[4k UHD] Fake Seafood: Global Crime Rings and Smuggling [Oceana / Business Insider]

Global News — Sun, 08 Sep 2024 17:19:30 GMT

According to the ocean-conservation nonprofit Oceana, seafood may be one of the most commonly fraudulent foods we come in contact with. Your red snapper could actually be a tilapia fillet. That wild-caught salmon? It could be farm-raised. Crab, lobster, and scallops have also been victims of fraudulent swaps — some of the substitutions could harm human health. But there are also entire criminal rings smuggling seafood across the world. They often fish illegally and have been involved in human trafficking. Why is it so hard to catch bad actors in seafood supply chains? And how can we ensure we're getting the seafood on the label?

[4k UHD] A Better Future -- Choice and Consequence (United Nations)

Global News — Sun, 08 Sep 2024 00:11:30 GMT

In a world facing political turmoil, economic slowdown, rising inequalities and a worsening environmental crisis, our promise to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030 is at stake.

The growing impacts of climate change, compounded by the increasing number of conflicts, are contributing to alarming trends that could reverse our progress in achieving sustainable development. Shockingly, as many as 309 million people in 72 countries are facing chronic hunger, while a staggering 2.2 billion lack access to safe water. The United Nations announced that forced displacement rose to 120 million in May 2024.

Yet, amidst the uncertainty, there is hope—our collective actions to build a better, more just and sustainable future. We stand at a critical moment of choice and consequence if we are to achieve the 2030 Agenda.

We must act now to eradicate poverty, end hunger, combat climate change, promote peaceful and inclusive societies and strengthen global partnerships.
