| Your guide to the top
environmental stories of the month
| |
| |
|
| | | | |
| This month we look at UNEP’s
achievements during 2020, whether the world is on
track for ‘adaptation’ and an ambitious drive to
map every coral reef on the
planet. |
| | | |
| In 2020, despite COVID-19, UNEP pushed
even harder to address the planetary
crises |
| In a Letter from the Executive
Director, UNEP head Inger Andersen highlights the
work UNEP and partners have done to address the
climate crisis, the biodiversity and nature
crisis, and the pollution and waste crisis, as
well as refocusing to deal with the immediate
environmental impacts of
COVID-19. |

| World needs to adapt better to
climate change: new
report |
| Many countries need to boost
adaptation measures to weather the devastating
impacts of climate change, warns a landmark UNEP
report. It finds that by 2030, developing
nations may need to spend $300 billion annually
to grapple with global
warming. |
| | |
| Inside the crusade to map every coral
reef on Earth |
| Home to one-quarter of all marine
species, coral reefs are being decimated by
climate change. Now, scientists are using
satellite imagery to chart – and save – these
underwater realms. |
| | | |
| | | |
| In the fight against climate change,
courts have become the new
battleground |
| A “tidal wave” of lawsuits is forcing
governments and businesses around the world to
reduce carbon emissions – and in some cases leave
oil in the ground. |
| | | |
| Nominations open for Champions of the
Earth |
| The UN's highest environmental honour
recognizes leaders from government, civil
society and the private sector whose actions
have a transformative impact on the environment.
Nominations for the 2021 cycle are now
open. |
| | |
| Restart 2021: how can we rise to the
challenge? |
| 2021 must be a year of synergy and
solidarity to deliver on the Paris Agreement,
Rio conventions and other global environmental
commitments, said Inger Andersen, calling for
‘inclusive
multilateralism’. |

life. |

Gap Report
2020 |
