Your July Briefing: Spotlight on climate action
This month's issue features a roadmap for climate action, work towards a new panel on chemicals, waste, and pollution, and a call for young professionals.
In depth?
It’s climate action crunch time?
As many parts of the world experience scorching temperatures,?this roadmap outlines how industry, agriculture, mobility and other sectors can, and must, reduce emissions.
Pollution is deadly to humans, destructive to ecosystems and disastrous for economies?
Plans are underway to establish a science-policy panel, which UNEP head Inger Andersen called “a life-saving action on chemicals, pollution and waste.” ?
Calling young people?
If you have relevant experience and a passion for the planet, apply by 8 August for this joint UNEP and UN Volunteers initiative .?
By the numbers ?
Worth a watch?
In this special video for June’s World Environment Day , astronaut Jessica Meir shares her memories of seeing Earth from space. See what else happened .?

4 个月I find it very unfortunate that having this technology available no one seems to care, not even those who work "for" the environment... I am a humble winner of the gold medal of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and I have a project in favor of the environment. It is a filter that adapts to the exhaust pipe of motor vehicles. This filter forces carbon monoxide and the rest of the ultra-fine particles to mix with water in a container designed for this purpose. After 8 days of operation, that water with a high degree of carbon and dissolved particles can be used as fertilizer for plants since carbon and particles pollute if they are poured into the air but they fertilize the land because that is where they belong; With the implementation of this technology, the millions of vehicles that pollute the air daily should be intelligently recycling their emissions. The internal combustion engine is a great invention but it unfortunately pollutes the air, the filter in the exhaust pipe constitutes the industrial design that closes the gap between what is and what should be. I don't like climate change and this is my contribution. [email protected]

4 个月Most disconcerting! Even with all the severe weather, some people are still in denial about climate change. A tragic potential end to life on earth.

4 个月The use of intelligent energy systems in all industrial areas, not only developed countries, and finally changing the hours of energy-intensive industries to hours that do not have peak energy consumption will help to reduce the air temperature and ultimately increase the overall temperature of the world.
