Gender inequality coupled with the climate crisis is one of
the greatest challenges of our time. It poses threats to ways of
life, livelihoods, health, safety and security for women and girls
around the world.
It is important to acknowledge that the climate crisis is not
“gender neutral”. Across the world, women depend more on, yet
have less access to, natural resources. In many regions, women
bear a disproportionate responsibility for securing food, water,
and fuel. Agriculture is the most important employment sector
for women in low- and lower-middle income countries. During
periods of drought and erratic rainfall, women, as agricultural
workers and primary procurers, work harder to secure income
and resources for their families. This puts added pressure on
girls, who often have to leave school to help their mothers
manage the increased burden.
Climate change is a “threat multiplier”, meaning it
escalates social, political and economic tensions in fragile and
conflict-affected settings. As climate change drives conflict
across the world, women and girls face increased vulnerabilities
to all forms of gender-based violence, including conflict-related
sexual violence, human trafficking, child marriage, and other
forms of violence.

change are interconnected. Explainer (adapted).

Israel and the Palestinian territories are among the most
climate vulnerable places on the planet. Whereas worldwide
temperatures have increased by an average of 1.1 °C (1.9 °F)
since pre-industrial times, in Israel and the surrounding areas,
average temperatures have risen by 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) between 1950
and 2017, with a forecasted increase of 4 °C (7.2 °F) by the end
of the century. Meanwhile, rising sea levels — projected by
Israel’s Environment Ministry to be as high as a meter by 2050,
according to a new investigative report by Haaretz newspaper —
threaten to obliterate Israel’s famed beaches, damage its
desalination plants and undermine the sewage and drainage
systems of many coastal cities. In the densely populated Gaza
strip, where 2.1 million Palestinians are crammed into 365 square
km (141 sq. mi.), sea level rise means a loss of precious real
estate as well as saltwater intrusion into an already overtaxed
aquifer.
In an arid region already threatened by desertification and
declining precipitation, one would think that the looming climate
catastrophe would catalyze a powerful climate movement.
Instead, the whole thing is largely an afterthought. In Israel and
the Palestinian territories the threat is both existential and more
acute. In this contested land, climate action is hamstrung by zerosum battles over territorial, political and historic rights, even as a
warming climate exacerbates those tensions.

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3” does something few movies
have ever done: it tells a compassionate story about testing on
animals to a Marvel-size audience. The film features gorgeously
animated animals who take moviegoers on an emotional rollercoaster while exposing the evils of animal testing. The strength
of James Gunn’s screenplay lies in the fact that it doesn’t back
away from the tough subject matter, and we’re thrilled by a
story about having empathy for all animals. For his compelling
portrayal of Rocket and for reminding moviegoers that animals
tortured in laboratories are not the numbers tattooed on them,
PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is honoring
Gunn with the “Not a Number” Award.

Inglês
Netflix’s “Wednesday” draws many real-world parallels. It features unusual creatures (werewolves and psychics) collectively
referred to as Outcasts, while they refer to non-supernatural
humans as Normies. The Outcasts are stand-ins for anyone
othered by society, such as indigenous people, People of
Color, the LGBT+, and the neurodivergent. Every so often, the
Normies’ distrust in the Outcasts boils over into hatred and
violence, and the othering and dehumanization normalizes
violence against the Outcasts in day-to-day life. In the show, the
town’s colonial era saw Outcasts not only being “othered”, but
also murdered by Pilgrims. These acts of butchery were all but
erased from their history books. It’s a distressingly familiar story.

O texto a seguir é parte de uma chamada para publicação de
artigos em uma edição especial da revista Nature.
The environmental and ethical implications of traditional livestock rearing, combined with an increasing global population and demand for protein-rich nutrition, has led to investments in alternative protein research. One emerging approach is cellular agriculture, in which traditional ‘meat’ tissues, such as muscle and fat cells from cows, chicken and fish, or alternative protein sources, such as algae, are cultivated under controlled laboratory conditions. However, the optimisation of these protocols is highly dependent on cell types, and further development is required to make cellular agriculture an economically viable alternative to traditional sources of protein. This special issue welcomes research on improvements to cellular agriculture protocols to maximize sustainable protein production.

Leia o texto para responder à questão.
Daters are astonished by the high prices of wining and
dining a romantic interest with inflation at its highest rate
in over 40 years. The consumer price index category for
food away from home rose 7.7% in June 2022 from a year
earlier, while full-service restaurants climbed 8.9%. For those
testing the waters with a cocktail or two, prices for alcoholic
beverages rose by 4%.
Those searching for love say they’re feeling the pain.
Among 3,000 users on the popular dating app Hinge, almost
41% said they were more concerned with the cost of dates
now versus a year ago, with Generation Z respondents more
likely to feel the pressure. Emily Derby, a 27-year-old in Tulsa,
Oklahoma, said her dating costs have doubled from $200 to
$400 a month.
As costs escalate, some singles are scaling back and
being more selective about the dates they’re going on, while
others are pausing their search for “the one” entirely. On dating
site OKCupid, 34% of 70,000 users reported that inflation was
impacting their love life.
“In the fall of 2020, I was going on dates left and right
not really thinking about the costs,” said Seth Rosenberg, a
25-year-old in Philadelphia. “Now, it’s harder to be excited
because if a date goes bad, you’re out anywhere from $50
to $100.”
Those still in the dating game have both love and money
on the mind. New York City-based dating coach Amy Nobile
said even her wealthy clients, many of whom pay $15,000 for
a four-month program, are trying to cut their dating costs in
half. Clients who would typically spend as much as $150 on a
date are seeing if they can get away with $75 or less.
“People are feeling rising prices,” she said. “For those in
the long game to find a partner, they feel like they really need
to monitor their money flow in the dating world.” As a result,
people are on the hunt for less expensive options, said Logan
Ury, director of relationship science at Hinge.
