Immediate Action On Highway Speed Limits Essential To Protect New Zealand's Fuel Security, Environment, And Road Safety Reducing rural highway speed limits to 80 km/h would immediately cut fuel consumption, lower emissions, and save lives. New Zealand faces growing pressure on national fuel security as global conflict and supply chain instability threaten fuel availability. Experts warn that practical and immediate measures are needed to reduce fuel consumption before shortages intensify. One of the fastest and most effective steps available to the Government is reducing rural highway speed limits from 100 km/h to 80 km/h. Fuel Security: A Growing National Risk Transport energy research consistently shows that most passenger cars, vans, and light commercial vehicles achieve their best fuel efficiency between 50–80 km/h. Above 80 km/h, aerodynamic drag and engine load increase rapidly, causing fuel consumption to rise sharply. Because of this fundamental physics, reducing cruising speeds produces significant fuel savings across an entire vehicle fleet. Fuel consumption rises non-linearly beyond 80 km/h, meaning that even modest speed reductions can deliver meaningful national reductions in fuel use. Historical Evidence from New Zealand New Zealand has successfully used this approach before. During the 1973 global oil crisis, the Government reduced the open road speed limit to 80 km/h as part of a national effort to cut petrol consumption. Although...

A New Mexico Religious Pilgrimage Rode a Global Wave Hoping for Ripple Effects for the Environment Oil and gas wells might seem unusual sites for religious pilgrims, but on January 12, three faith-motivated environmentalists set out on a 328-mile trek from Carlsbad, New Mexico, that would see them slogging on foot past fossil-fuel developments, through remote ranch lands and deep into the desert on their way to the state capitol in Santa Fe. The trio, representing New Mexico Interfaith Power & Light (NM-IPL) sought to use their 25-day journey to connect with communities and advocate for the passage of the Clear Horizons Act (SB18), a bill that would have required a 45 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions below 2005 levels by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050. The group is one of three dozen organizations that are part of the Clear Horizons New Mexico coalition. Though they were unsuccessful in helping to bring SB18 over the finish line—it was ultimately defeated in the Senate on February 11, with several Democrats joining Republicans to kill it—the Rev. Clara Sims, NM-IPL’s assistant executive director, said the pilgrimage was about more than a single outcome. “Taking an act of faith like this and even just being people of faith in general means that we believe in the power...

The Supreme Court allows the Santa Cruz River hydroelectric projects to proceed while the environmental debate continues The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation of Argentina declared inadmissible a request to once again suspend the construction of two hydroelectric dams on the Santa Cruz River. The decision keeps the construction works enabled for the President Néstor Kirchner Dam and Governor Jorge Cepernic Dam while the main lawsuit continues in lower courts. The claim had been filed by the Banco de Bosques Foundation along with environmental organizations that question the ecological impacts of the project. However, the court considered that the appeal was not directed against a final judgment, a necessary condition to enable an extraordinary review. Therefore, the case returns to the federal courts, which must analyze the core of the environmental conflict. An environmental conflict dragging on since 2016 The judicial controversy began in 2016, when environmental organizations managed to suspend the construction of the dams. The measure sought to ensure that the State complied with environmental impact studies and held mandatory public hearings. These requirements are established in Argentine legislation for large-scale hydroelectric projects. Over the years, the Government presented technical reports and carried out the required procedures. Based on this documentation, the courts considered that the condition to lift the suspension had been...

Urban sustainability - European Environment Agency (EEA) About three-quarters of Europeans live in cities, according to UN-Habitat. Cities, with their concentrated population and infrastructure, are especially vulnerable to certain effects of climate change and other environmental stresses like heatwaves, flash floods, pollution, noise, and soil contamination. Their aggregated consumption patterns can also lead to biodiversity loss. According to our estimates, in 2022, 96% of people living in EU cities were exposed to levels of air pollution by fine particulate matter (PM2.5) above the WHO guideline. Also, building stock accounts for 40% of energy consumption and 36% of GHG emissions. At present, 75% of the European building stock is energy inefficient. All these aspects have a disproportionate impact on vulnerable segments of the population and can exacerbate social challenges like segregation, poverty and inequality. At the same time, however, cities are hubs of creativity, innovation and education, and have the capacity to affect significant systemic changes across a range of critical environmental issues. Cities have their own governments and are often best placed for local action to tackle and resolve environmental challenges. Historically, municipalities have played a crucial role in improving waste, wastewater and water management, public transport and land use via integrated urban planning approaches. Today, they...

How the Information Environment Changed - And How TFF And Peace Were Pushed Aside - Pressenza - International Press Agency “We witness the attempted abolition of the West’s relatively free media and open democratic debate about international affairs. War is peace, aggression is defence. The Internet and social media are no longer the open, decentralised public sphere they were twenty years ago. They have become curated, filtered, and politically manipulated information systems that deserve to be ignored. TFF now navigates around that.” Jan Oberg, TFF director and co-founder Over the last decade, we at The Transnational Foundation have witnessed a profound transformation in the global information environment. What once felt like an open, pluralistic digital space has gradually become a tightly managed, politicised system in which certain narratives are amplified while others are quietly pushed aside. This shift did not happen overnight. It unfolded in waves, beginning around 2016 and accelerating dramatically in 2022. And because TFF works precisely in the fields where narrative control has tightened the most — peace, conflict analysis, neutrality, and critical geopolitics — we have felt these changes directly. As we have maintained for long, peace has been disappeared in media, research and politics. It’s fading… Furthermore, to deliberately deprive citizens of their right to choose the information they need to shape their opinions and...
