ALT White text on purple background with white University of Manchester and Policy@Manchester logos at the top. Text is a quote from Dr Christopher Kinally and Dr Alejandro Gallego Schmid's article and reads:"Current waste management practices for the lead-acid batteries used in these technologies were found to release kilograms of lead pollution: the equivalent of more than 100 times the lethal oral dose of lead released from one battery. "
Solar electrification #SDG7 is driving lead pollution in Africa: one solar battery can release the equivalent of 100 lethal oral doses of lead. Safe recycling is urgent. New publication with @schmid_gallego Fernando Antonanzas Frank Podd @SustainableUoM

We're starting off the day with our Global South session featuring presentations on climate litigation in African courts, socially just climate adaptation in the Global South and the off-grid solar market in Malawi 🌍💡
My first PhD publication in a series investigating the dynamic of the unregulated #offgrid #solar market in sub-Saharan Africa, exposing that #ewaste is accelerating childhood lead exposure, and investigating #circualreconomy solutions

"air pollution impact of these coal plants could also lead to an estimated 29,000 emergency hospital visits due to asthma, 25,000 preterm births and 14 million days of work absence every year at a total annual cost of $6.2bn."
Exactly the transparency we need
A loophole in #HSBC’s pledge to phase out financing for #coal 🏭 by 2040 allows the Asset Management arm to support companies with plans to build more than 70 new coal power plants theguardian.com/world/2021/m… #ClimateCrisis #COP26

“By the end of 2020, 12,000 people per day could die from hunger linked to COVID-19, potentially more than will die from the disease itself.”
The impacts of the #COVID19 crisis are felt hardest by the world's most vulnerable people. This blog, developed by @EforA_Coalition, explores how #solar agricultural technologies can help avert a food catastrophe and mitigate mass hunger. Read it here: bit.ly/2Ulcdlu
