Microbes without borders: uniting societies for climate action Abstract. The climate crisis is one of the greatest challenges of our time, yet the role of microorganisms remains underrecognized in climate science and p

Microbes = climate allies.
Our new editorial calls for a global alliance to put microbial science at the center of climate action. 🌱🌍

Because microbes cross every border—so should our solutions.
