Shipping’s biofuel gamble could deepen Africa’s land squeeze and food insecurity (commentary) Africa’s future prosperity depends on how fast we can reduce emissions, especially from large polluting sectors like shipping. But using crops as fuel to cut emissions risks causing more harm than goo...

🚢 Shipping’s biofuel push could deepen Africa’s land squeeze & food insecurity.

“Burning crops for shipping would compound existing injustices” say our African experts.

As UN rules are set this April, food-based #biofuels must be excluded.

Sri Lanka declares state of emergency after floods leave hundreds dead and many missing The president says it is the "most challenging natural disaster" in the country's history.

We’ve always had floods – but as the world warms, they’re becoming more intense and more severe.

We’re all in harms way – but those who don’t have a safe place to live, or can’t take food and water for granted, are always most vulnerable.

Over 275,000 children affected in Sri Lanka following devastating Cyclone

Cyclone Ditwah has left children across Sri Lanka facing an escalating humanitarian crisis.

UNICEF is scaling up life‑saving support - clean water, nutrition, psychosocial support and emergency education kits - but more funding is urgently needed.

Two plots with the global mean annual burned area (left) and fuel consumption (right), for the 2002–2022 period, in grasslands & non-grasslands.

The new Global Fire Emissions Database (GFED5, 2002–2022) shows that at the global scale 1) by far, most area burned are grasslands; 2) area burned is declining; & 3) fuel consumption is increasing: ie, fires are increasing in forests & encroached grasslands.

A persistent puzzle in development economics is why calorie consumption has fallen among India's poorest despite ⬆️ incomes & ⬇️ poverty rates.
