According to Global Forest Watch Virunga National Park, the oldest protected area in the DRC, has lost 964 hectares (2,382 acres) of forest since June. “The Nyiragongo volcanic eruption in May and the recent war that has broken out between M23 and the Congolese government have forced many people to flee into the park,” Depaul […]

„So gesehen ist die Verkehrspolitik, die Berlin seit 2023 unter der CDU/SPD-Koalition erlebt hat, wie ein Perfect Match bei Tinder. Zwar fühlt sich kein Autofahrer glücklicher, seitdem die CDU die Verkehrssenatorin stellt. [..] Aber zumindest hat sich auch für die anderen Verkehrsteilnehmer wenig bis gar nichts verbessert.“

Fohlenticker zur Hinrunde 2023/24: Mittelmaß mit 20 Punkten
Ticker vom 17.1: Nach 3 Punkten gegen Stuttgart - ein Sieg gegen Augsburg muss her 3 Punkte daheim gegen Stuttgart. Glücklich. Na und. Diesmal habe die "Punkteverspieler" die Punkte eben nicht verspielt, auch wenn auch ich vom Spielverlauf damit gerechnet hatte. Gut so. Und es sind 3 sehr wichtige Punkte, wenn man sich den Spielplan inklusive der Auswärtsspiele gegen die Bayern, Leverkusen und Leipzig anschaut.

Call Out the Broken Rogers-Shaw Deal
Back in 2023, Canadians were told our government was putting conditions on the $26B Rogers-Shaw deal that would make it a win for all of us. The deal would be closely monitored and came with teeth: binding commitments with up to $1 billion in penalties for non-compliance.1
Three years later, the spirit of that promise is being broken in plain sight. Rogers' own public disclosures reveal that commitments on job creation, 5G expansion, fair …

Price Responses of Rwandan Tungsten Exports under Conflict Minerals Regulation
Haruka Nagamori, Kazuhiko Nishimura
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.08690 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.08690 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.08690
arXiv:2608.08690v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Section 1502 of the Dodd--Frank Act, enacted in 2010, requires U.S.-listed companies using tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (3TG) from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries to disclose information on the minerals' origins. Concerns have been raised that the regulation may have induced a de facto embargo through avoidance of sourcing from the covered region. However, how the price responsiveness of mineral exports evolved under changing institutional and market conditions remains insufficiently understood. Since tungsten production in the covered region is concentrated almost entirely in Rwanda, this study examines the price responsiveness of Rwandan tungsten exports from January 2009 to December 2023.
Because missing export quantity data prevent continuous observation of export unit values, we apply the identification approach of Nakano and Nishimura (2025), combining monthly mirror trade data from UN Comtrade with exchange rates and a world average price. An importer fixed-effects model is estimated using export value as the dependent variable, with the sample divided into four periods according to changes in the institutional and market environment.
The results reveal substantial temporal variation in price responsiveness. A statistically significant negative price response is observed in Period 1 ($\eta=-20.814$, $p<0.01$), disappears in Period 2 ($\eta=1.814$, $p>0.10$), reappears in Period 3 ($\eta=-5.277$, $p<0.01$), and disappears again in Period 4 ($\eta=0.440$, $p>0.10$). Coefficient-difference tests confirm significant changes between Periods 1 and 2 ($p=0.0021$) and between Periods 3 and 4 ($p=0.0006$). These findings suggest that the price responsiveness of Rwandan tungsten exports varied substantially over time rather than following a uniform trajectory after the regulation.

AI & water,
"Experts stress that, overall, data center water consumption pales in comparison to the usage by industries like agriculture and some kinds of manufacturing. Researchers have estimated that data center cooling systems consumed 66 billion liters of water in 2023, less than 1 percent of the nation’s total consumption."
