Fire is already Weakening the Worlds Carbon Sinks
As global temperatures hit 1.3°C, fires are already disrupting ecosystems and limiting their ability to absorb carbon. Climate policy must recognize how fires affect remaining carbon budgets as well as fires impact on people and the planet, even before reaching the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C target.
Unique Antibiotic Family
New antibiotics are a massive unmet need. The rise in antibiotic resistant bacteria is ever increasing such that antimicrobial resistance contributed to 5 million death last year, the next pandemic could be bacterial, and there are some conditions for which current antibiotics are ineffective.
How can we reduce the carbon footprint of cataract surgery pathways?
Our recently published paper considers the carbon saving that can be made by looking at key elements of an idealised patient pathway for cataract surgery and comparing it to current practice in England (1).
