Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO):
It is a Eurasian political, economic and military organisation which was founded in 2001 in Shanghai by the leaders of China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. These countries, except for Uzbekistan, had been members of the Shanghai Five, founded in 1996; after the inclusion of Uzbekistan in 2001, the members renamed the organisation.
The SCO is seen as a counter to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO).
With observer states included, its affiliates account for about half of the world’s population.
The SCO has established relations with the United Nations, where it is an observer in the General Assembly, the European Union, Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Commonwealth of Independent States and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.
India and Pakistan were accepted as full members of the organization in July 2015.
Afghanistan, Belarus, Iran and Mongolia enjoy observer status.

Space technology to safeguard thatched roofs
The scientists of the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) are planning to use the technology that protects rocket launch vehicles from high-temperature fire to protect the thatched roofs and even prevent water seepage in concrete buildings.
Details:
The technology uses the ceramic-polymer hybrid (CASPOL). CASPOL is water-based ready-to-coat product. It was originally developed to protect the rockets from high temperature and fire to which they are exposed during the initial moments of launch. Caspol can withstand up to 800 degree Celsius. The centre has described the product as one which is eco-friendly as it is free of toxic materials.
Benefits:
This could protect public transport systems and poor men residing in thatched homes from fire accidents. Seats in automobiles, public transport system and seat cushions of railway coaches can be made fireproof when Caspol is applied.
Besides its ability to protect against fire and high temperature, Caspol can also make surfaces waterproof. When applied over the concrete surface of buildings, fill up the micro cracks and holes on concrete to prevent water from seeping in.
Also, when applied over concrete surface of buildings, the high emissivity of the product reduces the temperature inside the building by at least 5 to 6 degree Celsius.

Renewable energy pip Hydro
The renewable energy sector in the country has for the first time surpassed hydro power generation.
Key facts:
According to the Central Electricity Authority data, the total capacity of renewable energy sector increased to 42,849.38 MW, surpassing the total capacity of hydro power sector at 42,783.42 MW, out of the nation’s total installed capacity of a little over 3 lakh MW on April 30, 2016.
The renewable energy investments in solar and wind have benefited from a strong central policy and several years of early-stage private sector investment, respectively.
In contrast, hydro power suffered from multiple challenges, including non-availability of long-term financing; the cost imposed by royalty power to be offered free to the state government; and limited opportunities for the private sector.
The government has ambitious plans for deployment of 175 GW renewable power capacities by 2022, including 100 GW of solar and 60 GW of wind, which may require investment of around $150 billion in the next seven years.
The total capacity of the thermal sector stood at 2,11,420.40 MW.

Axis Bank launches India’s first certified green bond at London Stock Exchange
Axis Bank has raised $500 million at the London Stock Exchange after it launched India’s first internationally-listed certified green bond to finance climate change solutions around the world.
The proceeds of the bond will be invested in green energy, transportation and infrastructure projects, reinforcing India’s commitment to produce 175,000 MW of renewable power by 2022.
What are Green bonds?
Green bonds are like any other debt instrument but the funds raised from such a bond sale are used exclusively for renewable energy projects.
With the Indian government and private sector increasingly focusing on renewable energy projects, the demand for such funds is expected to rise over time.

A two-day meeting in Vienna of the Nuclear Suppliers Group to decide on India’s application for membership to the 48-nation club has ended without a breakthrough. India’s application is now expected to be taken up in a meeting in Seoul on June 20. Most countries support India, but some want a well-defined process rather than an exception made for India. NSG decision needs full consensus, not simple majority.

The navies of India, Japan and the U.S. have started the annual Malabar naval exercises in Japan, close to islands contested by China. The location of the exercise, which will be conducted over hundreds of miles, is of particular interest as they are not very far from the Air Defence Identification Zone imposed by China over the East China Sea in November 2013, including the Senkaku Islands, controlled by Japan but claimed by Beijing, and the nine dash line. This is the 20th edition of the exercise, and the first after the formal expansion of the bilateral exercise to a trilateral format last year. The primary aim of this exercise is to increase interoperability among the three navies and develop common understanding of procedures for maritime security operations. The major emphasis will be on anti-submarine drills and protecting aircraft carriers from hostile assets lurking under water. Additionally, the special forces of the three navies will interact during the exercise.

PM Modi releases country’s first National Disaster Management Plan
Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently released the National Disaster Management Plan (NDMP). This is the first ever national plan prepared in the country.
Key facts:
The plan aims to make India disaster resilient and reduces loss of lives.
The plan is based on the four priority themes of the “Sendai Framework,” namely: understanding disaster risk, improving disaster risk governance, investing in disaster risk reduction (through structural and non-structural measures) and disaster preparedness, early warning and building back better in the aftermath of a disaster.
The plan covers all phases of disaster management: Prevention, Mitigation, Response and Recovery.
It provides for horizontal and vertical integration among all the agencies and departments of the Government.
The plan also spells out the roles and responsibilities of all levels of Government right up to Panchayat and Urban local body level in a matrix format.
The plan has a regional approach, which will be beneficial not only for disaster management but also for development planning.
It is designed in such a way that it can be implemented in a scalable manner in all phases of disaster management.
It also identifies major activities such as early warning, information dissemination, medical care, fuel, transportation, search and rescue, evacuation, etc. to serve as a checklist for agencies responding to a disaster.
It also provides a generalised framework for recovery and offers flexibility to assess a situation and build back better.
To prepare communities to cope with disasters, it emphasises on a greater need for Information, Education and Communication activities.
It even calls for ethical guidelines for the media for coverage of disasters as well as self-regulation. The plan wants the media to respect the dignity and privacy of affected people.
Also, in a move aimed to stop rumours and spread of panic, the plan directed the authorities to schedule regular media briefing (depending on the severity of the disaster) and designate a nodal officer for interacting with the media on behalf of the government.

India joins The Hague Code of Conduct
India has joined The Hague Code of Conduct against Ballistic Missile Proliferation (HCoC).
India’s joining the Code signals its readiness to further strengthen the global non-proliferation regimes.
The government has also made it clear that this joining will not have any impact on the national security as well as country’s missile programmes.
About HCoC:
HCoC is a global ballistic missile proliferation regime established in 2002. It is a voluntary legally non-binding multilateral body aimed at preventing the spread of ballistic missiles that can deliver weapons of mass destruction.
It is the only multilateral code in the area of disarmament which has been adopted over the last years. It is the only normative instrument to verify the spread of ballistic missiles.
The HCOC does not ban ballistic missiles, but it does call for restraint in their production, testing, and export. Presently, there are 137 signatories.
The Code is meant to supplement the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) but its membership is not restricted. Under the Code, States make politically binding commitments to curb the proliferation of WMD-capable ballistic missiles and to exercise maximum restraint in developing, testing, and deploying such missiles.
Given the similarities between the technologies used in ballistic missiles and civilian rockets, the Code also introduces transparency measures such as annual declarations and pre-launch notifications regarding ballistic missile and space launch programs.
Austria is the administrative Central Contact of the Code, coordinating the information exchange under HCOC.

In 2014, Ireland had topped the first Good Country Index, outranking 130 other countries.
