The design of your city can help make you healthier, study finds.

“A new study in Nature found when people moved from less walkable U.S. cities to more walkable ones, they increased their levels of physical activity and saw health benefits.”

❗Finland’s #forests have become a source of carbon, according to the preliminary inventory data from @luke.fi. The change is attributed to increased logging, rising emissions in #peatland forests and declining #carbon sink of mineral soils.

📊 Study 1: We built a nationwide open-source building dataset for all residential buildings in Germany — including size class, construction year, refurbishment state, and typology.

This kind of high-resolution data is a game changer for local energy planning.

Don't think I've seen anyone discuss this but the April 2nd tariffs might be the total end of solar panel imports for the time being. We're talking an average tariff rate in the mid-40s since most panels come from Southeast Asia—that's on top of the large preexisting tariffs from Biden.

The best thing about markets isn’t that they allow competition (important though that can be), it is that they allow people who have never met to cooperate in creating value. Tariffs are a tax on global cooperation —that’s why no country wins from them.

💻😞 Lonely workers more likely to cheat?

New research finds workplace loneliness fuels cheating by increasing emotional exhaustion – especially when no one’s watching.

Is this a hidden ethical risk of remote work?

Great piece by @abenewman.bsky.social and @himself.bsky.social on risks to US tech companies in Europe from trade war and the shortsightedness of American tech sector leadership
1. @abenewman.bsky.social and I have a new piece in @foreignaffairs.com on Big Tech's bad bargain with Trump - www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state... . Meta etc were settling in for a manageable - possibly even profitable - tech confrontation with China. They're getting one with Europe instead.

Trade policy uncertainty is at record highs. Trump’s “nobody knows anything” trade policy in chart form.

Hard to quantify what so much uncertainty is doing to the US and global economy - but it can’t be good.

How much foreign aid is spent domestically (rather than being spent overseas)?

That's the question @simonvanteutem.bsky.social and I look at in our latest article on Our World in Data: ourworldindata.org/foreign-aid-...
How much foreign aid is spent domestically rather than overseas?
In many countries, a significant share of aid is spent domestically on hosting refugees, offering student scholarships, and administrative costs.

Meanwhile, 29% oppose the idea and 25% are unsure.

When it comes to EU Member State non-papers, always look at the number of signatories. 20 is significant and very hard for the Commission to ignore. Deeper UK-EU security cooperation is on the way, and trade ties will follow.
