Siska Pottie, Secretary General of the European Alliance for Plant-Based Foods, argues that instead of imposing restrictions, the EU should concentrate on creating fair conditions that allow sustainable food producers, including those in the plant-based sector, to thrive and innovate in a competitive environment.
A new report, World Urbanisation Prospects 2025 (WUP25), reveals a dramatic shift in how humanity occupies the planet. Since 1975, the amount of built-up land has grown nearly twice as fast as the global population. a
Researchers in China have developed an advanced biochar composite enhanced with nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) that dramatically improves the removal of harmful nitrate nitrogen from agricultural soils and water, promising sustainable farming and environmental protection.
A CU Boulder study reveals over 99% of the world's population faces threats to environmental human rights, including polluted air and unsafe water. Nearly half endure three or more environmental crises, demanding urgent global climate action. What does this mean?
A new study from the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) shows how different directions for the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) could shape farming, food production, and the environment by 2040.
Cigarette filters are the most littered item on earth. Here in the UK, they make up around two-thirds of all litter, despite only 12% of people smoking. What steps need to be taken to protect the planet?
An AWI study suggests why the Southern Ocean is still absorbing CO2, defying climate models. Increased low-salinity surface water is creating a barrier, temporarily trapping carbon-rich water below and preserving the vital carbon sink.
The European Commission has launched an open consultation inviting stakeholders to contribute to the development of a pioneering framework: the Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules for the space sector (PEFCR4Space).
Oil giant Equinor has resubmitted its application for the massive Rosebank oil field, forcing the UK government to make an imminent, defining decision.
This move triggers a crucial 30-day public consultation, becoming the final battleground for the UK's largest undeveloped oil reserve, with climate activists mobilising to demand it be rejected
A new report starkly reveals the severe and wide-ranging damage that fossil fuels inflict on human health, from the earliest stages of life to old age.
Air pollution poses a significant environmental health risk, resulting in approximately 6.7 million premature deaths annually due to both ambient and household air pollution....
LMU researchers find human land use has cut Earth’s natural carbon storage in plants and soils by 24% - a significant loss threatening climate stability.
Water pollution from environmental toxins poses a serious threat to global health, especially for vulnerable populations. Asal Shirazi BEM, Founder and CEO of the Autoimmune Support & Awareness Foundation UK, discusses the mechanisms of pollution and the health effects.
