The Low-Emission Electricity System
On October 2, 2025, a diverse array of electric vehicles, alongside various other types of vehicles, traverse the roadway adjacent to a Public Electric Vehicle Charging Station (SPKLU) in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. This event underscores Indonesia's dedication to promoting green energy initiatives, a strategy spearheaded by the State Electricity Company (PLN) through comprehensive electrification efforts across multiple sectors. The accelerated development of SPKLU infrastructure represents a pivotal advancement in decreasing the nation's reliance on fossil fuels. Such progress facilitates a seamless transition towards a sustainable and low-emission electricity system, ultimately contributing to a cleaner energy future for all citizens.

The landmark prohibition on mining in 2017, a world first, has been reversed by authoritarian leader Nayib Bukele but the move has met fierce resistance from environmentalists.
On 23 December, its congress voted to overturn the ban on metals mining, a move championed by the hardline president, Nayib Bukele, who is prioritising economic growth over environmental concerns.

'We empower ourselves': the women cleaning up Bolivia’s Lake Uru Uru
Once clean enough to drink, the Andean lake was poisoned by mining pollution and urban waste. But now Indigenous women are using giant reeds to revive the vital ecosystem.
Fed up with the ever-increasing pollution, the sisters Tatiana and Dayana Blanco and other young women formed the Uru Uru Team in 2019.
The first step was to clean the water. Their forebears used totora and so they decided to do the same. As well as being used to build floating platforms and houses, totora is important for treating sewage and mining wastewater as it traps minerals in its roots, leaves and stems.
Dayana and Tatiana Blanco members of the Team Uru Uru - a group of young indigenous women who came together to clean up Lago Uru Uru [Lake Uru Uru], Bolivia. Mining and plastic waste is dumped there. The waters are contaminated but the women create rafts out of plastic waste and plant totoro on them to clean the water.

How a monk and a Hippo joined forces to tackle Bangkok’s plastic pollution
Desperate to restore the Chao Praya River to a pristine state, an abbot in the Thai capital began recycling in his temple. Now he has a floating ally in his efforts to clean up the river.
The Chao Phraya River is the largest waterway flowing through central Thailand.
In Bangkok, it is an artery for a network of water buses, ferries and wooden long-tail boats. But it's not just carrying people. According to research by the Rotterdam-based non-profit organisation Ocean Cleanup, the Chao Praya River carries 4,000 tonnes of plastic waste to the sea every year.
Phra Mahapranom Dhammalangkaro, the abbot, walks through Wat Chak Daeng on July 30, 2024 in Bangkok. The HIPPO project by Seven Clean Seas, in collaboration with Wat Chak Daeng temple, uses a solar-powered vessel to collect plastic waste from Bangkok's Chao Phraya River and recycles it to reduce environmental pollution. Phra Mahapranom Dhammalangkaro, the abbot, leads a project at Wat Chak Daeng that turns plastic waste into monk robes, upcycling around 40 tons of plastic since 2015 and serving as a model for environmental conservation.

Kibbutzim massacres, three weeks after
EXCLUSIVE:
October 28, 2023 - Be'eri, Israel: 21 days after the fatal attack on Be'eri Kibbutz, where more than 100 Hamas terrorists entered the Kibbutz and brutally murdered at least 130 members of the Kibbutz. Several members of the Kibbutz were abducted by Hamas to Gaza. To this dentist's clinic in the Kibbutz injured members of the Kibbutz were evacuated. In the clinic were a young paramedic woman Amit Mann (22), a nurse and a doctor, who tried to treat the injured and save lives. The young paramdic texted her family and sent voice messages that were published, in which she describes to her family what's going on, with the injured and with the terrorists in the area. Amit was under siege for 6 hours, hoping to be rescued but was finally murdered. Starting early in the morning of October 7th, missiles were shot to Israel from Gaza while Hamas terrorists invaded Israeli settlements around Gaza, murdering and kidnapping hundreds, including hundreds of young participants at the outdoor party Nova. Casualties count thus far is more than 1,400, injured - more than 3,800, abducted - 229 soldiers and civilians, missing more than 100 people. (Ziv Koren/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)

Farmers on frontline as Dutch divided by war on nitrogen pollution
Government's buyout scheme is meeting fierce resistance from farmers in Netherlands.
Veal farmer Wim Brouwer is one of the Netherlands' peak polluters, due to the nitrogen excreted each year by his 1,360 calves.
His business sits in one of the most intensively farmed parts of Europe's most intensively farmed country, a huge exporter with more than 110 million livestock, including cattle, chickens and pigs.
Nitrogen compound emissions are a big matter in this small, packed country, becoming the dominant political issue over the course of a four-year crisis. Among other impacts, the crisis has hampered crucial housebuilding, because builders need nitrogen permits from a limited supply to cover construction emissions. The crisis has polarised social opinion, spurring the rise of a new rural populist movement and mobilising environmentalists who are desperately concerned about the state of wild habitats.
Brouwer says his farm is carbon neutral, but he fears being a peak polluter means credit lines drying up. As chairman of the local LTO farmers' union branch, he feels strongly for others. "Every 14 days, a farmer in the Netherlands brings an end to their life. If a healthy career lasts for 40 years, we’ve spent 10% of ours living in uncertainty."
A series of supreme court rulings in cases brought by environmentalists have brought the Netherlands to a standstill over pollution. Nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) from transport, and ammonia from farming, are negatively affecting EU-protected nature reserves, in breach of EU law.
