#environment27 A new report by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) suggests the world will likely “overshoot”, or temporarily breach, the 1.5°C target of warming above preindustrial temperatures within the next few years. The UNEP report titled “Limiting Overshoot” says crossing the 1.5°C threshold is “unavoidable”, with global temperatures expected to peak at about 1.8°C above pre-industrial levels even under an “optimistic scenario”. Policy focus shifts to minimising overshoot magnitude/duration, rapid GHG and methane reductions, net-zero followed by net-negative CO₂, carbon-dioxide removal (CDR), and adaptation.

| 2 |  #science27 Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) uses a continuously rotating supersonic detonation wave in an annular chamber, enabling pressure-gain combustion and potentially higher fuel efficiency than conventional engines. Fuel and oxidiser are continuously injected. Applications include rockets, spacecraft propulsion, hypersonic missiles and air-breathing propulsion. India’s D-Propulse has demonstrated an indigenous RDE at a DRDO facility.
Combustion mode: Detonation, not ordinary deflagration
Wave: Supersonic and travels circumferentially

| 3 |  #global27 Izmail and Odesa are different Ukrainian ports in Odesa Oblast. Odesa lies directly on the Black Sea, while Izmail is situated on the Danube River, near Romania. Izmail is strategically important for Ukraine’s alternative export routes, especially grain, while Odesa remains a major Black Sea port.
Izmail → Danube; Odesa → Black Sea.

| 5 |  #global27 The Ulchi Freedom drills are a combined military exercise between South Korea and the US. Named after the Korean general Ulchi Mondik, the exercise is reportedly the world’s largest computerised command and control implementation focused on defending South Korea from a North Korean attack. Since 1976, the drills have been conducted annually between August and September, except for 2018, when the South Korean government temporarily cancelled them.

| 6 |  #initiatives27 India holds a prominent place in the global coconut economy. The country ranks first in production and third in cultivation area. The Coconut Development Board (CDB),established on 12 January 1981, functions under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare. Headquartered in Kochi.

| 7 |  #global27 The Kambari–Fulani clashes occurred in Borgu, within Niger State of north-central Nigeria. The Kambari are an indigenous ethnic group concentrated in Niger State, while the Fulani are widely distributed across West Africa, with many communities historically associated with pastoralism. The Kambari are an indigenous ethnic group concentrated in Niger State, North-Central Nigeria, particularly around Borgu.

| 8 |  #global27 The Houthis (Ansar Allah) are a Zaydi Shia movement based mainly in northern Yemen, originating from Saada. Jazan Province is a Saudi administrative region on the Red Sea, bordering Yemen; Jazan city is its capital. Jazan Refinery, operated by Saudi Aramco, is an industrial facility there. The area’s proximity to Yemen and Bab-el-Mandeb gives it strategic importance.

| 9 |  #science27 The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has identified unusual Little Red Dots (LRDs) in the early Universe, likely representing young, rapidly growing supermassive black holes surrounded by dense gas. One proposed explanation is a “black-hole star” (BH*), where a black hole is embedded within a dense gas cocoon. Their Balmer break (~364.6 nm), redshifted into infrared wavelengths, helps constrain their nature and redshift, offering clues to early black-hole growth. How did supermassive black holes become so massive so soon after the Big Bang? LRDs may provide clues to the seed-black-hole problem. Little Red Dots (LRDs): Compact, extremely distant red sources discovered with JWST.

| 10 |  #initiatives27 The MQ-9B SeaGuardian is a U.S.-origin HALE (High-Altitude Long-Endurance) remotely piloted aircraft system developed by General Atomics. Designed for maritime intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), it provides persistent monitoring using radar, EO/IR and AIS sensors, with potential anti-submarine warfare capability. India’s Navy has leased two SeaGuardians for 30 months for maritime-domain awareness.

| 11 |  #initiatives27 The Indian Army and Royal Thai Army contingents comprise 85 personnel each. The Indian Army contingent is represented primarily by troops from 9 Gorkha Rifles, while the Royal Thai Army contingent comprises personnel from the 3rd Battalion, 25th Infantry Brigade, 5th Division. The exercise will involve company-level joint training focused on operations in jungle and semi-urban terrain.

| 16 |  #global27 SMRs enable scalable, decentralised baseload power for remote areas, industries and data centres. SMR denotes size/modularity, not a specific reactor technology such as PWR, PHWR or gas-cooled reactors. | 128 |
| 17 |  Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are compact nuclear-fission systems generally producing up to 300 MWe per module, using factory-fabricated, transportable components and modular deployment. Fission generates heat, transferred through a coolant to produce steam and drive turbines. Designs may use light/heavy water, helium, molten salts or liquid metals. Many incorporate passive safety systems using natural circulation and gravity. | 126 |
| 18 |  #global27 During the November meeting, the two sides reviewed the progress of the Kudankulam nuclear power project (KKNPP) in Tamil Nadu — the largest nuclear power station in India and the flagship project of Russian-Indian energy cooperation. KKNPP Units 1 and 2, where Russia’s earlier generation ‘VVER-1000’ light water reactor units have been deployed, were connected to the national power grid in 2013 and 2016 respectively and currently supply electricity to India’s southern region.

These are manufacturing; farming and food processing; technology and innovation; infrastructure; defence; the green and blue economy; and soft power.

| 20 |  #environment27 Hara mangroves lie in the Khuran Strait, between Qeshm Island and mainland Iran, near the Strait of Hormuz. Dominated by Avicennia marina, they form the Persian Gulf’s largest mangrove ecosystem. Hara is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (1976), while Khuran Strait is a Ramsar Site (1975), supporting turtles, sea snakes, fish and migratory birds.
