The International Atomic Energy Agency is launching a new Coordinated Research Project aimed at increasing understanding of the role, performance and impact of nuclear-renewable hybrid energy systems in meeting current and future energy demand. The three-year project is intended to support the development of data and analysis, with the goal to advance these systems toward commercial deployment.

Climate Change and Coffee: Combatting Coffee Rust through Nuclear Techniques
The coffee industry generates approximately US$ 100 billion per year. But with climate change and the changing weather patterns that come with it, the conditions that were once suitable for coffee plants are deteriorating in many traditional growing areas; in addition, incidence of coffee leaf rust ꟷ a disease that kills coffee trees ꟷ is on the rise.
The IAEA, in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), has been working with national experts to alleviate the stress of coffee leaf rust on coffee trees using nuclear techniques. A first for the IAEA, experts are being trained to use plant breeding techniques to develop coffee varieties that are resistant to the fungus that causes coffee leaf rust. This training is part of a five-year Coordinated Research Project where scientists from six countries are conducting research on disease resistant coffee pl
