Whenever #depleted #uranium (#DP) #ammunition is used, it leaves chemically and radiologically toxic residues.

Says #UNEP, the #UN's Environmental Programme.

See their flyer here:
https://www.unep.org/resources/report/unep-depleted-uranium-awareness

Using such ammunition on your own territory is basically an indirect warfare against yourself, with severe long-term consequences, without any chance of "cleaning up", afterwards.

4,1 millions d’hectares de forêt tropicale abattus en 2022, 10% de plus qu’en 2021
https://lareleveetlapeste.fr/41-millions-dhectares-de-foret-tropicale-abattus-en-2022-10-de-plus-quen-2021/

Inger Andersen, la directrice générale de l’ #UNEP, a estimé qu’il est important de soutenir les territoires qui abritent des forêts tropicale et de payer un prix adapté, un prix qui « reflète la vraie valeur des forêts, qui reflète le coût réel des émissions et qui est assez élevé pour encourager les vendeurs à protéger les forêts encore sur pied. »

How can we reduce plastic pollution? Some tips from the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) on reducing plastic waste and protecting the environment. Using reusable bags, bottles and containers, avoiding single-use plastics, recycling properly, joining clean-up campaigns and supporting policies that promote a circular economy. We need to change our consumption patterns and demand more sustainable products. #PlasticPollution #UNEP #CircularEconomy https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2023/06/reduce-plastic-pollution-unep/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

Twenty years ago, we began our partnership with UN Environment Programme to promote sustainable #fashion. Not everyone understood why back then—we hope it’s obvious now!

UNEP veröffentlicht 17-Jahres-Plan zur Reduzierung der Plastikverschmutzung um 80%

Eine neue Studie des UN-Umweltprogramms #UNEP zeigt, dass eine Reduktion des Plastikmülls um 80 Prozent bis zum Jahr 2040 möglich wäre. Dafür sind Veränderungen in der Produktion, Nutzung und Entsorgung von Kunststoffen erforderlich.

Happy to be back to the advisory meeting of #unep #eurobats. Lots of things to resolve to protect a highly vulnerable taxon, namely bats. For example, unregulated erection and operation of wind turbines across #Europe. Thousands of #bats collide with and die at wind turbines in Europe. We lose important ecosystem players, which adds to the biodiversity crisis. We need to do better and curtail the operation of turbines at times of high bat activity.

Did you know that the average human adult inhales and ingests about 163,000 microplastic particles per year?

Research indicates that human exposure to microplastics has reached our internal organs, including our lungs and liver.

Last week I was at #COP15 for #CanadianGeographic. Did a whack of interviews, saw a whack of sessions. Wrote this when I got home — a look at what the early implementation of the new Global #Biodiversity Framework might look like on the ground here at home. #UNEP https://canadiangeographic.ca/articles/the-promise-of-cop15/
