A gelatinous solution to microplastic pollution!

#EU-funded @GoJellyEU developed biofilters from jellyfish mucus, to prevent microplastic pollution.
The project looked also into alternative use for jellyfish: bio-based fertilizers for agriculture or aquaculture feed.

#IPCC's Synthesis Report 👉 https://t.co/zAMzd12lR7

With every increment of warming:

The risks, impacts & related losses & damages escalate.

Adaptation options are becoming more constrained & less effective.

What our future will look like depends on the choices we make today.

[General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean @UN_FAO_GFCM]

🟢#GFCM Experts in #Tunis 🇹🇳 for the Subregional Committee for the Central Mediterranean with more than 100 participants❗️

📌To address, among other things, specific issues emanating from the adopted recommendations.

[IPCC @IPCC_CH]

The pace & scale of #climateaction is insufficient to tackle #climatechange.

In 2018, #IPCC highlighted the scale of the challenge required to keep warming to 1.5°C. 5 years on, the Synthesis Report shows that the challenge has become even greater.

“This Synthesis Report underscores the urgency of taking more ambitious action & shows that, if we act now, we can still secure a liveable sustainable future for all.” - #IPCC Chair Hoesung Lee on the release of #IPCC’s Synthesis Report.
