Among the expected pledges at COP28 are a goal to triple renewable energy capacity and initiatives on methane and coal power.

By Kate AbnettDUBAI (Reuters) - While the world's climate diplomats huddle over draft decisions to be made at the end of this year's U.N. climate summit, governments at COP28 are firing off a flurry of new promises for action. Among the expected pledges at COP28 are a goal to triple renewable energy capacity and initiatives on methane and coal power. These voluntary side deals have proliferated in recent years, even as global temperatures and greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise. Unlike official summit decisions, which must be passed by consensus among the nearly 200 countries, voluntary pledges can be made quickly, and boldly, without the worry of one party objecting. "They go much further than what you can do multilaterally," said Marc Vanheukelen, a former EU official who led the bloc's work on an international methane emissions pledge launched at the COP26 climate summit in 2021.

REUTERS/Andrew KellyBRUSSELS, March 17 (Reuters) - Tech giants will likely challenge a new European Union law aimed at reining in their power with the first cases in a potential wave of litigation expected by year-end, one of the EU's top judges said on Friday. Those disagreeing with the label and requirements are likely to take their complaint to the Luxembourg-based General Court within months, its president Marc van der Woude said. But van der Woude said the DMA was still evolving. He said areas of dispute will likely focus on the gatekeeper designation, specifications of their obligations and during enforcement of the DMA. A contentious area is likely to be the requirement on gatekeepers to notify their acquisitions to the Commission and whether such deals meet the threshold for regulatory scrutiny, van der Woude said.
Este o presiune pe care o poartă cel care l-a impersionat pe Moș Crăciun, dar și cei care au organizat vizita”, a spus presei locale primarul din Mol. „Chiar și pentru o răspândire rapidă, sunt prea multe infecții deodată”, a declarat Ranst. Luni, OMS l-a declarat pe Moș Crăciun imun la Covid-19 și poate aduce cadouri liniștit. ”Înțeleg grijile față de Moș Crăciun, mai ales fiind așa de bătrân…dar vă pot spune că Moș Crăciun e imun la virus. Și doamna Crăciun e foarte bine, însă amândoi sunt cam ocupați, însă el e imun.
