One of the success stories highlighted in the report is the mountain village of Toula, which used to run on only three hours of electricity a day, until donors funded a USD 100k, 185-panel solar farm. The village now has 17 hours of consistent electricity. Now businesses are getting in on the act: Spinney\u2019s is investing in solar to cut down its USD 800k-1.4 mn monthly generator bill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE DANGER ZONE- Syria\u2019s 2022 grain crop has been \u201cdecimated\u201d by climate <\/strong><strong>change and conflict<\/strong>, officials from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), tell <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/markets\/commodities\/exclusive-climate-change-conflict-decimate-syrias-grain-crop-un-fao-2022-09-20\/\">Reuters<\/a>.

This year, rainfall started late and fell in untraditional patterns, delaying the start of the planting season.
