The ocean is in a way the final victim of multiple planetary crises - nutrient pollution, excess heat, rising CO₂. This has to be turned around. The ocean will ultimately determine whether we secure a livable future for humanity. weforum.org/videos/earth-p…

Finland’s climate policy relies on forest carbon sinks, but the sink has collapsed. In the past three years, Finland’s forests became a net source, proving they can't offset fossil emissions. Carbon accounting must stay separate. Read more on LinkedIn. linkedin.com/pulse/forest-c…

The ocean is our planet’s life support system. Yet we are failing to protect it. Ahead of #UNOC3, my colleagues and I write in nature calling for the permanent protection of international waters from fishing, seabed mining, and oil and gas extraction. nature.com/articles/d4158…

“What we know from the science is that unless we halve emissions by 2030, we’re not going to be able to get anywhere close to the Paris Agreement’s limit.” “Overshooting the Paris Agreement’s 1.5 °C target would be a very serious political failure.” oneearthnow.org/p/rates-of-war…

Still measuring physical activity snapshots over a few days or a week? The latest wearable devices can obtain measurements over weeks and months, why not analyse longitudinal data instead? ijbnpa.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… Centre for Nutrition, Exercise and Metabolism KiActiv
