Ecological ( food)

SIGNAL:

Savor, a California-based startup backed by Bill Gates, has developed a technology that turns carbon into cooking fats, oils, and other food products.

SO WHAT:

Low carbon foot print: This article shows howCO2 can be converted to butter.

1. This drastic reduction highlights the potential to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions associated with food production

2. Other food companies may be inspired by this method of sustainability and progress with the same mindset

Minimal Resource Use:

1. With being able to replace cows with gas, this process will be saving alot of resourses and reduce the need to destroy the enviroment

2. killing two birds with one stone by reducing the gas emitted by cows and human activities (factories)

Sustainable Production Process:

This will be able to make use of the CO2 gas (that is one of the factors of climate change) and convert into something sustainable and overall decrease the amount of CO2 in the air

DRIVER:

( CLIMATE CHANGE)Urgent need to address the impacts of how traditional farming contributes to the release of greenhouse gases.

( ALTERNATIVE FOOD)As well as the increase in demand for alternative sustainable food options.

:Most libraries in England, Wales and Northern Ireland will again offer “warm banks” this winter as cost of living pressures continue, according to a survey

SO WHAT:

Safe space: These space are created to form a non-judgmental space or people who are financially struggling to make ends meet.

Demand for safe spaces and services:

1. Rising cost and u\Ukraine war affecting England, libaries are expecting a higher demand for spaces which reflects how bad the housing situation is.

Community impact: These spaces bring the community together as people make connections with each other to help others who are in need

DRIVER:

(ECONOMIC HARDSHIP) The rising cost of living has forced many to choose between heating their homes and other essential expenses. Hence, these liabaries are their sources to keep them warm in winter.

(Community Support Initiatives): Libraries are offering warmth, companionship and various support services. Examples are providing free hot drinks, cultural activities, and advice on budgeting and energy conservation

(PUBLIC RESPONSE): This article highlights the importance of community support and how it can uplift those in need, demonstrating a strong public response to the need for community support during winter

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Most libraries in England, Wales and Northern Ireland will again offer "warm banks" this winter as cost of living pressures continue, according to a survey.

Of the libraries surveyed, 93% are preparing to offer free, heated spaces for visitors during the cold months as part of a warm spaces scheme. The "warm hubs" initiatives began in 2022 when energy prices rose after the the Russia-Ukraine war began.

Among those libraries offering warm spaces, 79% expect demand to be higher or about the same as last year. No responding libraries said that they expect demand to be lower.

The research covered 57 libraries and was conducted by Libraries Connected, a charity representing the services in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Crown Dependencies.

"With temperatures dropping, and the price of essentials continuing to rise, it is a sad fact that many people will again be wondering how they will heat their homes this winter," said Isobel Hunter, chief executive of Libraries Connected.

"Libraries will be there to offer a warm space and a warm welcome - not only to those who are struggling to pay their energy bills, but anyone who's looking for company, conversation or advice," she added. "And that's on top of all the wonderful things libraries do every single day, for free. Once again our libraries are proving themselves to be a vital community resource."

Of the libraries taking part in a warm spaces scheme, 74% will also host entertainment and cultural activities, such as board games, yoga and craft clubs, 70% will provide free hot drinks and 66% will run advice sessions on topics such as household budgeting. Some will also provide warm items, such as hot-water bottles and blankets, as well as menstrual and sanitary products.

51% said that they have not received or do not expect to receive additional funding to operate the warm banks. While 28% said that they have or will receive extra funding, 21% said that they do not know about funding provision.

Libraries Connected is a partner of Warm Welcome, which supports a network of more than 7,000 warm spaces across the UK. Research published in May found that more than half a million people accessed warm spaces during the previous winter.

"I was genuinely shocked and delighted at just how many libraries got involved in the Warm Welcome campaign last winter, and how creative they were in serving their communities and providing places of connection and belonging," said campaign director David Barclay.

"My hope for this winter is that through engaging in Warm Welcome, libraries up and down the country can demonstrate what a crucial piece of our social infrastructure they truly are and can receive the recognition and support they so richly deserve," he added.

The first warm spaces will open later this month, after clocks go back.

SIGNAL:( socio-political )

H&M has signed a legally binding agreement on specifically eliminating gender-based violence in the workplace with an Indian apparel & textile manufacturer.

This enables shop-floor monitors to advise workers on how to access and navigate grievance mechanisms

Monitor for any form of retaliation against a worker who has raised a complaint.

SO WHAT:

1. Industry-Wide Changes: H&M's legally binding agreement to address gender-based violence may inspire other fashion brands to adopt similar commitments. This could lead to a broader movement within the industry to prioritize worker safety and rights, particularly for women, who are often disproportionately affected by workplace harassment.

2. Shift in Consumer Expectations: As awareness of workplace issues grows, consumers may begin to demand more transparency and ethical practices from brands. This shift could pressure companies to take proactive measures against workplace violence and harassment, aligning their practices with consumer values

3. Potential for Legal Precedents: H&M's agreement is noted as one of the first of its kind in the fashion industry. If successful, it could set legal precedents that encourage regulatory bodies to enforce stricter labor laws related to workplace safety and harassment.

DRIVER:

Tragic Incident: The murder of Jeyasre Kathiravel in January 2021, allegedly by her supervisor, underscored the extreme risks faced by women in the workplace. Reports indicated that she had previously experienced sexual harassment and intimidation.

Corporate Responsibility: H&M's commitment reflects a growing recognition of corporate responsibility to ensure safe working conditions throughout their supply chains.

Public Outcry and Advocacy: Following Kathiravel's death, there was a strong public outcry and advocacy from labor rights organizations, unions, and activists demanding accountability and reform within the industry.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
H&M has signed a legally binding agreement to end sexual violence and harassment against women workers at one of its largest Indian suppliers, following the murder of a young garment worker by her supervisor last year.

In January 2021, Jeyasre Kathiravel, a 20-year-old Dalit woman, was found dead on farmland near her family home after finishing a shift at Natchi Apparel, a factory making clothes for H&M in Kaithian Kottai, Tamil Nadu.

Her supervisor reportedly confessed to her murder and is awaiting trial. Her family also allege that she was raped before she was killed, and had suffered sexual harassment and intimidation at work in the months before her death, but felt powerless to prevent the abuse.

An independent investigation last year by the Worker Rights Consortium (WRC), which has not yet been made public, heard testimony from other female workers of widespread gender-based violence at Natchi Apparel, and H&M and Eastman Exports then began talks with the Tamil Nadu Textile and Common Labour Union (TTCU), as well as regional and international labour rights groups.

The legally binding agreement that resulted is only the second of its kind in the fashion industry, and the first time a brand has ever signed up to an initiative to tackle gender-based violence in Asia's garment industry, where a workforce of mostly poor women make millions of tons of clothing for UK high streets every year.

Under the terms of the agreement, all workers, supervisors and executives will have to undergo gender-based violence training and the TTCU will recruit and train female workers as "shopfloor monitors" who will ensure women are protected from verbal harassment and sexual intimidation.

The agreement also overhauls Natchi's internal complaints committees, a mechanism required under Indian law in all workplaces but which has failed for decades to protect women from male violence at the Natchi factories.

Women will now be able to report sexual harassment anonymously to an independent panel that will have the power to dismiss perpetrators and seek financial compensation for victims and their families.

Subhash Tiwari, director at Eastman Exports, said: "It is our top priority to make sure that women on our shopfloors are safe and to do that women must be able to be seen and heard and feel empowered to report if something goes wrong.

"We will not allow any kind of infraction of the terms of this agreement. This is not just zero tolerance, what we want is a complete elimination of harassment and all forms of violence against our female employees."

Thivya Rakini, state president of the TTCU, said the agreement was a victory for women in the workplace.

"We believe this has the power to change things and has meant that something good has come from the terrible tragedy of Jeyasre's death. This has shown the power of a Dalit woman workforce to seek justice and we look forward to working with factory management."

The Asia Floor Wage Alliance (AFWA) and the international labour rights group Global Labor Justice-International Labor Rights Forum (GLJ-ILRF), also co-signatories to the agreement, said that this should be seen as a moment of change for the fashion industry.

Anannya Bhattacharjee, international coordinator at AFWA, said: "We are confident that this agreement can be a model for change across the global garment industry, where gender-based violence is endemic and still largely disregarded and ignored."

Jennifer Rosenbaum, of the GLJ-ILRF, said: "This enforceable agreement is a model for how to bring about real change with collaboration among brands, suppliers, unions and global labour partners."

In a statement, H&M said Jeyasre Kathiravel's death was a tragedy, and the company's thoughts were with her family.

"H&M Group wants to do our utmost to contribute to systemic and positive change in the industry and have therefore signed an agreement to work together with industry stakeholders to address, prevent and remedy gender-based violence and sexual harassment," a spokesperson said. "We expect this agreement to contribute to a broader industry-wide initiative going forward."

In 2019, the US brands Levi Strauss, Wrangler Jeans and The Children's Place signed the Lesotho Agreement, the first industry accord to tackle gender-based violence after a WRC investigation that uncovered the systematic sexual assault of more than 120 women at three jeans factories in Lesotho.

India with industrial areas focused on coal production are now facing dire climate-related health impacts

Several diseases are spreading at a much faster pace, India is struggling with reduced or lack of milk production post-birth.

SO WHAT:

Pollution in the air: Due to India being one of the second-largest coal producers, burning coal pollutes the air with many gases which will bring up concerns on the health of woman.

Health concerns: Woman in India are experiencing insufficient milk production after childbirth, which is attributed to climate-related health issues.

Economy: companies providing powdered milk/ authentic cow milk market may rise due to mother not being able to produce milk

People who can afford may migrate overseas and leave india permanently.

At least eight cities in India with industrial areas focused on coal production including Bilaspur, Raipur, and Bhilai are now facing dire climate-related health impacts. While several diseases are spreading at a much faster pace, the National Family Health Survey has also shared that mothers across India are struggling with reduced or lack of milk production post-birth.

So what?

Taking a more integrated approach, the National Program for Climate Change and Human Health Program is now working on tackling excessive coal smoke and restoring landscapes such as water quality and green cover.

While these are steps in the right direction, questions still linger around what the long-term effects of these health impacts are on the people. How will this impact questions of food security and nutrition in the region? With growing prices and subsequent disparities, how will the public sector tackle the inaccessibility of necessary nutrition in the form of formula or milk for newborns and children?

HEADLINE:

Two Days of Meat, Five Days of Greens: Singapore's New Balanced Diet Law"

SUBHEAD:

Balancing Nutrition and Nature: A Law to Limit Meat Consumption for Healthier Lives

FIRST PARAGRAPH:

Imagine a society where meat consumption is limited to just two days a week, with a plant-based diet encouraged for the remaining five. Under this new law, Singaporeans will track their meat purchases through a digital account, which has a cap on the amount they can buy. This policy aims to reduce excessive meat consumption linked to chronic health issues like heart disease and diabetes, promoting healthier lifestyles. By reducing meat access, the government hopes to improve public health and encourage a shift toward more sustainable, plant-based eating habits. It's not just a meal—it's a lifestyle change.
