Movember!\u00a0 \n\nNo, that isn\u2019t a typo. Well, it is - just an intentional one.\u00a0 \n\nFor those unfamiliar, this is the 20th anniversary of Movember, a charity moustache growing initiative that lasts the month of November. \n\nHeard of Movember and always wanted to give it a try? Do it every year and just love reading about a thing you already participate in? Never come across it before and still pretty sure a subeditor hasn\u2019t corrected my misspelling of November?\u00a0 \n\nWhatever your reasoning, here\u2019s Euronews Culture's definitive guide to Movember. \n\nWhat is Movember? \n\nLet\u2019s start with the basics. Movember is a fundraising movement that raises awareness for men\u2019s health throughout the month of November through people growing the best moustache they can. \n\nIf a movement that has men\u2019s health as its core principle sounds a bit icky, be assured Movember isn\u2019t a hipster-wing of the kind of men\u2019s rights groups that populate the nastier sides of the internet. In fact, Movember is a good example of the opposite attitude to the gross commenters that spring up every International Women\u2019s Day bemoaning a lack of advocacy for men\u2019s mental health. The Movember movement does this by using the fun annual tradition to promote important charities that lean towards men\u2019s issues. \n\nRun by the Movember Foundation , the three causes central to this year\u2019s campaign are: mental health and suicide prevention; prostate cancer; and testicular cancer. \n\nWhile some people think that participating in Movember is exclusively about growing your finest set of whiskers over the month, that\u2019s only a part of it. The Movember Foundation\u2019s chief goals is to raise money for charities relating to those particular causes. \n\nSince its founding in 2003, the Movember Foundation has raised funds for over 1,250 projects across 20 different countries. Instead of the misogynistic whataboutery of internet commentators, Movember is a concerted effort to actually improve the situation of men\u2019s health. Men on average die 4.5 years earlier than women and account for 69% of all suicides. Prostate cancer is the leading cause of cancer in men aged over 45 and testicular cancer is the most common cancer in younger men. Raising awareness for these issues and funding projects to tackle them is at the heart of Movember. \n\nHow did Movember start? \n\nInterestingly there are two origin stories of Movember, both based out of Australia. The first recorded mention of \u201cMovember\u201d comes from a news story in 1999 of a group of men in Adelaide using the month of November to grow moustaches to raise money for charity. An early campaign was raising money for the animal charity the RSPCA with the phrase \u201cgrowing whiskers for whiskers\u201d. \n\nSeparate to the Adelaide trend, in 2003 Travis Garone and Luke Slattery met in a pub in Melbourne and came up with their own version of Movember. Inspired by a friend\u2019s mother fundraising for a breast cancer charity, they got 30 friends involved to pay AUS$10 to grow moustaches in aid of prostate cancer. \n\nAfter Garone and Slattery\u2019s campaign was a success, they formalised the concept with the help of Adam Garone and Justin Coghlan, creating the basis of the Movember Foundation. Their 2004 campaign involved 450 people and raised AUS$54,000 (approx. \u20ac32,000) for Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA), the then-largest single donation in the charity\u2019s history. \n\nThe Movember Foundation was established as an official charity in 2006. In the years since, the movement has grown international interest. It\u2019s now an official partner of PCFA, as well as its sister associations in the US, the UK, Spain, Ireland and more.\u00a0 \n\nToday, the number of participants in Movember since its start in 2003 ranks at nearly 7,000,000.\u00a0 \n\nThey\u2019ve funded projects related to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as Family Man in 2021, an online programme aimed at helping dads to be better parents. \n\nSimilar charities \n\nA big part of Movember\u2019s success is how simple the concept is. Grow a moustache, raise awareness.\u00a0 \n\nAcross history, many charities have employed similar easily identifiable traits to help grow awareness, from the remembrance poppy to commemorate veterans through to the ice bucket challenge that swept the internet to raise awareness for ALS. \n\nOh, and for all those internet commentators still hung up about International Women\u2019s Day, there is also an International Men\u2019s Day. It\u2019s on 19 November, slap bang in the middle of Movember. So if you want to actually raise meaningful awareness of men\u2019s health issues, get growing that \u2018stache! \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Happy Movember!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>No, that isn\u2019t a typo.

An early campaign was raising money for the animal charity the RSPCA with the phrase \u201cgrowing whiskers for whiskers\u201d.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-ease-in-up widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"1\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <img class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////static.euronews.com//articles//stories//08//02//16//88//808x808_cmsv2_743e2fc1-122f-5ebe-b35e-28a9c6bd095c-8021688.jpg/" alt=\"Even the Burger King sported a Movember look in 2017\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/02\/16\/88\/384x384_cmsv2_743e2fc1-122f-5ebe-b35e-28a9c6bd095c-8021688.jpg 384w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/02\/16\/88\/640x640_cmsv2_743e2fc1-122f-5ebe-b35e-28a9c6bd095c-8021688.jpg 640w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/02\/16\/88\/750x750_cmsv2_743e2fc1-122f-5ebe-b35e-28a9c6bd095c-8021688.jpg 750w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/02\/16\/88\/828x828_cmsv2_743e2fc1-122f-5ebe-b35e-28a9c6bd095c-8021688.jpg 828w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/02\/16\/88\/1080x1080_cmsv2_743e2fc1-122f-5ebe-b35e-28a9c6bd095c-8021688.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/02\/16\/88\/1200x1200_cmsv2_743e2fc1-122f-5ebe-b35e-28a9c6bd095c-8021688.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/02\/16\/88\/1920x1920_cmsv2_743e2fc1-122f-5ebe-b35e-28a9c6bd095c-8021688.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 95vw, (max-width: 1024px) 80vw, (max-width: 1280px) 55vw, 728px\"\/>\n <figcaption class=\"widget__caption\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionWrap\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionText\">Even the Burger King sported a Movember look in 2017<\/span>\n <span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">AP Photo<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Separate to the Adelaide trend, in 2003 Travis Garone and Luke Slattery met in a pub in Melbourne and came up with their own version of Movember. Inspired by a friend\u2019s mother fundraising for a breast cancer charity, they got 30 friends involved to pay AUS$10 to grow moustaches in aid of prostate cancer.<\/p>\n<p>After Garone and Slattery\u2019s campaign was a success, they formalised the concept with the help of Adam Garone and Justin Coghlan, creating the basis of the Movember Foundation. Their 2004 campaign involved 450 people and raised AUS$54,000 (approx. \u20ac32,000) for Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA), the then-largest single donation in the charity\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p>The Movember Foundation was established as an official charity in 2006. In the years since, the movement has grown international interest. It\u2019s now an official partner of PCFA, as well as its sister associations in the US, the UK, Spain, Ireland and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Today, the number of participants in Movember since its start in 2003 ranks at nearly 7,000,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve funded projects related to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as Family Man in 2021, an online programme aimed at helping dads to be better parents.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-ease-in-up widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.5625\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <img class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////static.euronews.com//articles//stories//08//02//16//88//808x454_cmsv2_7edcd932-ada4-5cfd-9aae-0bd4f705fb14-8021688.jpg/" alt=\"Check your cherries\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/02\/16\/88\/384x216_cmsv2_7edcd932-ada4-5cfd-9aae-0bd4f705fb14-8021688.jpg 384w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/02\/16\/88\/640x360_cmsv2_7edcd932-ada4-5cfd-9aae-0bd4f705fb14-8021688.jpg 640w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/02\/16\/88\/750x422_cmsv2_7edcd932-ada4-5cfd-9aae-0bd4f705fb14-8021688.jpg 750w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/02\/16\/88\/828x466_cmsv2_7edcd932-ada4-5cfd-9aae-0bd4f705fb14-8021688.jpg 828w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/02\/16\/88\/1080x608_cmsv2_7edcd932-ada4-5cfd-9aae-0bd4f705fb14-8021688.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/02\/16\/88\/1200x675_cmsv2_7edcd932-ada4-5cfd-9aae-0bd4f705fb14-8021688.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/02\/16\/88\/1920x1080_cmsv2_7edcd932-ada4-5cfd-9aae-0bd4f705fb14-8021688.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 95vw, (max-width: 1024px) 80vw, (max-width: 1280px) 55vw, 728px\"\/>\n <figcaption class=\"widget__caption\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionWrap\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionText\">Check your cherries<\/span>\n <span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Canva<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2>Similar charities<\/h2><p>A big part of Movember\u2019s success is how simple the concept is.

most iconic building is celebrating its 50th anniversary. \n\nThe Sydney Opera House, which officially opened on 20 October 1973 after 14 years of construction, is widely regarded as a masterpiece of 20th-century architecture and stands as a symbol of modern Australia.\u00a0 \n\nIn celebration of the building's remarkable milestone, we've curated a collection of intriguing titbits and lesser-known anecdotes that will unveil some of the Opera House's many mysteries and marvels.\u00a0 \n\nQueen Liz's grand opening \n\nThe Sydney Opera House was opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 20 October 1973. \n\nBattling the brisk wind, she beamed at the crowd along Bennelong Point, congratulating them for this \u201cremarkable addition to its architecture and to its cultural and community life.\u201d \n\n\u201cThe human spirit,\u201d she said, \u201cmust sometimes take wings or sails, and create something that is not just utilitarian or commonplace.\u201d \n\nHer Majesty visited the Opera House another four times before her death, the most recent being in 2006.\u00a0 \n\nJ\u00f8rn Utzon's winning vision \n\nIn 1956, the Premier of New South Wales, Joseph Cahill, initiated a competition for the construction of a \"National Opera House at Bennelong Point,\" the site that is now home to the Opera House.\u00a0 \n\nHe extended the invitation to people worldwide, not just Australians, to submit their design concepts. \n\nDanish architect J\u00f8rn Utzon emerged as the winner with his design, selected as the standout from a pool of 223 entries originating from 28 different countries.\u00a0 \n\n\"In it, the judges could see the innovative design, the response to the setting on the beautiful Sydney harbour, and really what this place could be, which is a sculpture, an artwork in itself, to celebrate and house the performing arts,\" says Sydney Opera House Heritage Manager Laura Matarese. \n\nBudget blunders \n\nInitially, the estimated cost for the project was a modest 7 million Australian dollars (\u20ac4.1 million).\u00a0 \n\nUltimately, it soared to a staggering A$102 million (\u20ac61.1 million), with the majority of the funding coming from a state Lottery. \n\nCritics argue that the budget ballooned because it had been underestimated from the start.\u00a0 \n\nMinister of Works Davis Hughes cut funding to Utzon, which led the Danish architect to abandon the project on 28 February 1966 and return to Denmark. \n\nUtzon stated that his resignation resulted from Hughes's refusal to compensate him and the absence of cooperation, which he later characterised as \"Malice in Blunderland.\" \n\nThe task of completing the project was then assumed by the young Australian architect Peter Hall, following consultation with Utzon. \n\nBy numbers \n\nHere's a few stats for all you numbers geeks out there!\u00a0 \n\nThe Sydney Opera House has hosted a remarkable 118,000 performances and sold a staggering 63 million seats since its opening.\u00a0 \n\nIt welcomes nearly 11 million visitors annually and contributes an estimated A$775 million (\u20ac465 million) to the Australian economy through tourism and cultural events each year.\u00a0 \n\nAnd more than 15,000 light bulbs need replacement inside the building each year. \n\nTile-ing the truth \n\nThe Sydney Opera House's renowned sail-shaped roof isn't quite what it appears to be from a distance.\u00a0 \n\nSurprisingly, the iconic roof is not constructed from one solid piece of material but is instead built from more than one million small tiles meticulously arranged in a repeating chevron pattern. \n\nThis intricate tiling serves a crucial purpose, as it is believed to be self-cleaning.\u00a0 \n\nWhen rain falls down through the intricate network of tiles, it's designed to wash away the majority of the grime and debris that accumulates over time. \n\nArnie's surprise comeback shakes the Sydney Opera House \n\nArnold Schwarzenegger, renowned not only for his acting but also for his tenure as the Governor of California, won his final Mr Olympia bodybuilding title in 1980 at the Sydney Opera House. \n\nBut people weren't even expecting the future-Terminator star to be competing and it turned out to be one of the most debated events in bodybuilding history.\u00a0\u00a0 \n\nOn the eve of the contest, Schwarzenegger took everyone by surprise by announcing he was coming out of retirement to compete,\u00a0having trained for only eight weeks prior. \n\nThe bombshell sent competitor Mike Mentzer into a fury, leading to a heated confrontation at a pre-contest press conference. Frank Zane, the defending three-time Mr. Olympia champion and Boyer Coe, also expressed their pity for Schwarzenegger's decision to return, expecting him to tarnish his legendary status with a loss. \n\nWhen Schwarzenegger was announced as the winner, the audience booed, competitors stepped off stage and some retired from the sport in disgust, as the actor clearly lacked his usual size and muscular definition. \n\nThe competition marked the first and only time the event has been held on Australian shores. \n\nA cool Sydney Opera House secret \n\nDid you know that the Sydney Opera House employs an innovative cooling system that harnesses seawater directly from the Sydney harbour?\u00a0 \n\nThe system channels cold water from the harbour through an extensive network of 35 kilometres of pipes to facilitate both the heating and air conditioning within the structure. \n\nThis eco-friendly approach significantly diminishes the building's dependence on electricity, resulting in a reduced overall carbon footprint. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Australia's most iconic building is celebrating its 50th anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>The Sydney Opera House, which officially opened on 20 October 1973

Rosaleen McMeel \n\nIn today's fast-paced landscape of emerging technologies and workplace transformations, tech workers continue to be in high demand, but competition for the best talent remains just as fierce. \n\nAt a recent Tech HR event in Indeed\u2019s London HQ, industry leaders agreed there\u2019s a new opportunity for non-tech name brands and small employers alike to make the most of skilled tech talent. \n\nWhile widespread layoffs hit Big Tech at the beginning of the year, jobs in smaller companies are plentiful, and present an exciting opportunity to be part of big digital transformations taking place across Europe, and in every part of our economy. \n\nHere, some HR leaders reveal some of the ways you can ensure your CV always gets considered. \n\nStand out \n\nEnsuring your cover letter shines in a sea of candidates with similar experience can be difficult. \n\nOutlining your goals and objectives with the company and role is a good starting point, says Amy Hobley, Executive Recruitment Manager at Sopra Steria, a software company that employs 46,000 people worldwide. \n\n\u201cA strong mission statement, what you are looking for, what\u2019s your purpose, what are you hoping to achieve from your next role,\u201d recommends Hobley. \n\n\u201cYou might not have all the experience but if you\u2019re willing to learn, grow, develop and pick up new skills, that sets you a good foundation\u201d. \n\nAdd value \n\nWhile job candidates are focused on measuring up to the skills required for a role, Hobley notes that aligning your values with the companies can also make a big difference when it comes to shortlisting candidates at the interview stage. \n\n \u201cWe always ask how their experience aligns with our values. That tends to bring out what\u2019s important to them. We\u2019re very passionate about culture, empathy and doing the right thing, as well as social values. How we differentiate ourselves in the market against our competitors.

We assume because they are near water, they will be relatively unaffected,\u201d says lead researcher Dr Emily McColl-Gausden, from Melbourne\u2019s Faculty of Science. \n\n\u201cWhile there is more work to do, our research tells us that severe fire followed by intense rain is the worst combination for platypuses.\u201d \n\nHere\u2019s what the first landscape study of its kind tells us about platypuses' response to being under siege from new climate extremes . \n\nWhat does \u2018environmental DNA\u2019 tell us about platypus movements? \n\nPlatypus are shy, scarce and largely nocturnal, so environmental DNA sampling is a useful way of tracking their movements. \n\nThis recent technique involves collecting a creature\u2019s DNA from water, soil, air or snow rather than directly from the animal itself. In the semi-aquatic platypus's case, DNA was taken from the rivers and creeks where they dwell. \n\nResearchers repeatedly sampled 118 sites in Victoria and New South Wales, 57 of which were later affected by the 2019-2020 bushfires. \n\nThis helped them to compare fire-affected areas with non-scorched sites. While taking samples before, six months after, and between 12-18 months after the fires provided data for three different points in time. \n\nAnalysing their DNA in water samples before and after the Black Summer suggests that platypuses are abandoning severely bushfire-burnt areas for up to 18 months after a fire, especially when heavy rainfall rushes in soon after. \n\nWatersheds are areas of land that drain rainwater into a body of water, like platypuses favoured streams and creeks. When there was heavy rainfall across a site's watershed and that watershed experienced high severity fire across a quarter or more of its area, the probability that platypus lived at a site fell to less than 10 per cent, SciDaily reports. \n\nSadly, that indicates that platypuses had died or had abandoned the area.\u202f \n\nWhy is rainfall after fire \u2018the worst\u2019 for platypuses? \n\n\"Fire might not directly kill platypus because their burrows protect them,\u201d explains Dr McColl-Gausden. But when there is rainfall after a fire, as happened in 2019-2020, unstable soil, dead plants and ash and debris can wash into rivers and creeks. \n\nThis kills the yabbies, aquatic invertebrates and insect larvae that platypus rely on for food and may force them to abandon the site. \n\n\u201cWhile the platypus may eventually come back, we don't know the effect of repeated bushfires, whether on their reproduction and life cycle, the survival of their young, on their food security, or on the impact of being forced to move their burrows to more suitable sites,\u201d adds Dr McColl-Gausden. \n\n\u201cWe don't know if the platypus may one day leave the area for good.\"\u202f \n\nAnimal DNA sampling should be part of bushfire season surveillance, scientists say \n\nFire is, to some extent, part of life in Australia , helping to shape animal and plant distributions.

That's our livelihood.\" \n\nHe said Niueans inherited and learned about the ocean from their forefathers and they want to be able to pass it on to the next generation in sustainable health. \n\nMost fishing in Niue is to sustain local people, although there are some small-scale commercial operations and occasional offshore industrial-scale fishing, according to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization. \n\n\"Because of all the illegal fishing and all the other activities at the moment, we thought that we should be taking the lead, to teach others that we've got to protect the ocean, \" Tagelagi added. \n\nThreatened by climate change, pollution and illegal fishing \n\nUnregulated fishing depletes fish stocks which can't then recover while plastics can be ingested by or entangle marine wildlife.\u00a0 \n\nHuman-caused climate change has also led to warmer and more acidic oceans, altering ecosystems for underwater species. \n\nNiue is especially vulnerable to rising sea levels threatening its land and freshwater, and the island is at risk of more intense tropical storms charged by warmer air and waters. \n\nWith a population of just 1,700 people, Niue acknowledges it needs outside help. It's one of the smallest countries in the world, dwarfed by an ocean territory 1,200 times larger than its land mass. \n\nUnder the plan, the sponsorship money - called Ocean Conservation Commitments - will be administered by a charitable trust. \n\nNiue will buy 1,700 sponsorship units, representing one for each of its citizens.\u00a0 \n\nOther launch donors include philanthropist Lyna Lam and her husband Chris Larsen, who co-founded blockchain company Ripple, and US based non-profit Conservation International, which helped set up some technical aspects of the scheme. \n\nWhy has\u00a0Niue chosen this novel approach? \n\nMa\u00ebl Imirizaldu, marine biologist and regional leader with Conservation International and the Blue Nature Alliance, said one problem with the conventional approach to ocean conservation funding was the need for places like Niue to constantly seek new funding on a project by project basis. \n\n\"The main idea was to try and switch that, to change the priority and actually help them have funding so they can plan for the next 10 years, 15 years, 20 years,\" Imirizaldu explains.\u00a0 \n\nSimon Thrush, a professor of marine science at New Zealand's University of Auckland who was not involved in the plan, said it sounded positive. \n\n\"It's a good idea,\" Thrush said, adding that as long as the plan was thoroughly vetted and guaranteed over the long term, \"I'd be up for it.\" \n\n","htmlText":"<p>The tiny Pacific island nation of Niue has come up with a novel plan to protect its vast and pristine territorial waters - it will get sponsors to pay. <\/p>\n<p>Under the plan, which was being launched by Niue's Premier Dalton Tagelagi on Tuesday in New York, individuals or companies can pay $148 (\u20ac139) to protect 1 square kilometre of ocean from threats such as <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2022//10//27//ocean-calls-podcast-inside-the-murky-world-of-illegal-fishing/">illegal fishing<\/strong><\/a> and plastic waste for a period of 20 years.<\/p>\n<p>Niue hopes to raise more than $18 million (\u20ac17 million) from the scheme by selling 127,000 square-kilometre units, representing the 40 per cent of its waters that form a no-take marine protected area.<\/p>\n<div\n data-stories-id=\"7660966,7894960\"\n data-event=\"widget_related\"\n class=\"widget widget--type-related widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <ul class=\"widget__related_list\"><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2023//09//14//the-patient-is-sick-human-activity-is-putting-earths-life-support-systems-at-risk/">/u2018The patient is sick\u2019: Human activity is putting Earth\u2019s life support systems at risk<\/a> <\/li><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2023//08//08//vaquita-are-survivors-worlds-rarest-marine-mammal-clings-on-at-the-edge-of-extinction/">/u2018We can\u2019t stop now\u2019: Baby vaquita gives hope for species, but extinction \u2018inevitable\u2019 unless nets go<\/a> <\/li><\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2>Niue wants to protect the ocean for future generations<\/h2><p>In an interview with The Associated Press before the launch, Tagelagi said his people have always had a close connection with the sea.<\/p>\n<p>\"Niue is just one island in the middle of the big blue ocean,\" Tagelagi explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\"We are surrounded by the ocean, and we live off the ocean.

The Bahamas, Niue, Palau, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Vanuatu are also part of this coalition. \n\nCOSIS will argue that most countries are obliged to protect the marine environment under the UN convention on the Law of the Sea - including from greenhouse gas emissions. \n\nAs one of the world\u2019s largest carbon sinks , the ocean absorbs 25 per cent of all CO2 emissions and captures 90 per cent of the excess heat generated by these emissions. It also generates 50 per cent of the planet\u2019s oxygen. \n\nExcessive carbon pollution causes harmful chemical reactions such as acidification and coral bleaching , and jeopardises the ocean\u2019s ability to absorb CO2 and safeguard life on Earth. \n\nLow-lying island states like Tuvalu and Vanuatu are also at risk of becoming submerged by water by the end of the century due to slow-onset climate impacts. \n\n\u201cExtreme weather events, which grow in number and intensity with each passing year, are killing our people and destroying our infrastructure,\u201d Tuvalu\u2019s Prime Minister Kausea Natano adds to the litany of adverse climate impacts. \n\nThis is despite small island developing states (SIDS) being collectively responsible for less than 1 per cent of global carbon emissions. \n\nWhat will happen if COSIS succeeds in its climate case? \n\nAfter the two-day hearing, the tribunal will issue an advisory opinion. This is not legally binding, but offers an authoritative statement on legal matters that could guide countries as they craft climate protection law. \n\nIf successful, the case will extend countries\u2019 obligations under the UN convention to include carbon-emission reduction and protection of marine environments already hit by CO2 pollution. \n\n\u201cWe come here seeking urgent help, in the strong belief that international law is an essential mechanism for correcting the manifest injustice that our people are suffering as a result of climate change,\u201d adds Tuvalu\u2019s Natano. \n\n\u201cWe are confident that international courts and tribunals will not allow this injustice to continue unchecked.\u201d \n\nSmall island nations have also sought legal clarity on nations' climate obligations in other courts. \n\nVanuatu led a campaign to ask the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to issue an advisory opinion on countries' obligations to address climate change. \n\nThe UN General Assembly in March voted to refer the case to the ICJ, which will issue an opinion in 2024. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>A group of small island nations threatened by rising sea levels are taking on high-emitting countries in a landmark hearing in Hamburg, Germany today.<\/p>\n<p>The prime ministers of Tuvalu and Antigua and Barbuda are among those giving evidence at the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), in what is considered to be the first climate justice case centred on the ocean.<\/p>\n<p>The international court will consider whether <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2023//09//07//african-leaders-back-call-for-global-carbon-tax-on-fossil-fuels-shipping-and-flights/">carbon emissions<\/strong><\/a> absorbed by the sea should be considered marine pollution, and what obligations nations have to protect the marine environment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-quotation\n widget--size-fullwidth\n widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__content\">\n <blockquote class=\"widget__quote\">\n <span class=\"widget__quoteText\">Climate change may prevent my children and grandchildren from living on the island of their ancestors.<\/span>\n <\/blockquote>\n <cite class=\"widget__author\">\n <\/cite>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cWithout rapid and ambitious action, climate change may prevent my children and grandchildren from living on the island of their ancestors, the island that we call home.

consumer watchdog has called for Qantas Airways to be punished with a record fine for allegedly selling tickets on thousands of flights that had already been canceled. \n\nQantas cancelled 1-in-4 flights between May and July last year. \n\nThe Australian Competition and Consumer Commission filed a lawsuit against the flagship carrier in the Federal Court on Thursday, alleging the airline engaged in false, misleading or deceptive conduct by advertising tickets for more than 8,000 flights during this period that had already been cancelled but not removed from sale. \n\nACCC chair Gina Cass-Gottlieb said Qantas\u2019 penalty for allegedly breaching consumer law should be more than double the Australian record 125 million Australian dollar (\u20ac74 million) fine imposed on the Volkswagen Group in 2019 for misleading customers about the level of exhaust emissions from its diesel engines. \n\n\n\u201cWe consider that this should be a record penalty for this conduct,\u201d Cass-Gottieb told Australian Broadcasting Corp.\u00a0 \n\n\u201cWe are going to seek a penalty that will underline that this is not just to be a cost of doing business. \n\n\n\u201cWe consider these penalties to have been too low. We think the penalties should be in hundreds of million, not tens of million ,\u201d she added. \n\nWhy is the ACCC taking Qantas to court? \n\nQantas kept selling tickets on average for more than two weeks after flights were canceled and in some cases up to 47 days, the commission said. \n\n\nCustomers who bought tickets before flights were canceled were informed on average 18 days after the cancellations and in some cases 48 days later. \n\nThe result was that customers were left with less time to make alternative bookings and may have paid higher prices to fly at a particular time. \n\nIn one case, Qantas sold 21 tickets for a July 29, 2022, service from Sydney to San Francisco up to 40 days after that flight was cancelled, the commission said. \n\nQantas said it would respond in full to the commission\u2019s allegations in court. \n\n\u201cWe have a longstanding approach to managing cancellations for flights, with a focus on providing customers with rebooking options or refunds .

Three of those players are on this World Cup team, and Vilda a day before the game against Sweden praised the Spanish federation for its support. \n\nNow, La Roja has a chance to become a first-time World Cup champion. \n\nRanked seventh in the world by FIFA, Spain's defeat of second-ranked Sweden makes it the highest-ranked team remaining in the tournament. \n\n\u201cThis is a historic day,\u201d said Vilda. \u201cWe\u2019re in the final, that\u2019s what we wanted.\u201d \n\nSweden has now lost in four of five semifinals and will play try to finish third for a fourth time. \n\nCarmona's goal capped a flurry of late scoring that saw Sweden tie the game, then Spain win it 90 seconds later on the surprise score. \n\nSalma Paralluelo, the 19-year-old super-sub who also scored the game-winner in Spain\u2019s 2-1 extra-time quarterfinals victory over the Netherlands, scored in the 81st minute to break a scoreless game. She gestured for the crowd to cheer, and the crowd thought it was celebrating Spain's decider. \n\nBut the celebration was brief. Rebecca Blomqvist tied it for Sweden in the 88th. \n\nThen, just 90 seconds later, Carmona beat Sweden goalkeeper Zecira Musovic with the game-winner. \n\n\u201cIt was a very tough game. It could\u2019ve been difficult to recover from their goal, but we\u2019ve shown that his team can deal with everything.\u201d said Paralluelo. \u201cWe deserved this. We took this little step, and now we need that final push.\" \n\nThe Swedes have never won a World Cup. They were the 2003 runner-up and have finished third three times. Sweden won silver medals at the Tokyo Olympics two years ago, and at the 2016 Games in Brazil. \n\nSpain is playing in only its third overall World Cup. Four years ago, La Roja advanced to the knockout round but lost to eventual champions the United States. \n\n\u201cNow it\u2019s the final. I think we have to do what we\u2019ve done in every match,\" said Paralluelo. \"We\u2019ve overcome every challenge and now we face the ultimate challenge, the big one\u201d \n\nSpain dominated possession and had the better chances in the first half. Carmona\u2019s blast from the top of the box was a low shot went just wide. Sweden\u2019s defense, which had allowed just two goals in the tournament, held. \n\n\nPutellas nutmegged Filippa Angeldal before delivering a cross in the 35th minute but Magdalena Eriksson was there to clear it away. \n\nSpain goalkeeper Cata Coll dove to save Fridolina Rolfo\u2019s shot late in the half, then punched the ball away on a corner kick to keep the game scoreless at the half. \n\nSweden had energy to start the second half but Spain still had chances. Paralleulo\u2019s header in the 63rd minute sailed over the goal. \n\nAlba Redondo was on the ground in front of the goal but got a foot on the ball and appeared to score in the 71st minute, but she was just wide and the ball was caught up in the side netting. \n\nThere were a few tense moments when Paralluelo\u2019s goal was checked by video review, but the goal was awarded. \n\nThere were 43,217 fans on hand for the match at Auckland\u2019s Eden Park. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Spain will play for its first Women's World Cup championship after Olga Carmona's goal in the 89th minute lifted La Roja to a 2-1 victory over Sweden in the Tuesday semifinal.<\/p>\n<p>Spain, which overcame last year's near mutiny by its players against coach Jorge Vilda, will play the winner of tournament co-host Australia and England on Sunday in the final in Sydney.<\/p>\n<p>The controversy surrounding Spain dates to last September, when 15 players signed a letter complaining about Vilda and the conditions for the national team.

Rebecca Blomqvist tied it for Sweden in the 88th.<\/p>\n<p>Then, just 90 seconds later, Carmona beat Sweden goalkeeper Zecira Musovic with the game-winner.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.6669921875\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <img class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////static.euronews.com//articles//stories//07//82//36//44//808x539_cmsv2_6f389198-1bc1-50da-8687-f86499b02678-7823644.jpg/" alt=\"Alessandra Tarantino\/Copyright 2023 The AP.

And it\u2019s not alone in seeing a rise in demand from travellers eager to lean into the origins, culture, and traditions of a destination. \n\nWhat is Indigenous-led tourism, and why is it growing? \n\n\u201cThe pandemic has made everyone more aware of the impact travelling can have on destinations and communities,\u201d reflects Sara King, Intrepid\u2019s general manager of purpose. \n\n\u201cThere\u2019s also a growing awareness of Indigenous history in a lot of countries, which is sparking a curiosity in travellers.\u201d \n\nCentring the perspective of these communities is what separates an authentic and fair tourism experience from a shallow and potentially exploitative one. \n\n\u2018Black cladding\u2019, explains King, describes the way some less scrupulous operators position themselves as a First Nations business, without a significant number of First Nations people in management or ownership. They also fail to provide financial contributions to the communities they operate in. \n\n\u201cTo avoid black cladding, do your homework on the businesses and experiences that you visit,\u201d she advises. \n\nThe Travel Corporation (TTC), an umbrella organisation of nearly 30 brands, is also trying to cater to the growing demand for Indigenous-led tourism in a sustainable way. \n\n\u201cWe know our guests are looking for more insightful and meaningful cultural immersion, and we want to connect them to Indigenous people with sensitivity and impact,\u201d says Shannon Guihan, Chief Sustainability Officer and Head of TreadRight, a non-profit within TTC. \n\nIt has cultivated a series of \u2018Make Travel Matter\u2019 experiences that further the UN\u2019s sustainable development goals - many of which are geared around community. \n\n\u201cPreserving and reclaiming culture, as well as providing economic and social benefits to Indigenous people, are integral parts of this,\u201d adds Guihan. \n\nHow can Indigenous-led tourism benefit people and nature? \n\nBefore building its trips, Intrepid consults with Indigenous communities - seeking permission from elders on what stories and practices they are happy to share. \n\nIt also works with communities to help them develop their tourism infrastructure with actions like providing training to business owners. Managed well, the economic impact of tourist groups can help these communities to stand firm in an ever-changing world. \n\n\u201cIn Australia, we generated over $550,000 AUD (around \u20ac327,000) of revenue in 2022 for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses and organisations via procurement, supporting their services and including experiences our trips,\u201d says King. \n\nAs stewards of the world\u2019s biodiversity, it makes sense that supporting Indigenous peoples helps shore up the land and nature they care for. \n\nTravellers can see this first-hand on some of Intrepid\u2019s trips - for example on a visit to the Maleku community in Costa Rica . Here, King says, \u201cthe tribe are passionate about reforestation and are working to regenerate their area by planting trees and encouraging fauna back to the area.\u201d \n\nIn Victoria, Australia, the travel company consulted First Nations people on a tour guide programme which resulted in the creation of the \u201cwawa biik\u201d (\u2018Hello Country\u2019) business. \n\nOne of their tours is at the Euroa Arboretum - a former depot site for road works that has been regenerated into wood and wetland, with walking tracks and an Indigenous plant nursery. \n\nInterested? Here are some Indigenous-led experiences \n\nGreat Ocean Road, Australia \n\nNew for 2023, Intrepid\u2019s \u2018Great Ocean Road and Grampians Adventure\u2019 familiarises travellers with the history of Budj Bim Cultural Landscape. \n\nFirst Nations guides retell the history of how their ancestors created one of the earliest aquaculture ventures here - designed to harvest kooyang (short-finned eel). \n\nVisitors finish the day with bush tucker like grilled kooyang and macadamia nuts, pickled vegetables, kangaroo, emu, and other local foods.\u202f\u202f \n\nT\u00e9rraba River, Costa Rica \n\nIntrepid\u2019s \u2018Best of Costa Rica \u2019 trip introduces you to the small Indigenous community of the T\u00e9rraba, who live on the banks of the Terraba River. \n\nThe community consider themselves matriarchal where women are the teachers and responsible for passing information down through generations. \n\nTravellers meet with the community and learn how they\u2019ve lived off the land for more than 500 years, carve their own wooden masks and tuck into a home-cooked lunch. \n\nSigatoga River, Fiji \n\nFiji is a beautiful island nation comprising 333 islands in the South Pacific with a mostly Indigenous population. \n\nOn Fiji\u2019 s largest island, Viti Levu, the Sigatoga River runs from the hills of the Navosa Province down to the sand dunes in Kulukulu, on the famous Coral Coast. A Sigatoga River Safari is the perfect way to explore its immense interior, while getting a glimpse into village life. \n\nThe boat stops to take groups into one of 18 local i'Taukei villages (on rotation). Sometimes visitors are invited into the Chief\u2019s house or community hall for a traditional kava ceremony and a yaqona (Fijiian drink) tasting. \n\nPart of the ticketed tour price goes directly back to the villages to help them with various projects such as electrification, telecommunications, education and health initiatives. \n\nKenya and Tanzania, East Africa \n\nAnother new Intrepid trip called \u2018East Africa Highlights\u2019, connects tourists with the Hadzabe culture in Lake Eyasi, Tanzania, which has been home to the Hadzabe people for more than 10,000 years. \n\nTravellers get an insight into this ancient culture and a chance to learn about their way of life by meeting members of the community and joining in on daily activities like hunting, gathering and traditional dance. \n\nYou can also learn about their unique language, which is thought to be one of the oldest still in use today. \n\nAs part of the same trip, you\u2019ll stop in Loita Hills, a remote region that's home to the traditional Maasai people in Kenya.
