A laborer disassembles discarded computer and television monitors in an electronic waste workshop in New Delhi, India. E-waste, referring to electronic products nearing the end of their life, includes items like computers, smartphones, and more. India, the third-largest producer of electronic waste globally, generates about 2 million tons annually, including undisclosed imports. In Delhi, around 25,000 workers, including children, are involved in crude e-waste dismantling, handling 10,000-20,000 tons yearly with bare hands. This exacerbates India's e-waste challenge, raising concerns for public health and the environment. A 2019 UN report emphasizes the gravity of the issue, revealing that annual e-waste production is valued at over $62 billion, three times more than the combined output of all the world's silver mines. l December 5, 2023 l 📷️: @yawar_nazir_kabli l #GettyImagesNews

Nyekuon Gai poses for a portrait with her daughter outside her shelter in an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in Rotriak, South Sudan. Gai fled the civil war in 2014 and returned to South Sudan on November 11, 2023. She decided to stay in Rotriak settlement camp after hearing that her village had been flooded. Climate change has divided South Sudan into land that is experiencing unprecedented flooding or drought, with record flooding creating widespread displacement, the destruction of livelihoods and the loss of arable land which all contribute to rising hunger and cases of malnutrition. The ongoing war in Sudan has caused displacement of over 3.3 million people, some redirected refugees traveling back to South Sudan.
