Civil society organizations have been successful in winning climate and environmental court cases, with notable victories in countries such as Switzerland, South Korea, Ecuador, India, and Italy. However, fossil fuel companies have begun to fight back, filing over 150 lawsuits in the US alone to silence criticism. Meanwhile, peaceful protesters are being jailed, and activists are facing violence and repression in many countries. Despite these challenges, civil society will continue to push for climate action, using tactics such as litigation, street protests, and non-violent direct action. The struggle is urgent, with 2024 being the hottest year on record and extreme weather events becoming more frequent. Global north governments and fossil fuel companies must take responsibility and partner with civil society to address the climate emergency.

A recent report by PYMNTS Intelligence found that despite economic uncertainty, consumers are still willing to spend on certain goods and services, such as salon nail treatments and children's extracurricular activities. The report, based on a survey of over 2,200 US consumers, revealed that personal care products and services, as well as children's activities, show remarkable price resilience, with only 5.1% and 2.9% of consumers respectively saying they would stop spending on these categories if prices increased. In contrast, other categories such as technology and digital devices, groceries, and dining out are more sensitive to price increases, with nearly 52 million consumers saying they would abandon spending on these categories if prices increased by 10%. The report also found that financial security plays a significant role in consumer price elasticity, with paycheck-to-paycheck consumers showing greater sensitivity to price increases compared to financially secure consumers. Overall, the report suggests that retailers who understand these evolving priorities and price their goods accordingly will be best positioned to weather the current economic uncertainty.

South Korea has announced plans to invest an additional $4.9 billion in its semiconductor industry by 2026, citing "growing uncertainty" due to potential US tariffs. The move aims to support local firms, including Samsung and SK Hynix, which have seen their shares hammered by concerns over the sector. The investment is part of a revised supplementary budget proposal and includes funding for infrastructure development and securing talent for the industry. This comes after the US threatened 25% tariffs on South Korean goods, including semiconductors, which could heavily impact the country's chip and auto industries. However, analysts believe that the US may not impose tariffs on semiconductors due to a lack of viable substitutes, and behind-the-scenes negotiations are expected to continue. Trade talks between the US and South Korea are scheduled to take place next week.

The Swedish slow TV hit "The Great Moose Migration" has become a phenomenon, with 9 million viewers tuning in last year. The 20-day, 24-hour livestream documents the annual migration of moose across the Ångerman River in northern Sweden. Fans, such as 62-year-old Ulla Malmgren, stock up on coffee and prepare meals to watch the event without missing a moment. The show's slow pace, with hours of nothing happening, is part of its appeal, allowing viewers to relax and feel connected to nature. The production is part of a trend that began in 2009 with Norwegian public broadcaster NRK's minute-by-minute airing of a train trip. The show's crew uses remote cameras and a drone to capture the moose without interfering with their migration. The livestream has a calming effect on both viewers and the crew, with many fans committed to watching as many hours as possible.

India's Wholesale Price Index (WPI) inflation dropped to 2% in March, down from 2.38% in February. The decrease was mainly due to a drop in food inflation, which eased to 1.57% from 3.38% in February, with vegetables seeing a sharp 15.88% deflation. However, manufactured products inflation rose to 3.07% in March, and fuel and power inflation also increased. Despite this, economists expect WPI-food inflation to ease further in April due to softening prices of essential commodities, but higher temperatures may pose an upside risk to food inflation.
