In recent years, there’s been a growing appreciation for Indigenous land stewardship and traditional knowledge. But what gets overlooked is that successfully managing those lands means that Indigenous people have already survived severe climate events and extreme weather. Now, Indigenous communities are leading the way in climate adaptations — from living alongside rapidly melting ice to confronting rising seas and creating community support networks. Indigenous knowledge does not mean going back to “traditional” methods; it means evolving, a characteristic that has always been a part of Indigenous life. There’s no easy fix for the planet. But Indigenous people have simple solutions rooted in the depth of their knowledge. Recently we launched Changing With Our Climate, a limited-run series exploring Indigenous solutions to extreme weather rooted in history — and the future. This summer and fall, we’ll be publishing five features that center an Indigenous community confronting extreme weather on the front lines. This series has not set out to mythologize Indigenous communities with bespoke, unapproachable, or mystic traditional practices and solutions — but instead underscores humility as a throughline. Indigenous people realize we cannot bend the world to our human will. We’re far better and more resilient when we tune in and lean into changes when possible. By showing the connections between storms, climate disasters, and issues of tribal sovereignty, Changing With Our Climate will explore what it really means when we say that climate change is an existential threat — and how we can work together to find a way out.

Washington: The US central bank has cut interest rates for the first time in four years to control inflation.

Inflation in the US, the world's largest economy, had pushed interest rates to their highest levels in two decades.

The US Federal Reserve has announced a 50 basis points cut in interest rates.

Fed policymakers also expect interest rates to be cut by another 50 basis points this year.

Wall Street also ended the day slightly lower after the interest rate cut announcement, with the S&P 500 down 0.29 percent.

Inflation, which peaked in the summer of 2022, has also slowed, Steve Sosnick, chief market strategist at Interactive Brokers, told the foreign news agency.

The decision by the Federal Reserve Bank to cut its benchmark federal funds rate from 4.75 percent to 5 percent marks a turning point in its fight against inflation.

“This decision to cut interest rates reflects our growing confidence,” Federal Reserve Bank chief Jerome Powell told reporters.

New York: Munir Akram, Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the United Nations, said that the Fitna al-Khawarij in Afghanistan has the patronage of the Afghan Interim Government.

Addressing the Security Council meeting on the situation in Afghanistan, Munir Akram called Fitna al-Khawarij the biggest terrorist organization in Afghanistan and that it is carrying out terrorist attacks with the support of the Afghan interim government.

He said that Pakistan will continue to take action against Fitna al-Khawarij at the national level. Pakistan is ready to cooperate with regional and international organizations to eliminate the threat of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

Munir stated that the Afghan government should follow its international obligations, the international community should not ignore its goals in Afghanistan.

He further said that there is deep concern about the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan and the suppression of women's voices.
