Cluj-Napoca in Romania

Handout photo dated on October 17, 2025 shows Cluj-Napoca in Romania. On 17 October 2025, one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites acquired this image of Cluj-Napoca, a major urban centre in north-western Romania. Surrounded by rolling hills and agricultural land, the city is noted for its dynamic growth and strategic role in regional development. Cluj-Napoca also received the label of the EU Mission for Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities in 2023. Cluj-Napoca is currently one of ten pilot cities selected for the Horizon Europe CLMS-Cities project, which combines satellite-based products from the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS) with additional environmental and urban data to improve modelling of urban-scale CO₂ emissions. These integrated datasets help local authorities in tracking changes and designing more effective climate strategies, thereby supporting the development of data-driven urban policies aligned with the European Green Deal.

Areas around New Zealand's southern and eastern offshore islands will likely become more suitable for these species, but the move will have a destabilizing effect on marine ecosystems. These changes will likely have a negative effect on tourism in areas such as New Zealand's Kaikoura, known for whale watching, as sightings become less frequent and less reliable, according to the research recently published in the international journal Ecological Indicators.
