#BC #canada The new government plans to repeal the CleanBC Roadmap to 2030, removing the province’s foundational climate action strategy aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40 per cent by 2030. They will also end the zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sales quota, and overhaul of the green building Step Code to freely allow the use of gas for heating, hot water and cooking https://saobserver.net/2026/11/04/viewpoint-climate-protection-gains-at-risk-under-new-b-c-government/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

NEW: Despite a legal requirement to do so, Vermont never audited a water project that’s cost nearly a billion. “I find it amazing that they haven’t done the audit and that somebody in the legislature did not hold them to account,” said a former lawmaker. https://www.propublica.org/article/vermont-clean-water-act-champlain-audit?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post#News #Vermont #Environment #Water #Lake #Pollution #Law

Vermont Was Supposed to Get an Audit of Its Lake Champlain Cleanup. It Never Happened.

Halfway through a 20-year push to get Vermont’s waterways in line with tougher EPA standards, some lawmakers worry the project’s strategies aren’t as cost-effective as they could be — especially as a state-mandated audit was never done.

Global biodiversity summit ends with shortfall of funding for Africa, despite 30x30 push

African countries left the United Nations biodiversity conference in Yerevan, Armenia, with an unresolved funding gap for conservation. International funding for protected and conserved areas in Africa fell significantly even as countries are working toward a global agreement to protect 30% of the world’s land and oceans by 2030, known as the 30×30 goal.

Reservoir, human activity impact Ravi River's surface water availability by fivefold

What does a healthy river look like? For most of us, an obvious answer would involve two aspects: water flowing through a channel and green vegetation along its banks. However, in reality, a river's health depends on several factors, such as how much water flows through it, how water moves through the landscape, how that flow changes with the seasons, how sediment moves downstream, how often it spills into its floodplain and how these processes change with the seasons.

Extreme heat no longer confined to summer, extending health risks, study finds

There was a time when, across large swathes of the world, the seasons fed into each other in a relatively predictable cycle of warmer and colder weather. In temperate nations, frigid winter thawed into spring. Spring bloomed into summer, where extreme heat beat down until cooler weather provided autumn’s relief. No longer. A recent study […]
