🔔 Let's set the priorities straight & start aiming for #ZeroWaste instead of #SizeZero!

❤️ My humble contribution 👇

✅ >80% of my wardrobe is second-hand clothes

✅ I go shopping for clothes only when I need sth. concrete

✅I either donate the clothes I don't need or I reuse them in some other way.
The fashion industry generates 92M tonnes of waste yearly—equal to a truckload of clothes burned or landfilled per second.

This #ZeroWasteDay, the focus is on tackling waste in fashion & textiles.

🌍🌿 New BioAgora Research!

A new study titled "Transformative governance: Exploring theory of change & the role of the law" explores how law is perceived to tackle global environmental challenges & provides practical recommendations!

This is really cool!
Interesting attempt to build an AI agent-based research assistant to automate machine learning paper writing by acting as PhDs, post-docs, & professors working in a typical lab. It doesn't autonomously produce high-level work but it looks promising as a copilot for researchers cutting cost & effort.

A swift transition to zero waste and circular economy approaches is needed to tackle the projected increase in municipal waste.

Look back at this UNEP International Environmental Technology Centre, report launched at #UNEA6.

All eyes are set on today's #IPBES11 plenary.

Fingers crossed for the 2 assessments to be adopted, as it is incredibly important for scientific knowledge about #TransformativeChange & #Nexus of #biodiversity + 🗝️ socio-economic processes to be delivered to policy🤞
The penultimate day of #IPBES11 fluctuated between euphoria and despair

Overcoming many challenges, delegates agreed on the Nexus and #TransformativeChange Assessments and forwarded them to Monday’s plenary for consideration and potential adoption

Hooray! Goodbye, borders, goodbye, boundaries!
