O país possui uma rede de monitoramento da qualidade do ar concentrada no Sudeste, onde estão 80% das estações automáticas. Já regiões como o Norte e o Nordeste enfrentam dificuldades para obter dados precisos, o que compromete políticas públicas eficazes. - IEMA, 2023.

Women have a right to feed their babies breast milk free of #PFAS. Our own research found PFAS in 100% of tested breast milk.

We can't protect our health when PFAS are put into products & there is no transparency & no safeguards from the most hazardous chemicals.

The US Administration has been extremely generous over many years, & it is within its rights to decide what it supports, and to what extent.

But the abrupt cuts in funding from the US are putting at risk decades of progress in various health programmes across the world.

Global investment in nuclear energy doubled between 2010 & 2023

And it needs to double again to $120 billion to reach countries' goals

Public funding alone will not be sufficient to build a new era for nuclear: greater private financing will be key 👉 iea.li/4kT3Dp2

Access to fundamental data sets is often withheld or limited by gate-keeping national agencies, and these restrictions have huge consequences, says climate scientist Santiago Beguería.

Governments must stop hoarding climate data
National agencies too often use spurious reasons to deny researchers unfettered access to resources that are key to understanding past and future climate change.

From a source: “Just had a co-presenter for a buildings research conference bow out. She’s a dual citizen and the FBI came knocking to ask her about her involvement in coauthoring chunks of the Paris Agreement.

Climate science is being literally (and I mean literally) criminalized.”

The state went a record 98 of 116 days providing up to 10 hours of electricity with renewables alone.

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.
