German government found Pakistan, the world’s fifth most populous nation, more vulnerable to climate change than any other.
Pakistan, a country of 250 million people, is a case study in how vulnerable many of the world’s poorest people are to climate change that now seems unstoppable. But it is also set to be a case study in whether the world can come up with the right strategies to reduce their risks.

Thinking beyond relief

While short-term action is urgent, Pakistan must also think long-term. Floodplain management is essential—restricting construction in high-risk zones, restoring wetlands, and maintaining embankments. Investments in climate-smart agriculture—laser levelling, zero-till wheat, raised beds, and flood- or drought-tolerant varieties—are needed at scale. Soil fertility management must become a national priority, supported by policies that encourage organic amendments, crop rotations, and residue management.

Pakistan’s 2025 floods devastate Punjab and Sindh, submerging crops, endangering wheat sowing, and exposing the urgent need for climate resilience
