US climate research agency braces for ‘efficiency’ cuts: ‘They will gut the work’
26 Feb 2025  |  the Guardian  |  English  |  Science Policy
The Trump administration is targeting the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) with significant budget cuts and a political crackdown on climate science, potentially impacting the US's scientific leadership and public safety. Experts warn that dismantling NOAA could have severe consequences, as the agency plays a crucial role in providing climate data and emergency management resources. The administration's actions are part of a broader anti-science approach, with plans to privatize NOAA's functions and align leadership with the administration's views, raising concerns about the future of climate research and public services.

South Africa elections 2024: Zuma takes revenge as ANC set to lose majority
31 May 2024  |  www.thetimes.com  |  English  |  Corruption
The ANC is set to lose its majority in the 2024 South Africa elections, a significant decline from its previous 57.5% majority. The party's support has dwindled due to corruption scandals, economic stagnation, and high crime and unemployment rates. The Democratic Alliance, in second place, views the results as a positive step for South Africa. Cyril Ramaphosa's leadership is under scrutiny, with internal party debates on whether to form alliances with pragmatic or populist partners. Final election results will determine the composition of the National Assembly and the next president.

USAID’s demise raises fears for millions of lives across the Global South
13 Mar 2025  |  www.aljazeera.com  |  English  |  US Politics
The dismantling of USAID by the Trump administration has raised concerns about the resurgence of diseases like malaria in the Global South, particularly in the Mekong sub-region. The rollback of foreign aid threatens decades of progress against health crises, with significant cuts to programs combating tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and malnutrition. Humanitarian workers fear the loss of funding will lead to increased mortality rates, especially among vulnerable populations. The decision has been criticized for its lack of understanding of global aid dynamics and its politicization of previously bipartisan humanitarian efforts.

Pakistan eyes $100bn investment for ‘green energy revolution’
30 Jan 2025  |  www.thenews.com.pk  |  English  |  Climate Change
Pakistan is seeking $100 billion in investments to implement its renewable energy policies, aiming to generate 60% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. Federal Minister for Power Awais Ahmad Khan Leghari outlined the plan, which includes $18 billion for the National Energy Efficiency & Conservation Authority and incentives for electric vehicles. The government plans to increase eco-friendly electricity generation from 55% to 88% and has introduced a 'Wheeling Policy' to boost green energy. Senator Sherry Rehman criticized the slow progress in electric vehicle production and called for faster expansion of EV charging stations. The closure of high-emission power plants was praised, while concerns over water scarcity were addressed with solar-powered irrigation solutions.

Two Billionaires’ Big Plan to Shrink Government
04 Dec 2024  |  www.nytimes.com  |  English  |  Regulation Reduction
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, with the support of President-elect Trump, propose a plan to drastically reduce the federal government by cutting $2 trillion from the budget and reducing regulations. The plan involves creating a Department of Government Efficiency, leveraging a Supreme Court decision to challenge federal rules, and potentially relocating federal agencies. However, historical attempts to cut government spending have often failed due to congressional resistance and the complexity of federal programs. The article highlights the challenges and skepticism surrounding the feasibility of such large-scale cuts, noting the potential for political and practical obstacles.

Five years on: study sheds light on MacKenzie Scott’s impact on philanthropy
25 Feb 2025  |  Alliance magazine  |  English  |  Unrestricted Giving
MacKenzie Scott's unrestricted philanthropic approach has been transformative, with grantees experiencing significant growth. The Center for Effective Philanthropy's study highlights the positive impact of her $19 billion donations to over 2,000 organizations, though some skepticism remains about the effectiveness of such large, unrestricted gifts. Scott's method contrasts with traditional philanthropy, and while her peers have not fully adopted her approach, her giving is seen as crucial, especially in the context of reduced federal funding for women's health and reproductive rights. The long-term impact of her philanthropy is yet to be fully understood.

Donald Trump is preparing for his second term by assembling a team that includes Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, aiming to create a 'Department of Government Efficiency' to streamline federal operations. Musk's selection is based on his alignment with Trump's ideology and his influence in technology and business. While Musk's involvement could bring innovation, it raises concerns about accountability and potential conflicts of interest. The initiative could reshape U.S. governance by integrating tech-driven efficiency, but it also poses risks to transparency and social programs.

Black Workers Are Being Left Out of the Clean Energy Boom

The Environmental Protection Agency announced $7 billion in grants for solar energy programs aimed at low-income and historically disadvantaged areas. Despite significant investments in the clean energy sector, Black workers remain underrepresented, comprising only about 8% of the labor force. Advocacy groups and reports highlight the disparities and the need for better recruitment and retention strategies. Gabrielle Jadotte, now with WeSolar, emphasizes the industry's exclusivity and the importance of community-focused projects. The American Clean Power Association is working to improve diversity through strategic partnerships and inclusive hiring policies. Opportunities for Black workers in clean energy extend beyond solar firms to various roles that do not necessarily require a four-year degree.

How the party of Mandela failed South Africa
27 Apr 2024  |  Yahoo Entertainment  |  English  |  Social Issues
The African National Congress (ANC), once led by Nelson Mandela, is facing significant disillusionment in Soweto, South Africa, as it approaches elections. Residents express frustration with unemployment, corruption, and unfulfilled promises, with many considering voting for opposition parties or abstaining from politics. The ANC's dominance since 1994 is threatened by its declining vote share, expected to fall below 50% for the first time, potentially leading to coalition governance. The Democratic Alliance, Economic Freedom Fighters, and Jacob Zuma's new party are key players in the shifting political landscape. Analysts and citizens alike criticize the ANC's handling of the economy, infrastructure, and social issues, with the upcoming elections seen as a critical juncture for the country's future.
