Studying environmental management is crucial in today's world to ensure a sustainable future. This field equips individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to address pressing environmental challenges like climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. By understanding how human activities impact the environment and learning effective strategies for conservation and sustainable resource use, environmental management professionals play a vital role in safeguarding our planet. Joining this field isn't just about learning—it's about actively contributing to a healthier, more resilient Earth for generations to come. 🌍💚 #EnvironmentalManagement #Sustainability #ProtectOurPlanet

New research predicts the ecological footprint of G20 nations by 2050, revealing that the UK and 15 others are expected to have a negative impact. The study emphasizes the urgency for sustainable practices to preserve resources and ecosystems.

Only four G20 countries set for positive ecological footprint by 2050, study finds - The University of Sheffield: The UK along with 15 of the G20 nations are forecast to have a negative ecological footprint by 2050, according to new research from the University of Sheffield. https://lnkd.in/enxGDyDB

📍#WedNESPday For almost 10 years, the National Environmental Science Program (NESP) has been doing critical research to help solve Australia’s environmental challenges. The four NESP hubs are helping us to better understand our environment, protect our iconic places, manage our waste, and adapt to a changing climate. 🌊 The Marine and Coastal Hub’s research is informing management of Australia’s marine and coastal environments. 🌱 The Resilient Landscapes Hub is informing management of our terrestrial and freshwater habitats to promote resilience and sustainability. ⛈️ The Climate Systems Hub is advancing our understanding of Australia’s climate and its extremes, and informing climate adaptation solutions. ♻️The Sustainable Communities and Waste Hub’s research is reducing the impact of plastics, improving understanding of the circular economy, and offering management options for hazardous substances and pollutants. This vital NESP research provides evidence to underpin environmental decisions, policies and on-ground management.

Attending the 1.5°C Global Environmental Conference on World Environment Day 2024, which underscores the urgent need for global action to address pressing environmental challenges. This year's theme, "land restoration, stopping desertification and building drought resilience" highlights the importance of revitalizing degraded landscapes, from forests to wetlands, to combat climate change and biodiversity loss. Governments, organizations, and individuals worldwide are encouraged to participate in activities that promote sustainable practices, such as tree planting, clean-up campaigns, and educational initiatives. By fostering a collective commitment to restore and protect our natural environment, World Environment Day 2024 aims to inspire positive change and ensure a healthier planet for future generations.

A new study by Energy Institute researchers has discovered that only four G20 countries is set for positive ecological footprint by 2050. The UK, along with 15 of the G20 nations, are forecast to have a negative ecological footprint by 2050, according to new research from the University of Sheffield led by Prof S.C. Lenny Koh. This research uses a new method for predicting ecological footprints that could help to more accurately assess the impact of policy on the environment - find out more at the link below: https://lnkd.in/eZ3thwFy

Check out the latest news about The Future of Shipping workshop organised by the World Maritime University and the International Maritime Organization. VELUX FONDEN and Ocean5 are sponsoring the event. OCEAN Project partner Rui Prieto from the University of the Azores will present at the event. The workshop presents a unique opportunity for cross-disciplinary collaboration. It aims to explore innovative ways to reduce shipping's impact on biodiversity and climate, examine challenges and opportunities, and identify novel opportunities for sustainable shipping. It will also discuss potential voluntary commitments for the UN Ocean Conference 2025, paving the way for transformative solutions. This event aims to unite experts worldwide who specialise in protecting our oceans and promoting sustainable shipping. It will emphasise the biodiversity-climate nexus in shipping and discuss various topics such as regulations, science, emerging fuels, and more.
