Torishima joins UNESCO World Engineering Day 2025 campaign
London, UK - 21 March, 2025 - An International Day proclaimed by UNESCO General Conference and open to everyone, WED is jointly operated by UNESCO and the World Federation for Engineering Organisations (WFEO), which spans some 100 countries and represents more than 30 million engineers.
The launch in Paris marks the start of a year-long campaign of events, films and related articles and news, highlighting the achievements of engineers and engineering around the world, and promoting engineering as a career.
Produced by the SJH Group – the official media partner and broadcaster for WED – all campaign content, which includes a multimedia hub dedicated to Torishima, is hosted on the WED website at www.worldengineeringday.net .
As an official partner, Torishima's insights and expertise will form an integral part of the 12-month campaign, which provides a springboard for governments, UN-associated organisations, policymakers, educators and leaders in the public and private sectors to raise awareness of the importance of engineering.
The WED campaign has an estimated global reach of more than 100 million individuals, and this year's theme of 'Shaping our sustainable future through engineering' focuses on the essential role that engineering has to play in achieving the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Gerry Ashe, Director and Deputy CEO of Torishima, says: 'Water is an essential resource for life and the sustainability of the planet. At Torishima, our pumping technology enables efficient water management at every stage of the cycle, from catchment to purification and supply. Contributing to SDG 6 is part of our identity and commitment to society. We are proud to join in the celebration of World Engineering Day, highlighting the crucial role of engineering in solving the world's water challenges.'
Addressing the significance of WED, Mustafa Shehu, President of the WFEO, says: 'World Engineering Day 2025 is all about putting engineering in the global spotlight, showing how engineers are leading the way in the effort to meet the UN's Sustainable Development Goal targets, and inspiring the next generation to find out more about what a career in engineering has to offer.'
Jacques de Mereuil, Executive Director of the WFEO, says: 'We're thrilled to be involved in launching this important international celebration and campaign at UNESCO's global headquarters in Paris, and delighted to have Torishima involved, as an authority in water pump technology.'

Is AI the exception to ‘America First'?
With help from Aaron Mak The AI Action Plan that President Donald Trump rolled out last week contained quite an easter egg for globalists. In many ways, the 28-page document was very much in line with Trump's swaggering, chest-puffing attitude toward foreign policy. It took an 'America first' approach that rhetorically paralleled the administration's punishing tariff threats, withdrawal from 'woke' UNESCO and drive-by references to 'the evil of globalism.' But packed into the AI plan's pages — page 20, to be exact — was a pivot: a call to forge 'an enduring global alliance' on the technology. The plan gets pretty specific. It calls for the State and Commerce departments to leverage the U.S. position in international bodies — it names the United Nations, the OECD, G7, G20 and the International Telecommunication Union, among others — to advocate standards and governance approaches that 'reflect American values.' (If you're not familiar, the ITU is a 150-year-old UN agency that sets rules for global telecom and tech infrastructure — and has been the subject of a global power struggle before.) So wait — did AI just carve out its own exception to 'America First'? And what does that mean for America's increasingly fragile relationships with Western allies? European diplomats I called from Germany, France and Brussels declined to comment. Karsten Wildberger, Germany's digital minister, attended the AI Action Plan announcement in Washington and nodded to the sense of alliance in a CNN interview: 'Well, look, Germany and Europe, we are great partners of the U.S. — 75 percent of our cloud services is serviced by great American tech companies, and we value this partnership.' Ronan Murphy, director of the tech policy program at the Center for European Policy Analysis in Washington, told DFD that although he saw the theme of the plan as 'very much America First, AI dominance,' he agreed there was a vibe shift when it comes to how to actually push that agenda. 'The outright acknowledgement that there is a benefit to working with others in this technology is a little bit new, for this administration,' Murphy said. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy did not immediately respond to questions from DFD. One group that has long advocated for the U.S. to take a more robust role in AI on the world stage is the Special Competitive Studies Project, founded in 2021 by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. The group submitted its recommendations to the White House ahead of the release of the plan. Joe Wang, vice president of global affairs, said he saw SCSP's ideas reflected in the action plan's third pillar, which reads: 'To succeed in the global AI competition, America must do more than promote AI within its own borders. The United States must also drive adoption of American AI systems, computing hardware, and standards throughout the world.' While there are some calls in the action plan for tracking risks, Wang said the export of the tech stack for AI was paramount: 'If we are not the ones doing that, China will be.' As if on cue, China said Saturday that it planned to launch a new world AI organization, with a focus on the Global South. 'We should strengthen coordination to form a global AI governance framework that has broad consensus as soon as possible,' Premier Li Qiang told the annual World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, according to Channel News Asia. In light of the race with China, any restrictions on American technology could be seen as slowing down Team USA, or the 'enduring global alliance' the AI plan would seek to build. Some of those restrictions still come from American allies — and are still causing arguments. Last week, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick pledged to use tariff negotiations to whack at digital services taxes that U.S. tech firms complain unfairly target them. 'Donald Trump's got these tech companies back and we're working on it,' Lutnick said. 'You saw, we got rid of it in Canada, we got rid of it in all sorts of countries, they knock it down, that's one of our key objectives.' And House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is on a junket to Brussels and London this week blasting European tech regulations. His work builds on the comments Vice President JD Vance made to the Paris AI Action Summit in February: 'The AI future is not going to be won by hand-wringing about safety. It will be won by building -- from reliable power plants to the manufacturing facilities that can produce the chips of the future.' Bluster aside, the U.S. just reached a trade deal with the EU that skipped over digital taxes or regulation. Ironically, the drive to beat China may be a moderating force for the America First AI policy machine. Wang, at SCSP, said as Washington and Beijing hustle to build out AI infrastructure across the world, the U.S. offers an advantage. China's earlier 'Belt and Road' initiative left countries saddled with 'predatory' giant projects and expensive maintenance, he said. One recent analysis found China is the largest debt collector in the developing world. China's new AI plan is 'the next generation of how China can leverage a new tech ecosystem to make sure partners remain tied to China in a way that is advantageous to China, not the partner countries,' Wang said. By contrast, he said, 'The partnership we operate is a more cooperative system.' Tesla's robotaxis red light Tesla hit a permitting snag with its plans to debut robotaxis in San Francisco over the weekend, reports POLITICO's California Decoded team. Tesla initially informed staff last week it would launch the robotaxis in the city as soon as that Friday, Business Insider reported. But local officials told the Decoded team that Tesla never applied for the permits to do so — even with safety drivers behind the wheel. The California Public Utilities Commission told Decoded that Tesla notified the agency it would offer the service to families and friends of employees, and certain members of the public. 'If Tesla actually deploys its AVs in San Francisco without permits, these vehicles should be seized and impounded,' Democratic state Sen. Scott Wiener told POLITICO. 'We have permitting & safety rules for a reason. Elon Musk isn't exempt from those rules.' The warnings may have worked. Members of the Decoded team report that they didn't see any Tesla robotaxis on San Francisco's streets this weekend. Tesla did not respond to an inquiry from DFD. X to comply with Irish social media law X implemented age verification and parental control measures over the weekend to abide by the terms of Ireland's Online Safety Code, POLITICO's Eliza Gkritsi reports. That law, which went into effect on July 21, requires sites hosting adult content to implement practices to protect minors. Ireland's media regulation agency, Coimisiún na Meán, said last Wednesday that X had not taken any actions to comply with the code, and requested that the company provide information about its plans to do so. Coimisiún na Meán told POLITICO on Monday that X had implemented the measures for minors, but Irish regulators said they are still determining whether those steps are sufficient. The company is currently challenging the Online Safety Code in Irish courts. post of the day THE FUTURE IN 5 LINKS Stay in touch with the whole team: Aaron Mak (amak@ Mohar Chatterjee (mchatterjee@ Steve Heuser (sheuser@ Nate Robson (nrobson@ and Daniella Cheslow (dcheslow@

Clean Energy's ‘Unstoppable' Global Growth
Current Climate brings you the latest news about the business of sustainability every Monday. Sign up to get it in your inbox. AFP via Getty Images F or decades, big shifts in U.S. policy have set the standard for the rest of the world. But when it comes to the Trump Administration's efforts to accelerate the use of oil, gas and coal, there's little indication the world will follow. There's a simple reason: solar, wind and other renewable power sources are cheaper and their capabilities are growing much faster than fossil fuels. A new assessment by the U.N.'s International Renewable Energy Agency found that 91% of clean energy projects added in 2024 were cheaper to build and operate than those using fossil fuels. An estimated $2 trillion was invested in clean energy last year, or $800 billion more than for new fossil fuel projects, a 70% increase over the past decade. And on average, solar power systems were 41% less expensive than the cheapest fossil fuel alternative, while onshore wind projects were 53% less costly, the report found. Overall, wind was the cheapest source of new renewable electricity last year, averaging 34 cents per kilowatt hour, followed by solar at 43 cents/kWh. Globally, a record 582 gigawatts of renewable electricity capacity was added in 2024, resulting in $57 billion in cost savings, according to IRENA. Beyond cost and climate benefits, increased use of renewable power also helps boost the energy security of individual nations, particularly those that are resource-poor, by reducing their dependence on imported fossil fuels. 'The energy transition is unstoppable, but the transition is not yet fast enough or fair enough,' said UN Secretary‑General António Guterres. 'This is not just a shift in power. It is a shift in possibility.' Even in the U.S., clean energy projects continue apace. Though President Trump's new budget eliminates federal incentives for large-scale solar and wind projects in the U.S., those changes phase in over the next two years, giving big utilities time to add more capacity in the near term. This year alone, a record 32.5 gigawatts of utility-scale solar will likely be added to the domestic grid, along with 7.7 GWs of wind power and 18.2 GWs of new battery storage capacity, according to an Energy Information Administration estimate. By comparison, just 4.4 GWs of new gas-fired power will likely be added. Clean power 'is no longer a promise, it is a fact' that can't be stopped, Guterres said. 'The fossil fuel lobby will try, and we know the lengths to which they will go. But, I have never been more confident that they will fail because we have passed the point of no return.' The Big Read Newsday via Getty Images New York City's Congestion Pricing Is Working The latest data from TomTom shows that New York City's congestion pricing is working as planned. Real-time traffic patterns from January through mid-July indicate that downtown Manhattan has experienced a notable decrease in motor vehicle congestion and a corresponding drop in travel times. The amount of time drivers spend in rush hour has decreased, and average speeds for motorists in their cars have increased. Congestion decreased by nearly 4% year over year in the first four months of 2025, from 26.2% to 22.8%. Travel times for motorists decreased by 90 seconds per six miles as average car speeds increased slightly from 16.3 km/h to 17.1 km/h (note: motorists still have average speeds slower than many bicyclists). July congestion continued to drop, from 24.4% to 22.3%, with only half the month measured. Introduced on January 5, 2025, NYC's congestion toll was the first of its kind in the United States. The scheme requires drivers to pay a fee—based on the time and duration of their visit and their vehicle type—to enter the lower part of Manhattan, from the southern end of Central Park to the city's financial district. Read more here Hot Topic Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. Rachel Cleetus, Union of Concerned Scientists' senior policy director, and UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain on the possibility of the EPA abandoning the 'Endangerment Finding' and its efforts to regulate greenhouse gas emissions (Note: 'On Monday, June 30, 2025, EPA sent over its 'Reconsideration of 2009 Endangerment Finding and Greenhouse Gas Vehicle Standards' proposal to the Office of Management and Budget,' an EPA spokesperson told Forbes . 'The proposal will be published for public notice and comment once it has completed interagency review and been signed by the Administrator.') What impact do you anticipate from the elimination of the Endangerment Finding? Cleetus: We need to see what's in the actual proposal, what exactly they're going to say. But it's so clear in this case that there's no rational basis to undermine or overturn the Endangerment Finding or to roll back all of these regulations that are meant to protect public health. Of course, this would be challenged in a variety of ways, including just the science, putting forward what is the latest science, which is even more dire and compelling since the 2009 Endangerment Finding. That record, the science is very, very clear and there will be a variety of challenges to what EPA puts forward. But we need to see what's in the actual proposal, how exactly they are setting up this evasion of their responsibility. If this happens and is upheld in court, is there any ability at the state or local level in the U.S. to maintain certain aspects of climate-oriented regulations? Cleetus: I don't want to speculate too far into the future because we don't know what EPA will release. What I can say is this administration and the EPA has shown itself to not care about public health at all and to be boosting fossil fuels in every way it can. And not only that, they are really overreaching in ways that go beyond what's legally their mandate to do. We have not seen Congress stand up strongly. We are a democracy, and there are supposed to be checks and balances. The courts have a role, Congress has a role, and policymakers are supposed to be looking out for the public interest. As far as what comes next, I think anybody who cares about public health and welfare understands that climate change is a reality and it's on our doorstep. Wherever you live in this country, it is showing up in your community. There's no denying it. This is not a political issue. It doesn't matter if you're in a Red state or a Blue state. These climate impacts are being experienced by communities everywhere in this country. So any policymaker who's looking out for their constituents, any lawmaker who's thinking about the public has to take it seriously. Given the increasing frequency of severe weather events fueled by a changing climate, how does eliminating the Endangerment Finding at this time strike you? Swain: As everyone else has characterized it–anyone who knows anything about climate change or climate policy or carbon emissions or extreme weather or anything else–it would effectively end the federal government's ability to regulate greenhouse gases as a pollutant that can cause harm. That's a big deal because it is the primary regulatory or legal mechanism by which the federal government has done so in many cases in recent years. We've already seen dramatic rollbacks in other pollution regulations, dramatic rollbacks and support for green energy and for expanding the electrical grid and everything else, so this is on top of all of that. Practically speaking, the U.S. is only one country of course. This doesn't affect any other country's regulations of greenhouse gases. But the U.S. is one of the largest global emitters. And it has historically been a role model for much of the rest of the world in large-scale environmental policies. I think this marks the end of that era pretty definitively. We are seeing, in general, far more extreme heat events, even more record-shattering heat events. We're seeing more extreme downpours of rain like the ones we've seen in Texas and so many different places around the country this summer. And we are seeing intensification of hurricanes and of wildfires. Even though the U.S. is not the only global emitter and the U.S. does not control global climate policy, it is still bad news to the extent that it raises the potential of extra fractions of a degree of warming this century, even just based on what's happening in the U.S., because it slows progress in a very important country from a global perspective. It also sends a signal globally that not everyone is cooperating, and that signal of cooperation itself is an important part of getting buy-in from all nations.

The Planet Can't Afford Billionaires
A decade ago, world leaders agreed to a host of sustainable development goals. Today, governments are wildly off track to achieve them. Simultaneously, efforts to address global poverty and climate change have been derailed. The problem isn't a lack of money to deliver on climate and development. Since 2015, the wealth of the world's richest 1% has surged by over $33.9 trillion, enough to end annual poverty 22 times. Private interests are hijacking efforts to fund a sustainable future. In fact, 60% of low-income countries are spending more on debt repayments than on healthcare, education, or climate adaptation, disproportionately impacting women and girls. A child born today is estimated to experience four times as many extreme weather events as someone born in 1960. You don't need to be an expert in international development to understand what it means to grow up in this reality. To unlock public finance for development and climate goals, governments must build positive alliances. Earlier this month, world leaders convened in Seville, Spain, at the UN Financing for Development Conference to discuss how to finance global development goals. Despite the notable absence of the United States and the failure of other powerful governments to match the urgency of the debt crisis hitting Global South countries, we remain hopeful. Civil society groups, activists, and Indigenous leaders were out in force, demanding urgent action for a just and green future. Spain and Brazil announced a new coalition to advance global efforts to tax the super-rich, joined by South Africa and Chile. Another group of eight countries, led by Barbados, France and Kenya, launched a coalition to advance solidarity levies on business and first-class flyers and heavily tax private jets, in order to support domestic revenue mobilization in Global South countries, and international climate and development finance. Read More: The Founders Knew Great Wealth Inequality Was Dangerous These new initiatives to tax extreme wealth and fight inequality are building important political momentum. But to truly deliver on a development financing system that works for the good of the people, we need a new rulebook for the global economy. One that democratises power and money, overcoming neocolonial and neoliberal dynamics that leave Global North countries and investors holding the purse strings. These rules need to be agreed through inclusive multilateral fora, such as the upcoming UN Tax Convention negotiations in August, and at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Brazil. These moments could build towards an international agreement for progressive taxation of oil and gas corporations and high net worth individuals, in line with the 'polluter pays' principle, raising crucial climate and development finance that can be delivered through existing UN mechanisms. This would be in line with public opinion: a global survey commissioned by our two organizations finds that 84% of people surveyed support giving all countries a say when global decisions on tax are made. Eight out of ten people support taxing oil and gas corporations to pay for damages caused by fossil-fuel driven climate disasters like storms, floods, droughts, and wildfires. This consensus exists across income levels and political affiliation, in all 13 countries surveyed, including Brazil, India, South Africa, and most G7 countries. Read More: Floods are Becoming More Common. Here's What I Tell my Daughters The scale of today's social and environmental injustices cannot be fixed through minor tweaks to the existing financial system. The political opportunity for bold action in this area is clear for all to see: 77% of respondents in the aforementioned survey said they would be more willing to support a political candidate who prioritizes taxing the super rich and polluting companies like oil, gas, and coal companies. Will governments seize the opportunity for bold leadership and follow the wishes of the global majority? For engaged citizens and civil society, we have a critical role in keeping the spotlight on policymakers and pushing for greater ambition. Public pressure in support of economic and climate justice is surging and we are witnessing sparks of political momentum. Only collective action and multilateral cooperation can fan it into a flame. Those obstructing the process, abdicating their responsibilities, or abstaining from diplomacy will have to eventually face the people. No individual billionaire, corporation, or country should be allowed to block the will and wellbeing of 8 billion people and the future of our planet.
