Between August 22 and 24, the state recorded a staggering 2.6k fires, pushing the year-to-date total to 4.9k \u2014 an all-time high since records began in 1998, according to INPE data. Other regions, such as Mato Grosso and Para, are also grappling with significant fire outbreaks due to dry conditions and above-average temperatures. In response, Sao Paulo Governor Tarcisio de Freitas has deployed an aircraft and over 7.3k personnel, including professionals and volunteers, to extinguish the fires and provide assistance to residents. The fires have impacted critical areas, including a sugar-cane field near Ra\u00edzen SA\u2019s Santa Elisa mill, where flames damaged equipment and biomass stocks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The story made headlines in the international press over the weekend:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/americas\/wildfires-affecting-30-cities-brazils-sao-paulo-state-leave-2-dead-2024-08-24\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/brazil-wildfires-sao-paulo-state-2accfbff3f1a3c353e0e854ef4b2ccb2\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">AP<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-08-24\/brazil-s-sao-paulo-state-burns-amid-record-number-of-wildfires\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cze56wn278zo\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">BBC<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/brazil-authorities-declare-war-on-blazing-wildfires\/a-70045441\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Deutsche Welle<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/article\/2024\/aug\/22\/brazil-sends-1400-firefighters-to-the-amazon-amid-devastating-blazes\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">The Guardian<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/International\/wireStory\/wildfires-brazil-leave-2-dead-sao-paulo-sate-113126582\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">ABC<\/a> <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/uae\/en\/user\/news-letters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2024\/8\/2043.jpg?ssl=1\"\/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">WATCH THIS SPACE-<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong><a id=\"wwtt1\"><\/a>#1- The hunt for c<\/strong><strong>ritical <\/strong><strong>minerals is restoring interest in African rail: <\/strong>Southern Africa's railways are experiencing a revival, attracting bns of USD in investment to secure copper supplies essential for the energy transition, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-08-24\/scramble-for-critical-minerals-spurs-an-african-rail-revival?srnd=all\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a> reported on Saturday. From Angola to Tanzania, governments and investors are revitalizing old rail lines and building new ones. The central African Copperbelt, shared by Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, is at the heart of this logistics boom. The region's railways, neglected for years, are now seen as crucial for facilitating exports, with the US, EU, and China showing significant interest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A spike in investments:<\/strong> The growing interest was seen during the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sararailconference.com\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Southern African Railways<\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sararailconference.com\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Association's annual conference<\/a> in Johannesburg this week. The event saw the loading of the first copper shipment from Congo to the US via the Lobito Atlantic Railway which is backed by the US through a USD 553 mn development finance. Zambia also hopes to seal a USD 1 bn refurbishment agreement next month with China for its rail line to the Tanzanian port of Dar es Salaam, while South Africa's Transnet received a USD 1 bn loan from the African Development Bank for rail recovery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But there are challenges ahead:<\/strong> Years of neglect have left a USD 10 bn maintenance backlog, with only 7% of cargo currently traveling by rail, according to analysts.

The index ranks countries based on their efforts to combat climate change and assesses their emissions, energy use, policies, and renewables development. Morocco was <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ccpi.org\/country\/mar\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">rated medium<\/a> for renewable energy development and climate policy, but received a high rating for greenhouse gas emissions and energy use criteria. Despite the drop in ranking, Morocco was still among the 10 top high-performing countries included in the index due to its low GHG emissions and pathway to more energy efficiency as well as renewable energy production growth. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>It\u2019s not all positive: <\/strong>Morocco remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels which account for the majority of the North African country\u2019s energy consumption, according to the CCPI\u2019s country experts assessment. They also questioned Morocco\u2019s exploration of domestic oil and gas resources despite hailing a growing share of renewable energy in the energy mix. They also pointed out that energy prices remain high with the country not yet subsidizing solar energy. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>How can Morocco move up ranks? <\/strong>Morocco should focus on fossil fuel-phase out policies and ensure that both utility-scale and small-scale solar and wind projects adhere to strict social and environmental guidelines, the experts said. They also stressed the necessity of subsidizing solar energy in the country and installing drip irrigation systems and solar pumps to cut down on water wastage and use of fuel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>How other MENA countries fare<\/strong><strong>d: <\/strong>Egypt\u2019s ranking <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ccpi.org\/country\/egy\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">was also down<\/a> to 22 in 2024 from 20 a year earlier due to low and very low ratings in climate policy and renewable energy.
