Peacefully resolving the overriding political, economic and social concerns of our time requires a multifaceted approach, including mechanisms to address the links between the natural environment and human security. UNDP, UNEP, OSCE and NATO have joined forces in the Environment and Security (ENVSEC) Initiative to offer countries their combined pool of expertise and resources towards that aim. ENVSEC assessment of environment and security linkages in the South Caucasus was completed in 2004 and presented at the Ministerial meeting of EECCA countries in Tbilisi. The assessment as well as already on-going initiatives form a basis for an ENVSEC work programme in the region.

Axios reporter Amy Harder moderates a keynote conversation with Rep. Kathy Castor (D-FL), who chairs the newly created House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis.
Climate change has reemerged as a top priority on Capitol Hill — and the conversation has matured from whether to take action to how.

The first destination of the German-Soviet expedition in 1989 was the Zapovednik (nature reserve) "Taymyrsky", in central Taymyr peninsula in the north of Krasnoyarsky Krai, established in 1979. Except the main area the Zapovednik includes also three isolated sites "Ary-Mas", "Lukunsky", "Balakhinsky". The total area is 1781,9 thousand ha. The Taymyr peninsula is covered by the most extensive and northernmost tundra habitats in Siberia. These enormous wetlands are used during the short Arctic summer by millions of waterbirds, which winter in Southern Europe, Southern Asia and Africa. The biodiversity of the Taymyr peninsula is with 20% well covered with different kinds of protected areas. However, there may be need to connect them by South-North corridors to secure adaptation of biodiversity moving North with climate change. With increased warming and thawing of tundra massive release of methane stored in the ground could trigger further climate change.

Within the former German-Soviet Environmental Agreement in the years 1989-1991 3 biological expeditions to the Taymyr peninsula in northernmost Siberia were performed. They laid the ground for the establishment (1993) of the Great Arctic Reserve (Zapovednik). The Taymyr peninsula is covered by the most extensive and northernmost tundra habitats in Siberia. These enormous wetlands are used during the short Arctic summer by millions of waterbirds, which winter in Southern Europe, Southern Asia and Africa. The biodiversity of the Taymyr peninsula is with 20% well covered with different kinds of protected areas.

ANACORTES, WASHINGTON-- On Saturday, May 14, 2016, activists began their second day blockading the train tracks leading to the oil refineries in Anacortes. The activists slept overnight at the encampment on the train tracks as part of the Break Free actions happening around the world.
Thousands of people began converging in Anacortes, WA, as part of the global climate mobilization Break Free. Many are now risking arrest by engaging in peaceful civil disobedience to highlight the moral urgency of immediate action to combat climate change.
Anacortes is home to two fossil fuel refineries owned by Shell and Tesoro. These refineries are the largest unaddressed source of carbon pollution in the Northwest and they refine 47% of all the gas and diesel used in the region.
Break Free Pacific Northwest events will continue throughout the weekend.

Icebergs broken from glaciers drift south on the east Greenland current. Evidence of arctic warming is present in widespread melting of glaciers and sea ice. Melting of reflective snow and ice will reveal darker land and ocean, which will increase our planet's absorption of heat. This could lead to a feedback loop of further warming and melting.

Salmon require cold, fast-flowing streams and rivers to spawn. Changing stream flows and warming waters in the Pacific Northwest are already impacting some salmon species and populations. Higher temperatures have also led a harmful salmon parasite to invade Alaska’s Yukon River. So while salmon might currently be on the menu, climate change is expected to impact major commercial and recreational fishing industries in the coming years. Photo by Bureau of Land Management.

Secretary-General António Guterres (left) with Albert Ramdin, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Suriname, plant a young mangrove tree in the Weg Naar Zee mangrove rehabilitation site in Suriname.
Weg Naar Zee, an easily accessible coastal area of about 10,000 acres situated north-west of Paramaribo and part of the 386 kms of the mainly muddy coastal zone of Suriname, has suffered from extreme erosion which has resulted in an absence of soft sling mud, a preferred foraging habitat for shorebirds.

Police issue section 14 notice to XR Universities protesters on Earth Strike Day to prevent protest outside King's College London.
A roadside fire near Shepperton, Victoria, Australia, probably started by a motorist throwing a cigarette out of the window. The drought in Victoria lead to catastrophic bush fires in 2009. on Balck Saturday the temperatures reached 47 degrees centigrade. Catastrophic forest fires left 173 people dead with 7000 left homeless. Such conditions are likely to become more common due to climate change.

The increased incidence and intensity of heatwaves are expected to shift temperature-related mortality from winter to summer, with fewer colder-related deaths and more heat-related ones. In the long-term, the net total number of climate-related deaths is expected to increase for the period 2050–2100 (Ballester et al., 2011). Albania and FYR Macedonia are considered particularly exposed to heatwaves (UNEP/ENVSEC, 2012). In these countries, unprecedented heat extremes could occur in 60 per cent of summer months and droughts could increase by 20 per cent in a 4°C warmer world (World Bank, 2014).
