US courts have ruled against platform providers for failing to protect children, and the debate over age restrictions for social media has gained momentum. An international group of experts from academia, children’s rights organizations and non-profit institutions is convinced that bans would be the wrong approach. In the journal Science they advocate for new strategies for the digital safety of children and youths aged 13 and older. Prof. Sandra Cortesi and Prof. Urs Gasser from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) explain when artificial intelligence could intervene on smartphones, what role peer groups can play and why children should be involved in shaping their digital education.

Achieving national carbon neutrality targets necessitates precise and reliable carbon accounting across all sectors, particularly in waste management. As municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) plants expand globally, their role in energy generation and waste reduction is balanced against the imperative to accurately quantify greenhouse gas emissions. Traditional accounting methods often encounter challenges with the heterogeneous nature of waste, evolving waste composition due to sorting initiatives, co-incineration practices, and the underestimation of inert materials. Researchers from Tongji University and the Shanghai Institute of Pollution Control and Ecological Security have developed an advanced methodology that significantly improves the accuracy of direct carbon emission calculations from waste incineration, a critical step towards enhancing sustainable waste management strategies and furthering carbon neutrality efforts.
