Air Pollution: The Silent Killer.
.
It is an epidemic that is killing seven million people every year, making it a more pressing threat than any other kind of pollution. As well as affecting the majority of the global population, air pollution also impacts on nearly all parts of the body.

Between 1997 and 2018, the US has lost 98,000 square miles of farmland. China reportedly loses 7,700 square miles of precious agricultural land each year and by 2040, abandoned land in the EU could amount to 82,000 square miles!⁠
⁠
Globally, agricultural land is being abandoned after years of unsustainable cultivation methods; among other factors, the use of chemical fertilisers has left land depleted to the point of no return. Initiatives to restore these lands to use as tools in the fight against the climate crisis are underway.⁠

Coral reefs are among the most valuable ecosystems on the planet. Besides containing one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on earth, coral reefs protect coastlines from the damaging effects of wave action and tropical storms, are a source of nitrogen and other nutrients for marine food chains, assist in nitrogen and carbon fixing and are a source of income for millions of people around the world. ⁠
⁠
However, coral reefs are facing events of severe bleaching and physical destruction due to human coastal development, as well as the effects of unmanaged tourism, including anchoring, fish feeding, marine litter and diver contact. ⁠
⁠
Their resilience depends on effective management, thus resilience-based management is being adopted in major reef regions around the world to secure the foundations for sustainable development and adapt to global warming.⁠

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager in charge of $7 trillion, is putting climate at the centre of its investment strategy. ⁠
⁠
BlackRock chairman and CEO Larry Fink signed two letters that could signal a shift towards sustainable investing, that values environmental, social and governance concerns along with financial returns. The firm is in the process of removing companies that get more than 25% of their revenue from thermal coal production from their portfolios, stocks and bonds. ⁠
⁠
"Awareness is rapidly changing, and I believe we are on the edge of a fundamental reshaping of finance," CEO Larry Fink said in his letter to other chief executives Tuesday. ⁠

Bushfires tearing through southeastern Australia have killed at least 25 people and burnt over 14.8 million acres of land. It is feared that a billion animals have perished, nearly 2000 homes have been burnt down and thousands took to beaches for refuge. The smoke from the bushfire is so dense that glaciers in New Zealand have turned brown from ash and smoke. ⁠
⁠
Adding to the chaos is Australia’s own government, who continue to deny the link between the fires and the climate crisis and intend to use an accounting loophole to reduce its emissions reduction efforts. ⁠

Around the world, heads of states are under increasing pressure to commit to global environmental policies and treaties. Civil society has been demanding that harsher laws be enacted to protect the environment, while protesting against those governments and corporations not complying with existing environmental regulations.⁠
⁠
Legally protecting traditional indigenous lands is an effective way of preserving natural resources and mitigating the effects of the climate crisis. ⁠

In December 2019, the European Commission presented the ‘European Green Deal’- the EU’s legislative roadmap to carbon neutrality before 2050. Meanwhile, In early 2019, American lawmakers Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ed Markey released the ‘Green New Deal’ proposal in the US Congress with the same goal.⁠

Further cuts in funding are making it increasingly difficult to conduct regular and accurate research and monitoring, such as the UK’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs’s budget being slashed by 57% since 2010. Areas suffering the most from these cuts are water quality monitoring, ecology and biodiversity. Thus, environmental scientists and researchers are becoming more reliant on the power of citizen science- the practice of public participation and collaboration in scientific research to increase scientific knowledge- to overcome barriers due to resource and time constraints. ⁠

The choice between economic development and sustainability is often considered to be irreconcilable. However, viewing the elements of ecosystems as resources that provide services puts a price on nature, helping to shape the future of investments made by companies. ‘ESG investments’ are becoming increasingly important to investors who want to ensure that their money is aiding the sustainability of the planet rather than harming it. ⁠

The humanitarian and ecological devastation caused by bushfires spreading across Australia is the new reality of the climate crisis. Fuelled by an extremely dry summer and soaring temperatures, these fires should be a wake up call for the rest of the world.⁠
⁠
The damage from these bushfires is colossal. The fires have burned over 60,000 sq km, about the same size as Lithuania’s entire land area, and killed around 480 million animals in New South Wales alone. ⁠
⁠
Collectively, these fires are reported to have emitted over half of Australia’s annual CO2 emissions, which will have knock-on effects for air quality, water pollution, public and ecological health for the country in the months to come, and for countries close by. ⁠

While commercial whaling is banned, it is estimated that at least 1500 large whales are killed each year. While the problem of dwindling whale numbers is often discussed, what is less known about these animals is the role they play in mitigating global warming. ⁠
⁠
Whales are capable of capturing a significant amount of carbon from the atmosphere. A single whale can- over a lifespan of around 60 years- accumulate around 33 tonnes of CO2 on average. By comparison, a tree can absorb up to 22kgs of CO2 a year. ⁠

It is no longer sufficient to reduce CO2 emissions alone. The time is ripe for large-scale carbon capture, usage and storage, a suite of technologies that trap carbon dioxide produced by industries and fossil-fuel power plants, then bury it underground or recycle it.⁠

Since the Industrial Revolution, the relationship between economic growth and emissions reduction has been seemingly disproportionate. ⁠
⁠
However, data compiled by the World Resources Institute shows that since 2000, 21 countries have been able to reduce their annual emissions while growing their economies, indicating that the decoupling of economic growth with emissions is possible. ⁠
⁠
How can we achieve this decoupling? Read more on Earth.Org⁠

⁠Despite the US and Europe reducing their carbon emissions by 1.7% this year, carbon dioxide emissions are still expected to reach a record high, according to a new report. Natural gas and oil consumption continue to drive up CO2 emissions for a third straight year, with scientists warning the world is running out of time to make the changes needed to avoid a climate disaster. ⁠

Besides sea-level rising, the melting of the Greenland ice sheet (GiS) has another side-effect- the release of methane, which has rapidly increased in the past decades and more than doubled from pre-industrial times. Methane has a 20-year Global Warming Potential of 84, which means that over a 20-year time period, it’s 84 times more powerful than CO2 at trapping heat in the atmosphere.⁠
⁠
@earthorg analysed satellite data to assess the concentration of methane in the GiS in July 2019.⁠

⁠
Although methane accounts for less than a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions, it is roughly 30 times more potent than carbon dioxide in terms of absorbing heat and contributes 25% of man-made global warming as of 2013.⁠

A third of Africa’s tropical plant species are at risk of dying out, affecting those countries that rely on its biodiversity for tourism and fuel. A further third of the species studied are rare and could potentially be threatened with extinction in the near future. ⁠
⁠
This major threat to biodiversity is linked to industrial-scale activities such as timber exploitation or large plantations, mining and agriculture, as well as climate change. ⁠

The world’s top three emitters of greenhouse gases, namely China, the European Union and the US, contribute more than half of the total global emissions while six of the top 10 emitters are developing countries!⁠
⁠
Reducing emissions may therefore appear to threaten developing countries’ economic progress, but to meet the Paris target, this is exactly what needs to happen. Is there a way for developing countries to prosper without increasing their emissions? ⁠
