Three-Year Partnership Delivers Greater Access to Learning, Safety, and Sport for Displaced Youth

GENEVA, Dec. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ANTA Group’s “Moving for Change” partnership with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is expected to have supported more than 300,000 displaced children and youth in Africa over the past three years. At this week’s Global Refugee Forum Progress Review in Geneva, the Chinese sportwear company pledged to maintain similar levels of contribution for the next three years, continuing its efforts to enhance safety, education, and well-being of displaced children through learning and play.

Christina Li, Vice President of ANTA Group, addressed the Forum, noting that from 2023 to 2025, ANTA Group provided US$1.5 million in financial support and donated 1.2 million pieces of sporting apparel and equipment to displaced youth and children in Burundi, Kenya and Ethiopia. These contributions support UNHCR’s Sports for Protection programming and Primary Impact education initiative, which keeps refugee classrooms open during crisis by funding teachers and supplying learning materials so children can start, stay, and succeed in school.

“As responsible global citizens, we have long been committed to turning our vision into reality through global CSR initiatives, echoing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals of No Poverty, Good Health and Well-being, Quality Education, and Reduced Inequalities,” Li said. “We believe in the power of sports to unite people – regardless of background, ethnicity, or nationality. In China, we have implemented multiple sports-related programs benefiting nearly 10 million young people. We are now expanding our sports philanthropy to support international humanitarian efforts, extending our impact from Chinese youth to vulnerable communities worldwide.”

In September, Li and Arash Bordbar, Primary Impact lead at UNHCR, led a delegation to two refugee camps in Ethiopia to witness firsthand the impact of the partnership. The visits demonstrated how ANTA Group’s support is creating lasting, positive change for refugee children – both in classrooms and on sports fields.

At Ethiopia’s Bambasi refugee camp – which hosts 16,000 refugees – Li kicked off a friendly football match supported by ANTA Group. “Sport is a universal language that transcends all barriers and brings hope, joy and unity – even in the most challenging circumstances.”

Li noted that delivering in-kind donations to Africa required significant coordination and commitment including careful sorting, international transportation, and last-mile delivery. By working closely with a range of partners, ANTA Group invested additional effort at every stage, successfully overcoming logistical complexities to ensure both cash and in-kind donations reached refugee sites in Kenya and other countries as intended.

Arash Bordbar, who leads the education-focused Primary Impact program at UNHCR, emphasized: “The partnership with ANTA Group is a clear example of how private-sector engagement can expand opportunities and transform the lives of people forced to flee. By investing in purpose-driven education and sports programming – and co-creating solutions with partners like ANTA Group – we see how the private sector can play a vital role in addressing global challenges and creating lasting solutions.”

Wu Dan, Head of Overseas Project Department, Chinese Red Cross Foundation added: “Guided by the spirit of building a China-Africa community with a shared future, we have been working closely with UN agencies and enterprises, integrating resources and expertise from all parties. In the past two years, we have overcome a severe and complex international environment as well as numerous logistical challenges. We delivered international humanitarian aid supplies in three batches to displaced children in three African countries, helping them integrate into communities, return to school, and regain their optimistic spirit. We’ve achieved many ‘firsts’ through the tripartite collaboration, allowing us to contribute to the realization of the UN Sustainable Development Goals through humanitarian practice and advance the building of a global community with a shared future for humankind. “

ANTA Group reaffirmed its commitment to deepening cooperation with UNHCR and working alongside global partners to build a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable world.

CALGARY, AB, Dec. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In an Open Letter to the Office of the Superintendent for Financial Institutions (OSFI) of Dec. 05, 2025, Friends of Science Society challenged OSFI’s recent accolades for climate risk reports received from several major Canadian banks and insurance firms. A key criticism by Friends of Science Society relates to an economic study which had been retracted days earlier.

On Dec. 03, 2025, the science journal NATURE retracted Kotz et al (2024), “The economic commitment of climate change,” a highly publicized study. This study had been adopted by the central banks, which are party to the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS), as a basis for climate risk analysis.

Canada has committed to a stringent Net Zero 2050 emissions reduction target, says Friends of Science Society. They argue in the letter to OSFI that the Kotz et al study wildly exaggerates the economic damage to global GDP. A Wall Street Journal editorial of Dec. 09, 2025, reported that the Kotz et al study suggests that climate change could cause $31 trillion in damages by 2049. For context, in 2024, North America GDP was ~$31.4 trillion. If Canadian banks and insurers are using Kotz et al as a basis for climate risk analysis, Friends of Science Society argues that financial climate risk policies (which include lending and insurance) are also being skewed. 

An earlier analysis by Friends of Science Society’s president, Ron Davison, P. Eng., titled, “Net Zero: Climate Policy is All Pain for Minimal Gain,” revealed the economic costs to Canada from climate change would be nominal; the economic damage from trying to reach Net Zero would be staggering.

One example noted in Friends of Science Society’s letter to OSFI is that a proposed bill known as the Climate Aligned Finance Act (CAFA, Bill S-238, also known as Enacting Climate Commitments Act), which intends to significantly restrict financing for energy-intensive industries would find credence from the banking sector, if reliant on Kotz et al. The Act references: “Whereas the Bank of Canada recognizes that climate change poses significant risks to the financial system and the economy, including physical risks that arise from more frequent and severe extreme weather events and risks that stem from the transition to a low-carbon, net-zero economy…”

Climate scientist Dr. Madhav Khandekar, former WMO regional expert, past IPCC expert reviewer and 40 year veteran research scientist of Environment Canada, discussed the problem of people conflating extreme weather events as if evidence of climate change in this Friends of Science presentation. Khandekar recommends that society should develop adaptations to climate change rather than trying to control the weather by restricting the use of fossil fuels.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has positioned Canada as a would-be energy superpower and recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the province of Alberta. A key focus is on ultimately building a new pipeline to the West Coast to access world markets. Friends of Science Society argues in its letter to OSFI, that skewed climate risk analysis and climate targets, along with a bill like Enacting Climate Commitments Act, would deindustrialize Canada in a similar manner to Germany’s present state of industrial decline.

Friends of Science Society has issued a new report about the Canada-Alberta MOU, written by retired energy economist and former public servant and diplomat, Robert Lyman, titled “He Shoots; Does He Score?” The title reflects a nod to Prime Minister Carney’s election hockey metaphors.

The Trump administration has abandoned the Paris Agreement and Net Zero, moving rapidly to build out energy systems; thus, the climate policies in Canada are at odds with its largest trading partner. Under the Canada-Alberta MOU, Alberta is relieved of clean electricity grid regulations and will be advancing AI, however, as Lyman notes in his report, the likelihood of a pipeline is low and contested, as outlined in this Friends of Science Society video.

Friends of Science Society’s position is that the Canadian banking sector has adopted an unwarranted catastrophic view of climate change that is not supported by the broader scientific evidence. Over 2,000 scientists and scholars, including many Friends of Science Society members, have signed the CLINTEL World Climate Declaration that there is no climate emergency.

About
Friends of Science Society is an independent group of earth, atmospheric and solar scientists, engineers, and citizens that is celebrating its 23rd year of offering climate science insights. After a thorough review of a broad spectrum of literature on climate change, Friends of Science Society has concluded that the sun is the main driver of climate change, not carbon dioxide (CO2).

SYDNEY, Dec. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — First Graphene Limited (ASX:FGR; “First Graphene” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the successful production of approximately 600 tonnes of graphene enhanced cement ahead of a raft of new trial projects rolling out in the United Kingdom.

The high tonnage of cement contains circa three tonnes of First Graphene’s PureGRAPH-CEM^® additive and was produced by commercial partner Breedon Group PLC (“Breedon”) at its Hope Cement Works in Derbyshire.

Production of this historic volume of graphene enhanced cement marks a major milestone for the cement and concrete industry, showcasing the commercial viability of manufacturing a more environmentally friendly product at scale.

Manufacturing was completed efficiently at Hope Cement Works over one day, with PureGRAPH-CEM^® being added into the finally milling stage.

The graphene enhanced cement enables users to reduce their CO₂ footprint by up to 16% due to the reduced amount of carbon intensive ‘clinker’ required.

The PureGRAPH^® enhanced cement is currently in storage ahead of despatch for use in concrete for three main projects across the United Kingdom, and for the University of Manchester to conduct compressive strength testing and analysis of the concrete’s performance.

First Graphene Managing Director and CEO Michael Bell said:

“Production of 600 tonnes of cement containing our PureGRAPH-CEM^® is a historic milestone in our journey, showcasing our product’s viability for production at scale.

Adding graphene into cement has proven to deliver performance benefits for a wide range of applications, and multiple end uses of this cement batch reinforces PureGRAPH^®‘s versatility.

We look forward to working closely with our strategic commercial partner Breedon, Morgan Sindall, FP McCann and the University of Manchester as application trials roll out over coming months.”

Strong and sustainable concrete roof tiles

The first trial will see 30 to 40 tonnes of graphene enhanced cement incorporated into thousands of roof tiles produced by FP McCann at its Cadeby manufacturing plant in Leicestershire.

These tiles will be tested for material use efficiencies and waste reduction benefits over five months at the company’s research and development facility in Knockloughrim.

The trial is part of a Contracts for Innovation: Resource Efficient Construction Impacts project funded by Innovate UK^[1], with £15,000 allocated for the supply of graphene enhanced cement.

FP McCann designed the trial in response to ongoing housing shortages in the UK and to assist with the UK Government’s plan to deliver more than one million affordable and sustainable new homes by 2029.

The PureGRAPH^® enhanced cement will also be used for two infrastructure projects in the UK, delivered in partnership with the high-end infrastructure division of Morgan Sindall Group PLC and Breedon.

First Graphene has also received requests from multiple other organisations across the UK and Australia for experimental volumes of the material for testing across a wide range of applications.

As one of the UK’s largest cement producers, Breedon has a deep commitment to manufacturing sustainable construction materials, reinforced by the use of graphene enhanced cement at its production facility.

First Graphene has previously collaborated with both Breedon and Morgan Sindall to successfully test graphene enhanced concrete as part of a high use truck wash bay on a UK motorway.
