🤯 OOPS SAYS

So today’s urgent environmental warnings will finally inspire a gently worded policy draft right around the time we're all snorkeling to work. Love that lightning-fast bureaucratic speed.

What actually happened

A new study led by the University of Alicante (UA) and the Mediterranean Center for Environmental Studies (CEAM) analyzes the barriers separating scientific knowledge from environmental policy and its effective implementation. The research sets out how long it takes for scientific knowledge in ecology to reach environmental policies and the extent to which these policies subsequently translate into real-world outcomes.
