Enhanced Transparency Framework ( ETF )

By

Relevance: "Guyana becomes second country, and first Small Island Developing State, to submit climate progress report under the enhanced transparency framework" - UNFCCC

In 2015 the Paris Agreement established an Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) to build trust and confidence that countries are contributing to global climate action, and set out the Global Goal for Adaptation (GGA) 

The ETF provides arrangements to track and report on national climate change mitigation policies and adaptation actions and support towards achieving the global temperature and adaptation goals, including progress on implementing and achieving individual Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

The ETF includes flexibility for developing country Parties, considering Parties’ different capacities.

No later than December 2024 countries should report on the implementation and achievement of their national objectives through Biennial Transparency Reports (BTR). These reports provide a snapshot of progress made by countries to meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement.  

In 2021, the two-year Glasgow–Sharm el-Sheikh work programme on the GGA was launched to enhance understanding of the methodologies, indicators, data and metrics, and support needed for assessing progress towards adaptation. 

Both activities will inform the Global Stocktake (GST) to assess the collective progress countries have made and achieve the long-term goals of limiting anthropogenic global warming and adapting to its impacts. The first GST runs from 2021 to 2023 and will then run every 5 years.

Russian parliament passed a bill to revoke its ratification of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty

By
Relevance:  Russia revokes ratification of nuclear test ban treaty (CTBT) - ICAN But it affirmed that it will  retain its cooperation with the treaty’s verification system and implementing organisation.  Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty: The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), which opened for signature in 1996, was intended to prohibit all nuclear weapon test explosions. Over 2,000 nuclear tests occurred between 1945 and 1996: the United States (1,000+), the Soviet Union (700+), France (200+), the United Kingdom and China (45 each). As at January 2013, 183 countries had signed the Treaty, of which 158 have also ratified it, including three of the nuclear weapon states (France, the Russian Federation and the United Kingdom). However, 44 specific nuclear technology holder countries must sign and ratify before the CTBT can enter into force. Of these, eight are still missing: China, Egypt, India , Iran, Israel, North Korea, Pakistan and the US. India , North Korea and Pakista...

Interstellar space and Interstellar Probes ( Voyager and New Horizons Missions )

By
Interstellar Space: Interstellar space is often called the space between the stars, but more specifically, it’s the region between our Sun’s heliosphere and the astrospheres of other stars. Our heliosphere is a vast bubble of plasma – a gas of charged particles – that spews out of the Sun. This outflow is known as the solar wind. The bubble surrounds the Sun and stretches beyond the planets. Both Voyager spacecraft had to travel more than 11 billion miles (17 billion kilometers) from the Sun in order to cross the edge of the heliosphere. This bubble is moving through interstellar space as the Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way galaxy. As our heliosphere plows through space, it creates a bow wave, like the wave formed by the bow of a ship. Kuiper Belt &  Oort Cloud: The Kuiper Belt is a doughnut-shaped ring of icy objects around the Sun, extending just beyond the orbit of Neptune from about 30 to 55 AU. Similar to the asteroid belt, the Kuiper Belt is a region of leftovers f...

ISRO developing semi-cryogenic engine working on LOX Kerosene propellant

By
ISRO is developing a 2000 kN thrust semi-cryogenic engine working on an LOX Kerosene propellant combination for enhancing the payload capability of LVM3 and for future launch vehicles. Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) is the lead centre for the development of semi-cryogenic propulsion systems with the support of other launch vehicle centres of ISRO. The assembly and testing of the propulsion modules were done at the ISRO propulsion complex (IPRC), Mahendragiri. As part of the engine development, a pre-burner ignition test article, which is a full complement of the engine power head system excluding the turbopumps is realized. The first ignition trial was conducted successfully on May 2, 2024, at semi cryo integrated engine test facility (SIET) at IPRC, Mahendragiri, which was dedicated to the nation recently by the honorable Prime Minister of India. Smooth and sustained ignition of the preburner is demonstrated which is vital for the starting of the semi-cryogenic engine. Semi-c...
