usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/04/19/consumer-report-pesticides-in-produce-report/73369022007/
Quick Glance: Consumer Reports' Investigation on Pesticides in Food

- The analysis showed that specific fruits and vegetables present a higher risk due to the type of pesticides detected on them.
- Both watermelons and green beans are classified as high-risk items because of the pesticides present. It was noted that watermelons harbored the pesticide Oxamyl.

reuters.com/world/un-climate-chief-says-two-years-save-planet-2024-04-10/
Quick Glance: U.N. climate chief emphasizes urgency in global climate action
- Governments worldwide are urged to act within two years to prevent worsening climate change, with a focus on halving greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 to avoid a significant temperature increase. Despite rising emissions last year, current commitments are insufficient in reducing global emissions by 2030.
- The next two years are crucial for saving the planet, according to the Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Stronger national climate plans are deemed essential, especially from the G20 countries, responsible for 80% of global emissions. A key goal of this year's UN climate negotiations is to establish a new climate finance target to aid developing nations in transitioning away from fossil fuels.
- Efforts are being made to provide more climate finance through debt relief, affordable financing for poorer countries, new international funding sources like a shipping emissions tax, and reforms at institutions such as the World Bank and IMF. Additionally, calls are made for a revamp of capital requirements and increased use of Climate Resilient Debt Clauses at the World Bank. Politicians worldwide are urged to prioritize climate action as it often takes a backseat on government agendas.
