La pollution est la destruction ou dégradation d’un écosystème ou de la biosphère par l’introduction, généralement humaine, d’entités (physiques, chimiques ou biologiques), ou de radiations altérant le fonctionnement de cet écosystème1. La pollution a des effets importants sur la santé et la biosphère, comme en témoigne l’exposition aux polluants et le réchauffement climatique qui transforme le climat de la Terre et son écosystème, en entraînant l’apparition de maladies inconnues jusqu’alors dans certaines zones géographiques, des migrations de certaines espèces, voire leur extinction si elles ne peuvent s’adapter à leur nouvel environnement biophysique.

EU officials warn climate breakdown and wildlife loss ‘are ruining ecosystems that underpin the economy’ […] The European way of life is being jeopardised by environmental degradation, a report has found, with EU officials warning against weakening green rules. The continent has made “important progress” in cutting planet-heating pollution, according to the European Environment Agency, but the death of wildlife and breakdown of the climate are ruining ecosystems that underpin the economy.
Heat caused 2,300 deaths across 12 cities, of which 1,500 were down to climate crisis, scientists say
Extreme heat ‘the new normal’, says UN chief, as authorities across the continent issue health warnings
Scientists say unusually mild temperatures linked to low-pressure system over Iceland directing strong flow of warm air towards north pole
Dangers of wildfires, extreme weather and other factors outgrowing preparedness, European Environment Agency says
Humanity faces ‘devastating domino effects’ including mass displacement and financial ruin as planet warms
UK has led the way, with countries across the continent making mass arrests, passing draconian new laws and labelling activists as eco-terrorists
Extreme weather is ‘smacking us in the face’ with worse to come, but a ‘tiny window’ of hope remains, say leading climate scientists
Link to climate activism is seven times stronger for anger than it is for hope, say Norwegian researchers
