📢Today is day 1 of @WorldBank & @IMFNews Annual Meetings 2024. Issues such as the Bank’s Scorecard, #IDA21, IMF & Climate, #IFA reform and + are likely to take center stage this week, amid calls for international financial architecture. Stay tuned!
#Solar surge will send #coal power tumbling by 2030, @IEA data reveals. Delays in #fundong shortfalls leave developing countries locked in #fossil fuel dependence, delaying #transition to renewables & control #environmental pollution. carbonbrief.org/analysis-solar…
Does #cleanair make you smarter? @IQAir reports harm to cognitive abilities caused by increased levels of air pollution begins in the womb. Brains of people living in highly polluted areas age 3 years faster than the rest. #Investincleanairnow iqair.com/us/newsroom/do…
Transitioning to renewables central to advance global south towards pollution free air. But public finance for #renewables is still coming up short... via @RecourseTeam africanarguments.org/2024/10/how-th…
Excellent piece on rising healthcosts due to #airpollution reports @DrGaryFuller in @guardian #Pakistan has seen sharp increase in disease burden due to increase in pulmonary, cardiovascular & neurological diseases across densely polluted areas.
New study finds xposure to ground-level O3 associated with increased risks of mortality from most type of cancers. More action is needed to reduce #AirPollution @YumingGuo007 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ij…
#Pakistan is in the middle of prolong #heatwave with temperatures above 100 Fahrenheit, rendering daily lives difficult, impacting crop yields and health systems. Heatwaves are becoming more frequent & cities are particularly vulnerable due to UHI effect x.com/EUClimateActio…
Heatwaves are becoming more frequent due to climate change, and cities are particularly vulnerable due to the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect 🌡️🏙️ Read the @EU_ScienceHub report about how we can combat this and make our cities cooler and more livable 👇 europa.eu/!6TkrTJ
Amid rapidly evolving global crises, future may seem daunting, yet it holds potential for transformative change. @UNEP & @ISC‘s Global Foresight Report calls for a new social contract, adaptive governance & scientific knowledge at the centre of action. unep.org/resources/glob…
While #AI offers opportunities for #economic growth & social progress, implications for #environment are multifaceted. @UNEP findings highlight e-waste recycling, energy-efficient data centres, responsible resource management essential to mitigate environmental harms.
In its latest, @UNEP reports ancient microorganisms hidden in thawing #Arctic permafrost as result of #climatechange have consequences for environmental, animal & human health. "The world is on track for a catastrophic temperature increase of between 2.1 °C & 3.9 °C by 2100."
Increased calls for deep sea mining for critical rare earth elements/minerals to fuel transition to #NetZero expected to increase fourfold by 2040, posing threats to #nature, #biodiversity, #pollution and waste, reports @UNEP in its latest report 'Navigating New Horizons.'
New report estimates additional tax on #fossilfuel in #OECD countries could raise $720bn by 2030; also boost promised #lossanddamagefund to help vulnerable countries cope with climate disasters. theguardian.com/environment/20…
Less than 1% of international development funding is spent on #airpollution: it continues to disproportionately impact climate vulnerable people globally. Enhanced investments in AQmonitoring #cleantechnology critical@IMFNews @PakistanADB @WorldBank @andersen_inger
Small global investment of $4 to $8 million annually, in #airpollution monitoring & data programmes could make a significant difference to 838million people living in countries with high potential for national-level pollution improvements,incl. #Pakistan. @MIshaqDar50 @CMShehbaz
Lack of #AirQuality monitoring deters policy leaders from developing timely policy measures to identify and mitigate #AirPollution in #Pakistan wjere poor air quality reduces life expectancy not by 1 or 2 but 7 years! @UCDavisAQRC @UChiEnergy @jaffry05
Asia and Africa contribute 92.7% of life years lost due to #pollution. Lack of AQ data & gaps in its access deters targetted policy making to address #Airpollution. @OpenAQ finds just 6.8 & 3.7% of govts in Asia & Africs resp., provide fully open #AirQuality data. #LegislateNow
The Biden administration just announced it’s protecting 13 million acres in the western Arctic from oil and gas drilling AND stopped the construction of Ambler Road! Big win for the environment and Alaska Indigenous communities. nytimes.com/2024/04/19/cli…
By 2030, climate's negative #health effects vl drive 40 million+ people into extreme poverty. Cost of inaction — on people's health & planet ecology is huge. Most countries r swaddled with huge debts, climate crisis & unable to invest in public services. #SpringMeetings @IMFNews
There's been lots of talk this week at #SpringMeetings re: #climate, but how are @IMFNews & @worldbank shaping the conversation around #energy & #decarbonisation? how they use #GreenConditionality in the RST & their DPF lending. Is it fit for purpose?
World Bank Group guarantees are being used to help green luxury hotels in Africa, while vulnerable communities don't get funding to adapt to climate warming.#SpringMeetings2024 ClimateActionNow @WorldBank @IMF climatechangenews.com/2024/04/16/wor…
Pakistan's financial #gendergap aggravates chronic poverty and excludes women from financial services. #IWD2024 @StateBank_Pak @SECPakistan @MIshaqDar50 @BBhuttoZardari @CMShehbaz
Inclusion of women in current economic, fiscal and social policies is central to achieve #genderequity, reduce #poverty, lessen impacts of #climatecris and give women equal participation and access to senior positions across all sectors of economy. #IWD2024
