Not only will this finally bring into force an internationally binding safety regime for fishing vessels, it will also contribute to a significant reduction of the exploitation of both the oceans and the people who depend on them,” Mr. Lim said. Take EPA. The agency tasked with regulating everything from power plants to oil wells for their effects on global warming saw its purchase of renewable energy dwindle last year to its second-lowest level since 2010. EPA used 11,000 megawatt-hours of renewable electricity last year, or 11.9 percent of its overall power consumption. By contrast, between 2010 and 2016, the agency consumed an average of 138,000 MWh of renewable power annually. Norway will restrict access to its ports for Russian fishing vessels to Moscow Russia from using them to circumvent sanctions, the government announced Thursday.
The progress reports for each agency tell slightly different stories about the purchase of wind and solar power within the federal government. But the trend across several agencies shows that renewable energy use peaked in the Obama or early Trump years, then cratered before the Covid-19 pandemic. It has not rebounded under Biden — in contrast to his administration’s promises that federal procurement would be part of the “whole of government approach” to curbing climate change. Despite extensive efforts by IMO Member States, other UN agencies, observers and the IMO Secretariat, the Agreement is not yet in force.
Modern submarine cables use fibre optic technology and are typically as wide as a garden hose, according to telecoms market research firm TeleGeography. “There was also an incident last week, and we also believe that this was caused by a fishing vessel.” In late April, it also closed its ports to Russian ships, but made an exception for fishing boats. Norway, Europe’s number one gas supplier and a major global oil producer, has deployed its navy, air force and soldiers to protect its energy industry in response to the Nord Stream leaks, which some countries have blamed on sabotage. Some access was needed as the joint management of fish stocks remains important, Huitfeldt said.
The DanzINC Contemporary Dance Festival 2022, one of the biggest dance festivals in Asia, will be held in Vietnam for the first time on November 3 and 4.

Entries must be sent in a PDF format, including a Vietnamese journal with 500 to 1000 words each, as well as an English summary with a maximum of 100 words each. The Goethe-Institute, in collaboration with the 2030 Youth Force Vietnam , have launched the Science Journal Writing Ambassador Contest for the first time as part of the ongoing Science Film Festival 2022. As of October 23, Vietnam had recorded a total of 51 rabies cases, 42 cases higher compared to the same period from last year.
For entry into force, the Agreement needs to be ratified by 22 States with an aggregate number of 3,600 fishing vessels operating on the high seas. The current number of ratifications stands at 17 States with a total of around 1,925 eligible fishing vessels. There has been an accelerated trend towards ratification in the past few years, escalating hopes for its entry into force in the not-too-distant future. October 11, 2022, marked the 10th anniversary of the adoption of the 2012 Cape Town Agreement, the key international treaty applicable to large industrial fishing vessels aiming at providing safety standards, just as the SOLAS Convention does for commercial ships. “We expect it will be fishing vessels that damaged the cable but it’s very rare that we have two problems at the same time”, Faroese Telecom’s head of infrastructure, Páll Vesturbú, told the BBC. Two weeks later, Norway closed access for Russian fishing vessels to almost all Norwegian ports.
He also reaffirmed the strong commitment and joint efforts by authorities, fishermen, and businesses to prevent, end, and eradicate IUU fishing. Ambassador Dang Hoang Giang, permanent representative of Vietnam to the UN, stressed that climate change poses a serious challenge to the international community and threatens the lives of people in coastal countries and small island nations. There were five categories that scorecard crafters used to determine agency grades, including whether there is an environmental justice office, commitment to protect the environment in the future and from past policies along with proactive environmental justice work. Among its hurdles is an inability to hire new employees quickly; not having the authority to implement national strategies; and not being able to fund counterintelligence programs outside of the spy agencies, either elsewhere in the U.S. government or in the private sector. Dan Esposito, a senior policy analyst at Energy Innovation, said the Biden administration is trying to use the federal government’s purchasing power to ensure that renewable electricity reaches the grid at all hours of the day, and not only when the sun is shining or the wind blowing. For two years before then, renewable energy use at the agency skyrocketed under Trump to 1.604 million MWh of green power, equaling 30.4 percent of DOE’s overall power consumption.
