Aren’t you glad it’s not Covid-89?

Written by Peter Edwards Editor, Global Cement Magazine
16 June 2020

The Covid-19 pandemic is unprecedented in modern times, both in terms of its effects on individual health and the global economy. While SARS, MERS, Swine Flu and Ebola outbreaks have been devastating for those affected, there has not been a full-blown pandemic since 1918 - 1919.1 Thankfully, we are extremely unlikely to reach the estimated 50 million deaths seen due to that pandemic during the current outbreak, although the situation remains very bad indeed.

What do the lockdown and climate goals have in common?

Written by Peter Edwards Editor, Global Cement Magazine

As one of the 4.5 billion people on earth currently under some form of coronavirus-related lockdown, I have seen a lot of my local area recently.

Ever tried ‘stone soup’?

Written by Robert McCaffrey, Editorial Director, Global Cement Magazine
25 February 2020

One of my New Year’s Resolutions was perhaps a strange one: If there is a moment at which I could either shake someone’s hand, or not, then I should default to shaking their hand.
