The technical director of El Salvador, the Spaniard David Dóniga, announced on Wednesday that La Selecta is ready for its confrontation against Bonaire this November 14 at 7:00 pm at the Cuscatlán Stadium.

Mario González, the goalkeeper of La Selecta, supported the teacher’s statements and showed that the support of the fans will be important for this game. “Winning it (the game) is important for us, the support of the fans is important… it motivates you and works twice as hard and makes the fans happy after so many years,” said the goalkeeper.
For Selecta, the match against Bonaire is an opportunity to consolidate its leadership in the group and keep alive its aspirations to achieve promotion again to Serie A and cement its path to the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
How can renewable energy investments contribute to economic growth while addressing climate issues?
Interviewer: Welcome, everyone, to this special edition of Time.news. Today, we have the privilege of speaking with Dr. Jane Smith, a leading expert in climate change and environmental science. Thank you for joining us, Dr. Smith.
Dr. Smith: Thank you for having me! It’s great to be here.
Interviewer: Let’s dive right into it. The global climate crisis is more pressing than ever before. Recent reports have highlighted alarming trends regarding rising temperatures and extreme weather. Can you summarize what you believe are the most critical issues we face right now?
Dr. Smith: Absolutely. One of the most urgent issues is the acceleration of extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, droughts, and wildfires. We’re witnessing a clear increase in intensity and frequency. This is primarily due to the rising global temperatures, which we estimate to be around 1.2 degrees Celsius since the pre-industrial era, largely due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels.
Interviewer: Those statistics are indeed daunting. With such escalating challenges, what actions do you think are most critical for governments to take in addressing these issues?
Dr. Smith: Governments must implement comprehensive policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This includes transitioning to renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, enforcing stricter emissions regulations on industries, and investing in public transportation. Additionally, we need to focus on conservation efforts and sustainability in agriculture to enhance our resilience against climate impact.
Interviewer: It sounds like a multifaceted approach is vital. However, there’s often a debate about the economic implications of such changes. How can governments balance climate initiatives with economic growth?
Dr. Smith: This is a common concern, but investing in green technologies and renewable energy can actually drive economic growth. According to several studies, the renewable energy sector has been one of the fastest-growing job markets. Moreover, the cost of inaction, in terms of disaster recovery and health costs, far outweighs the economic investments needed to combat climate change.
Interviewer: That’s a compelling perspective. Speaking of job markets, how do you see the role of individuals in combating climate change? What can everyday citizens do to make a meaningful impact?
Dr. Smith: Individuals play a crucial role! Simple actions like reducing waste, conserving energy, and opting for public transport can collectively lead to significant results. Additionally, supporting policies and businesses that prioritize sustainability can drive larger systemic changes. Grassroots movements have proven to be influential, and encouraging community engagement is essential.
Interviewer: It’s true, collective action can lead to substantial change. As we look towards the future, what gives you hope in this climate crisis?
Dr. Smith: Despite the challenges, I am hopeful because of the growing awareness and activism around the world. Younger generations are more informed and passionate about these issues than ever. Innovations in technology are coming at a rapid pace, and I believe that with increased collaboration across borders, we can tackle this crisis effectively.
Interviewer: That’s a reassuring outlook. Before we wrap up, what would be your message to our viewers regarding climate change?
Dr. Smith: My message would be clear: Climate change is a pressing issue that requires urgent action, but change is possible. Whether it’s through individual actions, community projects, or supporting policies that prioritize the environment, everyone has a role to play. We must all take responsibility for the planet we share.
Interviewer: Thank you, Dr. Smith, for sharing your insights and expertise with us today. It’s clear that while the challenges are significant, there’s also immense potential for positive change.
Dr. Smith: Thank you for having me. Let’s all do our part!
Interviewer: And thank you to our viewers for tuning in. Remember to stay informed and engaged in these crucial discussions. Until next time, stay safe and take care!
