- Greening at least 50% of schools globally by 2030 through the Greening Education Partnership.
- Target Audience: Policy-makers, education ministries, educators, learners, and communities.
- A practical manual outlining climate education, detailing learning outcomes, and guiding countries to integrate environmental topics into curricula.
- Sets minimum requirements for creating green schools through an action-oriented approach.
5) Base Erosion And Profit Shifting:
- The 16th meeting of the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) concluded
- An inclusive framework on BEPS is finalizing negotiations on Pillar One, while the Global Minimum Tax under Pillar Two is being implemented in countries globally
- The OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on BEPS, with 147 countries and jurisdictions including India, fights tax avoidance and promotes fair tax practices through a Two-pillar approach: Pillar One reallocates profits of large MNEs, while Pillar Two establishes a Global Minimum Corporate Tax of 15%.
- This framework ensures fairness in tax systems, addresses tax avoidance, and adapts to evolving business models and digital economies.
6) TRISHNA Mission:
- Thermal Infrared Imaging Satellite for High-resolution Natural Resource Assessment (TRISHNA) mission, a collaboration between ISRO and CNES (French Space Agency), aims to monitor surface temperature and water management globally.
- It includes two primary payloads: Thermal Infra-Red (TIR) from CNES for infrared imaging and VNIR-SWIR from ISRO for surface reflectance mapping.
- Operating in a Sun-synchronous orbit, it will aid climate monitoring, urban planning, and disaster management.
- The mission aims to monitor the energy and water budgets of continental biospheres, alongside high-resolution observation of water quality and dynamics.
7) ISRO Set For Final RLV Landing Experiment:
- The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is putting its Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) technology through a set of testing that are very important. Within a larger plan to create spacecraft that can be launched, recovered, and used again, these tests are a big part of making space trips much cheaper.
- The third and final RLV Landing Experiment (RLV LEX), which is part of ISRO’s ongoing work, is set to happen in the first half of June.
- As long as the weather is good, this test will take place at the Aeronautical Test Range in Chitradurga, Karnataka.
- This important goal has been reached by the task readiness review.
- For the RLV LEX flights, an unmanned prototype with wings is used. It is called “Pushpak.”
8) List Of Cabinet Ministers Of India 2024 In PM Modi 3.0:
- The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged as the single largest party in the 18th Lok Sabha, securing 240 seats.
- This marks a significant decrease from their previous tallies of 303 seats in 2019 and 282 seats in 2014. However, the party’s performance has been sufficient to form the government at the center.

10) Quantum Data:
- A new quantum computing study claims that a recent finding in the production, storage and retrieval of “quantum data” has brought us one step closer to the quantum internet.
- Quantum Data refers to information that is stored and processed using the principles of quantum mechanics.
- Unlike classical data, which is represented by binary states (0s and 1s), quantum data is represented by quantum bits or qubits.
Applications of Quantum Data:
- Quantum key distribution (QKD) leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to create secure communication channels that are theoretically immune to eavesdropping.
- Quantum algorithms can potentially solve complex optimization problems more efficiently than classical algorithms.
