A5. Could go either way, if only big platforms control the AI, we may see more “gatekeepers” deciding what is true. Europe is trying to avoid that: AI-CODE services are designed so journalists & fact-checkers (not just platforms) test and shape tools. #aicodeproject

A4. Huge role. AI can surface, monitor, alert - but what counts as ‘trustworthy’ still needs human editorial judgment, ethical frameworks and public debate. For example, this AI-CODE video emphasises that AI should support editorial judgment, not replace it. eurac.tv/9Ygr #aicodeproject

A3. Start with the people: institutions, NGOs, media must earn trust. AI alone won’t fix a broken relationship. As Euractiv made clear when it joined The Trust Project to adopt 'trust indicators' in journalism - transparency from media organisations matters. #aicodeproject

A2. Bottom line: tech is necessary, but acceptance and fairness are the bigger battleground – that’s why AI-CODE considers ethics as part of its research. #aicodeproject

Both matter, but right now the trust gap is probably bigger. We can build clever tools - as the AI-CODE Project shows: new AI for journalists, fact-checkers, etc., but if the public thinks these tools are opaque or biased, we’ll face backlash #aicodeproject

A1. Read Euractiv’s Infographic on “Misinformation is eroding global journalism, but legacy media maintains authority” to read about disinformation and AI tactics eurac.tv/9YdV #aicodeproject

Despite a continued reliance on quality journalism, misinformation, AI disruption, and low media literacy threaten trust in news

A1. No tech will ever be completely ahead of disinfo. Tactics evolve just as fast as AI, deep-fakes, bots. But what we can build are resilient systems. The AI-CODE project aims to combine human fact-checkers and AI tools to respond more quickly to evolving threats. #aicodeproject

A5.3: That means:
– Strict sustainability criteria
– Monitoring forest health
– Prioritizing circular use (recycling/reuse)
– Supporting long-term forest regeneration 🌳🔄

A.5.2 More demand for wood and biomass can lead to logging pressure, biodiversity loss, and even higher carbon emissions if forests can't regenerate fast enough. Can we scale up bio-based industries without crossing ecological boundaries? It’s possible—but only with strong safeguards. #LifeTerra

A.5.1 The EU’s bioeconomy strategy pushes for more use of renewable biological resources—like wood for energy, construction, and bioplastics. Sounds green – but forests aren’t limitless... #LifeTerra

A.4.2: There needs more international collab, since Euractiv reports that “world’s wealthiest nations collectively caused 15 times more biodiversity loss internationally than domestically, driving deforestation to satisfy [...] demand” - showing the different priorities. eurac.tv/9Y2X #LifeTerra

A.4.1: While EU frameworks like the EUDR aim to address forest degradation, enforcement gaps & loopholes often tip the scale toward short-term profit. Climate goals need more than good intentions—they need real accountability. #LifeTerra

A.3.1: A separate study published in ScienceDirect, relates climate change to a decline in forest productivity in Western Europe, taking France as a study case. eurac.tv/9Y2Y #LifeTerra
Climate change is making Europe's forests more vulnerable, and less productive - Euractiv
Adaptive mechanisms in Mediterranean vegetation, such as deep rooting systems, have helped mitigate some impacts. But it’s far from enough. High risks remain.

A.2.2: @euractiv.com reported that "As Europe’s forests expand, a shift towards pro-forestation – which allows forests to grow with minimal human intervention – is creating new ecological and economic opportunities, enhancing the availability of NWFPs." #LifeTerra

“Ultimately, a shift in mindset, from viewing trees as obstacles to recognising them as essential components of resilient and sustainable agricultural systems, is crucial for unlocking the full potential of agroforestry in achieving climate and biodiversity goals” eurac.tv/9Y3W #LifeTerra
Agroforestry needs fairer, clearer policies, and more funding, warn farmers - Euractiv
Recent studies report farmers see the potential of agroforestry systems being undermined by unfair, poorly compensated climate and biodiversity rules.
