DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Plans to push South Africa and Indonesia off coal sputtered. So have offshore wind farms on the New Jersey and British coasts, and a green hydrogen project in an Italian port city.Climate projects around the world are sinking because of high borrowing costs driven by interest rates — jeopardizing a major plank of the international effort to prevent the most catastrophic damage from warming temperatures.Many of the nations gathered at this month’s COP28 climate summit in Dubai, including the United States, have set a goal of tripling global renewable energy capacity by the end of this decade.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:09:08 GMT

Gaza’s health system “is on its knees and collapsing,” the head of the World Health Organization said on Sunday, as Israel pressed ahead with its military offensive in the Palestinian enclave.

The WHO is also getting reports of high levels of diarrhea-like diseases and respiratory infections. The situation is only expected to worsen as fighting continues, he said. Half of Gaza’s population is also starving, the Deputy Director of the U.N. World Food Program Carl Skau, according to the BBC. Despite the war, patients continue to need routine health care, with over 180 women giving birth every day and 2,000 patients on cancer therapy. But with just 14 hospitals ou...
