# Global leaders from South Africa, Brazil, and the United States have gathered in Cape Town with representatives from the African Union and Europe to discuss global sustainability. The F20 Climate Solutions Forum, hosted at Kirstenbosch, focuses on governance, climate finance, and a just energy transition. The conference aims to build trust and drive inclusive […]
# A new report from the World Meteorological Organisation warns that global temperatures will likely continue rising, with an 80-percent chance that at least one year between now and 2029 will be even hotter. The organisation projects that the 20-year average warming for 2015-to-2034 will reach around 1.44 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. There is […]
# Die vleis van bruinbere, ‘n beskermde spesie in die Europese Unie, mag dalk binnekort in Slowakye verkoop word nadat die populistiese regering nuwe planne goedgekeur het. Die kabinet het in April ‘n plan goedgekeur om sowat ‘n kwart van die land se een-duisend-300 bruinbere te skiet weens noodlottige voorvalle. Bewaringsbewustes, opposisie-politici, asook die Europese […]
# The meat of brown bears, a protected species in the European Union, could soon be available to eat in Slovakia after the populist government approved new plans. Last month, the cabinet authorised a plan to shoot about a quarter of the country’s one-thousand-300 brown bears in response to some recent fatal encounters. It has […]
# NASA-satellietdata toon dat Antarktika tussen 2021 en 2023 ys bygekry het as gevolg van buitengewoon hoë sneeuval ondanks aardverwarming. Terwyl die tydelike toename sommige vorige verliese omgekeer het, beklemtoon kenners dat dit nie ‘n langtermyn-tendens aandui nie. Die algehele trajek toon steeds beduidende ysverlies sedert 2002, hoofsaaklik gedryf deur gletsers wat in warmer oseane […]
#Die Stad Tshwane het hom by Johannesburg en Ekurhuleni aangesluit om die rehabilitasie van die Kaalspruit-opvanggebied te takel. Die metro sê met vinnige verstedeliking oor die jare en die toenemende getal informele inwoners naby die walle, het die watergehalte van Kaalspruit-rivier agteruitgegaan. Die burgemeester van Tshwane Nasiphi Moya se woordvoerder, Zintle Mahlati, sê onwettige sand-ontginning […]
# Aardverwarming verhoog dalk vroue se kankerrisiko’s in die Midde-Ooste en Noord-Afrika. ‘n Studie in 17 lande het bevind dat bors-, eierstok-, baarmoeder- en servikale kankersyfers en -sterftes met elke graad Celsius temperatuurstyging toegeneem het. Eierstokkanker het die meeste gestyg. Wetenskaplikes van die Amerikaanse Universiteit in Kaïro koppel dit aan omgewingsgifstowwe, ontwrigte gesondheidsorg en ongelyke […]
# NASA satellite data shows Antarctica gained ice between 2021 and 2023 due to unusually high snowfall despite ongoing global warming. While this temporary gain reversed some previous losses, experts stress it doesn’t signal a long-term trend. The overall trajectory still shows significant ice loss since 2002, largely driven by glaciers melting into warming oceans. […]
# Global warming may be increasing women’s cancer risks in the Middle East and North Africa. A study across 17 countries found that breast, ovarian, uterine, and cervical cancer rates and deaths rose with each degree Celsius of temperature increase. Ovarian cancer saw the highest rise. Scientists from the American University in Cairo have linked […]
