Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the Asean (东盟) region are estimated to increase in the same period, based on the latest Nationally determined contributions (NDC) targets up to 2030.

To keep the Paris Agreement temperature goal within reach, Dr Beni Suryadi, Centre for Energy Manager at the Asean Secretariat, stated that ASEAN needs to achieve 1 emissions as soon as possible after 2030 and net-zero GHG emissions as soon as possible after 2050.

However, 2 of the growth in GDP and energy-related CO2 emissions is observed only in a handful of the Asean member states.

“It is vital to reduce energy intensity through lower energy demand and further energy savings and to reduce emission intensity by 3 renewable energy expansion,” he said.

“Current policies need to be enhanced to achieve the NDC targets. The 4 under the NDCs will provide Asean with a better perspective of the need for a more ambitious course of action on mitigation（缓解） in the future. Ambitious energy policies can significantly reduce GHG emission and helps our 5 towards low carbon economies and climate resilient nations.”

Earlier in his presentation, Dr Beni highlighted, “a brief record-breaking drop in climate change – causing carbon emissions during the height of the coronavirus pandemic. However, nowadays we continue to hear the news and read reports that say that global emissions have already 6 to near pre-pandemic levels”.

“While we are grateful to learn that the economy is reviving and we see economic activities taking place everywhere, there is a(n) 7 need for us to limit the growth of emissions. Global GHG emissions continue to rise, at a time when they need to be rapidly falling.”

At the global level, he said, “It is recorded that almost three-quarters of the GHG emissions come from energy use; almost one-fifth from agriculture and land use; and the 8 eight per cent from industry and waste”.

He also noted that the electricity and transport sectors start out as and remain the biggest 9 of GHGs and air pollution in Asean.

“If the Asean member states do what is needed to fully achieve their own national energy efficiency and renewable energy targets, as well as their climate commitments, Asean’s total energy- related GHG emissions in 2040 will be 3,002 MtCO2-eq, 28 per cent lower than in the baseline scenario.

“Power generation remains the largest sectoral contributor, accounting for about 40 per cent and 46 per cent of total GHG emissions from energy in 2025 and 2040, 10 .

“Furthermore, if Asean fulfilled its regional aspirational targets on the energy efficiency and renewable energy, Asean will be able to reduce GHG emissions more sharply to only 2,264 Mt CO2-eq in 2040,” he said.

Is rental fashion the future?

With a cost-of-living crisis and climate awareness sitting heavily at the forefront of our minds, many of us are having to make choices about what we 1 . Fashion is one of them. As of 2021, UK households 2 approximately 57.3 billion British pounds on clothing, significantly contributing to the very real effects of climate change that can be felt around the world.

Even the fastest of fashion retailers are taking note; this summer, BooHoo announced that they will be 3 a returns fee to try and help customers reflect on overshopping habits. Meanwhile, Love Island teamed up with eBay as their official partner for 2022’s series, 4 avoiding their usual tie-ins.

However, there will still be times where a new item feels like a 5 treat: to attend a wedding, to suit the requirements of a job interview, for that much-needed; confidence 6 on a date. For those who love to shop, getting oneself completely out of retail seems a little like a punishment, taking away yet another source of joy during already-undesirable times.

So here comes rental fashion. The set-up is simple. Rent three, five or ten items andswap (替换) every month, with prices starting from £39 a month for a three-item. In the case of any accidents, do not fear 7 and light damages (think broken zips and small stains) are accounted for in the pricing, as is laundry. If you fall in love, there are options to keep certain items longer, or if you’re not in the market for anything new, your 8 can be easily paused or cancelled.

At the end of each cycle, you’ll receive an email reminding you to choose your next box. With a three-item return, items can be returned at a local drop-off point, whilst bigger parcels will be 9 when the team make their next delivery. Think of it a kind of clothing library, where items are rotated in and out of your life instead of 10 dust.

Chemical Pollution Has Passed Safe Global Limit

Chemical pollution threatens Earth’s systems by damaging the biological and physical processes that support all life. For example, pesticides (杀虫剂) wipe out many non-target insects, which are 1 to all ecosystems and, therefore, to the supply of clean air, water and food.

“There has been an increase 50 times in the 2 of chemicals since 1950 and this is projected to become three times as much again by 2050,” said Patricia, who was part of the study team. “The 3 that societies are producing and releasing new chemicals into the environment is not in agreement with staying within a safe operating space for humanity.”

Determining whether chemical pollution has crossed a planetary border is complex because there is no pre-human 4 , unlike with the climate crisis and the pre-industrial level of CO₂in the atmosphere. There are a huge number of chemical compounds 5 for use—about 350,000—and only a tiny proportion of these have been assessed for safety.

So the research used a combination of measurements to 6 the situation. These included the rate of production of chemicals, which is rising rapidly, and their release into the environment, which is happening much faster than the ability of authorities to track the effects.

The well-known negative effects of some chemicals were also part of the assessment. The scientists 7 that the data was limited in many areas, but said the weight of evidence pointed to a break of the planetary boundary. “There’s evidence that things are 8 in the wrong direction every step of the way,” said Prof Bethanie Carney Almroth, who was part of the team. “For example, the total mass of plastics now is greater than the total mass of all living mammals (哺乳动物). That to me is a pretty clear indication that we’ve crossed a border. We’re in trouble, but there are things we can do to 9 some of this.”

Patricia said that 10 to a circular economy was really important and that meant changing materials and products so they can be reused.”

New Path to Plastics

A crucial component could come from existing carbon sources.Ethylene (乙烯)is the world's most popular industrial chemical.Consumers and industry demand 150 million tons every year, and most of it goes into countless plastic products, from electronics to textiles.To get ethylene, energy companies crack hydrocarbons (碳氢化合物)from natural gas in a process that requires a lot of heat and energy, 1 to climate change - causing emissions.

Scientists recently made ethylene by combining carbon dioxide gas, water and organic molecules (分子)on the surface of a copper catalyst (催化剂)inside an electrolyzer - a device that uses electricity to drive a chemical reaction.The 2 , described last November online in Nature, could point the way toward using carbon dioxide as feed-stock for chemicals and potentially fuels, helping to reduce 3 on fossil fuels and to put a dent in industrial carbon emission.

The discovery grows out of work published last year by University of Toronto engineer Ted Sargent, describing a similar process that used more electricity and was less 4 overall.So Sargent says he 5 out researchers at the California Institute of Technology who are "black belts in molecular design and synthesis."

Caltech chemists Jonas Peters and Theodor Agapie and their colleagues experimented with organic molecules to add to the copper catalyst.An arylpyridinum salt turned out to be the Goldilocks molecule, Sargent says it formed a water-insoluble (不溶于水的)film (薄膜)on the copper that 6 the carbon dioxide so its molecules reacted most efficiently with one another, without slowing down the reaction.The result was more ethylene, with fewer by-products such as methane (甲烷)and hydrogen.

Still, the process must become even more efficient before it can be commercially 7 and use carbon scrubbed or captured from facilities such as coal-or gas -burning power plants.Lower energy costs, already 8 with renewable energy sources such as wind, could also help make it more 9 .

"This is a(n) 10 breakthrough," says Randy Cortright, a senior research advisesr at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colo., who was not involved in the study.This result, he says, is "something that a lot of people are going to pay attention to, and they're going to be able to build on."

Jul 8, 2021 — On July 25, executive producers Ridley Scott and Kai Hsuing, along with director Kevin Macdonald will invite the global community to pick up cameras to create “Life In A Day 2022”.

In 2010, “Life In A Day” brought the online community together for a massive feature film project that 1 8,000 submissions. The final film was released in 2011, and has been watched over 16 million times ever since.

Exactly 12 years after the 2 “Life In A Day,” the world will once again come together to create the second YouTube documentary that tells the story of a single day on Earth. Selected footage from participants like you will be woven together in this documentary to tell the story of an ordinary day during these extraordinary times.

On a single day, Saturday, July 25, people around the world are invited to film their day. Maybe you’ll be filming from home, or maybe you’re in a part of the world where you’re figuring out how to move forward in a different place. Maybe you’re 3 with friends, reuniting with family, or going to work. Maybe it’s a special day — you are getting married, moving out, and sharing important news. Or maybe it’s just a normal day. We want to weave together these 4 experiences and ideas to create a time capsule of this moment.

The final feature film will be edited over the 5 of five months, produced entirely through what is found in the submitted footage. Once the submission window closes, a 30-person team of multilingual reviewers will 6 the translation process of the submitted videos. At present, the filmmakers are encouraging people from all over the world to take part, and they hope to capture a wide 7 on life. Submissions are open from July 25 to August 2, which means you will only have one week to submit your footage.

While only a small number of the submitted clips will make it into the movie, the filmmakers hope the filming day itself becomes a significant day of global participation. The “Life In A Day 2022” project celebrates the importance of everyone’s coming together in a moment of equal worldwide 8 . Looking forward to your participation!
