Greenhouse gasses are generated daily across Imerys by the consumption of energy that our activities require and the emissions generated by our chemical processes. Given the urgent need to tackle climate change, we decided 18 months ago to go one step further andadopt a courageous objective: to a...
Two key messages are here highlighted: (1) a "transfrontier" vision of ecoLearning and knowledge transfer/translation is needed.

Humans are dependent on the land for our very survival. If we can't farm, we don't eat. However, much of that precious soil is in danger due to human-amplified climate change, according to a new report. In its new report, the U.N. Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD)...
It's in this context that having a larger brain may offer alternatives that are not available to small-brained species, he said. "One of the first things that jumps out to me from these findings is that we can already see that climate change is having a disproportionate effect on species...
