Tribes, fishermen slam halt to Alaska-Canada water analysis
Alaska officials and authorities in the Canadian Province of British Columbia have announced they have completed and will not continue data collection on three transboundary watersheds, despite concerns from fishing and tribal interests that the effort does not go far enough. The work stemmed from concerns about possible impacts mining activity in Canada could have on waters that cross into Alaska. A 22-page final report released Thursday culminated two years of data collected from water, sediment and fish tissue from three bodies of water.

German warship to sail through South China Sea, officials say
A German frigate will set sail for Asia in August and, on its return journey, become the first German warship to cross the South China Sea since 2002, senior government officials in Berlin said on Tuesday. China claims almost all the energy-rich waters of the South China Sea, where it has established military outposts on artificial islands. The United States regularly accuses Beijing of militarizing the South China Sea and trying to intimidate Asian neighbours who might want to exploit its extensive oil and gas reserves.

Sunak promises to do 'whatever it takes' to shield the economy
British finance minister Rishi Sunak plans to say in a budget speech on Wednesday that he will do "whatever it takes" to support the economy, and that the task of fixing the public finances will only begin once the country is recovering from the COVID-19 crisis. "We're using the full measure of our fiscal firepower to protect the jobs and livelihoods of the British people," Sunak will say, according to excerpts of the speech to parliament released by the finance ministry on Tuesday. Britain has suffered the biggest COVID-19 death toll in Europe and the heaviest economic shock among big rich countries, according to the headline measures of official data, after shrinking by 10% last year, its worst slump in three centuries.

Metals verified green using blockchain technology
Hovik, Norway, March 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hydro’s customers can now base buying decisions on facts. The blockchain pilot project launched in collaboration with DNV documents product claims for Hydro CIRCAL and Hydro REDUXA. “We see that our customers and their customers request trusted information documenting the footprint from our materials and production. The aim of the pilot is to test a platform that supports manufacturers and brands to back their sustainability claims with verified data. This will allow them to trace the metal from the factory gates until it reaches the customer,” says Bjørn Kjetil Mauritzen, Head of Sustainability in Hydro. The focus on more sustainable products, standards and operations have increased drastically in recent years. With the vast amount of information and various standards, providing access to quality facts that can enable the customers to review products from start to finish is more important than ever. By doing so the customer can make greener purchase decisions based on facts and not just green promises. Tag. Trace. Trust.Hydro will implement the blockchain powered Tag. Trace. Trust. service developed by DNV. It allows anyone to instantly check the validity, data and authenticity of the product’s environmental profile. “In this way, the aluminum product passport, with its unique digital ID, attached to the product displays key sustainability facts such as low-carbon aluminum and post-consumer scrap content,” explains Lin Jacobsen Hammer, Business Development & Sustainability Manager in DNV. From raw material to a park bench In the pilot phase, Hydro and DNV will work together with the renowned outdoor furniture maker Vestre. The company uses Hydro CIRCAL in selected furniture lines. The product data on the platform gives the company and their customer traceability of the aluminium and the CO2 emission from raw material to a finished bench in a public park. The next step is to review the experience from the pilot to assess how Hydro can implement the platform to a standardized model. The goal is to roll-out the platform to more customers. “Ultimately this pilot is made possible through the work we have invested in our greener brands in the past years. As a result, we can now explore how new technology can provide the market and the conscious consumer with key data – presented in a way they understand and trust - as a part of our agenda of driving sustainability,” says Jørgen Hansson, project lead in Hydro. Hydro plans to roll out the pilot in 2021. -END- ****** ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FACT BOXHow could a blockchain-enabled system provide provenance and responsible production claims? A producer can document product quality, environmental impact and sustainability improvements distinctive to their products and make it available in a blockchain-based ecosystem. This creates differentiation in a competitive market increasingly looking for transparency and builds added trust in 3rd party validated sustainability claims. The trustworthiness and security builds on 3 factors: Each certificate or product passport is equipped with a unique digital identity and therefore traceable. Documents equipped with a tag are therefore 100% authentic and unique and safely stored on the blockchain. Anyone can easily trace its origin at source and check authenticity and details on the blockchain. More on Tag. Trace.

Resurgent stock market evokes memories of long-gone bubble on Tokyo's 'Wall Street'
At the almost empty "Wall Street" bar and restaurant in Tokyo's Kayabacho financial district, three groups of patrons dine quietly at tables separated by partitions. The sedate scene is a far cry from the area's heyday 30 years ago when traders flush from big wins on the nearby Tokyo Stock Exchange routinely crowded the restaurant's bar, downing glasses of premium whiskey. Even though Japanese stocks are scaling giddy heights not seen since the asset inflation bubble of the late 1980s and early 1990s, bars and restaurants in the financial district aren't along for the ride.
