How dangerous are microplastics? | DW Documentary
Microplastics can be found everywhere: in snow up in the mountains, in our rivers - and in the air that we breathe. They comprise particles so minute that they can only be seen under a microscope. Professor Christian Laforsch and his team from the University of Bayreuth have devised their own customized instruments to track down #microplastics in water, the air and farmland soil. They also want to find out how dangerous they are for humans and our environment.

The number of people who stand to bear the brunt from climate change just got bigger.

According to a new estimate from the United Nations, 8 billion people are living on the planet now, up from 7 billion in 2010. Most of that growth is happening in poorer nations that have contributed the least to the #climate crisis — and yet are vulnerable to its impacts and lack the resources to adapt to a warming world.

Key to adaptation: sustainable, affordable energy.
