Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2023-523/ Over the 15 past years, leakages of millions of plastic biocarriers - supports for bacterial growth used in certain types of Wastewater Treatment Plants have been reported in riverine and marine environments. In most cases, the biocarriers are not recovered, contributing to the issue of global plastic pollution. The objective of this report is to develop guidelines for the safe management of biocarriers based on proven-effective existing technical solutions and management measures, with the overarching goal of preventing releases of biocarriers in the marine and riverine environments. A holistic approach, encompassing every step of the biocarriers’ life cycle, helped to identify possible improvements in production, transportation, storage, engineering, facility operation, and biocarrier disposal.

Women perform 66% of the world's work, produce 50% of the food, but earn 10% of the income and own 1% of the property. To shed light on why this grim statistic still holds true, Women, Business and the Law aims to examine legal differentiations on the basis of gender in 143 of the world's economies. Women, Business and the Law tracks governments' actions to expand economic opportunities for women across six key areas: accessing institutions, using property, getting a job, providing incentives to work, building credit and going to court. The report uncovers legal differentiations for women and married versus unmarried women such as being able to register a business, open a bank account and wo...

Les océans et les mers sont pollués par des quantités énormes de déchets marins, en particulier de produits à usage unique comme les sacs en plastique fins. Outre la lourde menace qu’il fait peser sur la biodiversité des écosystèmes marins et océaniques, ce phénomène alarmant entraîne un risque sanitaire pour l’homme et un manque à gagner pour les économies des zones littorales. Les multiples documents stratégiques et textes législatifs européens applicables aux déchets marins restent insuffisants pour apporter une réponse efficace. Dans la foulée du sommet de la terre de Rio+20, il apparaît donc indispensable d’adopter de nouvelles mesures à l’échelle communa...
