Wind power accounted for 32% of Ireland’s electricity last month, marking a substantial increase of 25% compared to the same month last year. That’s according to Wind Energy Ireland’s latest monthly report, which suggests the second half of September saw strong winds that powered Ireland to its third consecutive record-breaking month in wind energy generation, following impressive feats in July and August. https://www.energylivenews.com/2023/10/06/ireland-achieves-record-32-wind-powered-electricity/

Portugal has made significant strides in integrating renewable energy sources into its electricity generation. The country has taken advantage of solar power, tidal power wind generation, and hydroelectric power plants. Portugal is becoming a World leader in developing every form of energy independence. At the end of 2021, Portugal became coal-free after shutting down its 628MW Pego coal-fired power plant, privately owned by utility Tejo Energia. https://www.theportugalnews.com/news/2023-09-30/54-of-portugals-electricity-is-now-generated-by-renewable-energy/81840

The French throw away 700,000 tons of clothes every year. A heresy for the Secretary of State in charge of Ecology, Bérangère Couillard, who specifies that two thirds "end up in landfills ". To encourage customers to have their clothes or shoes repaired rather than buying new ones, she indicated on Tuesday that a bonus for the "repair" of textile goods must be put in place "from October " . "From October, consumers will be able to be accompanied in the repair of their clothes and shoes" , explained Bérangère Couillard during a visit to Paris of the premises of an incubator dedicated to responsible fashion, La Caserne. This "repair bonus" for the textile sector will be endowed with a fund of 154 million euros over the period 2023-2028, the office of the Secretary of State had previously explained to AFP https://www.tf1info.fr/conso/le-gouvernement-lance-un-bonus-reparation-pour-les-vetements-et-les-chaussures-2263305.html

The bill, to be signed by the California governor, requires drawing up a conservation plan and creates a fund to protect the species. The Western Joshua Tree Conservation Act was passed Tuesday, as part of the state’s budget agreement.

It appears to be the first California legislation focused on protecting a climate-threatened species. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/28/california-protect-joshua-trees-conservation#:~:text=California%20lawmakers%20have%20voted%20to,fixtures%20of%20the%20high%20desert.

The UN’s 193 Member States adopted a landmark legally binding marine biodiversity agreement on Monday following nearly two decades of fierce negotiations over forging a common wave of conservation and sustainability in the high seas beyond national boundaries – covering two thirds of the planet’s oceans. Here are five key points on why it is important for the world. 1. Fresh protection beyond borders While countries are responsible for the conservation and sustainable use of waterways under their national jurisdiction, the high seas now have added protection from such destructive trends as pollution and unsustainable fishing activities. Adopted by the Intergovernmental Conference on Marine Biodiversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ), the “high seas” treaty aims at taking stewardship of the ocean on behalf of present and future generations, in line with the Convention on the Law of the Sea. The new agreement contains 75 articles that aim at protecting, caring for, and ensuring the responsible use of the marine environment, maintaining the integrity of ocean ecosystems, and conserving the inherent value of marine biological diversity. “The ocean is the lifeblood of our planet, and today, you have pumped new life and hope to give the ocean a fighting chance,” the UN Secretary-General António Guterres told delegates on Monday. https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/06/1137857#:~:text=The%20UN's%20193%20Member%20States,thirds%20of%20the%20planet's%20oceans.

However The Scottish Sunday Express reports that members of the SNP and Scottish Greens were "outraged" by a last minute change that excludes glass from the scheme. MSPs claimed the late decision to remove glass from the scheme is "treating the Scottish parliament with contempt" but the paper says that industry groups have welcomed the move. The Sunday National reports that on Scottish Tories being accused of playing "cynical and opportunist political games" after saying that glass should be removed from Scotland's deposit return scheme. The paper says that the party has backtracked on previous demands to include glass in the scheme. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-65737797

A Toyota EV drove 1,200 miles without stopping to charge thanks to electric roads with wireless charging. Electreon, an Israeli startup founded in 2013, is developing electric roadways that can charge moving vehicles wirelessly, potentially eliminating the need for lengthy pit stops or plugging in. To demonstrate the tech's potential, Electreon drove an electric Toyota for 1,207 miles straight on a test track that had its wireless charging coils embedded under the asphalt. That's about five times farther than a normal EV can travel on a full charge. The impressive feat shows how wireless charging can revolutionize EV ownership, Oren Ezer, Electreon's CEO and cofounder, told Insider. https://africa.businessinsider.com/transportation/a-toyota-ev-drove-1200-miles-without-stopping-to-charge-thanks-to-electric-roads-with/wn7dt0k

In response to the recent debt ceiling deal between President Biden and GOP House Speaker McCarthy, Alice Madden, Policy and Political Director at Greenpeace USA, said, “Backroom deals to gut our bedrock environmental protections at the expense of frontline communities have been defeated three times before by those who value people over profits. Now, while holding the country hostage in debt ceiling negotiations, the House GOP crafted a deal that helps polluters and hurts already struggling families. And breaking his own promises, President Biden capitulated to these extremist demands and is embracing a fossil fuel industry wishlist. “None of these measures belong in a bill to raise the debt ceiling. Since 1960, Congress has acted 78 times to permanently raise, extend, or revise the debt limit – 49 times under Republican presidents and 29 times under Democratic presidents. Greenpeace USA calls on members of Congress to reject this dirty deal and pass a clean debt ceiling bill.” Source: https://www.greenpeace.org/usa/news/house-gop-blackmails-america-to-favor-polluters/

Speaking at an environmental technology conference, Mr Stuart said: "I think he is an outstanding individual and we look forward to working with the UAE to ensure COP28 is a success and gets more countries committing to the necessary emissions reductions." Mr Stuart also defended Jaber's track record at ADNOC, the UAE state oil company, saying that he was cleaning up their operations and reducing emissions. It's pretty obvious that certain leaders publicly cushion their fellows who have portrayed bad leadership skills but still choose to right their wrongs and that only makes it worse than any better but the global community can't fail to express their disgruntlement.The word is that the era of condoning such misleading information is over and if leaders fail to call off the ills,the common person will. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-65708328

I have for quite sometime been intrigued by Stefano Boeri's green buildings projects that keep mushrooming in various cities around the world and according to me terming him as a genius is absolutely an understatement but that would otherwise be the most suitable for now for lack of a better word. The thought of livable and viable cities that would be more environmentally conscious might seem very hectic to fathom or even unlikely to ever come into being but Stefano Boeri,the 66 years old Italian architect has challenged this mindset. Over the years he has engineered the unthinkable; green buildings which would play host to people, ensure a conducive ecosystem that would see biodiversity thrive in as well as improve the city's air quality. Adding onto his long list of green building is Wonderland. The ‘Wonderwoods Vertical Forest’ is taking root in the Utrecht neighbourhood between Croeselaan and Jaarbeursboulevard, and will be ready for residents by summer 2024. “It will be a model of virtuous integration between architecture and living nature, which we hope will be an instrument to be used in making cities ever greener,” says architect Francesca Cesa Bianchi, partner and project director at Stefano Boeri Architetti. https://www.euronews.com/green/2023/05/25/utrechts-new-vertical-forest-will-be-home-to-10000-plants-and-trees-how-will-residents-ben

‘Wonderwoods’ is the latest green tower block design in the Netherlands from award-winning Italian architect Stefano Boeri.
