Scientists Reporting: Top 25 Recent Online Reports on the Global Environmental Emergency

Earth scientists and biologists have much to say about the changing state of nature. Many of them join together in important collective reports, available free online, but too often ignored. It may well be even more powerful to assemble brief information on an array of these scientists' reports. To illustrate, abstracts of some two dozen reports, nearly all published in 2018 or 2019, are arranged in six categories: 1) Climate, Health, and Energy (IPCC, ICIMD, IEA, etc.); 2) Land and Seas (IPBES, IUCN, NOAA, etc); 3) Biodiversity, Food, and Water (IPBES again, WWF, FAO, UNESCO); 4) Agendas for Action (SDSN/SDGs, SRC/ CoR, GCAS, IRC); and 5) Overviews (UNEP, WEF, GCF). Concludes with several questions raised by this exploratory exercise.
