Amnesty International Urges Australia to Halt Fossil Fuel Expansion Ahead of COP31

Amnesty International Urges Australia to Halt Fossil Fuel Expansion Ahead of COP31

Amnesty International is calling on Australia to cease fossil fuel expansion and support environmental defenders to demonstrate genuine climate leadership in the Asia-Pacific region. This appeal comes as governments, Pacific leaders, communities, and civil society gather in Fiji and Tuvalu for the Pre-COP31 meetings. Amnesty International emphasizes that Australia, as the President of Negotiations at COP31, has a responsibility to advocate for human rights-centered outcomes. The organization argues that Australia cannot credibly claim climate leadership while continuing to back fossil fuel projects that exacerbate harm to Pacific and Australian communities. A new report, 'Protecting our Future: Environmental Human Rights Defenders Powering Just Transitions,' highlights how climate change is already impacting human rights in Pacific Island nations like Tuvalu and Kiribati, threatening rights to water, food, health, adequate housing, and a safe future due to rising seas, extreme heat, droughts, and saltwater...

South Africa Targets 100,000 Indian Tourists in 2026 with Visa Reforms and Marketing Push

South Africa Targets 100,000 Indian Tourists in 2026 with Visa Reforms and Marketing Push

South Africa is implementing a strategic initiative to significantly increase Indian tourist arrivals, aiming for over 100,000 visitors in 2026. This target represents a substantial increase from the approximately 70,000 Indian travelers in the previous year. The core of this strategy involves the introduction of an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), a digital visa designed to streamline the application process, reducing it from a previous 10-15 working days to approximately 24 hours. This reform addresses a key barrier to travel identified by South African Tourism. Additionally, efforts are underway to improve air connectivity between India and South Africa, as current routes often require connections through other hubs, which can deter travelers. The country is also planning a robust marketing campaign, particularly focusing on the upcoming 2027 Cricket World Cup, to attract Indian visitors and encourage extended stays to explore the region. This marketing drive will extend beyond major Indian cities...
