(2) Kirsten James (Reuters) scrive dei risultati positivi della World Water Week svoltasi a Stoccolma il mese scorso. L’acqua è stata posta concretamente al centro dell’attenzione globale. Mentre il World Resources Institute ha segnalato che un terzo del prodotto interno lordo globale sarà probabilmente esposto a un forte stress idrico entro il 2050, la Presidenza della COP28 ha annunciato di voler fare dell’acqua una priorità critica (miglioramento della resilienza idrica urbana; rafforzamento dei sistemi alimentari resistenti all’acqua; conservazione e ripristino degli ecosistemi di acqua dolce)
Kirsten James (Reuters) writes about the positive results of World Water Week held in Stockholm last month. Water was concretely placed at the centre of global attention. While the World Resources Institute reported that one-third of the global gross domestic product is likely to be exposed to severe water stress by 2050, the COP28 presidency announced that it wants to make water a critical priority (improving urban water resilience; strengthening water-resilient food systems; conserving and restoring freshwater ecosystems)

(3) Tariye Gbadegesin (Reuters) scrive sull’urgenza di finanziare la transizione ecologica in Africa. Richiama la African Carbon Markets Initiative, lanciata alla COP27. Attraverso l’acquisto, da parte delle aziende, di crediti di carbonio emessi da sviluppatori, aziende, comunità e governi africani, esse finanziano progetti di eliminazione o riduzione del carbonio, come la rigenerazione delle foreste e le energie rinnovabili. Si tratta di progetti che contribuiscono a migliorare i mezzi di sussistenza locali e la biodiversità
Tariye Gbadegesin (Reuters) writes about the urgency of financing the ecological transition in Africa. She recalls the African Carbon Markets Initiative, launched at COP27. Through companies’ purchase of carbon credits issued by African developers, companies, communities and governments, they finance carbon removal or reduction projects, such as forest regeneration and renewable energy. These are projects that contribute to improving local livelihoods and biodiversity
