A report examining the latest published and non-published data around unexpected emissions of HFC-23, a synthetic fluorochemical greenhouse gas with a Global Warming Potential of 14,700 over a 100-year period. The report was produced to coincide with discussions about HFC-23 at the 36th Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol.
Action under the Montreal Protocol has contributed to climate change mitigation for almost 35 years. The phase-out of ozone-depleting substances (ODS) has set the ozone layer on a path to recovery, protecting the world’s biosphere from harmful ultraviolet radiation. The 2016 Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol is expected to avoid 5.6–8.7 gig...
The United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) recently adopted a resolution with a mandate to negotiate a new international legally binding instrument (a treaty) on plastic pollution. The mandate includes the need to ‘prevent’ as well as ‘reduce’ and ‘eliminate’ plastic pollution through a ‘comprehensive approach that addresses the full life cycle...
Global in its distribution and pervading all levels of the water column, marine debris poses a serious threat to marine habitats and wildlife. For cetaceans, ingestion or entanglement in debris can cause chronic and acute injuries and increase pollutant loads, resulting in morbidity and mortality. However, knowledge of the severity of effects lags...
Illegal, large-scale driftnets continue to be used in the Mediterranean. Port inspection visits were conducted in three countries, Italy, Albania and Tunisia, in 2013. These indicated that illegal driftnetting continues in Albania and Tunisia, with unconfirmed indications of illegal activity also documented in Italy. With the recent public and poli...
Two stocks of Dall's porpoise are exploited off the coast of Japan in hand harpoon hunts. The International Whaling Commission's Scientific Committee have expressed extreme concern regarding these populations, recommending a reduction in the catch to pre-1986 levels of around 10,000 porpoises. The 1997 catch numbered more than 18,000 porpoises, exc...
The physiological and behavioural effects of anthropogenic noise may be detrimental to cetacean populations world-wide. Evidence indicates that some cetaceans are exposed to high levels of anthropogenic noise over a large percentage of important habitats. There is a lack of understanding of the short and long term consequences of this exposure to n...
