GEO7 report just launched!
The most comprehensive scientific assessment yet focusing on the current state and future trends of the global environment.

NOC's Dr Domingues contributed to the Oceans and Coasts chapter, providing insights into Earth’s greatest climate regulator.🌊🌎

[UN Environment Programme @UNEP]

Investing in a healthy planet isn’t just good for nature — it’s a massive economic opportunity.

The newly released #GEO7 report shows that transforming our energy, food, waste and finance systems can unlock US$20 trillion a year by 2070, save millions of lives, and lift millions out of poverty.

A new study reveals the impact of deep-sea mining on biodiversity. Research led by scientists at @NHM_London, @goteborgsuni and NOC, reveals:

🔹37% fewer animals in mining tracks
🔹32% drop in species richness
🔹Natural seafloor changes also observed over time

[Eva Stewart @evacdstewart]
