Sources and correspondence indicate an administrative failure at the Democratic Republic of Congo's customs platform may prevent major Congolese cobalt producers from fulfilling 1H export quotas, risking loss of part of those quotas. The disruption could hit global battery-grade cobalt shipments; at current prices up to about 20,000 tonnes of cobalt — roughly $1.1 billion — may be unable to be exported.

根據彭博社報道,由於租約條款和嚴格的地方議會規劃準則,數以百萬計的英國公寓業主無法安裝太陽能電池板、熱泵和空調。地方議會規劃準則要求優先考慮被動降溫而非機械空調,導致居民無法對房屋進行既必要又能節省開支的升級改造。而租約條款涉及產權問題:租賃者通常無權對建築物的外牆結構或屋頂進行改造。 在歐洲遭遇破紀錄熱浪的當下,空調成了矛盾核心。在英國,升級安裝空調等主動降溫設備有時可能違反“淨零排放”政策;該政策規定,在允許使用機械設備之前,必須先充分利用“被動降溫”手段(如風扇、通風設施)。
