European LIFE Program Showcases Green Infrastructure for Climate Resilience in Cities

The 12th World Green Infrastructure Congress, organized by the University of Lleida, highlighted practical and scalable solutions for greener cities through the European LIFE Programme.

The BIG4LIFE project, for instance, utilizes Building Integrated Greenery (BIG) systems such as green roofs and living façades to transform urban spaces and reduce temperatures.

Spain Faces Widespread Travel Disruptions Due to General Strike

Spain Faces Widespread Travel Disruptions Due to General Strike

Spain is experiencing significant travel disruptions due to a 24-hour general strike, the first in 14 years. The strike, which began on Wednesday, involves a walkout by the country's two largest train unions, as well as ground handlers, baggage personnel, and security staff at airports. This coordinated action is impacting high-speed rail, commuter trains, and major metro systems in cities like Madrid and Barcelona, which are operating on heavily reduced schedules. Air travel is also affected, with inevitable delays and localized cancellations despite the Spanish Ministry of Transport establishing minimum service percentages for air passengers. The strike addresses public concerns over the cost of living, a worsening housing crisis, and gentrification, themes that have fueled protests across Europe recently.
