WASHINGTON — Four astronauts from the United States and Canada became the humans to travel the furthest from the Earth April 6 as they went around the moon on the Artemis 2 mission. The Orion spacecraft Integrity reached the most distant point from Earth in its trajectory at 7:02 p.m. Eastern, 406,771 kilometers. That came two minutes after the spacecraft made its closest approach to the lunar surface at a distance of 6,545 kilometers. About six hours earlier, the spacecraft broke the record for the furthest humans have flown from Earth, set by the Apollo 13 mission 56 years ago at a distance of 400,171 kilometers. “As we surpass the furthest distance humans have ever traveled from planet Earth, we do so in honoring the extraordinary efforts and feats of our predecessors in human space exploration,” Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen said shortly after Artemis 2 broke the Apollo 13 record. The crew, which includes NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, was awakened with a recorded message from the late Jim Lovell, who commanded Apollo 13 and also flew on Apollo 8, the first human mission to orbit the moon in 1968. Lovell recorded the message...

AMSTERDAN / LONDON, Feb 3 2026 (IPS) - “The ocean’s health is humanity’s health”, said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, in September 2025. He was commenting after the High Seas Treaty (BBNJ) [1] finally achieved ratification, going on to call for “a swift, full implementation” from all partners. As of January 17, 2026, the treaty has come into force, meaning the time for implementation is now. What is the High Seas Treaty? Only 1% of the high seas are currently protected. The new treaty will greatly increase safeguards, with significant implications for activities covering nearly 50% of the Earth’s surface. The High Seas Treaty establishes, for the first time, a legal mechanism to govern activities affecting biodiversity in the areas of the ocean that lie outside the jurisdiction of any single country (ie their Exclusive Economic Zones, typically 200 miles from their coastline). The agreement was achieved after nearly 20 years of dialogue, much of which was carried by Small Island Developing States (SIDS), Indigenous peoples and coastal communities. For them, the relationship with the ocean is most direct and the threats to it are most existential. The entry into force of such a significant legal instrument sends a powerful message...

China’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions fell by 1% in the final quarter of 2025, likely securing a decline of 0.3% for the full year as a whole. This extends a “flat or falling” trend in China’s CO2 emissions that began in March 2024 and has now lasted for nearly two years. The new analysis for Carbon Brief shows that, in 2025, emissions from fossil fuels increased by an estimated 0.1%, but this was more than offset by a 7% decline in CO2 from cement. Other key findings include: CO2 emissions fell year-on-year in almost all major sectors in 2025, including transport (3%), power (1.5%) and building materials (7%). The key exception was the chemicals industry, where emissions grew 12%. Solar power output increased by 43% year-on-year, wind by 14% and nuclear 8%, helping push down coal generation by 1.9%. Energy storage capacity grew by a record 75 gigawatts (GW), well ahead of the rise in peak demand of 55GW. This means that growth in energy storage capacity and clean-power output topped the increases in peak and total electricity demand, respectively. The CO2 numbers imply that China’s carbon intensity – its fossil-fuel emissions per unit of GDP – fell by 4.7%...
