Message-ID: <94E106856883440C8E3F3A80ED37909D@lewpostnew> Experts estimate fewer than 20 of these rare animals are alive in the wild. Red Wolves Are The World's Most Endangered Wolves. And They're on the Brink of Extinction Sign Now Red wolves are the rarest canine in the world - and now they're nearly extinct. Experts estimate there are fewer than 20 left in the wild, 14 of which are confirmed and collared by conservationists. The U.S. government's Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) must take action now to save these important wolves before it's too late! Red wolves closely resemble coyotes, so hunters frequently shoot and kill them. Approximately one-third of wolves that researchers reintroduced to the wild this year were shot! Despite hundreds of shootings of these increasingly endangered animals over the past 25 years, authorities have not prosecuted a single individual for red wolf poaching. Clearly, the USFWS must step up its efforts to protect this majestic, cherished wolf. The USFWS must commit more resources to protect rare red wolves from extinction! Sign the petition now if you agree! Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Federal agencies should be doubling down on conservation efforts to better protect the red wolves that remain and continue to improve reintroduction programs. Sign the petition.

Protect The Arctic Fox and Other Canid Populations! Sign Now The arctic fox is a beloved species, iconic for its crisp-white fur and impossibly cute face. And while this fox in particular is not endangered, five other closely related species in the canidae family are. Protecting these species is essential for entire ecosystems around the world - and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) should commit to continuing its conservation efforts! Canids play a vital role in the ecosystems they're a part of. That's why scientists have been working so hard to reintroduce species to the wild, to help maintain balance and healthy biodiversity. But like so many other mammals around the world, these animals are experiencing the stressors of a world rocked by climate change and other environmental crises. The vital progress that dedicated conservationists have made could quickly reverse if conservation organizations do not continue to prioritize Canid protection in the future. Sign now to tell the IUCN to continue its efforts to protect the arctic fox and its Canid relatives from extinction! Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S.

Anna Ackermann is board member at the Ukrainian NGO Ecoaction ? Centre for Environmental Initiatives. Once home to 14,000 people, the small coal-mining town of Vuhledar in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine lies in ruins. For months, the town has been the focus of successive Russian assaults. Prior to the war most of its residents worked in nearby coal mines and factories, but like many of Ukraine?s occupied and frontline coal towns, energy, water and other critical infrastructure has been destroyed, and the mines irreversibly flooded. Ukrainians Shift to Renewable Power for Energy Security amid War It?s not easy to talk about climate change and carbon-free power when your country is a battlefield. That?s the hard reality environmental advocates and clean energy companies have confronted in Ukraine in the wake of the Russian invasion. But they say renewable energy has nonetheless gained wider public support as a reliable power source amid fighting that has spurred rolling blackouts. ?War, it seems for us, created a new understanding of renewables and maybe also created new possibilities for further development of renewables,? said Artem Semenyshyn, executive director of the Solar Energy Association of Ukraine. Ukraine?s leading campaigner against Russian fossil fuels refused entry to top US energy conference A Ukrainian lawyer, who founded the war-torn country?s leading campaign against Russian fossil fuels, has been refused entry to the world?s most prominent energy summit. Svitlana Romanko travelled from her home in Ivano-Frankivsk, western Ukraine, in late February to Houston, Texas to attend CERAWeek, an annual summit which attracts the heads of major oil and gas companies and industry bodies along with senior government officials. CERAWeek speakers this year included both John Kerry, the special presidential envoy for climate, ExxonMobil chief executive Darren Woods, and the Cop28 climate summit president, Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, who is also CEO of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company. Irpin will receive mobile solar power plants for a school and a hospital The Irpin community will receive two mobile solar power plants by the Ukrainian company Knes for the Kozynets Outpatient Clinic of Family Medicine and the Irpin Lyceum of Innovative Technologies. The panels have been purchased through the help of the Finnish non -governmental organization Ekoenergy Label, reports "Ukrainian Wind Energy Association" on Facebook. It is noted that the WWEA World Wind Energy Association and the Global100re Global Platform have launched a Renewables4UKRAINE campaign to collect funds for buying and transferring equipment to Ukraine, in particular, autonomous solar systems. As part of the program, people from all over the world are raising money to help Ukraine. Ekoenergy Label joined the campaign. Kazakhstan bullish on oil exports despite fallout of war Astana is upbeat about boosting oil exports, despite caveats over how the war in Ukraine may impact markets and questions about its recently launched shipments to Europe. Kazakhstan plans to increase oil supplies via its main export pipeline to Russia by over a third by the end of next year, Energy Minister Bolat Akchulakov said this week during an industry conference in Texas. That is fighting talk given the troubles that have beset the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, whose supplies were halted four times last year. Official explanations for the disruptions have not convinced skeptics, who believe Moscow is using the CPC as political leverage over Kazakhstan to coerce it (unsuccessfully) to support Russia?s war in Ukraine. Russia?Ukraine war: household energy costs worldwide have nearly doubled, with the poorest hit hardest A new study measures the effect of the Russia-Ukraine war on household energy costs worldwide. It?s nearly doubled, explain Klaus Hubacek, Jin Yan and Yuru Guan at the University of Groningen and Yuli Shan at the University of Birmingham. Their study sums the costs of direct energy like heating, cooling, lighting and mobility, as well as the indirect costs through the energy used to produce goods and services. That doubling translates into an overall increase in global household expenditure of between 2.7% and 4.8%. That?s a big change. And those numbers vary greatly when you look at individual nations and households. EU energy chief tells companies not to sign new Russian LNG deals European Union countries and companies should not sign new contracts to buy Russian liquefied natural gas, as part of the bloc's attempt to end its energy dependence on Moscow, the EU's energy policy chief said on Thursday. Russia curbed gas supplies to Europe last year following its invasion of Ukraine, causing an energy crisis of squeezed supplies and record-high prices. The EU has vowed to quit Russian fossil fuels by 2027, and replaced around two-thirds of Russian gas last year. "We can and should get rid of Russian gas completely as soon as possible, still keeping in mind our security of supply," EU energy commissioner Kadri Simson told a meeting of EU lawmakers on Thursday. Putin the Green? The united consequences of Russia?s energy war on Europe After Russia?s February 24, 2022, re-invasion of Ukraine, all eyes turned to the brutal spectacle of Europe?s largest war since 1945. Yet, Russia?s ill-fated attempt to assert its sphere of influence in Europe has not been confined to a single battlefield. While the situation remains dynamic, at the start of 2023, it appears that Russia has lost its energy war on Europe. Within a year, Europe has substantially reduced its dependency on Russian fossil fuels, while prices, which quadrupled at the outset of the war, fell back to pre-war levels. Not only has Russia?s energy war on Europe been unsuccessful, but it may have the unintended consequence of accelerating Europe?s energy transition over the long term. Attempting to win recognition as Putin the Great by uniting the Slavic lands of Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin may be hailed instead as Putin the Green, the man who convinced Europe to give up dependence on fossil fuels. Regional and world news CAN EECCA announces call for application for ?Climate Dialogues? project Climate Dialogues is a project which aims to increase capacities of climate activists/experts in EECCA region as trainers through providing learning sessions on climate change, energy efficiency with decolonizing and gender justice perspectives as well as soft skills practices. Upon the arrival after the first event in Georgia, Tbilisi participants are expected to conduct trainings/learning sessions on selected topics in their communities. Who is Climate Dialogues for? Climate Dialogues is for anyone trying to make a positive change on climate policy/action in their community, society or country. This includes but isn?t limited to: civil activists, campaigners, content creators etc. Why Kazakhstanis are against construction of a nuclear power plant in Uzbekistan Uzbekistan plans to build a nuclear power plant 40 km from the border with Kazakhstan and the country's most populous Turkestan region. Construction is planned in the Jizzakh region on the shores of Lake Tuzkan. Next to it, just a few tens of kilometers away, is the Shardara reservoir - a source of drinking water for the whole city, as well as a reservoir of strategic importance, located on the transboundary Syrdarya River. The human factor should not be discounted either. The recent breakthrough of the Sardoba reservoir occurred due to poor technical conditions. At the same time, everything was fine in the reports. Therefore, it is possible that in the event of an earthquake, the nuclear power plant may be damaged, which will lead to the leakage of radioactive material. If this happens, then large densely populated agglomerations of the country, which includes the capital of Uzbekistan will fall into the radiation impact zone. Azerbaijan?s inspirational mega energy projects in service of European nations A number of mega-projects implemented by Azerbaijan over recent years have yielded very successful results, elevating it to the status of a central energy hub for Europe. Azerbaijan's rich energy resources and Europe's drive for diversification of its own supplies are key elements that have pushed Baku to lead the way for the construction of now operational oil and gas pipelines from the Caspian region to the heart of the shilly-shallying Europe at a time when the relations between Moscow and Brussels were not at the lowest ebb. Now that the relations between the Kremlin and the West have further deteriorated in the wake of the war in Ukraine, Baku's determination to have independent access to international markets via friendly regional nations has led to the fruition and the number of European nations purchasing Azerbaijani natural resources, in particular, gas is on the rise. Georgia: Climate change camp for women and youth CENN, within the EU-funded Georgia Climate Action Project, in cooperation with partner organisations, is announcing a call for women and youth to participate in a thematic climate change camp. The camp will be held at the Bulachauri Green Centre on 3-8 April. The camp aims to mobilize local communities to mainstream climate change issues at municipal and regional levels. Camp participants will receive thematic training on human rights-based approach, climate change, its causes, climate change mitigation and effective adaptation, effective management of water resources, and energy efficiency. As a result of the camp, participants, together with leaders, will develop four joint initiatives to promote youth and women?s activism in the field of climate change and empower youth and women to address climate change issues at the local and regional levels. Why I?m fighting for action on climate change Doha Khan is a climate campaigner who co-founded the South Australian branch of School Strike 4 Climate at the age of 16. Now studying medicine at Adelaide University, she appears in the documentary Women and the Power of Activism airing on SBS VICELAND, which follows a group of young female Aussie activists. Here, Khan talks about subverting stereotypes and fighting for the future we all need. My activism began in my teens. Social media and the 24-hour news cycle meant I was hearing day after day the impacts of climate change. The lack of action of governments across the world really motivated me, and the fact that I was not able to vote, even though I knew so much about the legal system, meant I was just a bit pissed off. So when there was a chance to get involved in something intended to shake up the political discourse, I leapt on it. EU agrees to push for worldwide phaseout of fossil fuels at COP28 European Union countries have agreed to push for the global phaseout of fossil fuels at COP28. It is part of the bloc?s promise to support and accelerate the energy transition ahead of the climate summit in Dubai this November. Faced with climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution and the fallout of Russia?s attack on Ukraine, the EU says that our dependence on fossil fuels leaves us vulnerable. Market volatility and geopolitical risk as well as the environmental and climate impacts of emissions-spewing fossil fuels are all grave concerns. ?The shift towards a climate neutral economy will require the global phase-out of unabated fossil fuels,? the Council stated in a text released on Thursday. Fossil fuel use should peak in the near future if we are to reach net zero, it adds, while acknowledging a transitional role for natural gas. New idea for sucking up CO2 from air shows promise A new way of sucking carbon dioxide from the air and storing it in the sea has been outlined by scientists. The authors say that this novel approach captures CO2 from the atmosphere up to three times more efficiently than current methods. The warming gas can be transformed into bicarbonate of soda and stored safely and cheaply in seawater. The new method could speed up the deployment of carbon removal technology, experts say. While the world has struggled to limit and reduce emissions of carbon dioxide in recent decades, several companies have instead focussed on developing technology to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Vulnerable nations set up alliance to prepare loss and damage action plans A group of least developed countries and small island states have joined forced with researchers to better support communities recover from climate damages. Nepal, Bangladesh, Senegal, Malawi, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Tonga and Vanuatu are exploring setting up national facilities to channel resources for climate disasters response and disburse money where it is most needed. The initiative will help communities inform governments on how to respond to future climate shocks from a local perspective. The alliance is being supported by the International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD) in Bangladesh, and the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) in the UK.

The Doomsday Clock was created by scientists to symbolise the urgent dangers to human civilisation, and our proximity to "midnight" -- in other words, our destruction. It's now at 90 seconds to midnight -- the closest it's ever been. We are boiling our planet and shattering the temple of life. Nuclear war is suddenly a real threat, and millions are fleeing unliveable heat, drought, and famine. But it's not too late. We just asked Avaazers everywhere to help set our priorities at this critical time, and now have a bold plan of action for this year. If we raise enough, we will: a.. Go all out for the Amazon -- mobilising millions of people to fight alongside Indigenous communities to win new protections and end illegal logging and mining; b.. Fight the world?s worst oil pipeline -- we'll organise to stop a planet-cooking pipeline in East Africa, and unite to help end the age of fossil fuels; c.. Defend democracy -- together we'll campaign to protect democracy from far-right threats, safeguard human rights, and make our voices heard in crucial elections; d.. Demand governments tax corporations and the super-rich, freeing up funds to reduce inequality and power the transition to renewable energy; e.. And respond at lightning speed to shocking world events, like wildfires, earthquakes, and deadly famine, mobilising millions of dollars to support those who need it most. We have to stop the clock. But we need you with us. Everything Avaaz does is 100% funded by people like you -- and if 20,000 of us make a small weekly donation, we can mount an almighty defence for humanity and the planet. We simply have to. For the world of our dreams, for our children, and for all life on Earth, chip in what you can now: I'LL DONATE ?1 WEEKLY I'LL DONATE ?2 WEEKLY I'LL DONATE ?3 WEEKLY OTHER AMOUNT Urgent global change is now a matter of survival, and time is running out. Yet fossil fuel profits are soaring, global tensions are rising, and our societies have never been more unequal. Scientists are also warning that total ecosystem collapse is "inevitable", if we don't reverse the extinction crisis. But another world is still within reach. One where we protect our beautiful planet, thrive in harmony with nature, and turn our backs on war, for good. We can get there -- but with deadlines this urgent, we need a surge of people-power unlike anything we've done before. Avaaz is fiercely independent of any government or corporate funding. It ensures we can campaign on the most critical issues, without fear or favour. Everything we do is thanks to Avaaz members around the world. You. Let's bring this plan to secure our future to life! If ever there was a moment for people-power to change the world, it is now. Donate what you can: I'LL DONATE ?1 WEEKLY I'LL DONATE ?2 WEEKLY I'LL DONATE ?3 WEEKLY OTHER AMOUNT Avaaz has been at the forefront of efforts to protect our planet and secure action on the climate crisis since our founding 15 years ago. Over that time, the threats have grown, and so has the urgency. Let?s make sure our campaigns and impact grow too -- while there is still time to act. With fierce hope and determination, Mike, Bert, Kaitlin, Camille, Adela and the whole Avaaz team If you're still mulling this over, here are 5 reasons to support Avaaz: 1..

MAC Cosmetics is Torturing Animals Even Though This Type of Testing Is No Longer Required Sign Now Burning chemicals dripped into rabbits' eyes. Unsafe agents rubbed onto the bare, raw skin of shaved guinea pigs. Poisonous products shoved down the throats of terrified mice. These are the realities of cosmetics animal testing which, until recently, was strictly required for products sold on the Chinese market. But since 2014, restrictions on cosmetics sales have been easing there. Now, if companies sell "general" cosmetics (skincare, hair care, nail care, makeup, and fragrances), they have the option to opt out of animal testing! Many companies quickly took the chance to adopt more compassionate practices, freeing defenseless animals from lives of captivity and torture. But MAC Cosmetics has yet to change its testing policies and procedures. Apparently a change in the law isn't enough to convince MAC to show some mercy for innocent animals, but our collective voice might just be loud enough to make them listen. Add your name and voice to the petition telling MAC Cosmetics: it is time to go cruelty-free! End animal testing now! Thank you, Lauren Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Eased restrictions on cosmetics animal testing mean that companies can easily go cruelty-free. Demand MAC Cosmetics stop needlessly torturing animals.

Sweden Is Planning to Let Trophy Hunters Massacre Hundreds of Vulnerable Lynx This Spring Sign Now Lynx populations are on the decline all throughout Europe. Experts warn they will likely become "locally extinct" within the next three decades if governments do not implement immediate conservation measures. But instead of protecting this increasingly threatened species, the Swedish government has given hunters license to butcher hundreds of these animals this spring. Sign the petition to demand the Swedish government shut down this cruel hunt and protect the lynx! This comes just weeks after Sweden held the largest killing of wolves in its country in modern memory. Why is Sweden giving out these hunting licenses? Apparently, for fun. According to Svenska J??garef??rbundet of the Swedish hunters' association: "The hunt is absolutely not linked to any danger to humans. The lynx hunt is more about the excitement, and for some hunters, of course, the skin is the motivation." That means this hunt is also in violation of European Union regulations. The Swedish government must revoke these hunting licenses now, and instead pass measures to increase protections for the lynx! Sign the petition before it's too late! Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. It is disgusting and cruel for Swedish officials to cater to trophy hunters like this. Sign the petition.

Deforestation in the Amazon is Threatening Adorable Capybaras! Sign Now The Amazon Rainforest is best known as the lush, wildly biodiverse giant forest that helps regulate our planet's climate. But if deforestation continues at this rate, the rainforest will no longer be a rainforest at all -- it will literally turn into a dry savannah. And if savannization happens, thousands of land mammals, including the beloved capybara, will lose their essential habitat. Luckily, a new law could help save the capybara by preventing U.S. contributions to Amazonian deforestation! Sign now to tell Congress to finally pass the FOREST Act to stop U.S. contributions to deforestation in the Amazon! While capybaras are beloved, and many people care about their conservation, they are at high risk for species impacts if deforestation in the Amazon continues. The FOREST Act would help stop illegal deforestation by prohibiting any products linked to illegal deforestation from entering the U.S., let alone being sold here.

Message-ID: <62A0B60D543F445AB9D25A54B2945FC1@evol.sp.ru> ** The Land Belongs to Its Defenders ------------------------------------------------------------ For generations, more than sixty Indigenous Amazonian communities have been living in concert with their ancestral lands in Cuatro Cuencas, a remote corner of Peru?s Loreto region, drawing their cultural lives and livelihoods from their rivers and forests. But beneath their land lies Peru?s most important oil field. Oil activities started in 1970, and the situation continued to worsen in the year 2000 when the Peruvian government granted regional extraction rights to Dutch oil company Plus Petrol. Indigenous communities were not consulted prior to the onset of oil operations, and have not received compensation for the use of their lands. Instead, they have been poisoned for over two decades. On March 21st, the people of Loreto will seek reparations in recognition of the harm caused by the Peruvian State and PlusPetrol. The right to a clean and healthy environment is a human right. Land rights are human rights. Join us as we #StandWithLoreto in their fight for environmental justice. Join the Indigenous Leaders in solidarity. #StandWithLoreto and send a message to support the Apus on this historic lawsuit.

News of the world environment NEWSLETTER | MARCH 17, 2023 Helping Hands that Feed Berries have been on my mind a lot lately. It started with a feature story I edited for our spring magazine about how Europe?s demand for year-round berries is fueling an ecological disaster in the arid southern reaches of Spain and Portugal as farmers suck aquifers dry. (Keep your eye out for the online version of the article, which we?ll be publishing later this month.) The story got me thinking about my own berry consumption, and what environmental footprint it might have, particularly in the off season. It even got me attempting to explain seasonality to my berry-loving toddler during a recent grocery store trip ? albeit not successfully. Soon after, a press release landed in my inbox announcing the Environmental Working Group?s annual Dirty Dozen list of produce most contaminated with pesticides. As has been the case for several years now, strawberries top the list of conventional fruits and vegetables with the highest pesticide load. This year, blueberries also joined them in the top 12. The list serves as a reminder that the chemicals we put on our crops impact not only the soil and water, but also our health. And then, last weekend, the California farmworker community of Parajo suffered massive flooding when the Pajaro River levee broke following yet another heavy storm. The unincorporated area in Monterey County is known especially for its strawberry crops and is home to some 2,000, mostly low-income, farmworkers who had to evacuate in a hurry. The majority remain displaced, and many have lost their jobs since local fields are too waterlogged for growing. While aid and emergency supplies are flowing into the area, many of the farmworkers are undocumented, meaning they are not eligible for the same type of aid as US citizens. This tragedy could have been avoided: Officials have known since as far back as the 1960s that the Pajaro levee was vulnerable, but chose not to act because they determined the costs of upgrading the levee outweighed the benefits of protecting a low-income farming community. (To learn more about the farmworkers' plight in Pajaro, tune into Journal Editor Maureen Nandini Mitra?s Terra Verde podcast.) The through line here may be berries, but the takeaway for me is much deeper: It?s time to reckon with our broken food system. Where we grow our food matters. How we grow it matters. And how we treat those growing it matters most of all.

This spring, The Story of Stuff Project is a hive of constant motion, producing storytelling projects that take on the plastics crisis, e-waste, fast fashion and more. Here?s what we?ll be sharing with you ? and asking you to share with your friends and family ? in the coming months! A Hard Hitting Short Documentary: Burning Injustice A subject in Story of Stuff?s Burning Injustice explains why a mega polluting incinerator was built in his community in California?s Central Valley: ?They did this by design. It?s because we?re Latino, we?re Spanish-speaking. It?s because we?re a [low-income] farm working community, and it?s because it?s environmental racism basically.? Burning Injustice is about a grassroots, multigenerational effort to close Covanta Stanislaus, one of California?s two remaining incinerators, and usher in a just transition for the community ? one that invests in a zero waste future. As the Ohio derailment disaster made clear, plastic is deadly at every stage of its lifecycle, from when the oil and gas leave the well head to its end of life in landfills, incinerators and the environment. In fact, burning plastic creates new, super toxins ? like dioxin, the most toxic man made substance known. Burning Injustice profiles a community on the verge of victory as they seek to shut down the incinerator for good. The film will be accompanied by an engagement campaign developed in concert with the campaign partners, which will focus on a secondary target: the corporate clients in Covanta?s misleading Zero Waste to Landfill initiative. Spoiler alert: they burn it. Talking Heads on Key Issues Story of Stuff is known for breaking down opaque topics into digestible stories that stick, and that?s what the explainer videos we?ve got lined up intend to do. First up, we break down the Global Plastics Treaty in advance of the next round of negotiations in May. We?re planning an Earth Week release of the video to boost our movement?s advocacy for a strong treaty. We?re also tackling electronics ? the world?s fastest growing waste stream and an imminently solvable problem, if we rethink some elements of design and embrace the right to repair. Something else we?re too quick to throw away is our clothes, and we?ll take a look at the monumental costs of cheap, fast fashion, and its alternatives. Lastly, we?re wrapping production on our (very) successful Solving Plastic series, which reached over a million viewers with solutions to the plastics crisis that really work, and ramping up our storytelling in support of the Reuse Revolution, a global campaign being organized with partners in Break Free from Plastic around the world. We?ve been busy ? and we hope you?re looking forward to these upcoming releases as much as we are! All the best, The Story of Stuff Team The Story of Stuff Project runs on donations from people like you.

A Young Elephant Is Fighting for Her Life in a Tiny Zoo. Free Noor Jehan! Sign Now A young African elephant named Noor Jehan is suffering due to subpar care at Karachi Zoo in Pakistan. Experts say 17-year-old Noor Jehan needs to be relocated to Safari Park immediately for proper care. So why won't the zoo relocate her? Sign the petition to demand that officials at Karachi Zoo send Noor Jehan to Safari Park wildlife sanctuary! The poor elephant has been cooped up in a tiny yard alongside a cage where, previously, humans forced her to provide rides for children. By now, she is in so much pain that she has begun limping. Her prison does not even include any trees, bushes, shrubs, or watering holes. Nor does it include toys or items that would ensure social or intellectual enrichment. Last year, an expert veterinarian crew arrived to assess the elephants in Karachi, and recommended they be moved to the Safari Park sanctuary. Nearly a year later, Noor Jehan and Madhubala ??? the other elephant at Karachi Zoo ??? still remain neglected in their poor living conditions. Sign the petition to urge Karachi Zoo to finally give Noor Jehan the life of healing that she deserves. Officials must send her and her companion to Safari Park wildlife sanctuary immediately! Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. The conditions at Karachi Zoo are detrimental to the mental and physical needs of elephants, including the long-suffering Noor Jehan. Sign the petition.

What happens when we let nature back in View this email in your browser The call of the wild Rewilding has long been a popular topic among Positive News readers. And as the movement has grown ? once a germinating seed, now a veritable meadow of unfurling spring buds ? the stories we?ve unearthed have also grown in depth, breadth and colour. Today, for World Rewilding Day, we?re sharing some of our favourite rewilding stories. From the scientists who rewilded a field 60 years ago (before the term even existed), to the ?mini forest? revolution sweeping the UK, we hope you enjoy these stories of nature coming back, in all its glory. They not only offer examples of what nature is capable of when left to flourish, but what humans can do when we set intentions. The residents of the once-declining declining Scottish town of Langholm are a case in point ? they grabbed hold of a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create the country?s most ambitious rewilding project, and are now restoring an entire ecosystem at scale. Happy reading ? we hope that, wherever you are, you?re able to experience a little bit of nature today. Sarah LaBrecque Editorial team Your favourite rewilding stories The plan to restore Britain?s lost rainforests On a soggy walk through a regenerated British rainforest, we learn about the mission to revive these forgotten ecosystems Sixty years ago, scientists let a farm field rewild ? here?s what happened The Monks Wood Wilderness experiment in England was a rewilding study before the term existed. This is what we can learn from it Video: Bison roam England again for the first time in thousands of years After a prolonged absence, the animals were released in Kent last summer to boost biodiversity and tackle the climate crisis The town that pulled off Britain?s most ambitious rewilding project The against-all-odds tale of a declining Scottish town that bought a moorland off a Duke ? and started rewilding it In pictures: sowing sea meadows in the UK to fight climate change Millions of seagrass seeds are being planted around the British Isles to capture carbon and boost biodiversity Good news is natural: support regenerative news today There?s no natural law that news should be about what?s going wrong ? it?s a choice, driven by an ?if it bleeds, it leads? culture in journalism. In the same way that nature in its wild state is a balanced system of life and death, at Positive News we believe the news should include important stories about how, where and why life is thriving, too. Knowing about progress and potential solutions to important issues not only boosts people?s wellbeing, it draws attention and resources to positive change and empowers everyone to act. So, help us to end the socially destructive monoculture of bad news, by planting seeds for a more regenerative news landscape. If you can afford to, please become a Positive News supporter today.

A year has passed since we began living in the midst of Russia?s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Over that time, our work group has published over 60 articles about the war?s environmental consequences. We have covered issues both indirectly and directly impacted by the invasion. Unfortunately, the war is not over; it continues, as does our work. On the invasion?s anniversary, our team took stock, shared their words and worries, and witnessed the difficult events of the last year. a.. Year of Ukraine?s full-scale invasion 18 March 2023 is a day that is not foremost in the global community?s mind. It was on this day that Russia?s annexation (occupation) of Crimea was completed in 2014. Over the years of the peninsula?s occupation, along with its rich and diverse ecosystems and vitally important biodiversity, the whole region has essentially been turned into a military base. It has been used as a bridgehead for the invasion since 24 February 2022. Our expert Oleksii Vasyliuk discusses how the annexation has impacted Crimea?s natural protected areas. a.. Nine years after Crimea?s annexation: militarization?s environmental consequences As we have reported regularly, the invasion has not only impacted protected areas and environmental initiatives in Ukraine, but also significantly worsened the situation in Russia itself. Russia?s branch of World Wide Fund for Nature was declared a ?foreign agent?. UWEC expert Eugene Simonov reflects on the implications of this event and why the policy of creating foreign agents is very dangerous for Russia and the entire world. a.. ?Under the guise of defending nature? they tried to influence government decision-making? Russia?s invasion of Ukraine has prompted a series of crises. One of the most significant is in the energy sector. On the one hand, the war has a notable effect on the energy sector?s use of coal. On the other, Europe stands by its ambitious plans to transition to renewable energy sources. Journalist Anna Volynets provides a brief overview of the year?s energy-related outcomes and how they connect to climate and environment policies. a.. How did Russia?s invasion of Ukraine change the electricity market in Europe? The energy crisis also directly impacts the environment. It was expected that sanctions on Russia?s coal industry would decrease extraction and improve environmental situation in regions including the Kuzbass. This did not happen ? the situation in Kuzbass did not improve although coal extraction faced additional challenges, and grassroots environmental activists faced even greater pressures. Activist and expert Anton Lementuev examines life in Russia?s largest coal region since February 2022. a.. Siberian coal through the lens of war We continue to track the war?s environmental consequences on our Website, Twitter, and Facebook. Wishing you strength and peace!

Save the Gentle Giants: A Petition to End Elephant Riding in Thailand Sign Now I am writing to you today to bring your attention to a crucial issue that requires our immediate attention. Elephants, majestic creatures that have fascinated us for centuries, are suffering from cruelty and abuse in the tourism industry. Today, I implore you to join me in demanding a ban on elephant riding for tourism purposes in Thailand. The heartbreaking story of Pai Lin, a 71-year-old elephant who spent 25 years carrying tourists on her back, serves as a stark reminder of the inhumanity that these gentle giants endure. Countless elephants like her are pushed beyond their limits, their spines and bodies irreversibly damaged by the heavy burden of carrying tourists and howdahs. As compassionate individuals, it is our responsibility to protect these animals from such cruelty and suffering. Together, we can bring about meaningful change for elephants in Thailand. We must demand a ban on elephant riding for tourism purposes and implement strict regulations to protect these animals from abuse in the tourism and logging industries. I urge you to support only those establishments that prioritize the welfare of elephants and reject riding and other abusive practices by signing the petition! Thank you, Kelsey Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Let's take a stand and create a brighter future for these noble creatures. Sign the petition now!

Last week, we reached out to share our upcoming storytelling projects. There?s a lot to be excited about, from a talking head that tackles the Global Plastics Treaty, to the hard-hitting documentary short Burning Injustice. Your support allows us to keep doing what we do best: telling the stories that matter. Will you pitch in today to support our work? Our first video release on Earth Day will break down the Global Plastics Treaty, drawing back the veil for viewers by helping them understand what the proposed treaty is all about, why it matters and how folks can encourage our governments to adopt the strongest possible terms. Help us tell Stories that matter! Support our work today. Will you pitch in today to support our work? Come summer, we?ll release a powerful documentary short we?ve been working on since last Fall. Burning Injustice profiles the decades-long fight to close one of California?s two remaining solid waste incinerators ? Covanta Stanislaus ? and return Modesto, CA and surrounding communities to their zero waste roots. Through vivid, human-centered storytelling we?ll paint a striking picture of environmental racism and injustice to make the moral argument for the incinerator?s closure. We?ll also highlight our Grassroots Grantee and partner Valley Improvement Project?s efforts to return Modesto to environmental trailblazer status, enabling us to meet a critical goal in our plastic solutions storytelling: ensuring that we center solutions that most benefit communities that have borne the brunt of the plastic pollution itself. Will you help us meet our storytelling goals this spring? There?s a lot more to come. The final episodes of our wide-reaching Solving Plastic series will take a look at real world solutions to the plastics crisis in Medellin, Colombia, and at a music festival in Arizona. But although the series is wrapping up, the idea behind it is not ? we?ll pick it back up at the global level with our storytelling campaign for the movement?s Reuse Revolution. You?ve always stood behind storytelling that illuminates critical issues and offers viewers opportunities to create a better world.

You can subscribe using this link Climate chronicle of the war NGOs push for green reconstruction of Ukraine so infrastructure can weather war and climate change A Ukrainian hospital damaged in a Russian missile attack has been turned into a clean-energy model for the future of the country's infrastructure, even as the war in the country rages on. The destruction of the small hospital in Horenka, a village on the outskirts of Kyiv, happened in the first month of the Russian invasion. Shelling from a missile strike hit the hospital grounds, leaving the building's windows shattered, its exterior damaged, and an erosion of the electricity supply. The aftermath turned the hospital that once catered to a population of 10,000-12,000 patients from four different villages into an example of the brutalities of Vladimir Putin's war and left it with a ?56,000 repair bill for heating reconstruction. The Energy World Turned Upside Down After The Ukraine War The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant on 17th March against Vladimir Putin, leader of the world?s largest energy exporter (Russia), accusing him of the war crime of illegally deporting hundreds of children from Ukraine. Five days later, China?s President Xi Jinping ? recently confirmed for an unprecedented third term ? said he was ready to 'stand guard over a world order based on international law' as he met President Putin in Moscow. ?International law? seems to have different interpretations, and the ICC evidently does not have a monopoly on what passes as international law in the concert of nations. Ukrainian enterprises will be able to receive $150,000 to improve energy efficiency Ukrainian enterprises will be able to receive loans for $150,000 for the implementation of energy management and energy efficiency measures. Also, small and medium-sized businesses will be able to receive micro-grants, Anna Zamazeeva, head of the State Agency for Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving, reports on Facebook. She held a meeting with representatives of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), where they discussed a joint project to support businesses in the implementation of energy efficiency measures and energy management systems. How Russian war machine sparked a clean energy drive in the West Of all the aftershocks from Vladimir Putin?s attempted military takeover of Ukraine, one of the least likely could prove the most significant: a decisive global shift toward greener energy. The trend had been building even before the Ukraine war, as businesses, investors, and political leaders began positioning themselves to reap the benefits of an economic future based less on fossil fuels, such as oil, gas, and coal, than on clean energy sources like wind, the sun, and hydrogen. But the pace was nowhere near fast enough to reach the climate target that environmental experts say is needed to avoid the worst effects of global warming ? limiting the Earth?s temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels. In the middle of war, Ukraine is building a wind farm The Ukrainian energy company DTEK hit a milestone in the war-torn nation?s audacious bid to remake its energy economy and become a clean power hub for Europe. It announced a dozen turbines had been built and brought online under some of the most challenging conditions anywhere in the world, just 60 miles from the front lines of the war with Russia. The project in the Mykolaiv region is now helping generate electricity for the area?s beleaguered residents and the broader power grid. The plan is for it to ultimately grow to several dozen turbines, creating enough energy to power as many as a half-million homes. Xi Aligns With Putin Against US, But Hesitates on Gas Deal Xi Jinping used two days of talks in Moscow to firmly align with Russia against the US. But the Chinese leader held back from offering Vladimir Putin something he?s been looking for: A commitment to buy a lot more gas. The visit by Xi, his first to Russia since Putin invaded Ukraine just over a year ago, marked a political win for both leaders. Xi saw an opportunity to push back at the US and buttress his image as a global statesman after helping to broker a Saudi-Iran deal. Regional and world news Press Release from CAN EECCA on the release of the IPCC report ? 6th Assessment The Sixth Assessment Report, the so-called Synthesis Report, will form the basis for political action to combat climate change. It also consolidates and summarizes the findings of previous reports published by the IPCC during the current cycle, which began in 2015. IPCC experts have previously warned that human-induced climate change is observed in all regions of the planet, and this process is becoming more intense, and some of the emerging trends are already irreversible. The IPCC report, which is based on the latest scientific research from around the world, shows that climate change is happening at an unprecedented rate and that human activities, notably the burning of fossil fuels, are the primary cause of this change. The report also highlights the risks and impacts of climate change, including rising sea levels, more frequent and intense heat waves, and increased frequency of extreme weather events such as hurricanes, floods, and wildfires. Major hydropower project caught up in Georgia's "foreign agent" turmoil The leaders of Georgia's ruling party have been pushing a seemingly paradoxical allegation: that Western-funded NGOs supported what the party calls a Russia-sponsored protest movement against the construction of the Namakhvani hydropower plant (HPP) in western Georgia. After the protests mired the project in controversy in mid-2021 the Turkish investor pulled out and it was shelved. It was a setback for the Georgian Dream government, which had argued that the dam would have served to secure the country's "energy independence," reducing reliance on Russia. Ukraine to install green power plants on abandoned mines In 2023, a pilot project will be developed for the Velikomostiv mine in the Lviv region Deputy Minister of Energy Yaroslav Demchenkov said that it is possible to create clusters of sustainable energy at closed coal mines, in particular in Lviv, Donetsk and Luhansk regions. This will accelerate the transformation of coal regions, create new high-quality jobs, and also allow the use of the existing infrastructure of enterprises, the Ministry of Energy reports on Facebook. This happened during consultations on the topic "Just transformation: opportunities for Lviv region" within the framework of the project "Supporting Structural Changes in the Coal Regions of Ukraine". EU moves towards limiting carbon emissions from shipping EU countries on Thursday reached a preliminary agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the maritime sector by increasing the use of renewable fuels on ships. The deal aims to put maritime transport on the path towards meeting the EU's climate goals in 2030 and 2050, by increasing reduction targets for emissions from energy used on ships and introducing measures to encourage the use of so-called renewable fuels of non-biological origin. "The agreement will make sure that fuel suppliers, ships and maritime operators will have sufficient time to adapt for the new conditions so the maritime sector will deliver on the climate targets," Swedish Infrastructure Minister Andreas Carlson said in a statement. Have European countries violated human rights through climate inaction? Citizens affected by climate change are suing the governments of more than 30 European countries in three separate cases before the European Court of Human Rights, alleging that state inaction has violated their human rights. They are the first such cases to be heard before the Court in Strasbourg, France, and could result in orders for the governments involved to cut carbon dioxide emissions much faster than currently planned. The first case being heard next Wednesday focuses on the health impact of climate change-induced heatwaves, in a case brought by thousands of elderly Swiss women against the Swiss government as part of a six-year legal battle. ?Now we sue the state?: Greta Thunberg joins activists in lawsuit against Swedish government Environmental activists, including Greta Thunberg, are suing the Swedish state for insufficient action on the climate crisis. The lawsuit was initiated by youth climate activists in November last year. On Tuesday 21 March, it was given the greenlight by a Swedish court. ?The court has now issued a summons and the process is in full swing. Now the state must respond to the lawsuit,? an Instagram post announcing the action reads. ?Climate action is a legal duty!? Nacka District Court in Stockholm County has given the Swedish government three months to submit its response. Nations seek compromise on fossil fuel phase-out ahead of Cop28 Governments will continue to discuss whether to call for a phase-out of fossil fuels ahead of the Cop28 climate talks, the Egyptian Cop27 president told reporters after a gathering of 50 climate ministers in Copenhagen today. Egypt?s foreign minister Sameh Shoukry said that there will be ?consultations and deliberations? on whether to call for a phase-out of fossil fuels when governments gather in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in November. The issue bitterly divided governments at the Cop27 climate talks he chaired last November. Web site Facebook Telegram Twitter Instagram Copyright ? All rights reserved.

All participants in this conference, both speakers and observers, noted the important role not only of the scientists, but also of art and culture workers, in the preservation and rehabilitation of the Aral Sea and Aral Sea region. Sensitive and rational ways of knowing the consequences of an environmental catastrophe in the Aral Sea and in the Aral Sea region complement each other and serve to achieve a better future for the Aral Sea and all peoples of the Aral Sea region as soon as possible. Creation of new works of art and culture, both professional or for use with mass media, documentaries or modern creative synthetic educational products, preferably with the use of modern digital capabilities and aimed at prospective development, which are devoted to the Aral and Aral Sea region, we strongly welcome and fully support. New literary, artistic and other works are needed which will be devoted to the Aral Sea and the Aral Sea region. It is necessary to support creation of new poems, songs, paintings, plays, films, television shows, internet sites and many other things to attract attention to the problems of the Aral Sea and Aral Sea region by the masters of art and culture in order to solve them as soon as possible. It is important to hold thematic literary, song, theater, film and television festivals Development of tourism on the banks of the Aral Sea and in the Aral Sea region has great potential. It should not be spontaneous. Instead there needs to be a system of international interaction and appropriate infrastructure, ensuring that tourism can be adventurous, but must have a historical, natural-scientific character. Such tourism will increase the employment of the population, give it a supplement professional activity to support job and income security and will have commercial and informational attractiveness.

Message-ID: <71240229307A47B7A07251F93BBDCFA7@evol.sp.ru> UN Global Climate Action 29 March 2023 High-Level Champions' Newsletter Knowledge is power: New data tools track net zero progress The Race to Zero has launched its Data Explorer. Developed by Climate Arc, and powered by CDP data, it shows the progress of the largest 500 Race to Zero member companies by revenue. It is a critical first step to enhancing transparency on net zero commitments. Read more about the Data Explorer here and support us in our goal to halve emissions by 2030 by promoting and sharing this tool with your networks. Race to Zero partner, the SME Climate Hub has also launched a free reporting tool. Developed specifically for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) the tool helps summarize SMEs? annual greenhouse gas emissions, actions taken to reduce emissions and provides an opportunity to report on climate solutions. The SME Climate Hub is a non-profit global initiative that empowers small to medium sized companies to take climate action and build resilient businesses for the future. As part of its Climate Commitment, businesses are required to disclose their progress towards net zero on a yearly basis. Likewise, the Race to Resilience has launched an improved tool to help support the campaign?s mission to increase the resilience of four billion people living in vulnerable communities. The Data Explorer provides information on the efforts made by the Campaign?s partner organizations to increase the resilience of individuals, businesses, territories and natural systems. The actions implemented by partners are organized as per the impact systems of the Sharm-el-Sheikh Adaptation Agenda launched at COP27. The Data Explorer is primarily intended for non-State actors who are collaborating with the Race to Resilience partners to report their climate resilience actions and quantify and validate their impact under a common framework. However, the information provided on the platform can also be useful to anyone interested in understanding the progress of the campaign. Water tight solutions: Outcomes from the UN 2023 Water Conference More than 50 leading global companies united to make unprecedented collective commitment to SDG 6 at the recent UN 2023 Water Conference. During the opening day of the Conference held for the first time in 46 years, over 50 of the world?s largest corporations, operating in over 130 countries and employing 2 million people worldwide, launched the Business Leaders? Open Call for Accelerating Water Action. The Open Call for Water Action is an unprecedented appeal for private sector action to help solve the global water crisis and advance progress on SDG 6 to ensure access to water and sanitation for all. The Open Call provides a unified commitment by the corporate sector to the Water Action Agenda, the main outcome of the historic UN Water Conference. By joining the Open Call for Water Action, companies commit to work to build water resilience across their own global operations and supply chains. They also pledge to work collaboratively across sectors to achieve collective positive water impact in at least 100 prioritized water-stressed basins by 2030. The strategy aims to contribute to water security for 3 billion people, and help enable safe drinking water and sanitation for more than 300 million people. Water insecurity is one of the most pressing sustainability challenges of the 21st century, presenting humanitarian, environmental, and economic concerns. More than 2 billion people lack safe drinking water; a 40 percent water deficit is projected by 2030; and water-protecting ecosystems have experienced rapid destruction. Climate change continues to significantly intensify these risks, adding further urgency to act. CDP estimates that some USD 300 billion of business value is at risk due to water scarcity, pollution, and climate change. Find out more about the Champions? work on water here All hands on deck ahead of crucial IMO meeting The United Nations? International Maritime Organization (IMO) has concluded its latest round of talks ahead of July?s critical Marine Environment Protection Committee meeting (MEPC 80) which aim to decide the shipping industry?s strategy to mitigate the sector?s impact on climate change. During the meeting this week of the IMO?s Intersessional Working Group on Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Ships delegates met to discuss and finalize the draft Revised IMO Strategy on the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ships. Dr Aly Shaw, Policy Lead at shipping consultancy UMAS said ?This meeting marked a growing clarity on likely ambition for 2050 and also 2040, which is a positive sign for an equitable transition that requires targets aligned with limiting temperature rise to 1.5 or below. However, despite the repeated support across meetings for a just and equitable transition that leaves none behind ? there is little sign of this commitment being embedded throughout the revised strategy as of yet.? Clean Cooking Alliance: Cooking, but not on gas The Clean Cooking Alliance continues to transform markets, shape policies, and increase access to clean cooking for the billions of people around the world who still live without it according to its 2022 Annual Report. Clean cooking companies received a record US $200 million in investment, marking 2022 as a breakout year for the sector. Read more on the work of the Champions? Clean Cooking Breakthrough here. ?What?s Everyone Waiting For??: The release of the IPCC?s Synthesis Report: As the recent report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) details, humans are responsible for virtually all global heating over the last 200 years, the rate of temperature rise in the last half century is the highest in 2,000 years and concentrations of carbon dioxide are at their highest in at least 2 million years. However, the report also concludes that remaining within the 1.5?C limit is achievable if we?re ALL prepared to take a quantum leap in climate action. In response to the IPCC report, UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell has laid out 3 steps to course correct on climate change. Read our interview with Paulina Aldunce, lead author of the IPCC?s Working Group II in which she says, ? Sadly, the evidence scientists provide, and the urgency we communicate, isn?t always reflected in action. And this is frustrating. What is everyone waiting for?? The High-Level Champions also responded to the report by saying: Mahmoud Mohieldin, UN Climate Change High-Level Champion of the COP 27 Presidency: ? The IPCC?s latest report once again serves as a powerful reminder that if we race at speed towards a 1.5?C resilient world, while also ensuring a just transition and implementing SDGs, we will be welcomed at the finish line by a fairer and more sustainable future. We have every reason to believe that this is possible. Initiatives, including the Sharm El Sheikh Adaptation Agenda are well on the way to making millions of vulnerable people more resilient by 2030. We must move forward today with urgency in order to make the transition more affordable by unleashing just climate finance at scale while ensuring access to it by developing countries. The Regional Finance Forums on Climate Initiatives to Finance Climate Action and the SDGs ? contribute to this goal through catalyzing investment in climate projects. Razan Al Mubarak, UN Climate Change High-Level Champion of the COP 28 Presidency: "All of us alive today have the privilege of being responsible for the protection of future life on Earth. If we choose to ignore this fact, our world of beautiful abundance could soon become a danger zone. Nature is our ally in this battle, a non-negotiable part of the solution to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement and help protect us from even graver impacts of a warming world. The world?s oceans, plants, animals and soils have absorbed over half of humanity?s emissions in the past decade alone and will continue to do so if they are protected and restored. The IPCC has made it clear: the power is in our hands.? Join the final meeting of the Global Stocktake technical dialogue! The Global Stocktake (GST) is a top priority for COP 28 in order to align efforts on climate action and ramp up ambition and put us on track to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. It has been highlighted by the UNFCCC Executive Secretary as a moment of course correction towards 2030 and the COP 28 Presidency has emphasised how they will work to ensure that the world responds to the GST with a clear plan of action. For the stocktake to be a success, it needs robust input from everyone. In the lead up to COP 28 and as part of the final stage of technical assessment component of the GST, the UN Climate Change secretariat has launched an Expression of Interest process in collaboration with the High-Level Champions to assist the co-facilitators in inviting cities, subnational regions, businesses, investors and civil society to the third and final meeting of the technical dialogue (TD1.3) taking place during the Bonn Climate Change Conference in June 2023. Further information and the detailed design of TD1.3 will be shared in due course in an information note from the co-facilitators taking into account the guidance received from Parties, summary of the second meeting (TD1.2) discussions and inputs submitted to the GST information portal. While the design and exact numbers are still to be confirmed, approximately 60 seats will be made available for non-Party stakeholders to bring their expertise to the discussions and engage with technical experts from Party delegations. At COP 26, Parties welcomed the improved Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action for enhancing ambition 2021-2025 from the High-Level Champions, where supporting the GST is one of the main priorities and uses the timelines of the GST process to build and plan around, and also encouraged the High-Level Champions to support the effective participation of non-Party stakeholders in the GST. As such, the High-Level Champions strongly encourage the active participation of cities, subnational regions, businesses, investors, and civil society from all regions to highlight the opportunities for transformational climate action and support Parties in this process. To be considered for participation, please submit your expression of interest available on this webpage before Tuesday, 11 April 23:59 CEST. Accelerating to net zero Chile?s Water Utilities Association - Asociaci?n Nacional de Empresas de Servicios Sanitarios A.G., (ANDESS) has joined the Race to Zero as an Accelerator. In this capacity, the Association commits to aligning with Race to Zero?s criteria; accelerating membership; sharing knowledge and hosting events; engaging with the Race to Zero team and enhancing diversity, across regions and sectors. ANDESS' mission is to highlight the key role the sanitation industry must play in the development goals and environmental protection of Chile. The news was welcomed by Maisa Rojas,Chile?s Environment Minister. Similarly, sustainability consultancy Giki has also joined the Race to Zero as an Accelerator. Giki works with everyone from small businesses through to global companies to help educate and engage staff to build sustainable behaviours which cut carbon at home and at work. In Case You Missed It ? After the historic decision that was taken last year at COP 27 to create a Loss and Damage fund, the committee tasked with operationalizing the fund is meeting for the first time. Remarks were shared by UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell to open the first meeting of the Transitional Committee on the operationalization of the loss and damage fund. The meetings can be viewed online here. ? European Union countries have given final approval to a landmark law to end sales of new CO2-emitting cars in 2035. The EU law will require all new cars sold to have zero CO2 emissions from 2035, and 55% lower CO2 emissions from 2030, versus 2021 levels. The targets are designed to drive the rapid decarbonisation of new car fleets in Europe. ? A new report jointly released by UN Climate Change and CDP finds companies in the Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action are making promising strides when it comes to climate action, with more than 80% of them publicly reporting on their progress in line with their commitments. According to the report, some companies are making good on their climate commitments, demonstrating ample opportunities to reduce emissions across their supply chains, but others are falling short in their efforts to drive down emissions. ? New research published by Climate Group shows that funding for climate action and policies at subnational level is essential to keep the world on track for 1.5 degrees of warming, especially as state and regional governments represent over 50% of all environment and climate spending. The research looks at the mechanisms states and regions can use to raise funds to accelerate to net zero and adapt to climate change: particularly carbon pricing, green bonds, national government funding and taxes and fees. The report also examines ways in which subnational governments can effectively spend climate finance and how they can also help other groups access that finance. ? More than 500 common species of fish, seaweed, coral and invertebrates that live on reefs around Australia have declined in the past decade according to a study published in the Nature journal. The study monitored 1,057 species and found 57% of them had declined, and almost 300 were declining at a rate that could qualify them as threatened species. It concludes global heating was likely the main driver of hte falls, with marine heatwaves and a rise in ocean temperatures hitting species that live on rocky and coral reefs. ? Launched ahead of the UN 2023 Water Conference, the new edition of the UN World Water Development Report focuses on twin themes of partnerships and cooperation. Published by the UN Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the report highlights collaborative ways actors can work together to overcome common challenges. Globally, two billion people do not have safe drinking water and 3.6 billion lack access to safely managed sanitation, the report found. ? The world is facing an imminent water crisis, with demand expected to outstrip the supply of fresh water by 40% by the end of this decade according to a new report from the Global Commission on the Economics of Water. Johan Rockstrom, the director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, co-chair of the Commission and a lead author of the report said the world?s neglect of water resources was leading to disaster. ?The scientific evidence is that we have a water crisis. We are misusing water, polluting water, and changing the whole global hydrological cycle, through what we are doing to the climate. It?s a triple crisis.? The report?s authors say nations must start to manage water as a global common good, because most countries are highly dependent on their neighbours for water supplies, and overuse, pollution and the climate crisis threaten water supplies globally, the report?s authors say. ? UN Climate Change and COP 28 Presidency have launched a bid to put marginalised youth at the centre of climate talks. The International Youth Climate Delegate Program will sponsor 100 young people to attend COP28 in November. Delegates from countries on the list of Least Developed Countries (LDCs), Small Island Developing States (SIDS), Indigenous Peoples and other minority groups around the world will be prioritised. Anyone interested and eligible can apply here. Deadline: Wednesday, 7 April 2023. ? The Scottish Government in collaboration with the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) has released the Practical Action for Addressing Loss and Damage? report. It follows on from the conference Addressing Loss and Damage: Practical Action hosted by the Scottish Government in October 2022 in collaboration with the UN Climate Change High-Level Champions and the Global Resilience Partnership. The conference brought together international representatives and practitioners to articulate best practice and explore innovative opportunities to address and finance loss and damage and contributors presented more than 30 case studies of action already being taken. The report draws together the evidence presented in those case studies to explore some of the key issues faced by communities, governments, donors, the private sector and others working to address inescapable climate impacts in their regions, countries and systems. ? The Race to Resilience (RtR) is looking for new members of its technical advisory body, the Methodological Advisory Group (MAG) through an Open Call for Nominations. The MAG advises the development and refinement of the Race to Resilience?s Metrics Framework and the methodological processes associated with its application, aiming to esquire the credibility, transparency and robustness of the Race to Resilience. More application information and selection criteria can be found in the application here. Deadline: 29 March 2023 ? IRENA's World Energy Transitions Outlook Preview highlighted that although progress is being made with the global investment across all energy transition technologies reaching a record high of USD 1.3 trillion in 2022, yearly investments must more than quadruple to over USD 5 trillion to stay on the 1.5?C pathway, and cumulative investments between now and 2030 need to total USD 44 trillion, with energy transition technologies representing 80% of the investment, or USD 35 trillion. ? IIGCC has released net zero guidance for infrastructure, to help investors align and manage infrastructure portfolios with the goal of achieving global net zero emissions by 2050 or sooner ? UN Climate Change is boosting the capacity of the world?s poorest and most vulnerable countries to adapt to the inevitable impacts of climate change, which include ever more severe and more frequent floods, storms, and droughts. One key activity is to train experts to formulate national adaptation plans which are crucial to access funding for specific adaptation projects, which can range from measures to make food systems more resilient to improving water services. In addition, the Technology Executive Committee and the children and youth constituency of UNFCCC have identified the latest trends in technologies such as remote sensing and artificial intelligence can help people adapt to the impacts of climate change, allowing them to better prepare for storms, floods, and fires. ? S?o Tom? & Pr?ncipe, Singapore, and Suriname have reported their efforts and progress on their climate actions to the UN Climate Change secretariat. The reports demonstrate solid climate action progress and varying needs for financial, technological and capacity-building support to . increase climate action. ?

Razan Al Mubarak participated in the Road to COP 28 launch event during which she discussed the importance of her role as High-Level Champion in strengthening the engagement of non-State actors in supporting Parties in global climate action. ? Mahmoud Mohieldin was named the Most Influential Personality of the Year Award by Daily News Egypt. ? Mahmoud Mohieldin attended the 35th Board meeting of the Green Climate Fund in Incheon, South Korea, where he addressed the Board Members about the need and urgency to meet the global climate finance needs, especially under the dire global socio-economic conditions the world is currently experiencing . The meeting closed with the approval of $ 587.7 million for seven new projects in developing nations, four of which already got their contractual agreements signed. ? Razan Al Mubarak attended the Monaco Blue Initiative where she highlighted the importance of accelerating efforts to protect and conserve marine ecosystems for their climate mitigation, coastal communities resilience and biodiversity benefits. ? Mahmoud Mohieldin participated in a public lecture organised by the Economic Research Forum and Nile University on how businesses and governments can work together to tackle climatic stresses and achieve the SDGs. ? In a session hosted by UN ESCWA on "Planning and Financing Sustainable Development in Times of Recovery and Crisis", Mahmoud Mohieldin highlighted how the current economic conditions necessitate the activation of innovative financing tools and blended finance. Specifically, he urged the need to assess financing development priorities in a holistic manner in order to determine the size of the financing gap. ? On the sidelines of Indonesia's presidency of the ASEAN Group 2023, Mahmoud Mohieldin participated in a side-event discussing the interlinkage between ESG standards and Islamic finance. Mohieldin shared that total Islamic financial assets currently exceed USD 2 trillion as per latest estimates, including annual zakat contributions amounting to about USD 300 billion across the Muslim world. However, Zakat - as well as other forms of Islamic Solidarity Fund - remains underutilised when it comes to bridging the SDG financing gap. Mark Your Calendar ?

Commercial octopus farming has never been done before, and experts say it can?t happen without inflicting untold suffering on one of Earth?s most amazing creatures. But that hasn?t stopped a Spanish company trying to build what amounts to a giant octopus torture chamber in the Canary Islands. Now there's hope -- the UK has recognised octopus and other aquatic species as sentient beings, and the EU is now reviewing its own legislation. These amazing creatures need a voice ? and we can be it. So let?s build an astounding call from around the world, pressure local authorities to stop the farm, right before regional elections and call on Europe and governments everywhere to ban the horror octopus farming. Let?s help stop octopus farming ? sign now! The viral documentary, My Octopus Teacher, showed the whole world how aware and intelligent octopuses are. And everywhere we look, evidence is pouring in that humanity shares the planet with animals and even plants that can feel far more than we ever imagined. Our community has stood up many times for the rights of fellow species ? now we need to do it again.
