Mangroves are one of the most efficient and effective natural tools for mitigating and adapting to global change in tropical and subtropical coasts. This seminar series thus focuses on the environmental impacts on, and mangrove response to, global change and on the outcomes of restoration and improved capacities of mangroves to mitigate pressures from global change.
Of the 7 billion tonnes of plastic waste produced globally, less than 10% has been recycled (UNEP). While there is a huge problem with plastic waste generally, more recently researchers have begun to identify problems associated with microplastics, i.e. very small particles of plastic that are either released directly to the environment or are formed in situ.
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are vulnerable to the environmental impacts of tourism, industrial development, urbanization and agriculture, as well as climate change.
