With the aim of cutting emissions even further, a unique carbon capture system called CarbFix is being pioneered at the Hellsheidi geothermal power plant in western Iceland.
Carbon dioxide emissions are captured, mixed with water and injected into the ground. Through this process, the CO2 is transformed into a mineral called calcite within just six months. This solid form of CO2 storage is seen as one of the most effective ways of preventing the gas from entering the atmosphere

turning some of the continent green.

Rising temperatures in the Antarctic region are turning parts of the frozen
continent green. Since 1950, temperatures in the Antarctic Peninsula, the
northernmost part of the continent's mainland, have gone up by about one
degree Fahrenheit (half a degree Celsius) each decade, much faster than the
global average. Consequently, the growth rate of moss on the peninsula has
risen dramatically, increasing four to five times since the 1950s.
Researchers have studied three sites along a 621-mile (1,000-km) stretch of
the peninsula, comparing samples collected over a 150-year period.

While Japan maintains its long tradition of fishing, its fleets no longer catch enough to meet domestic demand. As a result, Japan has become the third-largest market for fish imports, after the European Union and the U.S.

Japan, one of the world's largest fish importers, has joined 47 other governments in ratifying the Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA)—an international treaty designed to stop illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.

Adopted by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization in 2009, the PSMA helps governments strengthen their port controls to better recognize suspicious catch and, when appropriate, reject or seize it. The pact also facilitates regional cooperation among parties to the treaty to help reduce the once-common practice of "port shopping" by illegal fishing operators.

Syrian hospital gets stability with the help of solar power

A hospital in Syria has a new way to provide more reliable care to patients, thanks to a pilot project that put solar panels on its roof. Six years of conflict have devastated not only hospital buildings, but also much of the electrical grid in Syria. That has left hospitals reliant on diesel generators, but frequent diesel shortages and high prices make it difficult to keep a hospital’s power source stable. A health aid organization drummed up a plan to take advantage of the sun in Syria and installed solar panels that can fully power the ICU, operating rooms, and emergency ward when the diesel supply is low. They're now working on plans to put a solar energy system in five other vulnerable hospitals in the country.
