“Winning ugly” refers to a competitive approach where athletes or

teams prioritise victory over aesthetics, sportsmanship, or

spectator appeal. It can involve highly defensive play, slowing the

pace, tactical fouling, time-wasting, excessive appealing,

psychological intimidation, and pushing rules to their limits. The

style is often paired with visible aggressiveness, confrontational

behaviour, outspoken trash talk, and actions that provoke

opponents or officials to gain a competitive edge.

Food labelling rules typically govern the use of product names, nutritional claims, origin indicators, and marketing descriptors, and are often justified on grounds of consumer protection, public health, and fair competition. In the case of TofuTown.com , the court held that purely plant-based products (eg. "soy milk", "vegan cheese") may not be marketed using dairy designations, eg. “milk,” “butter,” or “cheese,” as EU law reserves these terms for animal-derived products.

Plant-based producers argue that familiar terminology helps consumers understand how products are used and supports innovation in alternative, sustainable food systems. The issue has become increasingly relevant due to the growth of the environmental movement, which promotes plant-based diets as a response to climate change, biodiversity loss, and animal welfare concerns.

GMO foods are produced from crops whose DNA has been altered using genetic engineering to express specific traits (e.g., pest resistance, herbicide tolerance, drought resistance). Common examples include soybeans, maize, and cotton.

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) are technologies that involve capturing carbon dioxide emissions and storing them underground to prevent their release into the atmosphere. CCS/CCUS is promoted as a tool for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors (for eg. cement, steel, and fossil fuel-based energy). Norway’s Northern Lights is a CCS project that aims to transport and permanently store CO₂ beneath the North Sea.

Often, CCS projects are also utilized in generating carbon credits that help companies offset their corporate emissions.

While widespread utilization of CCS technologies may help meet climate targets, the technology is costly. Many say this may also entrench fossil fuel dependence rather than incentivize a full transition to renewable energy.
