Das internationale Cabo-Verde-Atmosphären-Observatorium (CVAO) wird weiter ausgebaut: Der Präsident der Republik Cabo Verde José Maria Neves und Bundespräsident Frank-Walter Steinmeier legten am Donnerstag den Grundstein für ein neues Laborgebäude auf São Vicente, einer der Kapverdischen Inseln vor Afrika. Das Max-Planck-Institut für Biogeochemie war am Aufbau der Station beteiligt und führt seitdem am CVAO Langzeitmessungen u.a. der Treibhausgase Methan, Kohlendioxid und Lachgas durch.
At the Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO), the research station of a joint German-Brazilian project in the Brazilian rainforest, scientists have been studying the ecosystems of the Amazon and their interactions with the atmosphere and climate for more than 10 years. Recently, representatives of the Brazilian Ministry of Research and foreign ambassadors visited the station.
Within the framework of the German-Brazilian joint project ATTO (Amazon Tall Tower Observatory) with its research station in the Brazilian rainforest, scientists for several years have gained valuable data and insights for climate and environmental research. For German partners, the Max Planck Society will continue to ensure the operation of the station and the research. In addition, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) will fund the project for another three years with around 5 million euros through ATTO+.

For a long time, the Montreal protocol has been taken as a success story on how to implement an international agreement on environmental sustainability. It was key to protect the Earth's ozone layer. Recently, however, researchers found out that chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) emissions have been increasing again.
Lange Zeit wurde das Montrealer Protokoll als Erfolgsbeispiel genannt, wie ein internationales Umweltabkommen umzusetzen ist. Es war der Meilenstein zum Schutz der Ozonschicht. Jedoch entdeckten vor Kurzem Forschende, dass die FCKW-Emissionen wieder zugenommen haben. Dieser Fall zeigt, wie wichtig unabhängiges Monitoring ist – auch für…
