On 19 June, join experts and community leaders for the hybrid event GLF Africa 2025: Innovate, Restore, Prosper. Explore opportunities for the continent to reverse land degradation, biodiversity loss and the climate crisis.

Nairobi, Kenya (12 June 2025) – GLF Africa, hosted by the Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) and CFOR-ICRAF, returns for its 7th edition on 19 June, held online and in person in Nairobi, Kenya, in English, French and Swahili.

Bringing together leading voices from diverse sectors and backgrounds, this hybrid conference will spotlight Africa's progress, priorities and possibilities in building healthy, resilient and prosperous landscapes, communities and economies.  

Africa holds two-thirds of the world's arable land and the youngest population on Earth. GLF Africa 2025: Innovate, Restore, Prosper will highlight how science and traditional knowledge are guiding local action towards an economy that keeps the continent's land healthy for future generations.  

The event will cover four key themes:  

• Forest and landscape restoration
• Land and tree use rights and livelihoods 
• Natural capital and sustainable finance  
• AI, technology and data for intelligent landscapes 

Building Africa's nature economy  

Africa faces a triple environmental crisis of land degradation, biodiversity loss and climate change, but current policies, funding and land rights fall short of what's needed.

Time is running out to tackle these challenges – which is why the continent must start building a powerful nature economy today. This means unlocking its vast natural capital –its forests, biodiversity, land and water – combined with its deep knowledge systems, good governance, meaningful partnerships, AI and big data.

How to join the conversation

Everyone is invited to register for free at bit.ly/GLFAfrica2025.

The event will feature more than 60 inspiring speakers, including:

• Balbina Andrew, Indigenous community leader from Tanzania, Executive Director of Nourish Africa and Coordinator of the locally-led initiative GLFx Mwanza.
• Kate Kallot, Founder and CEO of Amini AI, recognized for expanding access to technology across Africa and named one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People in AI.

Extended drought and warm weather are damaging South Australia’s marine ecosystems, and periodic flooding of the River Murray poses another major risk.

A significant flood in the Murray-Darling Basin in 2022-23 gave Flinders University researchers a rare opportunity to analyse conditions that damaged biodiversity and water quality for both marine species and local ecosystems, some at popular tourist locations south of Adelaide.

A new study led by the Beach and Dune Systems (BEADS) Lab at Flinders University provides a detailed framework for understanding how the river discharge increased turbidity (silt, clay and other suspended particles in the water) as the sediment plume expanded across thousands of kilometres from the river mouth westwards around the Fleurieu Peninsula into Gulf St Vincent.

“During this period of high riverine discharge, we measured the spatial extent and intensity of the surface sediment plume, with our satellite imagery providing a reference point for future plume behaviour – particularly near shore for targeted monitoring,” says Flinders environmental science honours student Evan Corbett.

“Interestingly we found the historically important sediment plume within the coastal region reached its maximum spatial extent of 13,681 km2 during the eight-day period beginning on 11 December 2022, more than a month before the peak discharge occurred.”

The local monitoring and satellite imaging between November 2022 and February 2023 measured the volume of water discharge, turbidity levels affecting regular seawater quality, surface winds, barrage controls and other factors.

The study found the major plume typically pooled near the river’s mouth within the northern corner of Long Bay, before migrating persistently westward around the Fleurieu Peninsula through Backstairs Passage into Gulf St Vincent, occasionally exhibiting brief eastward migration periods.

Fine organic and inorganic particulate matter in water can make it cloudy or opaque, often having a detrimental impact on ecosystems when it occurs in large amounts.  

Strategic Professor in Coastal Studies Patrick Hesp, who leads Environmental Sciences at Flinders University’s College of Science and Engineering, says the study – in collaboration with University of Adelaide lecturer Dr Sami Rifai – used technology which effectively built a useful dataset to direct future research.

“This study highlights the significant role of riverine discharge in driving the surface sediment plume’s spatial extent and intensities, particularly within the plume’s inner core,” says Professor Hesp.

“Revealing when and where plumes are likely to form and evolve, this study provides a foundation for targeted monitoring, timely management interventions, and informed planning to reduce the discussed ecological and socio-economic risks associated with extreme river discharge events in the future.

“By improving how we measure and analyse these environmental events, we pave the way for better coastal management strategies, ensuring beaches and ecosystems remain more stable and resilient in the face of changing climate and weather conditions.”

The article, ‘Temporal and spatial distribution of 2022–2023 River Murray major flood sediment plume’ (2025) by Evan Corbett, Sami W Rifai (University of Adelaide), Graziela Miot da Silva and Patrick A Hesp has been published in the journal Remote Sensing. DOI: 10.3390/rs17101711.

Households using money saved from energy rebates, lower petrol prices, and interest rate cuts to treat themselves.

The CommBank Household Spending Insights (HSI) Index rose just 0.5 per cent in May. However signs are emerging that consumers are starting to loosen the purse strings for small luxuries thanks to lower costs in key spending areas like petrol and electricity bills.

Despite overall spending softness in the second quarter so far, Hospitality and Recreation now rank at the top of annual spending categories when compared to May last year, as households splashed out on restaurants, food delivery, cinemas and online travel, indicating continued divergence in spending tr

Port Sudan, Sudan, 12 June 2025 – For a year now, Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) teams in Darfur have been witnessing outbreaks of measles in the four Darfur states we currently work in. While massive vaccination campaigns are finally ongoing in several locations across the region, MSF insists on the need to increase efforts to catch up on the immunisation of children who have never been vaccinated.

The first surge of measles cases observed and treated by MSF were in June 2024 in Rokero, a city in the north of the Jebel Marra Mountains in Central Darfur, where MSF teams have been running the local Ministry of Health (MoH) hospital without interruption since 2020. At the start of 2025, cases were also reported in East Jebel Marra, South Darfur and in Forbrenga, West Darfur. More recently, new surges are also being observed in Zalengei, Sortony and in Tine, East Chad – all places where MSF runs activities.

From June 2024 until the end of May 2025, more than 9,950 patients were treated for measles in health facilities run or supported by MSF in the region. Around 2,700 were complicated cases requiring hospitalisation, and 35 deaths were recorded. To manage the influx of patients, we had to expand our paediatric beds capacity in three hospitals.  

One of the root causes of this situation is the region's already low immunisation coverage. “In Forbrenga, 30% of the measles patients we are receiving are above the age of five years and only 5% of them are vaccinated. This suggests that the lack of vaccination dates back further than the recent conflict,” explains Sue Bucknell, MSF's Deputy Head of mission in West Darfur.

“The ongoing conflict is also contributing to this outbreak, constraining the capacities of medical actors to both prevent and respond to outbreaks of contagious diseases,” adds Dr Cecilia Greco, MSF Medical coordinator for Central Darfur. “Mass population displacement has made the illness spread even faster across the region, further complicating the situation.”  

Since the war broke out, constant administrative impediments and regular blockades of key supply roads have caused vaccine shortages throughout Darfur. This led to disruption in routine immunisation programmes in several locations, sometimes for months. In Sortony, for example, an internally displaced people (IDP) camp of North Darfur hosting more than 55,000 people, vaccination totally stopped from May 2024 to February 2025.

These constraints and shortages have also limited the medical actors' capacity to roll out proper response campaigns. Last year, MSF carried out several vaccination campaigns such as in November 2024 in North Jebel Marra where 9,600 children were vaccinated. However, due to limited vaccine supplies, MSF teams were forced to reduce the target and to exclude children over five, despite clear needs. This inevitably reduced the long-term impact of these campaigns. In North Jebel Marra, while the vaccination campaign initially slowed the outbreak, cases began to rise sharply again from February.

Although mass vaccination campaigns are now happening in different parts of Darfur, negotiations and procedures have been lengthy. After MSF first raised the alarm about the multiple surges it was witnessing, it took months before the Federal MoH in Port Sudan and UNICEF released the needed vaccines from their stocks: finally enabling mass vaccination campaigns to be launched in different areas of Darfur. Last week, 55,800 children from nine months to 15 years old were therefore vaccinated in Forbrenga as part of a campaign led by the MoH and supported by MSF. 93,000 more children are set to receive the vaccine in North Jebel Marra and Sortony by the end of this week, in a similar campaign.

“Even if they represent a certain achievement, these campaigns should have happened much sooner. Many measles cases and their consequences could have been prevented” says Dr Greco. “And as much as they are needed, such reactive campaigns are only a band-aid to an open wound unless massive efforts are put in place on immunisation and prevention across Darfur, including its most remote areas.”  

Bucknell highlights the threat of further outbreaks of disease unless such efforts are initiated. “Measles is not the only contagious illness currently present in Darfur with the potential to turn into outbreaks. Over the last 10 days, about 200 suspected cholera cases were brought to MSF-supported health facilities in two different Darfur states. This follows a significant cholera outbreak in Khartoum state and other parts of Sudan,” she says.

“It is essential that federal and local health authorities, UN agencies and all medical actors on the ground collaborate not only to catch up on the vaccination of all the children left behind by immunisation programmes over the years, but also to enhance their ability to respond quickly and efficiently should any other outbreaks, like cholera, start spreading over Darfur. This includes the capacity to supply vaccines in and across Sudan, without facing the same impediments anymore,” concludes Dr Greco.

MSF is an international, medical, humanitarian organisation that delivers medical care to people in need, regardless of their origin, religion, or political affiliation. MSF has been working in Haiti for over 30 years, offering general healthcare, trauma care, burn wound care, maternity care, and care for survivors of sexual violence. MSF Australia was established in 1995 and is one of 24 international MSF sections committed to delivering medical humanitarian assistance to people in crisis. In 2022, more than 120 project staff from Australia and New Zealand worked with MSF on assignment overseas. MSF delivers medical care based on need alone and operates independently of government, religion or economic influence and irrespective of race, religion or gender.

June 11 2025 – Markets are set to rally on the announcement of a US-China trade agreement, but the structural conflict between the world's two largest economies remains intact, warns the CEO of one of the world's largest independent financial advisory and asset management organizations.

The warning from Nigel Green, CEO of deVere Group, comes as President Donald Trump declared on Wednesday that a deal with China is “done”, pending final sign-off from both leaders.

The agreement, reached after two days of high-level talks in London, will allow the US access to rare earth metals critical to its tech and clean energy sectors, and permits Chinese students to resume studies in American universities, both of which had become flashpoints in recent months.

The deVere Group chief executive says: “This is a headline-friendly development and markets will understandably welcome it. But beneath the surface, nothing fundamental has changed.

“This isn't a breakthrough, it's a partial restoration of a fragile status quo.”

He continues: “The reality is that this trade truce — if that's really what it is — mostly returns us to the already-tense conditions that existed before early April.

“Tariff levels remain historically elevated on both sides. Major export restrictions are still in place, and key sectors are untouched.”

The US continues to block the sale of advanced AI chips and semiconductor equipment to Chinese firms, citing national security risks.

China, meanwhile, has not gained meaningful concessions on autos, nor has it eased restrictions on outbound shipments of critical minerals in any lasting way.

“Beijing isn't getting access to the US auto market, and Washington isn't about to start selling its high-end AI technology. Neither side is treating the other all that differently than before this agreement,” says Nigel Green.

The agreement covers tactical ground, not the terrain of long-term rivalry.

It reaffirms the so-called Geneva consensus, includes a framework for rare earth supplies and student mobility, and temporarily lowers the volume of mutual recrimination. But it skirts the core issues: technology control, supply chain independence, export restrictions, and geopolitical influence.

Nigel Green warns investors not to be lulled into complacency: “Yes, markets will breathe easier in the short term.

“But the rivalry — the real contest for control of 21st-century economic power — continues unabated. This deal is more of a market management tool than a durable solution.”

deVere points to ongoing decoupling across multiple fronts: The US remains committed to reshoring critical industries, including EV batteries, semiconductors, and AI systems.

China is accelerating domestic substitution, financial insulation, and regional influence through Belt and Road initiatives and digital currency expansion.

Both countries are reshaping trade routes and payment systems to reduce interdependence.

“Two economic systems are forming,” says Nigel Green. “The US and its allies on one track, China and its partners on another. Investors need to understand the gravity of this shift. Today's agreement doesn't stop that — it merely papers over it.”

For investors, the message is mixed but actionable. Short-term sentiment is likely to turn more positive, especially for equities exposed to global trade flows, semiconductors, logistics and consumer electronics.

However, deeper strategic risks remain. Tariffs and restrictions are still in play. National security considerations still govern trade policy. And both governments retain full discretion to reverse course at any time.

“Volatility will ease briefly, but the structural risk is still there,” says Nigel Green. “We advise clients to continue diversifying geographically, build exposure to supply chain alternatives, and favour sectors that can withstand geopolitical tension.”

He concludes: “This is the world we're in now: strategic competition, periodic truces, and selective cooperation. Investors who think globally and position accordingly will come out ahead.

“This deal is good news for today's markets. But tomorrow's outlook is shaped by bigger forces.”

June 11 2025 – Markets are eyeing the Federal Reserve with fresh optimism after US inflation (CPI) data came in just below expectations for the fourth straight month – but investors should not expect a rate cut just yet, warns the CEO of one of the world's largest independent financial advisory and asset management organizations.

The May Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed annual inflation at 2.4%, matching forecasts but undershooting April's 2.5%.

Core inflation eased slightly to 2.8% year-on-year, versus the expected 2.9%. Both headline and core readings point to gradual disinflation – but the Fed is unlikely to move quickly, says deVere.

Nigel Green, CEO of deVere Group, comments: “Inflation is cooling – but not decisively – and with tariffs now feeding back into prices while the real economy is slowing, the Fed finds itself boxed in.

“We expect the central bank to stay on hold next week and likely through the summer. Even if markets begin pricing in cuts again, September remains uncertain.”

The inflation data follows a resilient US jobs report last Friday, which showed continued tightness in the labour market despite signs of economic softening.

“Wage growth is still strong. Consumer demand is still running. But at the same time, business investment is faltering and debt issuance is surging. It's a precarious balance,” says the deVere chief executive.

He notes that while markets may interpret the below-forecast inflation numbers as a green light for easing, it is premature.

“Today's data is helpful – but not decisive. The Fed wants to see a consistent, broad-based decline in inflation across services and goods before cutting. We're not there yet.”

In the meantime, tariffs are acting as a counterforce to disinflation, especially as a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that President Trump's “Liberation Day” tariffs could stay in force while it considers whether the White House has the legal authority to impose the levies.

“Tariffs are inflationary by design. They're now pushing against the Fed's disinflation goal at exactly the wrong moment – just as growth indicators begin to crack,” warns Nigel Green.

Against this backdrop, the deVere CEO urges investors to reassess portfolios urgently.

“Markets are walking a tightrope. Betting heavily on near-term rate cuts could be costly. Investors should remain positioned for policy stagnation, not relief.”

He adds: “Sectors with real pricing power and cost flexibility – such as automation, energy, and selected infrastructure – remain attractive. At the same time, the debt-heavy, rate-sensitive parts of the market are at risk.”

deVere also continues to flag concerns in the bond market. “With US debt issuance at record levels and foreign demand weakening, yields are likely to stay elevated. That has major implications for asset pricing and refinancing risk across the economy,” says Nigel Green.

The firm advises clients not to stay in cash. “Opportunities exist, especially globally. But you have to be active. Sitting on the sidelines might feel safe, but inflation still erodes value, and the volatility is creating entry points.”

Looking ahead to the second half of the year, deVere expects sentiment to oscillate between hopes for easing and fears of stagnation.

“Markets want a story. Today's CPI gave them a narrative of progress. But the Fed won't cut on sentiment. It will wait for data – and that data remains mixed.”

He concludes: “The inflation fight isn't over. The economy is showing cracks. Tariffs are complicating everything. The Fed won't be rushed, but the markets will keep guessing. Our message: don't guess. Get positioned correctly, now.”

The Coincident and Leading Barometers rise slightly in June, breaking a sequence of three consecutive declines. However, the outlook for global economic growth remains lower in the first half of the year than expected at the beginning of the year.

In June, the Global Economic Coincident Barometer rises by 1.4 points to 93.8 points, with increases across all three major analyzed regions. The Leading Barometer, in turn, rises modestly by 0.4 points to 96.5 points, driven only by an increase in the Western Hemisphere region, while the other regions move in the opposite direction.

“In particular the Western Hemisphere – including the United States and its nearest trading partners – has this month shown clear signs of relief in the survey data underlying the two global economic barometers. The pause, and potentially the de-escalation, of the US-initiated trade war has led to improved assessments of both the current situation and outlook. However, given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the international political landscape, it is unsurprising that these improvements do not indicate a clear recovery, let alone an upswing”, evaluates KOF Director Jan-Egbert Sturm.

Coincident Barometer – regions and sectors

The 1.4-point increase in the Coincident Barometer in June results from a positive contribution of 0.9 points from the Western Hemisphere indicator, followed by 0.4 points from Asia, Pacific & Africa and 0.4 points from Europe. With this result, the Western Hemisphere indicator

Sydney, 10 June 2025 – In recent years, Frequency Control Ancillary Services (FCAS) have provided a lucrative revenue stream for many I&C energy users. But recent FCAS prices have seen a significant decline. In its latest White Paper, Understanding the decline in FCAS prices, energy technology company GridBeyond explores the reasons why FCAS prices have fallen and what businesses can do to recoup lost revenues.

According to the latest Quarterly Energy Dynamics report (covering Q1 2025), published by AEMO, total FCAS costs reached $13M in Q1 2025, representing approximately 0.3% of the total cost of consumed energy* for the quarter. This marks a $16M decrease compared to the same period last year. This reduction was mainly driven by lower FCAS prices and a smaller number of volatility events during the quarter, relative to last year. In the same time period BESS output increased by 86% year-on-year in the NEM, reaching an average of 98MW . The significant decline in FCAS prices reflects the impact of increased battery storage capacity and evolving market dynamics. But although FCAS prices are decreasing, energy prices will stay high providing an opportunity for businesses to recoup lost revenues, with the right technology.

While falling FCAS prices present a challenge, they also mark a shift in how value is created in the evolving energy ecosystem. There are still strategic pathways for I&C businesses to recoup lost revenue. The key for I&C businesses is to shift from passive participation in legacy markets to proactively stacking value. Businesses that embrace this change can recoup lost value and capture even greater returns in the long run – says the report.

In conclusion, demand side response and process optimisation can allow businesses to identify real flexibility opportunities, enable more informed decision-making in optimising energy and creating a more efficient and cost-effective energy strategy.

Flash quote from Pascale Coissard, MSF emergency coordinator

“Israeli forces' displacement orders and bombings in the close vicinity of Nasser hospital, in Khan Younis, have forced MSF to adjust its operations in the hospital and move part of its burn and orthopaedic activities to our field hospital in Deir Al Balah. This minimises the risk to some patients and staff, whose safety is our top priority. Despite the insecurity and movement restrictions, our commitment to Nasser hospital continues through our physical presence and our work in the maternity and paediatric wards, technical expertise, specialist visits, and financial support.
