Play Video: Indonesia's Giant Floating Solar Plant & 2024 Smart Toy Awards | WEF | Top Stories of the Week

This week's top stories of the week include: 0:15 The world has an antibiotic problem – Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), also known as antibiotic resistance, is a major health concern. It occurs when microbes, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, become resistant to the drugs used to treat them. This makes infections harder to treat and increases the risk of death. 4:48 Indonesia's giant floating solar plant – Indonesia has made a significant stride in renewable energy by unveiling a massive floating solar plant, the third largest of its kind globally. Situated on the Cirata Reservoir, 107 kilometers southeast of Jakarta, the plant's 13 expansive arrays cover 4% of the reservoir's surface, capable of generating up to 192 MW of power. 6:06 2024 Smart Toy Awards – Moflin, a palm-sized AI pet, is among the winners of the Smart Toy Awards. Just like a real pet, Moflin's AI has an "emotional model" that allows it to react to the way it's treated. This interactive play experience fosters a connection between the child and the toy, creating a sense of companionship and responsibility. 7:58 Clean air projects attract global investment – In 2021, international development funding for air quality projects surpassed that of fossil fuel projects for the first time, reaching $2.3 billion, an increase of $800 million from fossil fuel projects. This significant drop from $11.9 billion in 2019, the peak for fossil fuel funding, suggests a potential shift in the global financing landscape away from fossil fuels. _____________________________________________ The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.

Play Video: Germany's First Zero-Waste City & Gender Balance Benefits Companies | WEF | Top Stories of the Week

This week's top stories of the week include: 0:15 Kiel is Germany's first zero-waste city –Kiel has put 107 waste-reducing measures in place. They include practical changes, such as ‘pay-to-throw’, a scheme in which households pay a fee for the amount of landfill waste they generate. Other measures include recycling collection ‘islands’ around the city, discounts for shoppers who bring their own containers and banning disposable products at all city events. 1:33 Gender balanced companies outperform others – According to a BlackRock study of 1,250 of the world’s biggest companies. Over the past decade, the companies with the most equal gender balance achieved a 7.7% average annual return on assets (RoA). Those with the highest share of men delivered a 5.6% RoA, while those with the highest share of women returned a 6.1% RoA. The study concluded it was ‘diversity that counts’ rather than the dominance of a single gender. 3:08 US wants to convert empty offices into homes – The government will offer funding and technical support to help cities turn unused workspaces into affordable apartments. US office vacancy rates have hit a 30-year peak as more staff clock in to work remotely. Meanwhile, rents in the country remain at historic highs after a surge during the pandemic converting offices to apartments can be challenging. 4:48 Rwanda and Kenya open borders to other Africans – Rwanda and Kenya have made significant strides in promoting African unity by opening their borders to other Africans, enabling visa-free travel for all citizens of the continent. This move positions Rwanda as the fourth African nation to remove such restrictions, following Benin, The Gambia, and Seychelles. Kenya is set to join them on December 31, 2023. _____________________________________________ The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell talked about regulators' interest rate outlook in a speech at Spelman College on Friday, calling rate cuts a "premature" notion currently. Chicago Booth Professor and Former Fed Governor Randall Kroszner highlights certain misconceptions on rate cuts being taken from Powell's comments as the Fed continues fighting toward its inflation target. "It's going to take a while to get anywhere close to 2%, and I don't think they're cutting any time in advance of getting very close to that 2% goal," Kroszner explains. #youtube #stockmarket #news Subscribe to Yahoo Finance: https://yhoo.it/2fGu5Bb About Yahoo Finance: Yahoo Finance provides free stock ticker data, up-to-date news, portfolio management resources, comprehensive market data, advanced tools, and more information to help you manage your financial life.
