The United Nations is calling for world governments to protect 30 percent of the planet by 2030 in order to stop the rapid loss of biodiversity, restore ecosystem functions, and help stave off the worst impacts of climate change.

Researchers have examined the impact of climate change on salmon farming. Their work will help adaptation planning.

Air quality during events such as devastating bushfires is another serious concern to address and NASA satellites are able to help in this area as well.

University scientists have contributed to a major new publication by the Marine Climate Change Impacts Partnership (MCCIP) which highlights the current and future impacts of climate change on UK seas and dependent industries and society.

New research identifies microbes that thrive in the face of wildly different nutrient levels.

To fully understand water and its effects on people, scientists suggest water needs new research framework.

Research says nitrous oxide is considered the “unspoken greenhouse gas” because of its food production.

People who live in more built up areas and spend less free-time in nature are also less likely to take actions that benefit the environment, such as recycling, buying eco-friendly products, and environmental volunteering.

A UNIGE researcher has discovered the particularities of porphyry copper and gold deposits, providing mining companies with a new tool to maximise the extraction of these two metals.

Findings indicate that the likely impacts of mining on microbial ecosystems vary substantially, from minimal disturbance to the irreversible loss of important ecosystem processes.
