High Level Summit Addresses IssuesWRITTEN BY: Deanna Arutyunyan, Headline News Editor, Chief & Editor.
Published: 11.24.2025 Leaders of the World meet during High-Level Summit due to Economic, security issues.
The high-level international summit brought together representatives of over 40 countries today to discuss sluggish economic growth across the globe, emergence of new security challenges, and changing geopolitical demands. In Geneva, the two-day meeting was attended by heads of state, senior ministers, and policy experts in order to deliberate on coordinated strategies when dealing with issues affecting various regions. The summit opened with a strong message on the need to dialogue and cooperate, especially when most countries are grappling with supply-chain issues, escalating energy prices, and continuous humanitarian demands. Economic consultants on the information front registered inconsistent recovery rates across the globe leading to deliberations on trade policy, investment stability and financial resiliency in the long-term. As observed by the participants, although some key economies have performed well by showing signs of stabilization, some others end up stumbling in the dark as a result of inflationary pressures and unstable commodity markets. Security issues were also a part of the agenda. Representatives considered the recent cyber attacks to government facilities and commercial infrastructure of various countries, and it shows that digital systems are vulnerable. Analysts informed the audience about the necessity of enhanced information-sharing structures and defensive coordination activities as a step towards reducing risks. Regional conflicts were also discussed, with the need to involve diplomacy and international law being the main focus. The key areas of focus that were completed the summit included climate resilience and sustainable development. Governments were called upon by the environmental experts to move faster to the reduction of the emissions and the increase of the renewable energy and assist those communities that were impacted by the extreme weather patterns. A number of delegations offered collaborative projects aimed at the enhancement of the systems of disaster-response and green-technology innovation. It is anticipated that the summit will end tomorrow with the joint statement defining the aspects of agreement and the ways of further cooperation. Although the participants admitted that the problems in the future look quite big, several of them said that they are hopeful that collaborative efforts can be made, with the help of a long-term dialogue. It will be observed that follow-up meetings will be held later in the year to determine the progress and will help in setting priorities that are shared. CLIMATE CHANGE may be silent...but IT'S creating mass extinction in front of our very eyes.WRITTEN BY: Deanna Arutyunyan, Headline News Editor, Chief & Editor.

The world is going through a critical movement in the fight against climate change, its own sickness that has spread through the world, killing our animals, destroying habitats, and ruining the once healthy earth. We are reaching a point where of are unable to reverse the damage that is done. Climate scientists have revealed that coral reefs, glaciers, and permafrost regions are hitting thresholds of which are unable to be recovered. The concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide has reached record heights, surpassing 425 parts per million, which is the highest level found in millions of years.
Despite the major investments in renewable energy, progress has still been unable to be made. The International Energy Agency has found that although renewable capacity has grown exponentially, nations are still not on track to triple renewable energy production by 2030, which is a target that is essential to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius. Developing countries, in particular, are struggling to transition away from fossil fuels without the financial support necessary from wealthy nations. A new coalition of finance ministers, led by Brazil, is requesting 1.3 trillion in annual climate finance to help the vulnerable nations mentioned. Their proposal reforms global credit and insurance systems, arguing that current mechanisms are failing to protect economies from increasing climate disasters such as floods and droughts. Extreme weather is persistent in devastating regions across the globe. Vietnam and the Philippines have recently faced powerful typhoons of which displaced thousands; meanwhile, parts of Africa and Southern Europe endure record-breaking heat waves and droughts. The climate change experts have come to agree that the next five years will determine whether or not humanity can stabilize the climate or even be able to face widespread ecological and economic upheaval. APPLYING FOR COLLEGESWRITTEN BY: Deanna Arutyunyan, Headline News Editor, Chief & Editor.

Applying for colleges is a daunting task, especially for seniors who are already going through the absolute whirlwind of senior year. But now that I’ve completed the lengthy process of applying, let me pass on some wisdom to my fellow seniors, or to any extremely gifted first graders who somehow got here early and are planning ahead for greatness.
Step 1: Send in your transcript through Parchment. This is one of the most crucial steps, because obviously, how will a college get your transcript if you don’t send it to them? Take your time and double-check that it went through correctly. Step 2: Apply through Common App. Most colleges are available through Common App. Create your Common Application, fill everything out carefully, and begin to see those acceptances rolling in like waves of relief and excitement. Step 3: Send in recommendation letters! Though it is not necessary for some colleges, it is still a vital part to showcase your abilities through the school or your advisors. You can request people to recommend you through the Common App as well, and always thank them sincerely afterward. Step 4: Apply for FAFSA. Even though you may think you don’t need it, trust me, FAFSA is a very important part of the college application process. Even if you don’t need financial aid, you still need to apply to qualify for certain scholarships and grants that can surprise you later. Step 5: Apply for scholarships. Never. Think. You. Don’t. Need. Scholarships. College is ridiculously expensive, and everyone needs scholarships unless you are the daughter of some Rockefeller like Jeff Bezos. But even then, still apply. I personally use Scholarship Owl to apply, as it will find the best fit scholarships for me and save a lot of time and stress. Step 6: Take a deep breath. College is scary, leaving home is hard, and growing up feels unreal. Life only moves forward, so making sure you are mentally prepared to move on from adolescence is a vital step. Remember that everything will work out in time, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. |
