Malaria is the leading cause of death in Mozambique, and insecticide-treated bed nets are one of the key malaria control measures. (cdc.gov)
Insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) are a form of personal protection that has been shown to reduce malaria illness, severe disease, and death due to malaria in endemic regions. (cdc.gov)
Insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) are a major intervention for malaria control. (cdc.gov)

Several companies have developed long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) that maintain effective levels of insecticide for at least 3 years, even after repeated washing. (cdc.gov)
LLINs have been associated with sharp decreases in malaria in countries where malaria programs have achieved high LLIN coverage. (cdc.gov)
Funding for LLINs gradually increased from 2004 when 5.6 million nets were delivered, to 2010, when 145 million nets were delivered. (cdc.gov)
One way to maintain net coverage is to increase the lifespan of LLINs. (cdc.gov)
Multilateral and bilateral donors and programs such as the Global Fund against HIV/AIDs, Tuberculosis, and Malaria and the President's Malaria Initiative support the purchase of LLINs for many countries. (cdc.gov)

Mosquito nets, particularly bed nets or sleeping nets, have, in some shape and form, been used for thousands of years. (cdc.gov)
Today, pyrethroid-treated mosquito nets are used extensively in malaria-endemic countries in Africa, yielding life-saving returns for little cost. (cdc.gov)
Personal measures such as using insect repellent, covering exposed skin with clothing, and using mosquito nets also provide simple, cost-effective--albeit not foolproof-- protection. (cdc.gov)

PMI supports FELTPs in 12 of 19 target countries in Africa. (cdc.gov)
Between 2008 and 2010, a total of 294 million nets were distributed in sub-Saharan Africa. (cdc.gov)

Net neutrality is the principle that governments should mandate Internet service providers to treat all data on the Internet the same, and not discriminate or charge differently by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication. (wikipedia.org)
In Belgium, net neutrality was discussed in the parliament in June 2011. (wikipedia.org)
Three parties (CD&V, N-VA and PS) jointly proposed a text to introduce the concept of net neutrality in the telecom law. (wikipedia.org)

Recent studies have suggested that the rise of pyrethroid resistance may undermine the effectiveness of nets. (cdc.gov)
To help manage resistance, some net products incorporate piperonyl butoxide (PBO) along with a pyrethroid insecticide, but there is not yet evidence that this significantly improves ITN effectiveness in areas with high levels of pyrethroid resistance, and WHO currently does not consider nets that incorporate PBO to be tools for managing pyrethroid resistance. (cdc.gov)

Since 2007, the U.S. President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) has supported the Mozambican Ministry of Health and the National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) in efforts to reduce the burden of malaria in the country, not only through distribution of bed nets, but other key components as well: indoor residual spraying, diagnostic testing and treatment with effective antimalarials, and intermittent preventive therapy for pregnant women.

With coal burning by far the biggest contributor to air pollution and carbon emissions in the country, China will have to find other, cleaner ways to power its giant economy if it's going to meet its carbon targets. (manufacturing.net)
Just the variation in what China can do in the next 20 years has as much impact as all of the emissions of some countries, like Saudi Arabia and Australia and Canada. (manufacturing.net)
These would commit the two countries to reducing domestic emissions to net zero by around mid-century - though both are expected to continue exporting fossil fuels for decades to come. (theconversation.com)
Because it's only domestic greenhouse gas emissions that are counted for the purpose of the UN climate negotiations, burning exported fossil fuels counts towards the emissions of the importing country. (theconversation.com)
For example, countries with lots of uninhabited land, like Australia, have become especially adept at gaming the systems of accounting for net emissions of CO₂. (theconversation.com)
What Does 'Net-Zero Emissions' Mean? (wri.org)
But to avoid the worst climate impacts, global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will need to drop by nearly half by 2030 and ultimately reach net zero. (wri.org)
Recognizing this urgency, a rapidly growing number of national governments, local governments and business leaders are making commitments to reach net-zero emissions within their jurisdictions or businesses. (wri.org)
Net-zero emissions, or "net zero," will be achieved when all emissions released by human activities are counterbalanced by removing carbon from the atmosphere in a process known as carbon removal . (wri.org)
Achieving net zero will require a two-part approach: First and foremost, human-caused emissions (such as those from fossil-fueled vehicles and factories) should be reduced as close to zero as possible. (wri.org)
2. When Does the World Need to Reach Net-Zero Emissions? (wri.org)
The latest science suggests that limiting warming to 1.5 degrees C depends on CO2 emissions reaching net zero between 2050 and 2060. (wri.org)
Critically, the sooner emissions peak , and the lower they are at that point, the more realistic achieving net zero becomes. (wri.org)
This does not suggest that all countries need to reach net-zero emissions at the same time. (wri.org)
Equity-related considerations - including responsibility for past emissions, equality in per-capita emissions and capacity to act - also suggest earlier dates for wealthier, higher-emitting countries. (wri.org)
Importantly, the time frame for reaching net-zero emissions is different for CO2 alone versus for CO2 plus other greenhouse gases like methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases. (wri.org)
For non-CO2 emissions, the net zero date is later, in part because models assume that some of these emissions - such as methane from agricultural sources - are more difficult to phase out. (wri.org)
A comprehensive net-zero emissions target would include all GHGs, ensuring that non-CO2 gases are also reduced with urgency. (wri.org)
3. Is the World on Track to Reach Net-Zero Emissions on Time? (wri.org)

A recent study estimated that up to $3.8 billion could be saved over 10 years by increasing the lifespan of nets from 3 years to 5 years. (cdc.gov)

Reaching net zero earlier in that range (closer to 2050) avoids a risk of temporarily "overshooting," or exceeding 1.5 degrees C. Reaching net zero later (nearer to 2060) almost guarantees surpassing 1.5 degrees C for some time before global temperature can be reduced back to safer limits through carbon removal. (wri.org)
