Ce que la guerre en Ukraine signifie pour les objectifs climatiques de l’Asie

Les files d’attente devant les pompes à essence au Sri Lanka ont diminué, mais pas l’anxiété. Asanka Sampath, une employée d’usine de 43 ans, est toujours vigilante. Il vérifie les messages sur son téléphone, passe devant la pompe et parcourt les réseaux sociaux pour voir si le carburant est arrivé. Les retards pourraient signifier être laissé bloqué pendant des jours. “J’en ai vraiment marre”, a-t-il déclaré. Ses frustrations font écho à celles des 22 millions d’habitants de la nation insulaire, confrontée à la pire crise économique de son histoire en raison de lourdes dettes, de la perte de revenus touristiques pendant la pandémie et de la flambée des coûts. L’agitation politique qui en a résulté a culminé avec la formation d’un nouveau gouvernement, mais la reprise a été compliquée par l’invasion de l’Ukraine par la Russie et le bouleversement des marchés mondiaux de l’énergie qui en a résulté.

What the war in Ukraine means for Asia's climate goals

The queues outside petrol pumps in Sri Lanka have lessened, but not the anxiety. Asanka Sampath, a 43-year-old factory clerk, is forever vigilant. He checks his phone for messages, walks past the pump, and browses social media to see if fuel has arrived. Delays could mean being left stranded for days. "I am really fed up with this," he said. His frustrations echo that of the 22-million inhabitants of the island nation, facing its worst ever economic crisis because of heavy debts, lost tourism revenue during the pandemic, and surging costs. The consequent political turmoil culminated with the formation of a new government, but recovery has been complicated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the consequent upending of global energy markets.

First fish certification welfare standards welcomed, but more must be done

On 1 September, the Aquaculture Stewardship Council opened the second and last open public consultation on its fish welfare project. This project aims to identify key impacts on farmed aquatic animal welfare and develop new and improved welfare standards. ASC's draft humane slaughter standards for fish include a ban on the use of ice slurry – a cruel slaughter method that leaves fish fighting for their lives as ice gets lodged in their gills. This follows Friends of the Sea's 2021 introduction species-specific welfare standards to improve fish rearing, slaughter, transport, handling, and welfare training.
