EMBL attended COP26 as Observer --- EMBL, sister organization of EMBO, released a white paper "Harnessing molecular biology to accelerate the Green Recovery", leveraging molecular biology for 4 research areas: global warming, loss of biodiversity, biogeochemical flows, manufactured pollutants. [https://www.embl.org/documents/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/WhitePaper_All4Climate_EMBL_Oct21.pdf] This loosely falls under pillar 2 "Environmentally Relevant Research", other two being - "Environmentally Responsbile Research" and "Promoting Sustainable Science" of EMBL Sustainability Strategy.
