Symbiodiniaceae activity enhances larval energy reserves in the mediterranean Gorgonian Eunicella singularis. Mar Biol 173, 7 (2026)] reveals the key role of #microalgae within the Eunicella singularis gorgon, making it possible to provide a sufficient #energy budget to the benefit of coral larvae #resilience through #photosynthesis during a delicate stage of their development 🎯🌀 This science-based research demonstrates the importance of biological #interactions in #reefs and #corals, while improving the understanding of the adaptation of #marine #species to climate pressures 👶🔋The energetic symbiosis therefore begins at the larval stage, well before the formation of the adult colony, unveiling amazing ability of Mediterranean #biodiversity to adapt and persist in the face of #climatechange crisis 📸 © @springer1842_ @springernature @centre_scientifique_monaco - Layout and Contents by: © MonacoEcoArt.com](https://scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/783967960_18622285255048354_4418442801531029387_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=103&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=Sis7n8PlHW4Q7kNvwHqqqpA&_nc_oc=Adpfs5ZTTuhYky1lmtsdCEBViipbdTUOHYTCsJnWOlvvmzhEXOo23p1aRlFGr9LGKLQ&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=gCth3baqIXTNUXDvn57sbg&_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQKR1URJ_WlRxmrOkP7KisxxNo5FbDAjAKu3rzSqnbUqEjEBvVHsFG8p27sgK0bgSKmtGq7vlXAs&oh=00_AQPAJkhW9Fbk9IvLSD75nESzm55UpD6jjircm7gYXKfPsg&oe=6ACAC74B)
Nice looks to Monaco's high research to form the new High Council for the Environment.
On the 14th December 2022, the Metropole de Nice (Metropolitan City of Nice) conceived a High Local Council for Climate, acting as a local 'IPCC' (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), made of sixteen volunteering members among leading experts in the region. Dr. Nathalie Hilmi, Doctor in Economics, specialising in Macroeconomics and International Finance, and member of the Centre Scientifique de Monaco (Monaco Scientific Centre) for Environmental Economics, will join the team.
This new technical panel will play a strategic role in establishing climate adaptation initiatives regarding Nice region. Christian Estrosi, Mayor of Nice, declared: « Giving the broad guidelines that will lead public action on the ecological and energy transition is pivotal. We need unquestionable experts to strengthen our scientific knowledge (...) to amplify, correct, change. A local version of the High Council for Government Climate ».
Each technical member will bring its high-level knowledge allowing to advise policy makers in finding the best solutions for the whole territory. In forecast there is also the formation of the Convention Citoyenne locale pour le climat (Local City Committee for the climate) and a specific training course to form future territorial civil servants through the École du Climate (Climate School).
The High Local Council for Climate is currently being formed to be convened at least twice a year. ***
