This report, commissioned by the German Federal Agency (UBA), provides a systematic analysis of this triple planetary crisis. It demonstrates why climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmental pollution cannot be understood and tackled in siloes, but instead share common drivers, feedback mechanisms, and cascading effects. The aim of the report is to close knowledge gaps and provide political and scientific actors with an integrated, holistic understanding.

This report highlights the persistent exclusion of commonly excluded stakeholders (CES) – such as marginalised communities, migrants, Indigenous peoples, youth, older adults, and those facing socio-economic vulnerabilities – from the co-creation of nature-based solutions (NbS). Inclusivity is shown to be essential for NbS to be legitimate, effective, and sustainable, yet CES often remain sidelined due to power asymmetries, structural disadvantages, rigid project cycles, and a lack of trust.

In this episode of the MERLIN Podcast, we take a tour of the MERLIN Academy, an online platform offering free training and resources to support freshwater restoration across Europe. The hosts speak with Academy coordinator Astrid Schmidt-Kloiber (BOKU), alongside module leaders Erica Zaja (UKCEH), Kerry Waylen (James Hutton Institute), and Ecologic Institute's Gerardo Andalzua, as well as Academy user Lars Kristian Selbekk. Together, they highlight the importance of sharing open-access knowledge and reflect on key themes such as nature-based solutions, financing and economics, stakeholder engagement, and governance.

This report, by Ecologic Institute and Öko-Institut, explores how emerging EU policy instruments – such as the proposed Agricultural Emissions Trading System (AgETS), Mandatory Climate Standards (MCS), and public procurement programmes – can integrate carbon farming while maintaining high environmental standards. The study highlights both the opportunities and the pitfalls of linking these policies to the Carbon Removals and Carbon Farming Regulation (CRCF) and its system of temporary certified carbon units – and investigates alternative approaches to promote carbon farming.
