Philippine government split on joining coalition to cut plastic production: UN treaty participant

Kuala Selat village lies on the coast of Indragiri Hilir district on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. In the first half of the year, residents of the village arrange buckets and drums to collect rainwater to meet their daily needs. They will then stockpile water to last through the dry months from June to September, but a longer dry spell has led to an acute shortage of water.
The new research findings coincide with Malaysia’s launch of its renewable energy exchange platform and new guidelines for the export of clean energy to neighbours Singapore and Thailand.
