Matt and Nick have a massive episode today and start by talking about Switzerland being held liable for human rights violations (Switzerland’s Climate Shortfalls Violate Human Rights, European Court Rules),

The EPA strengthening its regulations on chemical manufacturers (New EPA rules for about 200 US chemical manufacturers take aim at ‘cancer alleys’),

The EPA tightening its requirements for removing PFAS from drinking water (EPA sets new limits for 'forever chemicals' in drinking water),

The U.S. still funding and expanding highways (As some countries spurn cars, the U.S. continues to embrace highways),

Sand dams in Kenya to retain water (Kenyans build sand dams on seasonal rivers to retain water for dry seasons),

Expanding natural farming practices in India (Farmers in India are hit hard by extreme weather. Some say expanding natural farming is the answer),

Angola’s push for more solar (Angola makes a huge investment in solar),

Deforestation impacting rainforests globally (Global rainforest loss continues at rate of 10 football pitches a minute | Deforestation),

An effort to restore swathes of rainforests in Peru (Amazon rainforest in Peru, ravaged by gold mining, is being restored),

And deforestation down in Colombia's Amazon (Colombia Amazon deforestation forecast down 25% to 35% last year, ministry says)!
