India and Bangladesh have inked seven agreements for cooperation spanning from river water sharing to space exploration, as well as launched new connectivity and energy initiatives.  The two sides have signed seven Memorandums of Understanding (MoU), including one on removing water from the cross-border Kushiyara river. The arrangement would assist southern Assam in India and Bangladesh's Sylhet area. Cooperation in space technology, collaboration on information technology systems used by railways in areas such as freight movement, science and technology cooperation, training of Bangladesh Railway personnel and Bangladeshi judicial officers in India, and cooperation in broadcasting between Prasar Bharati and Bangladesh Television were also areas

It was taken from https://news.abplive.com/news/world/india-and-uk-to-launch-solar-grid-project-green-grids-initiative-at-cop26-report-1491040  At the Conference of Parties (COP26) in Glasgow, UK, India and the United Kingdom jointly proclaimed "one sun, one world, one grid" — or OSOWOG. GGI-OSOWOG was founded in 2018 to create worldwide linked solar energy systems.   In collaboration with the United Kingdom, India announced the start of the Green Grids Initiative — One Sun, One World, One Grid (GGI-OSOWOG) under the International Solar Alliance. The OSOWOG's objective is 'The Sun Never Sets,' and it is constantly in some geographical spot, globally, at any given moment. The initiative aims to provide a framework for global collaboration on the effective use of renewable resources and to guarantee that clean and efficient energy is a reliable alternative for all nations to satisfy their energy need

 ~Preet Chinese President Xi Jinping recently proposed a new Global Security Initiative (GSI). The GSI seeks to oppose the United States' Indo-Pacific strategy and the Quad (India, US, Australia, Japan grouping). China, on the other hand, did not give much clarity or explanation regarding the planned global security programme. With escalating challenges from unilateralism, hegemony, and power politics, as well as growing deficiencies in peace, security, trust, and governance, humanity is confronted with more intractable issues and security concerns.  As a result, China maintained that the Global Security Initiative is intended to safeguard the notion of "indivisible security." According to the notion of "indivisible security," no country may increase its own security at the expense of others. GSI advocates for "shared, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable" security, as well as the development of an Asian security paradigm based on mutual respect

Despite the economic repercussions from the epidemic, global military expenditure increased in 2021, hitting an all-time high of USD 2.1 trillion, according to the most recent figures from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). As a consequence of a strong economic rebound in 2021, the worldwide military burden—global military spending as a proportion of global GDP—will fall by 0.1 percentage point, from 2.3 percent in 2020 to 2.2 percent in 2021. SIPRI is an independent international institute committed to conflict, weaponry, arms control, and disarmament research. It was founded in Stockholm in 1966 (Sweden). The top five spenders in 2021 will be the United States, China, India, the United Kingdom, and Russia. They contributed for 62 percent of total expenditure, with the United States and China accounting for the remaining 52 percent. In 2021, military spending in Asia and Oceania will equal USD586 billion. Spending in the region was 3.5 percent great

~Preet. Ukraine recently asked the US to identify Russia as a "state supporter of terrorism." The designation would trigger the most severe penalties authorised to the US against Russia.  The US Secretary of State (the minister principally in charge of foreign affairs) has the authority to designate countries as "State Sponsors of Terrorism" if they "have persistently given assistance for acts of international terrorism." Sanctions can also be imposed on nations and individuals that participate in specific commerce with designated countries. There are now four nations on the list of state supporters of terrorism.  Syria, Iran, North Korea, and Cuba are all on the list.  There are currently three statutes that allow the Secretary of State to designate a foreign government for providing repeated support for acts of international terrorism: the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, which prohibits the transfer of most aid, the Arms Export Control Act (AECA), which

The Frontiers report identifies and proposes solutions to three environmental issues: urban noise pollution, wildfires, and phenological shifts, all of which require attention and action from governments and the general public to address the triple planetary crisis of climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss.  The report compiles studies on noise levels in various cities around the world and depicts a subset of 61 cities as well as the range of dB (decibel) levels that have been measured. The five Indian cities included in this list are Delhi, Jaipur, Kolkata, Asansol, and Moradabad. Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, was observed to have a dB range ranging from 29 to 114. It was the second-noisiest city on the list, with a maximum rating of 114. While road traffic, industry, and high populatio

 ~Preet The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) just released its flagship State of World Population Report 2022, titled "Seeing the Unseen: The Case for Action in the Neglected Crisis of Unintended Pregnancy." The United Nations Population Fund is a UN General Assembly subsidiary that acts as a sexual and reproductive health institution. The Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (ECOSOC) determines its mandate. It was created in 1967 as a trust fund and began operating in 1969. The United Nations Population Fund was formally renamed in 1987, although the previous term, 'UNFPA' for the United Nations Fund for Population Activities, was kept. UNFPA works directly to address the SDGs for health (SDG3), education (SDG4), and gender equality (SDG5) (SDG5). UNFPA is exclusively funded by voluntary contributions from donor governments, international organisations, the business sector, foundations, and individuals, rather than the UN budget.
