Fascinating data from @OurWorldInData showing the majority of people worldwide support climate action. Yet this support is consistently underestimated and leads to a "perception gap" by governments and businesses. ourworldindata.org/climate-change… #ClimateChange #ClimateAction

"The uniform adoption of just four waste management policies around the world could eliminate more than 90 percent of the planet’s plastic waste..." @sharonudasin @thehill thehill.com/policy/energy-…

By 2050, the world is expected to generate more than enough plastic pollution to cover the entire island of Manhattan with a two-mile high mountain of plastic trash. nbcbay.com/BjjSY6d

💡A very cool investigative story from @nbcbayarea on the local impacts of plastic pollution & how DSE and @UCSBenioffOcean's new research provides a roadmap for solving this crisis worldwide! ➡️nbcbayarea.com/investigations… #EndPlasticPollution

DSE & @UCSBenioffOcean's research on plastic pollution is in @nytimes! Our findings show it's possible to nearly #EndPlasticPollution if leaders take action. All 👀 on the final plastics treaty negotiations in South Korea this week. #INC5 #PlasticsTreaty nytimes.com/2024/11/24/cli…

Our new research with @BerkeleyDataSci, @SchmidtDSE, and @UCSBenioffOcean can assist policymakers in their push to nearly end global plastic pollution. Read more about our latest study:

🌍 Our New Paper Offers a Roadmap to End Plastic Pollution 🌍 Excited to announce our paper published in Science: Pathways to reduce global plastic waste mismanagement and greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 Paper: bit.ly/3YSdscC

A new study in @ScienceMagazine finds that negotiators could nearly eliminate plastic pollution by 2050 with an international treaty. “But it does require ambition,” said A. Samuel Pottinger, @SchmidtDSE senior data scientist. (CC: @UCBerkeley) cdss.berkeley.edu/news/world-wit…

Thanks to DSE authors Sam Pottinger, @CieraReports, Magali de Bruyn, & Carl Boettiger alongside our expert team at UCSB! 🎉

This week DSE's growing team retreated to the stunning Marin County coast to eat good food and bond with new staff. One of us even surfed! Special thanks to @TMMC for the incredible tour and for all you to protect marine mammals & ocean health!🦭📷📷🏄‍♀️🧪

Magali de Bruyn is repping DSE at #COP16! Our team will convene a side event on Mon 10/28 to illuminate our work at the intersection of #TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge, #conservation, #DataScience, #AI, & #IndigenousDataSovereignty. Join the convo in Cali: dse.berkeley.edu/COP16
