A recent study addresses rising negative interactions between humans and animals and proposes population control measures as long-term solutions, while emphasising the need for continued research.

The 29th edition of the International Yearbook of Industrial Statistics offers a detailed analysis of global industrial performance using recent data. With dedicated chapters on manufacturing, mining, and utilities, it highlights sector-specific trends in response to crises, emphasizing challenges and resilience.

In a trade-connected world, an adverse impact on economic growth on account of temperature shock in one economy may have a spillover effect on other economies. The current study quantitatively evaluates the impact of temperature shock on economic growth, during 1971--2019 for 168 economies, through direct and spillover channels.

Farming is an important livelihood and significant contributor to employment and food security in rural parts of the Near East and North Africa (NENA) region. But climate change is increasingly shaping the viability of rural livelihoods in NENA countries.

The brief by IRENA, highlights North Africa’s large renewable energy potential and explores its current policy environment to support the energy transition and the deployment of renewable energy in the coming years.

The Ethiopian economy relies predominantly on rainfed agriculture for income generation, export earnings, and rural livelihoods. However, the frequency and intensity of extreme ago-climatic events projected by climate scenarios suggest considerable and growing risks from climate change to the country’s agri-food systems and the overall economy.

The energy transition will require a major scale-up in the deployment of renewable energy with both public and private finance playing critical roles.

In many low- and middle-income countries, sewage sludge generated from wastewater treatment systems has potential environmental and health hazards.

Rapid deployment of low-emission fuels during this decade will be crucial to accelerate the decarbonisation of the transport sector. Significant electrification opportunities are available for the road transport sector, while the aviation and marine sectors continue to be more reliant on fuel-based solutions for their decarbonisation.

Actions by governments in the Group of Seven (G7) can play a vital role in advancing inclusive, secure and sustainable energy transitions worldwide and addressing the climate crisis.
