Les bébés et les jeunes enfants peuvent respirer et absorber des produits chimiques potentiellement nocifs provenant de leur matelas pendant qu'ils dorment, préviennent des chercheurs de l'Université de Toronto qui publient deux études sur la question.

Ces substances sont liées à des problèmes neurologiques et reproductifs, à l'asthme, à des perturbations hormonales et au cancer

Yet the European Commission is planning to raise the threshold that would require reporting, excluding 80% of companies that sit under the current corporate sustainability reporting directive (CSRD). So the EU is actually preventing a competitive market by removing these requirements for the majority of businesses to show their climate data, Pietikäine sai

Media Matters for AmericaBroadcast TV news mentioned solutions in 23% of its climate coverage in 2024In 2024, corporate broadcast TV news mentioned climate solutions in 23% of climate segments, or 75 out of 324 — slightly more than in 2023 but well below the peak of 35% in 2022. The best coverage of climate change centers on solutions at scale with what is needed to reduce carbon emissions, and it carefully vets potential solutions pushed by corporations and fossil fuel interests which often do little to tackle the root cause of global warming. These discussions of climate solutions are frequently presented alongside discussions of current climate impacts, including extreme weather events, that make up the bulk of climate reporting on broadcast news. Ahead of this year’s annual Earth Day celebration on April 22, this study looks at how broadcast news covered climate solutions in 2024, which corporate TV networks led the way in their coverage, and what those networks can do to spotlight the Trump administration’s current torrent of rollbacks and attacks on climate action and clean energy solutions in 2025 and beyond.
