Achieving sustainable development depends on fostering innovation through collective action. Governments must set ambitious frameworks, businesses should invest in green solutions, and young people and start-ups need to drive fresh ideas. To develop the most efficient solutions, we need an inclusive, people-centred approach, which ensures that no one is left behind. Inclusive climate action is paramount, not only to tackle climate change but also to reduce socio-economic inequality.

One of the key agendas of the P4G summit this year is showcasing innovations and developing actionable strategies that support and unlock investment for innovation and climate start-ups in emerging markets and developing economies. Could you please elaborate more on why innovations and climate start-ups are of enormous importance for achieving our climate goals?
doc_c8d52f55_2
Ambassador Nicolai Prytz: It is becoming increasingly clear that innovations and climate start-ups are crucial to overcome the obstacles we face in achieving our climate goals. We need entrepreneurs bringing their full capacity to the table, since the borderless problems require new, innovative solutions.
doc_3de14c9e_3
Climate start-ups are of enormous importance, because they can deliver the right solutions. Technological innovation, new investment models, and emerging markets are all expected to shape a future where sustainability is not just an option but a top priority. P4G responds to this need by helping early-stage businesses gain access to funding and has leveraged about US$100 million in investments across 19 climate businesses to date.
doc_b4fbc5d3_4
As we transition to a green economy, there is a growing recognition that trade activities, environmental protection and sustainable development are inseparable. In this context, P4G plays a vital role in promoting green and inclusive growth. With the global economy moving toward a greener, more circular and more innovative future, fostering opportunities for start-ups is essential. Rapid advancements in science, technology and innovation are shaping new solutions to global challenges.
doc_dae4975a_5
This funding will assist startup businesses with climate finance in their early stages, enabling them to scale up climate solutions such as sustainable agriculture, food loss and waste reduction, energy storage solutions, and water security.
doc_943e4832_6
The early-stage funding and technical support model of the P4G forum addresses the urgent need to mobilize climate investments. By bridging the early-stage financing gap, startups can attract additional capital and drive systemic change in key sectors. By 2027, these partnerships aim to raise 42 million USD in investment collectively, create over 4,500 new jobs, benefit 830,000 people, and reduce around 450,000 tons of carbon emissions.
doc_c052f53d_7
Startups can play a catalytic role in advancing the climate transition, yet they remain significantly underfunded," said Robyn McGuckin, Executive Director of P4G. "With P4G's specialized support, these startups will scale investable adaptation and mitigation solutions that will not only build resilience in climate-vulnerable regions but also create pathways for sustainable economic growth and private-sector investment."
doc_e4ee54de_8
Through the P4G Summit, startups can connect with NGOs and technical experts, thereby deepening their market understanding, business proofs, and strengthening the Environmental-Social-Governance (ESG) strategies. The climate finance for new P4G partnerships will focus on Colombia, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Kenya, South Africa, and Vietnam.
doc_77743d9a_9
Startup partnerships also benefit from the national platforms of the P4G Group, including national public-private platforms. These partnerships provide real-world insights from startups and connect them with relevant authorities, facilitating policy dialogues and in-depth workshops, thereby creating a more favorable market environment for climate businesses.
doc_65132121_10
Many of these enterprises are also offering critical and urgently-needed solutions such as clean energy, green transportation, and clean water, all addressing the growing demands of society. Therefore, access to funding during this phase is vital and can determine whether a business survives and thrives.

Looking ahead, we are eager to expand our cooperation with Vietnam, with many promising initiatives being implemented under the P4G Summit framework. These include startup support programs, green growth market mapping activities, and the application of digital technology and AI to support the development of innovative enterprises.
doc_0de8b3b4_12
I believe Vietnam is currently standing at a particularly significant crossroads in the field of green growth. This is not only a chance to develop solutions that meet domestic needs, but also an opportunity to bring those innovations to regional and international markets.
doc_d6d81101_13
Green policies are not only the foundation for attracting green investment, but also act as a catalyst to accelerate the implementation of climate solutions. At present, Vietnam is exploring innovative policies, such as integrating AI into emissions management and reductions. AI holds the potential to cut emissions by 5-10 per cent over the next few years, and establishing a supportive policy environment for its application is a strategic and forward-looking move.
doc_a479923e_14
In addition, financial tools such as de-risking mechanisms and blended finance will be essential solutions for Vietnam. These tools help lower investment barriers and create opportunities for the private sector to invest more boldly in green sectors. When combined with tax incentives or clear regulatory frameworks, they can further reveal the true potential of green innovation to businesses.
doc_58a5a260_15
In his opening speech, PM Chinh said that for sustainable and people-centered green transition, the discussion would be an opportunity for countries to exchange and build an action program based on three aspects: building inclusive, fair green institutions, taking the market as the center to regulate and allocate resources as the foundation; building green economic capacity; and building a green international cooperation framework and multi-sectoral, multi-subject linkages.
doc_d6d3d6ed_16
To this end, P4G cooperation would play a pioneering and leading role, paving the way for the process of testing new policies and methods of connecting resources, especially public-private partnership and support from developed countries to developing countries in the green transition process, he said.
doc_ee2be843_17
PM Chinh made a number of specific proposals to promote the sustainable and inclusive green transition process. As a platform to promote public-private partnership, connecting governments, businesses and socio-political organizations, P4G needs to continue to provide financial and technical support in the field of climate change prevention, developing solutions to minimize impacts and respond to climate change.
doc_299c7b3d_18
The international community needs to join hands and make stronger efforts to realize the goals and commitments of sustainable and people-centered green transition in the spirit of "what is said is done, what is committed is implemented, what is implemented is achieved with real and concrete results", he recommended.

Speaking in a pre-recorded video sent to the discussion, French President Emmanuel Macron highly appreciated the activities of P4G as well as Vietnam's proactive engagement in sustainable development issues. He thanked Vietnam for its close coordination in implementing the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) and the Paris Pact for People and the Planet.

Ekrem Imamoglu's hearing centers on insulting and threatening the chief Istanbul prosecutor. His imprisonment over unrelated charges of corruption and aiding a terrorist group sparked mass protests across Turkey.
doc_68e88640_25
The mayor was jailed in March pending trial over separate charges of corruption and aiding a terrorist group. His imprisonment sparked mass protests across Turkey, a sharp selloff of Turkish assets and broad accusations of a politicized judiciary. Those demonstrations saw some 2,000 people detained.
doc_1d40245b_26
Addressing the judge, Imamoglu said he was in court because he had won three elections against the person "who thinks he owns Istanbul," a clear reference to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who began his political career as the city's mayor in the 1990s.
doc_ed150314_27
An election is due to be held in 2028 but may come sooner, and Imamoglu's imprisonment has been widely viewed as politically motivated although the government insists the country's judiciary is free of political influence.

The lawsuit blatantly violated established ECtHR case law, which stipulates that politicians must tolerate a higher degree of criticism than ordinary citizens. The Pakdemirli v. Turkey decision clearly states that high-compensation lawsuits aimed at chilling political speech violate Article 10 of the ECHR. Such moral damages claims reflect a broader pattern of judicial harassment designed to silence opposition voices through financial intimidation.
doc_3e3e62b3_37
Ultimately, the incident is yet another alarming example of how legal mechanisms are being systematically exploited to silence opposition figures under the pretext of counter-terrorism. It highlights a broader pattern of judicial harassment aimed at intimidating and suppressing political dissent.
doc_8a273b25_38
The arrest triggered mass protests, but the government responded with undemocratic measures: throttling social media, banning demonstrations for four days, and using excessive force, including acts amounting to torture. Even platforms like X (formerly Twitter) resisted the restrictions.
doc_1fc502b7_39
The ECtHR must recognize that delayed intervention weakens rights protection and encourages authoritarianism. The ECtHR must move beyond formalism and act proactively to identify and counter judicial harassment.

There are more than 250 cardinals from more than 90 countries, but only about 135 are cardinal electors (those over the age of 80 are excluded). About 110 of the cardinal electors have been chosen by Francis in the past 10 years and largely reflect his vision of a more inclusive church.

The 2025 London Summit on Ukraine, officially entitled the Securing Our Future London Summit, 2 March 2025, was a meeting of international leaders in London on 2 March 2025, called by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to draft a peace plan for the Russian invasion of Ukraine to take to the United States.[1]
doc_98eb087c_61
Starmer emphasized that European nations would need to take primary responsibility for the initiative and "do the heavy lifting"[10] and that the agreement would require US backing and Russian involvement. He indicated that the United Kingdom would back its security commitments with "boots on the ground, and planes in the air,"[10] regarding the possibility of UK and EU direct military presence in Ukraine to carry out a peace enforcement operation.
doc_19164ab8_62
Secretary General of NATO Mark Rutte echoed this sentiment, noting that the meeting demonstrated European nations "stepping up" to ensure Ukraine has the resources necessary to "stay in the fight as long as it has to continue".[16]
doc_35a3531d_63
Right after the meeting, Finland's president Stubb said that Norway and Finland are working in support of the drafting of the UK-France-Ukraine peace plan. In addition, he said that the role of the countries that are Russia's neighbours will be different from providing peacekeeping troops.[17]

One of the most recurring messages across all of the rallies was the defense of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in science. Recent moves by the administration to dismantle DEI initiatives and target research centered on marginalized communities inspired passionate resistance.

Yet the most important people at the protest may not have been on the stage but in the audience. People like Sara Rouhi, who works in research publishing and is a co-author of the Declaration to Defend Research against U.S. Government Censorship, steadily traversed the crowd, QR-coded sign and shirt at the ready.

Scientists and their supporters now face a similar test. In its first weeks, the Trump administration has targeted the U.S. scientific enterprise broadly, the culmination of decades of attacks on climate scientists, safety panels and health officials by business-backed politicians like Trump.

The scale of the disaster has been devastating and will be felt for years to come. Military authorities in Myanmar have declared a state of emergency in six regions —Bago, Magway, Sagaing, Mandalay, Magway, Bago, Sagaing, Nay Pyi Taw and Shan State and Nay Pyi Taw—and have called for international support to help millions of people affected. Ten days on, by 68 April, at least 3,4500 people had died, over 45,5000 had been injured, and more than 200 were still missing, according to official figures. The real toll is likely much higher, with communication blackouts and underreporting making it difficult to grasp the full scale of the tragedy.

Files

  • queries.tsv: Contains the query information
    • Columns: query_id, query_text, category
  • corpus.tsv: Contains the document collection
    • Columns: doc_id, title, text, url
  • qrels.txt: Contains relevance judgments
    • Format: query_id 0 doc_id relevance_score

Data Fields

Queries

  • query_id (string): Unique identifier for each query
  • query_text (string): The natural language query
  • category (string): Topical category (Technology, Sports, etc.)

Corpus

  • doc_id (string): Unique identifier for each document
  • title (string): Document title

Methodology

Data Collection Process

  1. Source Selection: Major news outlets, official sites, sports organizations
  2. Temporal Filtering: Events after April 2025 only
  3. Query Creation: Manual generation by domain experts
  4. Novelty Validation: Tested against GPT-4 knowledge cutoff
  5. Quality Control: Multi-annotator review with senior oversight

Annotation Guidelines

  • Highly Relevant (3): Document directly answers the query
  • Relevant (2): Document partially addresses the query
  • Marginally Relevant (1): Document mentions query topics but lacks detail
  • Not Relevant (0): Document does not address the query
