One of the main sources of lead contamination in developing countries is e-waste , or improperly disposed electronic waste, often imported from industrialized countries. In addition, regulation and public education are still insufficient in many regions of the world. According to UNICEF, the lack of awareness of the risks associated with lead contributes to the continued exposure of the population, without many people realizing it.
WHO and other international organizations are calling for global monitoring of lead exposure, especially among children, and for policies to raise awareness and prevent it. Public policies must be stepped up so that lead contamination does not continue to harm entire generations and hinder the development of the most vulnerable phone number list economies.enmark is preparing for a radical change in the fight against climate change. The Danish Parliament approved the world's first tax on emissions from livestock on November 18. After a long negotiation process, an agreement was reached on the tax, which had been proposed in June. Farmers will have to start paying it from 2030.
is part of a broader plan to reduce the country’s emissions. It focuses on emissions from livestock and their waste, and could become a model for other states (as reported by Infosperber).
From 2030, livestock farmers will have to pay an initial tax of 300 Danish kroner (about 40 euros) per tonne of CO₂ equivalent. By 2035, this amount will increase to 750 kroner (100 euros). However, the tax will be mitigated by tax breaks, which will cover 60% of the amount due.
The Danish climate package, which also includes other measures, will cost around 43 billion kroner, as explained by the Minister for Green Transformation, Jeppe Bruus, in an interview with the German «Tagesschau». The overall goal is to reduce CO₂ equivalent emissions by around 1.8 million tonnes.
