An important role played by the ocean is the storage and exchange of CO2 with the atmosphere, and its diffusion toward deeper layers. At high latitudes, dense waters sink, transferring carbon to the deep ocean. Warming of the ocean surface inhibits this sinking process and therefore reduces the efficiency of CO2 transport and storage. Furthermore, as water warms up, the solubility of CO2 declines, therefore less gas can be stored in the sea water.

I am absolutely delighted to let you know that my new album, 'ECOSYSTEMS' has just been published: stanislav.photography/ecosystems
It has been presented at the Club of Rome 50th Anniversary meeting, the United Nations COP24 conference on climate change, a large exhibition held at the Mathematical Institute of Oxford University and the Environment Europe Oxford Spring School in Ecological Economics and now at the United Nations World Urban Forum 2020. There are only 450 copies left so you will have to be quick: stanislav.photography/ecosystems
You are most welcome to explore my new website: stanislav.photography/ and a totally new blog: environmenteurope.wordpress.com/

World Environment Day (WED) is a day that stimulates awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and public action. It is on 5 June. It was the day that United Nations Conference on the Human Environment began.
The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment was from 5-16 June 1972. It was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972. The first World Environment Day was on 1973. World Environment Day is hosted every year by a different city with a different theme and is commemorated with an international exposition in the week of 5 June. World Environment Day is in summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
Marine turtles have been used for eggs, meat, shell, oil, leather or other products for 7000 years. Modern times have introduced another way for society to profit from these species - to generate economic income as a tourism attraction. Sound turtle management relies on local communities, which – as economic incentive - should receive a fair share of the revenues. In many cases, the bulk of the revenues from the local level end up elsewhere, even outside the country – through international tour operators, for instance. Nearly half of the gross revenue from tourism expenditure in Costa Rica remains outside the country. Potential tortoiseshell exports from Cuba to Japan, would add up to 70% of revenue within the importing country.

The Southern African Development Community (SADC) consists of 15 countries, with 233 million inhabitants. Apart from Mauritius and the countries around South Africa in the Southern African Customs Union (SACU), the remaining countries exhibit low rates of electricity access and use of high quality fuels. Easy access to electricity and power increases the living standard and enables the development of additional services.

The Ministry of Environment, in collaboration with the Rwanda Housing Authority and in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has inaugurated the Rukumberi Green Village in Ngoma District.
Rukumberi Village was constructed in 2014 to relocate 57 households from high risk zones around the sector. The main objective was to resettle households as a way to improve access to basic services including electricity, water, schooling, healthcare, waste collection and more.
Rukumberi Village was later selected to be improved with the green village components through the Green Economy Programme under the Ministry of Environment, and supported by UNDP.
The green village components implemented in Rukumberi Village include biogas, rainwater tanks and biodegradable waste collection centre. These elements aim to address environmental challenges and improve the wellbeing and livelihood of the community.
This approach of resettling households in Green Villages is part of a national effort to move households to safer locations that are more resilience to the impacts of climate change.
HYPREP’s technical personnel visit the spiral separators, control room, and jigging machine at the Rümlang Soil and Gravel Washing Plant (ESAR).
In June 2019, UN Environment organized a technical training to build the technical capacity of the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP) and its technical personnel. From 11 to 21 June 2019, 21 members of HYPREP’s technical personnel received training on the management and assessment of contaminated land. The training included twelve theory modules followed by two days of field-based exercises and site visits to a soil treatment plant and a remediation site.
In 2018, the United Nations Environment Programme began a project to assist HYPREP to manage the clean-up of oil contamination in Ogoniland. Designed in response to a request from the Government, this project comes as an integral part of the United Nations Environment Programme’s continuing support to the Government of Nigeria to clean up the environmental contamination in Nigeria and achieve lasting peace in the region.

Our Environmental Monitor staff was invited to participate in Ohio Sea Grant's 7th annual writers workshop at Stone Laboratory on Lake Erie.
We were given a wide variety of presentations by scientists and researchers. Topics ranged from Lake Erie watersheds to renewable energies as universities and government agencies look to improve water quality in and around the lake. In between presentations, we were invited to explore Gibraltar Island.

For more than 30 years, David Suzuki has been THE voice for nature in Canada. David was born in Vancouver and at the age of six, during the Second World War, he was sent to a Japanese internment camp with his family. After the war, the Suzukis moved to Ontario. Growing up with a passion for nature led David to earn a PhD in zoology from the University of Chicago. Next, he moved back to Canada and started teaching at the University of British Columbia. He also started appearing on television to gain public support for science. By 1971, he had his own show right here on CBC. Eight years later, he debuted a little show called 'The Nature of Things.' David is no stranger to accolades. Al Gore praised him for challenging Canada's environment minster on this country's green plan. His series 'A Planet for the Taking' won an award from the United Nations. He's a companion of the Order of Canada. And he finished fifth in the CBC's search for 'The Greatest Canadian.' He's also authored 43 books. His latest one is called 'David Suzuki's Green Guide - a "how-to" guide to being a green citizen.
