Temporarily exceeding global temperature rise of 1.5°C likely to come with long-term consequences, according to a new study.

If tens of thousands of miners turned up in the middle of a protected rainforest to mine for sapphires, you might expect that to cause lots of deforestation and harm local wildlife. Mining has a very bad reputation. It is often assumed to be one of the worse land uses - destroying and polluting the environment and creating barren, moon-like landscapes.

Sustainable development goals for water quality will not be met without the involvement of citizen scientists, argue an international team led by a UCL researcher, in a new policy brief. The policy brief and attached technical brief are published by Earthwatch Europe on behalf of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)-coordinated World Water Quality Alliance that has supported citizen science projects in Kenya, Tanzania and Sierra Leone.
