Good morning, ladies and gents. <\/strong>We\u2019re rolling into the weekend with a packed issue full of climate updates from all over the region. Let\u2019s dive right in.<\/p>\n

THE BIG CLIMATE STORY- <\/strong>A consortium comprising French waste and water management company Veolia, Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund ADQ, and Saudi investment powerhorse Vision Invest has reached financial close for the acquisition of two hazardous industrial waste treatments plants in the UAE.<\/p>\n

^^ <\/strong>We have the details on this story and much more in the news well, below.<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE BIG CLIMATE STORY OUTSIDE THE REGION- Pakistan, India brace for Biparjoy<\/strong> cyclone:<\/strong> Roads along areas on India\u2019s western coast are forecast to be flooded, with damage expected for houses and crops when the \u201cextremely severe\u201d Biparjoy cyclone hits later today, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) said yesterday<\/a>. The storm is currently situated in the Arabian Sea approximately 280 km from Gujarat\u2019s Jakhau Port and 340 km away from Pakistan\u2019s Karachi, IMD said. Gujarat has already been seeing an increased intensity of rainfall and wind speed, with heavy rainfall expected in some areas today, according to an IMD official. \u201cThe cyclone would create tidal waves of 2 to 3 meters and at the same there would be heavy rainfall. This will cause flooding in low-lying areas,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n

While currently not under immediate threat, emergency measures have been taken in the<\/strong> 20 mn strong Karachi <\/strong>to face winds and rain accompanying the cyclone, Pakistan\u2019s Climate Change Minister Sherry Rehman said. Concerns over Biparjoy\u2019s repercussions come as tens of thousands residing in coastal areas and high risk districts in the two countries have been evacuated in the past days. This year\u2019s first severe cyclone for the two countries comes as the region continues to see climate-driven extreme weather conditions.<\/p>\n
