A Committee for Climate Mitigation Tools Can Address Technology Fears 🚀🌍 The list of technologies that Danish farmers can use to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from their operations is extensive. Unfortunately, skepticism about some climate mitigation tools exists among some politicians, consumers, and farmers. Additionally, it can be challenging for farmers to select the safest and most effective technologies. Therefore, we at @SEGES Innovation propose the establishment of an independent committee to assess and define the best climate mitigation tools. The committee should consist of representatives from universities, think tanks, knowledge institutions, and agencies and serve as a link between agriculture and the political system. By establishing such a committee, the implementation of the most effective climate mitigation tools can be accelerated, helping Danish farmers to meet the requirement to reduce emissions by 2030.

Global Industry Alliance for Marine Biosafety funded a study: on impacts of biofouling on GHG emissions; which found that only a thin layer of slime on ships' hull can increase GHG emissions for up to 25%. On #WorldEnvironmentDay together with our sister project IMO-NORAD TEST Biofouling project we would like to continue raising awareness that following good biofouling management practices is beneficial to the environment both from biodiversity and climate change aspects, i.e. prevents the spread of invasive species and reduces GHG emissions.

🔍 Understanding Environmental Product Information (EPI) Transparency in environmental impact is crucial for building trust and promoting sustainable practices. At Sedus, we achieve this transparency through our Environmental Product Information (EPI) sheets. Available for over 100 products, these sheets provide a detailed breakdown of emissions and ecological aspects, enabling us to continually improve our products' environmental performance. Explore what further information our EPI contains and how it is created. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eupccJ-W #Sedus #EPI #Sustainability #Transparency #LifeCycleAssessment

Transparancy is important !

🌿 Join Ipsen in Protecting Biodiversity! 🌿 This #BiodiversityDay, we’re proudly standing with the global community to advocate for conservation under the 2024 theme ‘Be part of the Plan’, urging action to halt and reverse biodiversity loss through The Biodiversity Plan. 🌍 Why it matters: Biodiversity and climate are deeply intertwined - climate change worsens habitat destruction, species' resilience, and disrupts ecosystems. Integrated approaches are essential. 🌍 Our pledge: Through our sustainability strategy #GenerationIpsen, we drive positive change for future generations. Ipsen's Biodiversity Strategy Plan (BSP) integrates conservation with climate change strategies, aiming for ‘Nature Positive by 2030’. Read more about our BSP, recently updated from 2023 to 2026, here: https://lnkd.in/eCpqV4dP Since 2021, biodiversity conservation efforts at Ipsen have included ecological surveys, biodiversity data management, and community-based activities like Generation Ipsen's Community Days, enhancing habitats and fostering partnerships with external conservation organizations. Together, let's champion biodiversity conservation! Join us in #ClimateAction, #PartOfThePlan #ForNature 🌱 

Next in the series of 'Safe & Sustainable By Design: Lessons From The History Books' is Corexit Corexit is a chemical dispersant that was developed to break up and disperse oil spills on water surfaces. It was created to address the environmental and ecological damage caused by large-scale oil spills. The chemical was used in response to oil spill incidents to prevent it from reaching coastlines, wetlands, and other sensitive habitats. It was applied directly to the oil slicks either from the air or by dispersing it on the water's surface. The idea was that by breaking the oil into tiny droplets, it would disperse throughout the water column, reducing the visible surface area of the oil slick and making it less likely to impact marine life and coastal ecosystems. However, despite its intended benefits, Corexit has been the subject of controversy due to its toxicity and environmental risks. The dispersant is known to be harmful to marine life, including fish, shellfish, and various aquatic organisms as well as humans. The short-term health symptoms include acute respiratory problems, skin rashes, cardiovascular impacts, gastrointestinal impacts, and short-term loss of memory. Long-term impacts include cancer, decreased lung function, liver damage, and kidney damage. The toxicity concerns and environmental harm associated with Corexit led to its usage being restricted or banned in certain regions. Over time, regulators and environmentalists have raised concerns about the long-term impacts of dispersant use on marine ecosystems and wildlife. Alabama researchers found that the dispersant killed plankton and disrupted the Gulf of Mexico's food web, noting that it is "like the middle part of the food chain has been taken away". In late 2012, a study from Georgia Tech and an environmental pollution journal reported that Corexit used during the BP oil spill had increased the toxicity of the oil by up to 52 times. The chemical's premature promise is explained by incomplete testing - it was never tested for toxicity, it was tested for effectiveness in its ability to break up the oil. #safeandsustainablebydesign #sasbd #friedheimscientific

https://lnkd.in/dXBasZHd Did you know! There are several innovative technologies that positively impact marine sustainability. Some of them include: 1. Remote sensing and satellite technology: These technologies help in monitoring and tracking changes in the ocean, including water quality, temperature, and marine life distribution. They enable scientists and conservationists to identify areas that require protection and develop appropriate management strategies. 2. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs): AUVs are unmanned, submersible robots equipped with various sensors and cameras. They can collect data on marine ecosystems, including mapping coral reefs, studying marine habitats, and monitoring pollution levels. 3. Marine renewable energy: Technologies such as offshore wind farms, tidal turbines, and wave energy converters generate clean and renewable energy from the ocean. They help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependency on fossil fuels, contributing to a more sustainable energy future. 4. Marine debris removal systems: Several innovative technologies, such as floating booms and specialized vessels, have been developed to efficiently collect and remove marine debris, such as plastic waste, from the ocean. These technologies help prevent harm to marine life and ecosystems. 5. Aquaculture systems and monitoring: Technological advancements have improved the efficiency and sustainability of aquaculture practices. Techniques such as recirculating aquaculture systems, underwater sensors, and real-time monitoring help optimize fish farming, minimize pollution, and reduce the impact on wild fish populations. 6. DNA barcoding and species identification: DNA barcoding is a technique that uses a small segment of an organism's DNA to identify species. It helps in species identification, monitoring of biodiversity, and tracking illegal trade of marine organisms. This technology plays a crucial role in enforcing conservation regulations and protecting endangered species. Overall, these innovative technologies contribute to better understanding, monitoring, and conservation of marine ecosystems, promoting their long-term sustainability. Arivo.online
