The post-lockdown recovery is driving a resurgence in job hopping, in Australia’s version of the “great resignation”, after employees stayed put and focused on retaining work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Figures from professional networking site LinkedIn provided to The Sun-Herald show a 26 per cent jump in Australian workers moving from one company to another in October, compared with the same time in 2019, before the pandemic. LinkedIn Australia country manager Matt Tindale said it was a reflection of pent-up demand after few people changed jobs in 2020. “The vast majority of people were hunkering down in their roles through the pandemic period,” Mr Tindale said. In the United States, in a phenomenon dubbed the “great resignation”, nearly 35 million workers quit their jobs this year, prompting dozens of think-pieces about people seeking better work-life balance because the pandemic shifted their personal priorities. The simple explanation is supply and demand â€" ...

Russia is a place where industrial-scale fossil fuel energy is traditionally so plentiful that city dwellers in centrally heated apartments still sometimes throw their windows open in midwinter to cool off. So the Kremlin’s pledges at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland, including a strategy to make Russia carbon neutral by 2060, are unprecedented. Even some of the Kremlin’s toughest critics now agree that Russian authorities have finally accepted the need for serious action to meet the climate challenge. Why We Wrote This Russia showed signs at COP26 that it is finally getting serious about the threat of climate change. But the Kremlin’s shift in thought may need to go further to prepare the country for the future. But critics point out that, while the progress is real, there is a lot less to Russia’s new pledges than meets the eye. Even if all current goals are met, renewable energy will only be around 6% of Russia’s total by 2035, while Europ...

The mention on Saturday of fossil fuels was weaker than a previous draft, which called on countries to "accelerate the phasing out of coal and subsidies for fossil fuels". The new version, meanwhile, called for "accelerating efforts towards the phase-out of unabated coal power and inefficient fossil fuel subsidies." It also called for "recognising the need for support towards a just transition" - how developing nations still reliant on fossil fuels for power are assisted to decarbonise. The texts also called for nations to accelerate their emissions cutting plans and submit new ones by the end of 2022 - three years earlier than set out in the Paris Agreement. But it failed to allocate dedicated cash specifically for loss and damage, instead reiterating "the urgency of scaling up action and support" for vulnerable nations.

If you’re trying to quit smoking, instead of a stick of nicotine gum or an adhesive square to slap on your upper arm, your doctor could soon hand you an e-cigarette. England could be the first country in the world to allow prescription e-cigarettes, following an announcement on October 29 that the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, the United Kingdom’s medicines regulator, is now inviting manufacturers to submit products for approval. If an e-cigarette device passes the steps required for licensing, doctors will be able to prescribe it to patients who want to quit smoking. E-cigarettes are thought to outperform traditional smoking cessation aids for a number of reasons: They are more effective at alleviating tobacco withdrawal symptoms (grouchy mood, intense cravings to smoke, poor concentration), users can tailor the device to receive specific nicotine doses, and it gives smokers the sensation of smoking, in that they can hold something between their fingers a...

"There are disabled people and children among us. There are children who are one to two-years-old, as well as pregnant women. "We don't have food. The conditions here are terrible. We are bringing trees from the forest to light bonfire and warm ourselves." Migrant stranded on Poland-Belarus border describes hardships The man's comments highlight the plight of an estimated 2000 migrants, mainly Kurds, who are living in a tent camp in near-freezing temperatures. His plea comes as Belarusian state-owned airline Belavia on Friday said it would stop allowing citizens of Iraq, Syria and Yemen to board flights from Turkey to Belarus at the request of Turkish authorities amid a migrant standoff between Belarus and Poland. The European Union says Belarus is encouraging thousands fleeing war-torn parts of the world to try to cross its borders and may impose new sanctions on Belarus and airlines ferrying the migrants as soon as Monday. The bloc has accused Belarus of mounti...

Outside a detention centre in the Polish city of Bialystok, where we know asylum seekers who crossed the border from Belarus are being held, we meet a local mother and son. They have arrived as visitors. The mother, who only wants to be known as Zofia, is carrying a bag of clothes. She plans to give them to a woman she met two weeks ago living rough in the woods near her home. The woman was among five asylum seekers from Kurdistan who'd managed to enter Poland from Belarus. They had been hiding out in the forest between the two nations. And they were desperate, barefoot and starving. Zofia took them into her home.
