Alfred-Wegener-Institut - Seaiceportal
Sea ice in the polar regions of the Arctic and Antarctic covers approximately seven percent of our planet, which is bigger than the total area of Europe. These seven percent have a relatively large impact on global climate. Sea ice is particularly driving heat and freshwater exchange of the polar oceans and therefore plays a key role in the earth's climate system. Structure, volume and spatial ...
Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC)
Global economic growth has led to the overuse of natural resources like the atmosphere, land and forests. These special assets are called global commons, because they need worldwide cooperation for their sustainable use. To achieve that, a farsighted and international view is needed, which governments and other stakeholders often lack. MCC aims to fill this gap and provides policy advice as well ...
pacific garbage screening

In 2015 322 million tons of plastic were produced worldwide, and that number is rising every year. The pile of plastic garbage grows each day. Most of the plastic produced since 1959 can be found in its original form in landfill ...
