New research from UChicago highlights how investment in locally led environmental monitoring and data could accelerate improvements in air quality and health for millions.
New EPIC analysis provides a strategic playbook to entities working on global to local public health and environmental issues, highlighting specific opportunities to improve fine particulate #AirPollution (PM2.5) in key regions around the world.

Melissa said, “An effective [global plastics] treaty must be holistic, covering everything from fossil fuel extraction and plastic production to recycling and removing waste that already pollutes our land and ocean.” news.exeter.ac.uk/faculty-of…
Our team's work on the new Global Plastics Treaty has led to three publications in @ScienceMagazine this month. Congratulations to Mengjiao (Melissa) Wang and her collaborators.

A research team, led by our @GPScienceUnit, have called for a remote part of the Indian Ocean which is a hotspot for 12 species including orcas and sperm whales and spinner, striped and bottlenose dolphins, to be a protected area bit.ly/3QWwJaq @seaspray500 @GreenpeaceUK

1/3: As the #Nautica (now the #Yemen) arrives for the UN led operation to offload the #FSOSafer we wish the crews safety and success. A long journey, with @GreenpeaceAr & allies @holmakhdar advocating for years to avert what could have been one of the worst catastrophes.

According to a report just published by @greenpeace_esp and the @GPScienceUnit at the University of Exeter, Spain is heating faster than the global average.
A 2ºC temperature rise is predicted over the next 20 years.

While the #PlasticTreaty continues to draw major attention,
other #Chemicals #Waste #SciencePolicy negotiations will also require substantial inputs from researchers from all disciplines

Successful international #policymaking on #chemicals and #waste needs researcher from all disciplines. Here is some guidance on the policy needs and how to provide tailored inputs.
Many thanks for the great teamwork, Melissa and @giuliacrln! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
