‘A national scandal’: trawlers scour seabeds of supposedly protected UK waters ‘Precious ocean life is being pushed to the brink’ say campaigners, arguing that overfished marine areas are ‘protected only on paper’

Regardless of the issue, it's always the same story: commercial interests allowed to ride roughshod over everything and everyone else. Faced with the urgent need for action, successive governments twiddle their thumbs.

Argentina achieved the unthinkable after 110 years, and the “return” of this mammal to the Chaco is already changing the ecosystem from day one After 110 years, the guanaco is back in Argentina's El Impenetrable. See how this 2,000-mile rescue is fixing a broken ecosystem.

The “return” of the guanaco to the #Chaco is already changing the ecosystem from day one!

Algunos justifican el secuestro de Maduro porque su gestión económica fue pésima, llegando a provocar una hiperinflación por gastar mucho dinero público en política social y otras cosas. Pero es que eso es falso, y los datos lo demuestran claramente.

Qué cansado estoy de escuchar esa tontería del conflicto intergeneracional. Los problemas de los jóvenes no se deben a las pensiones, sino a la vivienda! Y la solución no es construir, sino limitar la especulación inmobiliaria! Es tan evidente que da vergüenza explicarlo.

As we scale up renewables, one thing becomes crystal clear: without storage, the energy transition will stall.

Batteries aren’t just for cars. They’re also crucial for grids, industry, and heating.

From clean air to pesticides: how UK has lagged behind EU on the environment Labour has continued to diverge from bloc’s laws, meaning most of UK’s protections are weaker than pre-Brexit

Since #Brexit, UK now has lower standards than EU in:

* protecting nature
* water quality
* air pollution
* methane control
* pesticides
* chemicals
* deforestation supply chains
* waste reduction

Only on marine protection does UK have a better story to tell

A UNEP graphic featuring a classroom built with traditional brick materials. A teacher stands at a blackboard with chalk writing, while several students sit at wooden desks. White text across the image reads: “Traditional building practices offer sustainable solutions as African cities grow.” The UNEP logo is in the bottom right corner.

Africa's rapid urbanization calls for sustainable building practices.

The Lycée Schorge in Burkina Faso exemplifies this, using materials like local laterite bricks and eucalyptus to keep classrooms cool and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
