[G20] G20 into the light

Written by Yonhap News Agency

Due to not being able to join the G20 conference, Yonhap News Agency are only able to know what it’s been up to during the press conference.

G20 has been working on plans which their finance minister came up with. They have also completed a drift article which forces on new sustainable technologies to mitigate effects on climate change.

Technology that is most sustainable and more feeding the growing population for future generations.

One such technology is Genetically modified food. Claiming that this technology is extremely beneficial towards the curtain situation on climate change.

They have also brought forward the idea of a substitute in the form of protein. Which requires less energy to produce, and eliminate a fraction of greenhouse gas. Where this idea is still being explored.

They are planning to make such technology affordable by using funds from IDB or the world bank.

They also have an ambassadorship program as well as a world agriculture forum. This way technology not only can be brought by the country, through funds from other institutions but also by going to forums and from adapting other countries' technology.

They also held a concern for how farmers in LDC will be able to use this technology. Like in Indonesia and India. Thus they have encouraged nations to engage joint ventures with LDC and private public partnerships. To share their secrets without any betrayal. Where both countries will have a win-win situation.

However, European Union strongly oppose the use of genetically modified. Where G20 expresses hope that countries will look through short terms goals to ensure the sustainability and security of our food in the long term.

[UNHCR] Exiting Afghanistan: Biden’s Big Blunder

Written by Wall Street Journal Upon American troops’ evacuation from Afghanistan, Kunduz and other provincial capitals fell to the Taliban within just 48 hours. On April 14, 2:29PM, President Biden announced that “more and endless American military force could not create or sustain a durable Afghan government”. A bold claim, especially since following American troops’ evacuation from Afghanistan, Kunduz and other provincial capitals proceeded to fall to the Taliban within a mere 48 hours. Biden’s controversial decision to pull out American troops from Afghanistan was not received well internationally, with news agencies such as BBC and NPR  stating that “As Kabul falls, Biden backlash grows” and that “Republicans were scathing about the White House’s actions, and Democrats, while acknowledging that President Biden was carrying out the policies of his predecessor, criticized the haphazard manner of the U.S. withdrawal.” In addition, how relinquishing a large amount of support from A...
