1. **Amsterdam Outlaws Fossil Fuel Ads**
– Amsterdam is the first capital city to ban advertisements for high-carbon products, including meat, flights, and internal combustion engine cars.
– The ban started on 1 May and follows similar actions in other Dutch cities.
– The policy aims to reduce climate change impacts by limiting promotion of fossil fuels and high-carbon products.
– Some opposition came from the meat industry and voices concerned about commercial freedom.
– Health advocates liken the move to effective tobacco advertising bans.
2. **Ghana’s First Marine Reserve**
– Ghana declared its first marine protected area, the Greater Cape reserve (703 sq km), a key fish spawning ground currently affected by overfishing.
– The reserve has zones restricting or prohibiting fishing to aid ecosystem recovery.
– Success depends on enforcement but promises to protect vital ecosystems and support coastal communities’ livelihoods and food security.
3. **Marine Protection Success off Scotland**
– Since banning bottom trawling, a destructive fishing method, in the South Arran marine reserve, seabed species have significantly recovered.
– The protected area has double the species and triple the number of animals compared to trawled areas.
– Bottom trawling remains legal in many marine reserves globally but is recognized as damaging.
– Greece will ban bottom trawling in all its marine reserves starting 2030.
