Australia`s carbon credit scheme was undermined by damning new research on Wednesday(27 March), which found a world-leading reforestation project had been an underperforming "catastrophe". Vast swathes of land across Australia`s desert Outback have been earmarked for native forest regeneration, which is meant to offset emissions as new trees suck up carbon. But researchers have found that across almost 80 percent of these plantations forest growth was either stagnant -- or that woodlands were shrinking.

Four people were condemned to death and two sentenced to life in prison on Wednesday (27 March), after a decade-long investigation into the 2013 killing of Tunisian secular opposition leader Chokri Belaid. Tunisia still hands down death sentences, particularly in "terrorism" cases, even though a de facto moratorium in effect since 1991 means they are effectively commuted to life terms. Belaid`s assassination, which was claimed by jihadists loyal to the Islamic State group, dealt a heavy blow to the fledgling democracy established after the overthrow of longtime dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in the first of the Arab Spring uprisings of 2011.

Japan is expected to announce plans to develop a next-generation passenger jet following a government committee meeting on Wednesday (27 March), a year after the last struggling attempt was scrapped. The public-private project, which could use hydrogen fuel in a bid to cut emissions, will cost around five trillion yen ($33 billion), Japanese media reported, citing unnamed sources. An official announcement is expected later on Wednesday (27 March) after a closed-door meeting of politicians, experts and businesspeople to discuss a new aviation industry strategy. "For the Japanese aircraft industry to achieve sustainable growth, we cannot stay satisfied with our position as a parts supplier," Kazuchika Iwata, state minister for economy, trade and industry, told the committee in comments open to press at the start of the meeting.
