#India has expressed disappointment at the shift of focus from adequate #ClimateFinance enablement to emphasis only on mitigation, at the Plenary Session of #CoP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
7 Pillars to strengthen India - CARICOM relation.
*The seven pillars- form the acronym C-A-R-I-C-O-M: capacity building; agriculture and food security; renewable energy and climate change; innovation, technology and trade; cricket and culture; ocean economy; and medicine and healthcare*. #UPSC #Guyana #PMModiVisitToGuyana

Genus Koima:
β The generic name, Koima is derived from Malayalam and is the vernacular word used for loaches.
β It encompasses two known species that were previously assigned under the genus Nemacheilus.
β Features of genus Koima : It has a unique colour pattern comprising a yellowish-brown ground colour, single row of black spots on lateral line, all fins hyaline, and absence of a uniform banding pattern on dorsal side.
β Habitat: Kunthi, Bhavani, Moyar, Kabini, and Pambar rivers in the Western Ghats

πNano Urea:
β It is a nanotechnology-based revolutionary agri-input that provides nitrogen to plants.
β It is developed and patented by the Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited (IFFCO).
β IFFCO Nano Urea is the only nano fertilizer approved by the Government of India and included in the Fertilizer Control Order (FCO).
πFeatures:
β Compared to conventional urea prill, Nano Urea has a desirable particle size of about 20-50 nm, and more surface area (10,000 times over 1 mm urea prill), and number of particles (55,000 nitrogen particles over 1 mm urea prill).
β It contains 4.0 % total nitrogen (w/v).
πBenefits:
β It is produced by an energy-efficient, environment-friendly production process with less carbon footprints.
β It is more efficient in terms of nutrient uptake and releases nitrogen more slowly.
β It reduces the amount of nitrogen lost to the atmosphere as greenhouse gases.
β It is expected to improve crop productivity, soil health, and nutritional quality of produce and address the "imbalanced and excessive use" of conventional fertilizer.

π The article discusses the deteriorating air quality in Delhi and its implications for public health.
β Persistent Air Pollution: Delhi experiences poor air quality for a significant part of the year, particularly during the winter months.
β Health Impacts: Air pollution, especially exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), has severe health consequences, including respiratory diseases, cardiovascular problems, and premature death.
β Sources of Pollution: Various factors contribute to Delhi's air pollution, including vehicular emissions, industrial activities, construction dust, and stubble burning in neighboring states.
β Government Initiatives: Despite various measures taken by the government, such as odd-even schemes and stricter emission norms, the air quality in Delhi remains a major concern.
β Need for Comprehensive Solutions: Addressing the issue requires a multi-pronged approach, including stricter regulations, technological advancements, and behavioral changes.
