pbs.org/newshour/politics/coal-fired-plants-will-have-to-capture-emissions-or-shut-down-says-strict-new-epa-rule
Quick Glance: New EPA Rules Target Emissions Reduction at Power Plants
- The Biden administration aims to compel coal-fired power plants to capture smokestack emissions or close down.
- The rules target limiting greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel power plants and reducing toxic pollutants from coal-fired plants.
- The plan includes measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, toxic wastewater pollutants, and safely manage coal ash.
- The actions are expected to face opposition from industry groups and Republican-leaning states, while environmental groups see it as a crucial step in combating climate change.

Quick Glance: Combatting Malaria: Challenges and Solutions
- Progress in reducing malaria has stalled in recent years, especially in African regions. Pregnant women, young children, and other vulnerable groups continue to have limited access to malaria services.
- Infants and young children are disproportionately affected by malaria, especially in poorer households in sub-Saharan Africa. Pregnant women are at increased risk of malaria due to immunity loss.
- Refugees, migrants, and indigenous peoples are also at higher risk of malaria and often lack access to necessary services.
- Climate change and humanitarian emergencies contribute to making vulnerable populations more susceptible to malaria. Measures like combating discrimination and integrating malaria control interventions into universal health coverage can help achieve a malaria-free world.

Quick Glance: Over 280 Million People Worldwide Affected by Severe Hunger
- Nearly 282 million individuals across various countries faced acute hunger in 2023, with the war-torn Gaza Strip having the highest number of people experiencing famine.
- The United Nations report revealed that 24 million more people were dealing with acute food shortages compared to 2022, primarily due to a significant decline in food security, especially in Gaza and Sudan.
