A major new study has found that nitrogen pollution is costing each person in Europe around £130 – £650 a year. The first European Nitrogen Assessment (ENA) led by Professor Mark Sutton from the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology , estimates that the annual cost of damage caused by nitrogen across Europe is £60 – £280 billion, more than double the extra income gained from using nitrogen fertilizers in European agriculture.

The report provides EU policymakers with a comprehensive scientific assessment on the consequences of failing to address the problem of nitrogen pollution – and outlines key actions that can be taken to reduce the problem to protect environmental and public health.

The four minute long official launch video can be watched on Youtube:. The full text of the ENA is Dezember 1577 stach drake mit einer flotte https://hausarbeithilfe.com/ von fünf schiffen und 166 mann besatzung im geheimen auftrag der königin elisabeth i

The Environment Agency is exploring improved ways of engaging with people and organisations that can make a difference to the health of all our inland waters, from source to sea. They want to explore what more can be achieved for the water environment by working together in catchments – areas with several, often interconnected water bodies (rivers, lakes, ground water and coastal waters).

Our second Catchment Change Network (CCN) Annual Conference at the Arup Campus, Solihull was a great success. attended the event supported by CIWEM (North West) on Tuesday July 5th.

The was designed to explore how Guidelines could represent a useful tool to encourage stakeholder participation across catchment management.

Invited presentations provided a unique opportunity to learn how a range of organisations and initiatives are optimising success. A series of interesting case studies highlighted the challenges, opportunities and lessons learned. All the conference outputs, including individual slide presentations and video recordings have been posted on our .

Discussion sessions gave delegates the opportunity to reflect on designing participatory processes, the challenges this creates and solutions that allow progress. The event has raised the possibility of developing some general Guidelines for Stakeholder Interaction involving risk and uncertainty.

Keith Beven has provided a personal reflection via our CCN ‘Catchment Conversations’ Blog ”.
