Humanity at Risk, UNEP warns as it Demands more action on Climate

UNEP has warned the world over the negative impact of climate change and urged nations to take action to mitigate its effects.  The UN agency wants more action on climate as it noted that millions of people, animals and plants are at risk.
In the launch of the event dubbed: “Making Peace with Nature Report”, UNEP published a scientific blueprint to tackle biodiversity, climate and pollution emergencies. As various parts of the world are struck by the impact of climate change, there’s an imperative desire to take great care of the environment.
The report advocates the need for sustainable use of natural resources such land, air and water to avoid what has been termed in the report as “interlinked environmental crises.” Pollution, climate disruption and loss of biodiversity are great threats to living things, including humans.
UNEP is pressing the world to transform its relationship with nature in order to tackle the interlinked environmental crises. The global body warned that the world risks facing more pandemics, if no action is taken. 
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres used the occasion to advocate for global coalition in fighting climate change. UNEP Executive Director Inger Andersen co-launched the report with Guterres.
Andersen stated: “There is indeed no precedent for what we must do, but if 2020 was a disaster, 2021 can and must be the year humanity began making peace with nature and secured a fair, just and sustainable future for everyone.”

The giant Search Engine Company made the announcement about the launch of the SynthID Detector tool during Google's I/O 2025 developer conference. SynthID Detector is a tool developed to watermark and identify content generated through AI. The detector has the ability to identify AI-generated content across various platforms. Detectable content include text, images, audio and video. Google's DeepMind developed SynthID, a watermarking technology that is directly embedded into the content in contrast to traditional metadata tags. SynthID is a browser-based verification tool that permit users to upload content and receive a probability score revealing if it is AI-generated and watermarked with SynthID. For texts, SynthID adjust patterns and create a digital signature to be detected by AI. For images, the tool subtly modify pixels in a form that is invisible to the human eye. How Gener...
