Commuting by bicycle in Belgium pays off as employees earn compensation for every km they ride. 1 in 6 employees commute by bike and get a bicycle allowance of €0.28/km. People cycling to work in 2024 earned an average of around €460 net per year (some as high as €810), up 20% over the past year.

Belgian commutes pay off: Employees earn up to €810 for cycling to work
One in five people in Flanders commuted by bike and received compensation last year, but this figure is significantly lower in Brussels and Wallonia.

Covering Climate Now @coveringclimatenow.org · 19/07/2025
Extreme heat doesn’t receive the same “round-the-clock” coverage as wildfires, hurricanes, or floods. Yet, “Of all the climate disasters we face, heat is the most urgent, and its day-to-day effects are also the trickiest to talk about.” By Meg Bernhard @columjournreview.bsky.social

What Makes Heat So Hard to Cover?
For journalists, the most urgent climate disaster is also the trickiest to report on.

I invite you to join me & my colleagues on Monday, April 21 for APA’s Essential Science Conversation where we will discuss how Health Psychology & Behavioral Medicine can transform to address the #ClimateCrisis. 🗓 April 21, 2025 🕙 10:00 AM CST 🔗 apa-org.zoom.us/webinar/regi...
Quote by Kristi White that states, “Health psychology and behavioral medicine have ample opportunities for addressing the health impacts of climate change through prioritizing co-benefit solutions in clinical practice and educational settings. How we respond to this call to action represents an important inflection point for our fields at this critical juncture in history.

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

According to this new study, our paper is among the 1% of environmental psychology papers that engaged with the role of racism in the 55-year history of two of the large journals. Those journals published 4,500 papers in that time; only 45 mentioned racism. 1/n. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
