Stuart Mitchell

A new project led by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) has been launched to build a global community of researchers, decision-makers and other stakeholders, collaborating to evaluate, synthesise, and ultimately accelerate the implementation of climate policies that work. With greenhouse gas concentrations at record levels and emissions yet to peak, there is a need for rigorous, synthesised evidence on what climate solutions are effective, under what conditions, for whom and why. The project, led by Jan Minx, head of the Evidence for Climate Solutions working group at…

That’s equivalent to the annual footprint of over 1,700 UK citizens. While this represents continued year‑on‑year growth in the number of productions being measured, it also highlights how much…

New Study Finds 73% of the World’s Ocean Protected Areas Are Polluted by Sewage

Stuart Mitchell

A new study by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the University of Queensland published in Ocean & Coastal Management has found that nearly three out of four of the world’s marine protected areas (MPAs) are polluted by sewage. In the ocean regions most critical for coral reefs and tropical sea life, the problem is even worse: between 87 percent and 92 percent of protected areas are affected, and typical pollution levels inside these zones are ten times higher than in surrounding unprotected waters. Over 16,000 MPAs globally were evaluated in the…
