Die Schweiz, ein Volk von Mietern
Der Trend der rückläufigen Eigentümerquote dürfte sich fortsetzen. Das wirkt sich auf die Preise von Eigentumswohnungen aus. Die Schweiz gilt weit über die Landesgrenzen hinaus als Land der Mieter. Daran wird sich nichts ändern. Schweizweit ist weniger als jeder zweite Haushalt Eigentümer seiner Wohnung. Nachdem das Stockwerkeigentum 1965 im ZGB gesetzlich verankert worden war, stieg die Eigentümerquote zunächst.
Wohneigentum Schweiz: Eigentümerquote sinkt weiter
– Die Schweiz, ein Volk von Mietern Der Trend der rückläufigen Eigentümerquote dürfte sich fortsetzen. Das wirkt sich auf die Preise von Eigentumswohnungen aus. Der Markt für neue Einfamilienhäuser ist als Folge der 2014 in Kraft getretenen umfassenden Änderungen des Raumplanungsgesetzes (RPG) stetig geschrumpft. Die Schweiz gilt weit über die Landesgrenzen hinaus als Land der Mieter. Daran wird sich nichts ändern. Schweizweit ist weniger als jeder zweite Haushalt Eigentümer seiner Wohnung.
Beyond the grid and the pipe: The hidden reality of electricity and water access in the Middle East and North Africa region
On paper, access to electricity and piped water in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region looks almost universal. In 2022, about 96 percent of people had access to electricity, and 95 percent to basic drinking water. But this headline story is misleading. For millions of households, these services are not reliable. Power cuts and water shortages, particularly during summer peak periods, are part of daily life—and they often hit the most vulnerable the hardest.

América Latina y el Caribe necesita redoblar esfuerzos en su transición hídrica
Many of us in Latin America and the Caribbean have long taken water for granted. After all, doesn’t the region host one third of the planet’s water resources, starting with the mighty Amazon River? But in the last year, headlines after headlines have put that belief in question. A drought cutting off Amazonian communities from the outside world. Water rationing in Bogotá. Blackouts in Quito. Reduced draft in the Panama Canal. Forest fires in Brazil and Bolivia. Floods in Rio Grande do Sul.
Un llamado a la acción por el agua en América Latina y el Caribe
Hace un año, el Banco Mundial lanzó un llamado a la acción en nombre de los 166 millones de personas en América Latina sin acceso a agua segura, los 443 millones de personas sin saneamiento seguro y los 150 millones de personas que viven en áreas con escasez de agua. El llamado se basó en nuestro reciente informe El Agua Importa que destaca los principales retos del sector en la región y proporciona recomendaciones de políticas estratégicas para los tomadores de decisiones.
Implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on self-reported health status and noise annoyance in rural and non-rural Canada - Scientific Reports
Abstract The Canadian Perspectives on Environmental Noise Survey (CPENS), conducted between April 12th, 2021 and May 25th, 2021 coincided with the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Canadians 18 years of age and older (n = 6647) reported the degree to which the pandemic affected their physical health, mental health, stress, annoyance toward environmental and indoor noise, and overall well-being.
Hair cortisol as a viable tool for the assessment of an association between environmental noise exposure and chronic stressa)
Beyond hearing impairment and tinnitus, chronic exposure to noise can be associated with reactions that may lead to adverse health effects. These include chronic annoyance responses, sleep disturbance, and general effects on well-being. Likewise, changes in blood pressure, heart rate, and circulating stress hormones are documented responses to noise exposure (Basner et al., 20144. Basner, M., Babisch, W., Davis, A., Brink, M., Clark, C., Janssen, S., and Stansfield, S. (2014).
Annoyance toward landscaping equipment noise in Canada
Landscaping devices are a common source of noise annoyance (Michaud et al., 20227. Michaud, D. S., Marro, L., Denning, A. D., Shackleton, S., Toutant, N., and McNamee, J. P. (2022). “ A comparison of self-reported health status and perceptual responses toward environmental noise in rural, suburban, and urban regions in Canada,” J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 151(3), 1532–1544. https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0009749; TNO, 201612. TNO (2016).
Celebrating a clean beach, clean sheet in Durres
Summer after summer, hundreds of thousands of urban dwellers flock from Tirana, Albania’s capital, and beyond to the nearby city of Durres, on the Adriatic coast, to enjoy its beaches and laid-back atmosphere. Over the years though, many grew increasingly concerned as the smell of raw sewer became more and more prevalent, and the beach was listed as an environmental hotspot.

High frequency hearing impairment and cardiovascular disease in Canada: Results from the Canadian Health Measures Survey
Protracted exposure to loud noise may act as a stressor capable of causing sustained changes in the physiological milieu underlying cardiovascular disease (Basner et al., 20142. Basner, M., Babisch, W., Davis, A., Brink, M., Clark, C., Janssen, S., and Stansfeld, S. (2014). “ Auditory and non-auditory effects of noise on health,” Lancet 383(9925), 1325–1332. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(13)61613-X; Münzel et al., 201415.

Christian view: God calls us to creation care
When these resources are polluted, degraded and destroyed by human activity, we should be alarmed. I believe the environment — and climate change in particular — should be of concern to people of faith, and I say this based on my faith as a Christian and as someone who has grown up on the Shore and lived here many years. Genesis 1:26-28 tells us human beings are created in God’s image and likeness, and given dominion over all other creatures.
