In sectors like mining, ports, logistics and heavy manufacturing, dangerous conditions were seen as part of the job. Fatal accidents, equipment failures and human exposure to hazardous environments were often treated as operational realities rather than preventable outcomes. Today, that mindset is undergoing a fundamental shift &#x2014; and at the heart of this change is the digital evolution of safety.</p><br> <a href="https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/the-digital-evolution-of-safety-across-africas-critical-industries-849093a">Read more...</a> | <a href="https://www.bizcommunity.com/Request/SendToEmailRedirect.aspx?ct=1&ci=264829">Email</a></p><div style="clear:left"></div>

Since 2019, researchers have released regular reports analysing how these governments plan to continue drilling and mining for fossil fuels &#x2013; and how those plans diverge from the global climate goal set out in the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit temperature rise to less than 1.5&#176;C above pre-industrial levels. <a href="https://www.sei.org/publications/production-gap-report-2025/">The 2025 Production Gap Report</a> found that many of these countries still plan to produce far more fossil fuels by 2030 than is safe for the climate.
