How science aims to help humanity make peace with nature


 About 250 environmental scientists are gathering this week in Nairobi, Kenya to discuss an advanced draft of the latest Global Environment Outlook, a landmark report expected to showcase solutions to some of the planet’s most-pressing environmental challenges.




This will be the seventh edition of the report, known as GEO-7, since 1995. The series has become a go-to scientific resource for policymakers, providing them with peer-reviewed data and evidence-based analysis on everything from pollution to climate change.


GEO-7 is produced by hundreds of experts from around the world under the stewardship of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The United Nations Environment Assembly, the world’s top decision-making body on the environment, requested the latest edition in 2022.


Expected to be published in December 2025, it will be the first report in the series to focus on solutions to the triple planetary crisis of climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution and waste. Its long-term goal is to help humanity live more sustainably.


Putting together such a wide-ranging report is an immense undertaking and the GEO-7 drafting process has not been without its fair share of challenges. One has been enlisting the expertise of reviewers from around the globe.


We recently sat down with Nyovani Madise, the GEO-7 co-chair and a director at the African Institute for Development Policy, to discuss the importance of GEO-7 and the vital role that reviewers play in the drafting process.

Glaciers are losing more water each year than the world will consume in three decades, study warns

Image
The thawing of 7 trillion tonnes of glacial ice since has raised sea levels by almost 2 centimetres, with the Alps a melting hotspot. Climate change is causing glaciers around the world to melt faster than ever recorded, a new scientific study has found.These bodies of ice have shrunk by more than 5 per cent on average since 2000 - and at an accelerating rate in the past decade.Scientists have long been aware that glaciers - indicators of human-caused climate change - are melting increasingly fast. But this new study, published in the journal Nature, draws together various findings for the most comprehensive look at the issue yet.“Regions that have had glaciers since time immemorial are losing these icons of ice,” says Tyler Sutterley, a senior research scientist in the Polar Science Center at the University of Washington. Sutterly is one of the study’s authors from a global consortium of hundreds of researchers called the Glacier Mass Balance Intercomparison Exercise (GlaMBIE). How qu...
