Quick Glance: Czech Republic: Is Nuclear Energy the Answer for a Green Environment?
- The Czech Republic plans to phase out coal energy within the next 25 years and build four new nuclear reactors to accelerate the green transition.
- The government commits six billion euros for the construction of the new nuclear reactors, marking the largest investment since the end of the socialist system.
- Petr Hladík, Czech Minister of the Environment, emphasizes the potential to increase capacity in nuclear power plants and combine them with renewable sources to ensure long-term stable and low energy costs.
- The tender for the construction of the new reactors will be conducted between the French company EDF and the South Korean company KHNP, excluding Chinese and Russian companies from participation. Czech voters, according to a survey, show low concern about climate change.

Quick Glance: Worldwide Rainforest Loss in 2023
- Every minute in 2023, the world lost the equivalent of 10 football pitches of tropical primary forest cover, totaling 3.7 million ha, comparable to Bhutan's size.
- Despite dramatic drops in forest loss in Brazil and Colombia, losses increased in countries like Indonesia, Laos, and Bolivia.
- These forests are crucial carbon sinks, climate regulators, and livelihood providers for many.
- There is a need to mobilize political will to reduce deforestation rates and increase the value of forests in the global economy for sustained progress.
