Need to excercise caution against spread of seasonal viruses, mainly JN.1 Covid strain (Daghfous)


It is necessary to excercise caution against the spread of seasonal viruses, mainly the JN.1 Covid strain which the World Health Organisation called a ‘variant of interest,, said Dr. Riadh Daghfous, the Director of the National Pharmacovigilance Centre and member of the Scientific Committee to fight the coronavirus.

” The new variant was not detected in Tunisia so far,” Daghfous told TAP. Many cases had been reported across the world since last summer.

There is need to monitor this latest subvariant as it is spreading quickly, Daghfous said, with such symptoms as fever, headache, fatigue, asthenia and cough.

The pandemic is not over yet and it is imperative to comply with preventive measures, particularly at this end-of-year period,

Parents are urged to abide by preventive measures to protct babies under two years of age with bronchiolitis which has largely spread recently in Tunisia with several of hospitalisations nd intensive care admissions reported.

Le Forum sur les Minéraux du Futur fait progresser le débat mondial sur la transition vers une énergie propre

De nouveaux partenariats pour orienter les conversations sur le développement durable de l’industrie mondiale des métaux et des minéraux lors du Forum sur les Minéraux du Futur 2024

RIYAD, Arabie saoudite, 27 déc. 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Le Forum sur les Minéraux du Futur (ou FMF) qui doit se tenir du 9 au 11 janvier à Riyad, en Arabie saoudite, annonce aujourd’hui la conclusion de trois nouveaux partenariats stratégiques pour alimenter le discours mondial sur les minéraux et leur rôle essentiel dans le développement mondial durable, et aborder la nécessité d’une transition vers de nouvelles sources d’énergie. Les nouveaux partenariats avec CRU Group, Global AI et Wood Mackenzie fourniront des éclairages et des perspectives commerciales à travers une série d’études qui seront publiées en amont de l’événement. Ils complètent les actuels partenariats avec McKinsey & Company, le Payne Institute for Public Policy, Clareo-DPI et l’Institut Baker.

Wood Mackenzie se lance dans une étude cruciale pour définir le potentiel de la super région. Son livre blanc identifiera les principaux moteurs de la création de chaînes de valeur durables, et mettra en évidence les défis actuels des minéraux à l’échelle mondiale et leurs effets sur l’industrie des minéraux dans cette région riche en ressources. En jetant les bases de ce qui peut être réalisé grâce à la collaboration entre les gouvernements et les marchés, ce rapport servira de fondement pour les parties prenantes, à l’heure où la région cherche à libérer son potentiel de ressources pour mieux faciliter la transition énergétique.

Global AI amorce une analyse d’opinion globale axée sur les opérations minières et minérales de la super région au moyen d’une intelligence artificielle de pointe. Cette analyse vise à mettre en lumière les perceptions sociétales afin d’alimenter le dialogue à propos des rôles à jouer par les gouvernements, le secteur privé et la société civile pour obtenir un permis social d’exploitation, tout en veillant à ce que les opérations minières apportent des avantages tangibles aux communautés locales et minimisent l’impact environnemental.

Par ailleurs, le rapport de la société CRU soulignera l’urgence de s’attaquer aux goulets d’étranglement du secteur minier pour atteindre les objectifs climatiques, en mettant l’accent sur le Moyen-Orient, l’Afrique et l’Asie centrale en tant que futurs fournisseurs clés.

L’ensemble de ces informations s’inscrit dans la mission du FMF, consistant à favoriser le développement d’une industrie minière durable, à placer la super région au premier plan du débat mondial sur les minéraux et à concevoir des pratiques minières responsables. En tant que plateforme gouvernementale et multipartite, le FMF vise à déclencher le dialogue entre les leaders de l’industrie, les décideurs politiques et les parties prenantes pour dessiner un avenir plus durable et plus prospère en matière de développement minéral.

O Future Minerals Forum amplia o debate global sobre a transição para a energia limpa

Novas parcerias para orientar as conversas sobre desenvolvimento sustentável em metais e minerais globais no Future Minerals Forum 2024

RIAD, Arábia Saudita, Dec. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — O Future Minerals Forum (FMF), previsto para ocorrer de 9 a 11 de janeiro, em Riad, na Arábia Saudita, anunciou hoje três novas parcerias estratégicas para promover o discurso global sobre minerais e seu papel fundamental no desenvolvimento global sustentável e na necessidade de transição para novas fontes de energia. As novas parcerias com o CRU Group, a Global AI e a Wood Mackenzie fornecerão inteligência de negócios e insights em uma série de estudos a serem publicados antes da realização do FMF. Elas complementam as parcerias atuais com a McKinsey & Company, o Payne Institute for Public Policy, a Clareo-DPI e o Baker Institute.

A Wood Mackenzie está iniciando um estudo fundamental para identificar o potencial da Super Região. O documento identificará os principais motivadores para a criação de cadeias de valor sustentáveis, além de salientar os desafios atuais enfrentados pelos minerais globais e como eles impactam o setor de minerais nessa área rica em recursos. Esse relatório servirá como um guia essencial para as partes interessadas, estabelecendo o que pode ser alcançado por meio da colaboração governamental e de mercado, à medida que a região procura desbloquear seu potencial de recursos para viabilizar ainda mais a transição energética.

A Global AI está pronta para fazer uma análise abrangente do sentimento global usando inteligência artificial de última geração, com foco em operações de mineração e minerais em toda a Super Região. Essa análise tem como objetivo esclarecer a percepção da sociedade para subsidiar o diálogo acerca dos papéis que os governos, o setor privado e a sociedade civil devem desempenhar a fim de garantir a licença social para atuar, assegurando que as operações de mineração tragam benefícios tangíveis às comunidades locais e minimizem o impacto sobre o meio ambiente.

Enquanto isso, o relatório do CRU destacará a urgência de abordar os gargalos minerais críticos no cumprimento das metas climáticas, com foco no Oriente Médio, na África e na Ásia Central como importantes fornecedores futuros.

Juntas, esses insights se alinham à missão do FMF de permitir o desenvolvimento de setores minerais sustentáveis, colocar a Super Região na vanguarda do debate global sobre minerais e orientar práticas de mineração responsáveis. O FMF, como uma plataforma governamental composta por várias partes interessadas, tem como objetivo catalisar o diálogo entre líderes do setor, legisladores e partes interessadas para promover o progresso na direção de um futuro mais sustentável e próspero com relação ao desenvolvimento mineral.
