What to expect from Egypt COP27 Climate Summit?
We are less than a month away from the climate summit COP 27th, which this year takes place in the luxury resort of Sharm El-Sheikh, in Egypt. This is the second time a Middle Eastern country hosts one of these summits. Morocco hosted the COP22 five years ago. However, since the last time world leaders met for the COP26, in Glasgow, UK, in November 2022, the world has changed a great deal. Russia has invaded Ukraine undermining Europe energy security; global inflation is at 40 years high, and we are headed to economic recession.

The remarkable power of Australian kelp
re than 45,000 years ago, by the shore of present-day Tasmania, a local person picked up a large piece of thick, dark brown seaweed. Its impervious tissue and resilient flexibility sparked an idea, and they realised that this giant piece of seaweed could solve one of the day's nagging problems. The piece of kelp was fashioned into a small rubbery bag, its edges perforated with a stick to give it structure, and plant fibres twisted around the stick to make a handle. From then on, the kelp was used as a versatile water carrier.
