Phosphorus and the Climate Crisis: Why We Should Care?

Phosphorus is a key element for life on Earth, but it can also have devastating effects on the environment when it accumulates in water bodies. In this episode, we explore the complex relationship between phosphorus and climate change, and how it affects the health of ecosystems. We are joined by three experts who share their insights and perspectives on this topic: Phil Haygarth, a professor of soil and water science at Lancaster University, UK; Laura Johnson, director of the National Center for Water Quality Research at Heidelberg University, US; and Patricia Glibert, a professor of marine science at the University of Maryland, US. They discuss the sources and impacts of phosphorus pollution, the challenges and opportunities for managing phosphorus in a changing climate, and the potential solutions.  Join us as we delve into the complex and urgent issue of phosphorus and the climate crisis.
