Recently went to watch a demonstration of this robot carrying out a knee replacement (Private Hospital) @theJeremyVine @DrSarahJarvis luckily orthopaedic surgeon was in controlled 🤞

The majority of earth's scientists now believe we are headed for at least 2.5°C of warming. We're in a climate emergency. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables #go100re

Cities are turning into giant ovens, threatening millions of lives each year. Around the world, cities are turning to #GenerationRestoration efforts to create cooler, safer environments. With smart design, cities can #BeatTheHeat!

Glaciers look remote. Their impact is not. Nearly 70 percent of the world’s freshwater is stored in snow and ice, and the meltwater from mountain regions feeds rivers that support billions of people. As glaciers shrink, water becomes less predictable, affecting drinking supplies, farming, and energy far downstream. Mountain ranges are warming faster than the planet overall, and on Mount Kenya the last glaciers will be gone within the next three to five years. Protecting glaciers is not just about ice. It's about people, food, water, and stability. #UNEA7 @UNEP @theGEF 📷: Chris 73 / Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0

We are undergoing unprecedented loss of freshwater across the planet Rising temperatures are causing water to evaporate and driving humans to extract more groundwater, which is moving freshwater from the land to the seas and creating a “continental drying” trend newscientist.com/article/249000… docs.google.com/document/d/1EG…

Old phones, fridges or laptops don’t just disappear when tossed. The world generates 62 million tonnes of e-waste each year, enough to fill 1.5 million trucks. New regulations, circular design and better recycling can help stop the toxic tide and #BeatWastePollution: unep.org/news-and-stori…

Air pollution poses the greatest environmental health risk of our time, with airborne pollutants responsible for approximately one-third of deaths from heart attacks. Explore how UNEP works with governments, businesses & individuals to #BeatAirPollution: unep.org/beatpollution/…

With half of the global population under 30, young people are not just inheriting the planet but actively driving the transition to a sustainable future. See how UNEP engages young people to lead for a better future. unep.org/topics/youth-e…
