World’s Leading Aquatic Scientific Societies Urgently Call for Cuts to Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Dire consequences for freshwater and marine resources without significant and fast action

The Italian Association for Oceanology and Limnology (AIOL), the European Federation for Freshwater Sciences (EFFS) and all the federated societies, which bring together nearly 5,000 freshwater scientists across Europe, have actively participated in the preparation and refining of the statement by the American Fisheries Society (AFS), urgently calling for cuts to global greenhouse gas emissions.

The societies call for drastically curtailed global greenhouse gas emissions to avoid the worst impacts of man-made climate change to aquatic ecosystems and their ecosystem services that benefit humankind. Unless urgent action is taken to reduce emissions,fake uhren scientists predict catastrophic impacts on these and human health and global economies.
