El café está en peligro. Starbucks está trabajando en soluciones

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:12:59 GMT

(CNN) — El café es un cultivo delicado, en particular el café arábica, la variedad más popular. Y el cambio climático plantea una enorme amenaza para el negocio del café y para los agricultores.“Para crecer adecuadamente, los cultivos de café requieren niveles específicos de temperatura, luz y humedad”, según el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo, una institución financiera al servicio de América Latina y el Caribe. Actualmente, esas condiciones se cumplen en gran medida en ciertas partes de América Latina, dentro de una región llamada cinturón cafetero, señaló un informe reciente del BID.Pero para 2050, advirtió el banco, “el aumento de las temperaturas reducirá el área apta para el cultivo de café hasta en un 50%”. El clima cambiante podría significar que algunos países podrían incorporar nuevamente el café, señaló el BID.Pero para que el café siga prosperando donde está ahora, las cosas tienen que cambiar.Un cafeto en Hacienda Alsacia.

Brussels officially starts probe into Chinese electric vehicles

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:12:59 GMT

The European Commission today officially started an anti-subsidy investigation into Chinese electric vehicles, according to a notice of initiation published in the EU Official Journal.The probe is on the Commission’s own initiative, a so-called ex-officio investigation, instead of being triggered following a formal complaint from the EU industry, as is usually the case. It was announced by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in her State of the European Union address last month, when she warned that global markets were being “flooded” with cheaper Chinese electric cars.The investigation followed pressure from the French government, which is pushing to strengthen Europe’s industrial defenses against China’s fast-growing electric vehicle industry. But it has sparked concern in Germany, whose auto industry is heavily exposed to the Chinese market, that Beijing could retaliate — sparking a tit-for-tat cycle that could escalate into a full-scale t...

EU’s new climate leadership duo gets nod from MEPs

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:12:59 GMT

New European Green Deal chief Maroš Šefčovič and climate commissioner-designate Wopke Hoekstra have won lawmakers’ approval to take up their posts, pending a plenary vote on Thursday. Both politicians were asked to answer additional written questions on Tuesday after failing to impress MEPs in their hours-long hearings. On Wednesday morning, after filing their responses, Šefčovič and Hoekstra finally received the backing of two-thirds of the European Parliament’s environment committee, as required.Committee chair Pascal Canfin said in a press conference that the candidates’ written answers had provided the necessary “clarity” on key issues. “That’s why, this morning, we had this two-thirds majority,” he said. The center-right European People’s Party — Hoekstra’s political family — and the center-left Socialists, Šefčovič’s group, backed both commissioners after initially threatening to vote down each other&#...

Woburn team rallies behind Stocker

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:12:59 GMT

Running has always been important to Woburn senior Renee Stocker and one of the activities in her life that help define her. She’s put in many miles during the summer months to prepare for the rigors that cross country brings with it. And this past summer wasn’t going to be an exception.But running just didn’t seem that important to Stocker anymore after one terrible day while vacationing with her family in Wareham in July. Just two days after their 17th birthday, Stocker’s twin brother and best friend Bobby died from injuries he sustained in a dirt bike accident.Overcome by sadness and grief, Stocker simply didn’t have the desire or motivation to run another step during the summer, choosing instead to spend more time with her parents. Running would just have to wait.“I’ve always liked to run, but during the summer I didn’t run at all after that day,” said Stocker. “There was just such a lot going on. It messed me up. The r...

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan’s government announced a major crackdown Tuesday on migrants in the country illegally, saying it would expel them starting next month and raising alarm among foreigners without documentation who include an estimated 1.7 million Afghans.The country’s caretaker Interior Minister Sarfraz Bugti said the crackdown was not aimed at Afghans and would apply to all nationalities, though the vast majority of migrants in the country are Afghans.The campaign comes amid strained relations between Pakistan and neighboring, Taliban-led Afghanistan over what the Pakistani government says are attacks in Pakistan by Taliban-allied militants who go back and forth across the countries’ shared 2,611-kilometer (1,622-mile) border and who find shelter in Afghanistan.Bugti said that any migrants in Pakistan illegally should go back to their countries voluntarily before the end of October to avoid mass arrest and forced deportation.

Global Red Cross urges ouster of Belarus chapter chief over the deportation of Ukrainian children

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:12:59 GMT

GENEVA (AP) — The international Red Cross is calling for the ouster of the head of the Belarus Red Cross, who stirred international outrage for boasting that it was actively ferrying Ukrainian children from Russian-controlled areas to Belarus.The board of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said Wednesday it has given the Belarus chapter until Nov. 30 to dismiss Dzmitry Shautsou, and if not, will recommend all affiliates to halt new partnerships and funding for the Belarus branch — which would be suspended from the global organization.An internal IFRC probe found that the Belarus Red Cross said Shautsou was “found to be solely responsible for the allegations.” It also determined that another organization was responsible for moving children from Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine, and the Belarus Red Cross’ involvement was only within Belarus. It did not specify the other organization.Belarus has been Moscow’s closest ally since Russia’s invasion...
