Ljubljana, 14. maj – V Cankarjevem domu v Ljubljani je danes potekal prvi podnebni posvet iz serije šestih podnebnih posvetov, ki bodo do konca leta potekali po Sloveniji. Osrednja tema posveta so bili podnebni cilji in nastajajoči podnebni zakon. Razpravljalci so se strinjali, da je odziv na podnebne spremembe lahko odlična razvoja priložnost Slovenije, ki pa jo z nezadostnim izvajanjem ukrepov lahko hitro zamudimo.

Ljubljana, 23. april 2010 - 26. aprila 1986, je svet pretresla najhujša jedrska katastrofa v zgodovini človeštva. Zaradi človeške napake je v ukrajinskem mestu Černobil eksplodiral četrti reaktor jedrske elektrarne. Po eksploziji so neustavljivi nevarni izpusti radioaktivnih snovi prepotovali svet in negativno vplivali na življenja milijonov ljudi. Učinke te nesreče je po 24 letih mogoče videti še danes in zato želi Focus društvo za sonaraven razvoj ob obletnici te tragedije opozoriti na nevarnosti, ki jih še vedno odpira raba jedrske energije.
