A new, interactive global map has been launched to help people understand how pollution and climate change are affecting lakes around the world.
The interactive platform, known as the Global Lakes Explorer, helps scientists, policymakers, educators, and the public to explore where nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen are entering lakes and how this pollution may change in the future.
The tool was developed through an international initiative funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and led by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) in collaboration with global research partners.
