The UN warned against a “catastrophe” in Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia, which it described as the epicentre of the world’s worst climate emergencies. Donor countries have pledged a total of $2.4 billion for 2023, but only $0.8 billion in new financial support was announced at this week’s event. The US will provide nearly two-thirds of the money, followed at some distance by the European Commission, Germany and the UK.

In 2018, in the Kalobeyei Settlement Area in Kenya, water was supplied from boreholes and pumped as far as 4km away. To reduce fuel costs the Norwegian Refugee Council (implementing partner for UNHCR's water, sanitation and hygiene programmes) used solar-powered pumps for 6-7 hours daily, saving on fuel costs. Goal 6 of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals is ‘Ensure access to water and sanitation for all’.

Sustainable development goals structured by the United Nations are so vital. Creating a system full of clean water will boast food production and reduce waterborne diseases.
Free Virtual Meeting (on UN Day 2023) ahead of COP28: This year (2023), the UAE will host the 28th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28) which will take place from 30 November until 12 December at Expo City Dubai in order to unite the world towards agreement on bold, practical and ambitious solutions to the most pressing global challenge of our time. However, time is running out fast and realizing the seriousness, the Global Science Academy (GSA) has announced Virtual Meeting on United Nations Day, 24th October 2023 i.e. ahead of COP28 (particularly in context of COP28’s draft theme of 04th December 2023 on NATURE, LAND-USE & OCEANS), to contribute at its level and with the support of experts and professional, wishes to explore ways and means to accelerate the response of global citizen. And, thus implementable practical climate solutions are to be shared not only with the leaders of governments, international and regional organizations, financial institutions, the private sector and civil societies etc. but also with leaders of businesses, cities, regions etc. reminding pre-2030 Nationally Determined Contributions as were agreed in Glasgow; updated net-zero targets; energy transition plans with commitments to no new coal, oil and gas; fossil fuel phase-out plans; more ambitious renewable-energy targets; Green Climate Fund pledges; and economy-wide plans on adaptation and resilience. G20 i.e. the Group of Twenty (G20) which comprises 19 countries (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Türkiye, United Kingdom and United States) and the European Union will also be looked at their emission-cuts as G20 members represent around 85% of the global GDP with their around two-thirds of the world population. Bearing the fact that Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has once again highlighted the urgency to act because the damage from the climate crisis is already extensive, and global greenhouse gas emissions remain at record levels. The world needs to limit global warming to 1.5°C degrees above pre-industrial levels so as to prevent the worst impacts. The Global Science Academy (GSA) call for the experts to contribute with their view-points in the proposed virtual meeting, the link of which will be shared later on. GSA will appreciate to have experts’ brief opinions even before the proposed meeting at the official email id: globalaps@rediffmail.com Those communicating authentically will be included in our “global think-tank”. Contributions preferably required to fit under COP28’s draft theme of 04th December 2023 on NATURE, LAND-USE & OCEANS. Since Global Science Academy (GSA) engaged in various activities pertaining to UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, and thoroughly know the potential of Ocean in coping Climate Change hence we expect innovative solutions from professionals of this domain. Problems of marine liters affecting ecosystems are also encouraged to highlight as prospective contributions. More information will be uploaded, in due course, to our website https://www.gsaindia.org please keep on vigil.

As part of its increased efforts to boost the recognition and transparency of voluntary climate action initiatives and pledges, UN Climate Change has published a landmark ‘recognition and accountability framework’ for non-Party stakeholders, as well as its first implementation plan under the framework, which focuses on net-zero pledges from non-state actors. “The purpose of the framework is to give enhanced recognition to non-Party stakeholders that are delivering on commitments, while pursuing transparency and helping to maximize the credibility of climate action pledges and plans by disclosing progress,” writes UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell in a message to Parties and observers today. “Through recognition, we can showcase best practices as well as identify the systemic challenges that must be overcome for credible climate actions aligned with the aims of the Paris Agreement.” https://unfccc.int/news/un-climate-change-unveils-plan-to-showcase-leadership-and-enhance-accountability

It sounds like a groundbreaking attribution to climate action.
A shift to a more sustainable economy can have significant impacts on workers and communities that are currently dependent on fossil fuels. Transforming the economy and economic system in a way that is as fair and inclusive as possible to everyone concerned, creates decent work opportunities and leaves no one behind.

ICJAO Resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly 30 Mar New York - The United Nations General Assembly has adopted the Government of Vanuatu’s proposal for an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice on the obligations of States on climate change. More than 100 countries came together to co-sponsor the initiative in a show of global solidarity on climate. Pacific youth, led by Pacific Island Students Fighting Climate Change (PISFCC) and the Worlds Youth for Climate Justice (WYCJ), have celebrated the vote and called for more action to save the planet and protect the most vulnerable people. PISFCC was the driving force behind the civil society campaign, with the idea hatched in a Vanuatu class room four years ago. The International Court of Justice will now hold hearings and hear evidence on the obligations of states in respect to climate change, with a view to handing down an advisory opinion in 2024.

Drought should be given top priority and a solution to curb the drought need to be put in place as soon as possible
