Huge biodiversity losses are taking place, caused by global warming and accelerated by massive deforestation.
In our daily activities as climate scientists, we see the importance of keeping global warming well below 1.5°C every day in our climate model simulations.
Therefore, I try to (…)
I am professor at UCLouvain. I teach on chemical and environmental engineering.
Individual awareness and efforts are a good thing, but they cannot resolve the ecological problem, and neither can science. The issue is a societal one.
We need a common dream to get everyone on board for a fair and much needed change of lifestyle
My main concerns:
Climate change induces ocean warming, sea level rise, deoxygenation and acidification with consequences on ocean biodiversity and biogeochemical cycles that are (…)
As a researcher working in Central Africa for almost two decades now, I have seen how climate change is not a future challenge. It is affecting the living conditions of rural farmers (…)
As some will know and others are trying to ignore, the world is changing rapidly. Our planet is filling up with people and all that they produce.
