reuters.com/world/un-climate-chief-says-two-years-save-planet-2024-04-10/
Quick Glance: U.N. climate chief emphasizes urgency in global climate action
- Governments worldwide are urged to act within two years to prevent worsening climate change, with a focus on halving greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 to avoid a significant temperature increase. Despite rising emissions last year, current commitments are insufficient in reducing global emissions by 2030.
- The next two years are crucial for saving the planet, according to the Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Stronger national climate plans are deemed essential, especially from the G20 countries, responsible for 80% of global emissions. A key goal of this year's UN climate negotiations is to establish a new climate finance target to aid developing nations in transitioning away from fossil fuels.
- Efforts are being made to provide more climate finance through debt relief, affordable financing for poorer countries, new international funding sources like a shipping emissions tax, and reforms at institutions such as the World Bank and IMF. Additionally, calls are made for a revamp of capital requirements and increased use of Climate Resilient Debt Clauses at the World Bank. Politicians worldwide are urged to prioritize climate action as it often takes a backseat on government agendas.

Quick Glance: UPS replaces FedEx as U.S. Postal Service's primary air cargo provider
- United Parcel Service (UPS) will become the United States Postal Service's (USPS) primary air cargo provider after rival FedEx walked away pressing for a better contract.
- UPS shares rose 1.4% while FedEx's stock fell 1.6% as financial terms of the contract were not disclosed.

washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/03/29/us-weapons-israel-gaza-war/
Quick Glance: U.S. Approves Weapon Transfers to Israel Amid Concerns
- The Biden administration recently quietly authorized the transfer of billions of dollars in bombs and fighter jets to Israel despite Washington's concerns about an anticipated military operation in southern Gaza that could threaten the lives of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians.
- The new weapons packages consist of a significant number of MK84 2,000-pound bombs and MK82 500-pound bombs. This highlights that the Biden administration considers weapons transfers off-limits when influencing the actions of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
- Some Democrats, including allies of President Biden, argue that the U.S. government should withhold weapons if Israel does not commit to limiting civilian casualties during a planned operation in Rafah and easing restrictions on humanitarian aid in the famine-threatened Gaza Strip.
- Biden's recurring approvals of weapons transfers are strongly supported by powerful pro-Israel interest groups in Washington, including the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
