Sectorial Certifications: One Part Of The Solution?

Europe was first interested in agro fuels for several reasons: the opportunities to diversify EC’s agriculture, to achieve the GHG emission reductions’ goals and to move gradually from dependence on oil.

UN-backed Roadmap For Halving Auto Emissions Unveiled In Geneva

With the world's car fleet expected to triple by 2050, a road map to halve greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles by that date was laid out today at the Geneva Motor Show by UNEP and partner organizations.

State Of World Fisheries And Aquaculture

According to the latest edition of the FAO's State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture (SOFIA), existing responsible fishing practices need to be more widely implemented and current management plans should be expanded to include strategies for coping with climate change.

Promising Alternative To Embryonic Stem Cells

A study released yesterday presents a new method of creating stem cells that could lead to possible cures for devastating diseases including spinal cord injury, macular degeneration, diabetes and Parkinson's disease. The study, to be published by Nature online, accelerates stem cell technology and provides a road map for new clinical approaches to regenerative medicine.

Malaria Control Measures Making Advances In Fight Against Deadly Disease

Although progress has been made towards reducing malaria deaths, currently around 1 million a year, to near zero by the end of 2015, the international community needs to intensify its efforts to reach the goal, stressed a new United Nations report published today.

Researchers Capture Wave Of Brain Activity Linked To Anticipation

Neuroscientists at Georgetown University Medical Center have, for the first time, shown what brain activity looks like when someone anticipates an action or sensory input which soon follows.

New Findings Measure Precise Impact Of Fat On Cancer Spread

Researchers at Purdue University have precisely measured the impact of a high-fat diet on the spread of cancer, finding that excessive dietary fat caused a 300 percent increase in metastasizing tumor cells in laboratory animals.

Hotter Days, Increased Hospitalizations For Respiratory Problems

High summer temperatures, pushed higher by global climate change, may bring with them a spike in hospitalizations for respiratory problems, according to an analysis of data from twelve European cities, from Dublin to Valencia.

Climate Neutral Network

Launched a year ago with an initial four countries, four cities and five companies, the CN Net today brings together a wide range of participants, including countries big and small, some of the world's best-known cities, major international companies, UN agencies and leading NGOs.

Sublingual sugar

Nearly 800,000 children die every year from malaria. In Africa, malaria combined with hypoglycaemia causes many of these children to die before they get to a health care facility, where they could access life saving intravenous treatment. A clinical trial held in Mali, with the support of Antenna Technologies, suggests that placing a spoonful of sugar under the child's tongue can be as effective and moreover much simpler than a glucose injection.

DxBox: 'Astronaut food approach' to medical testing

Dehydrated, wallet-sized malaria tests promise better diagnoses in developing world

Voracious Sponges Save Reef

Tropical oceans are known as the deserts of the sea. And yet this unlikely environment is the very place where the rich and fertile coral reef grows. Caves in the coral reef ensure the reef’s continued existence. Although sponges in these coral caves take up a lot of dissolved organic material, they scarcely grow. However, they do discard a lot of cells that in turn provide food for the organisms on the reef.

Mobile Phones To Monitor Child Health

The “RapidSMS” text-messaging system, to be finalized by graduate students from Columbia University, was first developed in Ethiopia to monitor food supplies and will now be used to map and track child malnutrition trends in Malawi more accurately and in real time, enabling quick responses to unfolding food and nutritional crises.
