2022 UN Ocean Conference

As the world suffers the impacts of global warming and climate change emerges as the biggest concern, leaders from across the world are arriving in Portugal’s capital, Lisbon, to find an international agreement on protecting the world’s oceans. The United Nations-led Ocean Conference will begin from Monday until July 1.
The UN has in harsh terms said that oceans on the planet are facing unprecedented threats as a result of human activities and that its health and ability to sustain life will only get worse as the world population grows and human activities increase.
“The Ocean Conference, co-hosted by the Governments of Kenya and Portugal, comes at a critical time as the world is seeking to address the many of the deep-rooted problems of our societies laid bare by the COVID-19 pandemic and which will require major structural transformations and common shared solutions that are anchored in the SDGs,” UN has said.
The five-day UN Ocean Conference in Lisbon, Portugal has drawn senior officials and scientists from more than 120 countries to the Atlantic port city in Southwest Europe, as well as activists dismayed by the failure to come up with international rules that might ensure ocean sustainability.
The oceans face a severe threat from global warming, pollution, acidification and other problems, the U.N. says. Potentially harmful deep-sea mining also lacks rules. The Governments of Kenya and Portugal will co-host the Ocean Conference.
Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh today left for Portugal to take part in the “2022 UN Ocean Conference” at Lisbon starting from Monday. He will deliver the Keynote address at the Conference on the theme ‘Scaling up Ocean Action based on Science and Innovation for the implementation of Goal 14: Stock taking, Partnerships and Solutions’. More than one hundred 30 countries will participate in the Conference.

G7 Leaders Pledge 600 Billion For Developing Countries

Leaders of the Group of Seven (G7) began three days of talks yesterday in Germany’s Bavarian Alps.
One of the first announcements was a 600 billion dollar infrastructure initiative to help developing countries tackle climate change.
The initiative is seen as the West’s response to China’s massive Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
US President Joe Biden said, this is not aid or charity but an investment that will deliver returns for everyone, including the American people and the people of all our nations.
It will boost all of our economies, he said. China has been accused of trapping low-income countries into unaffordable debts to be part of its trillion-dollar BRI push.
EU Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said G7 is offering sustainable, quality infrastructure and will be listening closely to the recipient countries.
Shortly before the G& summit began, London announced that UK, along with US, Japan and Canada, will ban new imports of Russian gold to tighten the economic effect of sanctions on Russia.
The joint action will directly hit Russian oligarchs and strike at the heart of Putin’s war machine, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in the statement. Washington said the decision will be formally announced as a G7 move on Tuesday.

Joe Biden Signs Gun Safety Legislation

President Joe Biden today signed into law the first major federal gun safety legislation passed in decades, marking a significant bipartisan breakthrough on one of the most contentious policy issues in Washington. After signing the bill at the White House, Biden said that God willing, it’s going to save a lot of lives.
The legislation came together in the aftermath of recent mass shootings at a Uvalde, Texas, elementary school and a Buffalo, New York, supermarket that was in a predominantly Black neighborhood.
The Senate passed the bill in a late-night vote on Thursday. The new law enhances background checks on young gun buyers between 18 and 21 years of age.
It encourages states to develop more and better red flag laws that would deny guns to people who are deemed to be dangerous. Gun rights groups still protested the final product. The National Rifle Association said these measures were hastily jammed through with ambiguous language and overbroad definitions to appease gun control supporters in Congress.

Beijing Declaration Adopted At BRICS 2022 Summit

Prime Minister Narendra Modi led India’s participation at the 14th BRICS Summit, which was convened under the Chairship of Chinese President Xi Jinping in a virtual format. The two-day summit concluded yesterday with the Beijing Declaration.
The declaration says that the BRICS countries support talks between Russia and Ukraine. They discussed concerns over the humanitarian situation in and around Ukraine and expressed support for United Nations, UN agencies, and Red Cross to provide humanitarian assistance.
The BRICS declaration also stated that terrorism should not be associated with any religion, nationality, civilization, or ethnic group. The summit called for the finalization and adoption of the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism within the UN framework.
The member nations called for policy coordination for economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. The BRICS countries agreed to promote consumer protection in e-commerce. They agreed to strengthen exchanges and cooperation in trade in services.
The Beijing declaration says that the BRICS High-level Dialogue is an opportunity to deepen the cooperation in the fight against COVID-19, digital transformation, resilience and stability of industrial and supply chains, and low-carbon development.
