The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Biodiversity knows no 'national boundaries' and nations must protect species from rising consumption, dams and industry
China and India could together decide the future of the global environment, a team of senior scientists warn today in a call for closer collaboration on conservation by the world's two most populous nations.
Writing in the journal Science , the eight coauthors — including zoologists from both nations — warn of the security and biodiversity threat posed by rising consumption, dam construction and industrial emissions.
The ecological footprint of the two fast-emerging Asian economies has already spread beyond their borders and with future economic growth rates likely to continue at 8% for several years, the experts say ... |

US proposal to ban polar bear trade voted down at UN wildlife meeting
|
18.3.2010 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species decided a ban would hurt indigenous economies
A US-backed proposal to ban the international trade of polar bear skins, teeth and claws was defeated today at a UN wildlife meeting over concerns it would hurt indigenous economies and arguments the practice didn't pose a significant threat to the animals.
The US argued at the 175-nation Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, or Cites , that the sale of polar bears skins was compounding the loss of the animals' sea ice habitat due to climate change. There are projections that the bear's numbers, which are estimated at 20,000 to 25,000 , could decline by two-thirds by 2050 because of habitat loss in the Arctic.

| Obama's foreign policy so far has had disappointing results. But if he made a shaky start, more blame lies with others
When was the last time you heard anyone enthusing about Barack Obama's foreign policy? When was the last time you did so yourself? Over the last year, his outstretched hand of friendship has been bitten or brushed aside by China, Russia and Iran. His administration has just been snubbed by Israel. It is not at all clear that his surge in Afghanistan is working, while Pakistan still teeters on the brink. European governments' passion for the new US president has proved fickle. His eloquent opening to the Islamic world seems to have run into the sand. The Copenhagen summit on climate change fizzled out in mutual recrimination ... |

Carbon capture storage will 'generate 100,000 jobs £6.5bn a year'

Guardian: Environment |
| Ed Miliband unveils strategy to encourage growth of unproven technology for next generation of coal-fired power stations
The UK's carbon capture and storage (CCS) sector will be able to sustain 100,000 jobs by 2030 and generate up to £6.5bn a year, the government claimed today.
Unveiling a new strategy to encourage the growth of CCS, the energy and climate change secretary, Ed Miliband, said it represents a "massive industrial growth opportunity".
The government also announced that Yorkshire and Humber had been chosen as the UK's first low-carbon economic area for CCS.
The region has been chosen because it combines the UK's largest cluster of industrial CO2 emitters, academic expertise and proximity to potential storage sites.
