#climatechange is impacting businesses and will further impact them in the short, medium, and long-term. Yes, extreme heat and precipitation can prevent people to participate to outdoor activities. Yes, these same extreme weather events can damage infrastructure and equipment. Yes, business performances are at risk. At EcoAct , we assess #climaterisk for our clients and support them in the development of mitigation and adaptation strategy.

#pollution #plastic Following the discovery of microplastics (plastic fragments smaller than 5mm) in food, water, and even blood by scientists, a recent study has been published shedding light on the previously unrecognized role of microplastics in cloud formation. Microplastics (MP) have been identified through the analysis of water samples collected from mountains in Japan (earlier this year) and China. One explanation is airborne transport of MP. Further scientific research is essential to enhance our understanding of how MP might impact cloud formation. The influence of clouds on weather ad temperature variations is crucial, as they possess the dual capability of either reflecting sunlight or trapping heat on Earth.
Microplastics found in clouds could affect weather and global temperatures
