We propose a new paradigm, as toxicology currently lacks the proper perspective. From the 1950s to the 1970s, at least one-third of all toxicological testing in the United States, including for chemicals and drugs, was misleading scientists, and this worldwide issue persists today. Moreover, petroleum-based waste and heavy metals have been discovered in pesticide and plasticizer formulations. These contaminations have now reached all forms of life. Widespread exposure to chemical mixtures promotes health and environmental risks. We discovered that pesticides have never undergone long-term testing on mammals in their full commercial formulations by regulatory authorities or the pesticide industry; instead, only their declared active ingredients have been assessed, contrary to environmental law recommendations. The ingredients of these formulations are not fully disclosed, yet the formulations are in general at least 1000 times more toxic at low environmentally relevant doses than the active ingredients alone u

Purpose Animal emissions account for nearly 60% of total greenhouse gas emissions from the livestock sector. To estimate these emissions, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) developed a dedicated module within the Global Livestock Environmental Assessment Model (GLEAM). Although previous studies have explored selected inputs for specific animals and emission types, a comprehensive analysis of all 92 inputs (parameters and emission factors) had not been conducted. This study aimed to identify the most influential inputs affecting ruminant emissions in GLEAM.

Le Rapport mondial sur la mise en valeur des ressources en eau fournit une évaluation complète et officielle de l’état général, de l’utilisation et de la gestion des ressources mondiales en eau douce et vise à fournir aux décideurs des outils pour formuler et mettre en œuvre des politiques durables de l’eau.

Le Premier ministre Alexander De Croo s'est adressé à l'Assemblée générale des Nations unies à New York.

The IPBES #PandemicsReport is one of the most scientifically robust examinations of the evidence and knowledge about links between pandemic risk and nature since the COVID-19 pandemic began - with 22 of the world's leading experts from fields as diverse as epidemiology, zoology, public health, disease ecology, comparative pathology, veterinary medicine, pharmacology, wildlife health, mathematical modelling, economics, law, and public policy as authors of the report. The expertise of the 22 authors was further augmented by contributions and knowledge resources from the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, and the World Health Organization - as well as a peer review process.

Le sixième rapport d'évaluation (RE6) du Groupe d'experts intergouvernemental sur l'évolution du climat (GIEC) des Nations unies s'inscrit dans une série de rapports destinés à évaluer et synthétiser les informations scientifiques, techniques et socio-économiques relatives au réchauffement climatique. Il conclura le « sixième cycle d’évaluation du climat » effectué par le GIEC1, décidé à sa 41e session (février 2015)2.

As a leading climate scientist, Paola Arias doesn’t need to look far to see the world changing. Shifting rain patterns threaten water supplies in her home city of Medellín, Colombia, while rising sea levels endanger the country’s coastline. She isn’t confident that international leaders will slow global warming or that her own government can handle the expected fallout, such as mass migrations and civil unrest over rising inequality. With such an uncertain future, she thought hard several years ago about whether to have children.

L'Organisation des Nations unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture (FAO), le Programme des Nations unies pour le développement (PNUD) et le Programme des Nations unies pour l'environnement (PNUE) estiment que 87 % des aides publiques annuelles aux producteurs agricoles nuisent à l’horizon 2030
