 With profound sadness, we note the passing of our dear friend and colleague, **Jim McCarthy**, on December 11th after a protracted illness. Jim was a towering figure, whose impact as a scholar, policy advisor, and human being was extraordinary. The OEB community is greatly diminished by his loss, and we will all feel Jim’s absence deeply.

 Notable remebrances by the [Harvard Center for the Environment](http://environment.harvard.edu/remembering-jim-mccarthy) and [Union of Concerned Scientists](https://www.ucsusa.org/about/news/james-mccarthy-obituary).
