Alpine Watershed Protection
GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel
Alpine glaciers are melting — and what they release flows all the way to the Baltic. GEOMAR's scientists are mapping the journey from mountaintop to seagrass meadow, tracking how microplastics travel through Europe's watersheds. The research doesn't just document decline. It prescribes the restoration.

Baltic Fish & Habitat Recovery
Pristine Alpine glaciers hide a secret: 20 tonnes of microplastics embedded in ancient ice, now washing into rivers that supply millions.
Klimahelden
Felix Finkbeiner was nine when he challenged the UN to plant a trillion trees. Today 12,000 youth climate ambassadors have planted 800,000 trees.
Moorschutz
Germany's peatlands emit 53 million tonnes a year. At Gnarrenburg, rewetting is turning degradation into carbon storage.
