The concept of 'the environment' really took hold in Africa in the 1990s. It came to the fore especially in the wake of the 'Earth Summit' in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This was a global event that gradually made the consideration of environmental issues in development policies a global leitmotif. In Africa, the evolution of the concept of environmental protection will also be marked by the continent's vulnerability to the effects of climate change.
Lake Constance forms a natural border between Germany, Austria and Switzerland - and its ecosystem is changing. Newly arrived aggressive residents include spiny-cheek crayfish, zebra mussels and killer shrimp. Will they displace native species?
This evidence snapshot represents just the tip of the iceberg of the many studies of climate change that have seen climate change transition from a scientific curiosity to a global environmental, socioeconomic, political, and technological grand challenge.
Pressing global challenges including the climate emergency, biodiversity loss, food security and future global health crises will require collaboration.
