The tournament is the first of the four Grand Slam tennis events held each year, preceding the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. – Djokovic record bid –Djokovic, who had not tasted defeat at the Australian Open since 2018, lacked his usual metronomic consistency as the super-cool Sinner raced into a 3-0 lead.

COP28: The good, the bad and the ugly of the global stocktake text
COP28’s outcomes reflect the good, the bad, and the ugly of the COP process in particular, and multilateralism more broadly. The commitment to triple renewable energy capacity globally and doubling energy efficiency by 2030 presents “a good” outcome and indeed one of the biggest wins from Dubai. Last year, the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) Net Zero Roadmap released a report showing scaling up renewable energy as an important way to attain global climate goals. In addition, 123 countries signed the Global Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Pledge at COP28 to triple global renewable capacity and double global energy efficiency improvements by 2030, and expand financial support for scaling renewable energy and eficiency programmes in emerging markets and developing economies. It is equally distressing that climate finance, especially for adaptation, has been decreasing instead of growing at a time of worsening climate crisis.

How will Lagosians survive without plastics?
The Lagos State government has banned the usage and distribution of Styrofoam and other single-use plastics across the state. The Lagos ban will bite hard because a great bulk of commercial activities is based on consumerism. Every day, the people who troop to Alaba, Oshodi, Eko, Ikeja, and many other international commercial hubs of the city get their goods wrapped and delivered with single-use plastics and Styrofoam holders. According to data cited by Business Insider Africa, Morocco is 10th in Africa when it comes to generating plastic waste. Single-use plastics have become a major global threat to public health and the natural environment.
