EurASc – CAS joint action

In 2021-2022, the European Academy of Sciences (www.eurasc.org) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (https://english.cas.cn) worked together on Ocean-based climate actions.

The two academies report that, as a consequence of anthropogenic perturbations, the global ocean is warming, acidifying, losing oxygen and sea ice, and sea level is rising. While drastic reduction of the emission of greenhouse gases is urgently needed, which includes ocean energy substitution for fossil energy, we show that the ocean offers numerous opportunities to reduce the causes and consequences of climate change, globally and locally. A wide range of ocean-based measures to enhance societal climate adaptation are currently implemented worldwide to deal either with coastal risks or changes in ocean resources. Ocean-related measures should not be considered as a substitute for climate mitigation on land or non ocean-based adaptation measures, which must be strongly pursued for the benefit of the atmosphere, the ocean, and socio-ecological systems worldwide.”

FRAUD – Internet scammers use Professor Martins’s name by email and ask for money

Dear Academician,

It was recently brought to our attention that some scammers use the name of the Professor Martins and an email address close to his (not exactly the same but close enough to fool you if you are not careful).

This is a FRAUD.

Please, do never accept transferring money.

We thank you for your understanding and remain at your disposal for any further information.

Sincerely yours,

EurASc admin team
