On September 12, 2024, WECAN launched its "Gendered and Racial Impacts of the Fossil Fuel Industry in North America" report. This fourth edition details how fossil fuel extraction disproportionately harms women, particularly in Black, Brown, Indigenous, and low-income communities, leading to increased health risks, violence, and human rights violations. It also identifies complicit financial institutions and recommends steps for accountability and a just transition.

The virtual launch featured frontline women leaders, health experts, and advocates. Speakers like Roishetta Sibley Ozane, Rene Ann Goodrich, Sharon Lavigne, and Casey Camp Horinek demanded that financial institutions take action to protect communities, ecosystems, and the climate.

Recreational fisheries are crucial to Mediterranean and Black Sea coastal economies and culture, yet they remain poorly documented. Limited and inconsistent data collection across countries

Recreational fisheries are crucial to Mediterranean and Black Sea coastal economies and culture, yet they remain poorly documented. Limited and inconsistent data collection across countries hinders effective policymaking.

To address these significant knowledge gaps, the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) launched a dedicated research programme in 2024. This initiative, rolled out in 13 countries, applies standardized data collection regionally, making fisher collaboration essential. The ultimate goal is to strengthen sustainable fisheries management. For more information, visit the GFCM website: https://www.fao.org/gfcm/en/

Black soldier flies (BSF) provide a practical bioeconomy solution, converting food waste into high-protein livestock feed and organic frass fertilizer. This closes nutrient loops, reduces resource pressure, and minimizes urban waste, making BSF a powerful ally for zero-waste initiatives.

The BioDAF II project, "Circular bioeconomy in Abidjan: From food waste to fork," scales this approach. It transforms urban food waste into agricultural inputs, supports livelihoods, and improves waste management. Learn more about FAO's sustainable bioeconomy efforts here.
