This report presents a structured analysis of insights from an ADSW Advisory Committee meeting held in 2026, examining the technological, economic, and policy conditions shaping the global clean energy transition. It addresses grid optimization, emerging energy technologies, trade and supply risks, the evolving role of artificial intelligence, and the re-emergence of carbon markets as a potential financing mechanism.

This systematic review and meta-analysis of 81 included studies synthesised available data on the prevalence of postpartum haemorrhage and severe postpartum haemorrhage according to objective and subjective blood loss assessment methods and mode of birth (vaginal and caesarean). Authors report that the pooled rates of postpartum haemorrhage and severe postpartum haemorrhage were substantially higher when objective methods of blood loss assessment were used instead of subjective methods.
This report synthesizes the outcomes of a high level UK–UAE clean energy roundtable convened in June 2026. It examines barriers to scaling clean energy, the role of government signalling and co-investment, priority technology areas for collaboration, and a set of strategic action recommendations aimed at accelerating the energy transition through deeper bilateral cooperation.

The article directly connects agricultural water management (AWM) to SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), emphasizing that effective water management is crucial for achieving food security and agricultural transformation in Africa. The policy agenda outlined aligns with both Agenda 2063 and SDG 2, highlighting how accelerated, context-specific AWM can unlock substantial gains in food security, climate resilience, and rural livelihoods. The connection is reinforced through specific targets mentioned in the introduction, where water management is explicitly integrated into five of the six CAADP strategic objectives, supporting goals like 45% increase in agricultural output and 50% reduction in losses. Additionally, the AU's Agenda 2063 aims to enhance water productivity by 60%, capture 10% of rainwater for productive use, and recycle 10% of wastewater, directly supporting sustainable development through improved resource management.
