Zambia convierte la educación gratuita en un derecho legal. Zambia ha aprobado su primera ley que garantiza la educación pública gratuita, transformando una política de 2021 en un derecho legal para todos los niños. La reforma prohíbe a las escuelas negar plaza a los alumnos por no poder pagar la matrícula y dificulta que futuros gobiernos reviertan la medida. Desde la abolición de las tasas escolares, la matrícula se ha disparado y se han contratado a más de 41.000 docentes. APA News

Zambia makes free education a legal right. Zambia has passed its first law guaranteeing free public education, turning a 2021 policy into a legal entitlement for every child. The reform bars schools from denying learners a place because they can’t pay fees, and makes reversal harder for future governments. Since fees were abolished, enrolment has surged, and over 41,000 teachers have been recruited. APA News https://apanews.net/zambia-hichilema-signs-free-education-bill-into-law/

COP31 hosts put electrification at centre of climate talks. Turkey and Australia want electrification to be a headline target at COP31, with Turkey’s environment minister calling for electricity to meet 35% of final global energy demand by 2035, up from about 20% today. The focus is transport, heating, industry and clean cooking: sectors where fossil fuels still dominate despite cheaper renewables, EVs and heat pumps.

Una prohibición comercial ha salvado al gecko más hermoso del mundo. El gecko enano turquesa, nativo de Tanzania, fue una mascota popular en Europa; esto se convirtió en un problema cuando los coleccionistas comenzaron a extraerlos de los bosques para abastecer el mercado extranjero. Catalogado como en peligro crítico de extinción en 2012, el gecko fue objeto de una prohibición comercial internacional, y ahora las poblaciones de geckos en Tanzania se han recuperado hasta alcanzar los niveles previos a la prohibición.

A trade ban has saved the world’s most gorgeous gecko. Tanzania’s native turquoise dwarf gecko was once a popular pet in Europe; this became a problem when collectors started stripping them from forests to feed the foriegn market. Listed as critically endangered in 2012, the gecko was subject to an international trade ban, and now gecko numbers in Tanzania have bounced back to pre-trade levels.
