Wellness for Peace: Climate Change Peace Building Adaptation, Peace Vigil Contribution to United Nation’s World Peace Day by Ms. Zara Jane Juan, Internet Journalist & Peace Ambassador
United Nations International Day of Peace Philippines Peace Vigil 2011, Sailing for Peace

Definition of Terms:
Wellness = human discipline to achieve balance in his/her lifestyle
Peace Vigil = be concerned on the freedom from strife
United Nation’s International Day of Peace =
Climate Change = United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change defines climate change as "a change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is in addition to natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods.” Used especially in the context of environmental policy, climate change is synonymous with anthropogenic global warming.

Why a need for Peace Vigil on
Wellness for Peace to work for
Climate Change Peace Building Adaptation ?
Greenhouse effect occurs as a result of greenhouse gases as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorinated gases trapping the sun’s heat and keeping it close to the earth.
When trees are cut down, they’re no longer take carbon dioxide out of the air, and actually release carbon dioxide as they decay or burn.
more heat is “trapped” and global temperatures rise producing climate change. This causes significant changes in the timing and length of the seasons as well as the amount and frequency of rain (precipitation). (IPCC 2007)
Warming of the Earth

Why a need for Peace Vigil on Wellness for Peace to work for
In its 2007 report to the United Nations, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that more than 90 percent warming of the past 50-60 years is due to human contributions.
One of the biggest ways people contribute to greenhouse gases is by burning fossil fuels. We use coal, oil, and natural gas to generate electricity, heat our homes, power our factories, and run our cars, etc
Activities that contribute to greenhouse gas levels:
Burning fossil fuels – oil, gasoline, gas and coal
Industrial processes and mining
Landfills, septic and sewer systems
Agricultural practices, including fertilizer and manure management
Land use practices, including deforestation (cutting of trees, etc)

Why a need for Peace Vigil on Wellness for Peace to work for
The International Agreement for Climate Change is the Kyoto Protocol (16 February 2005) = an amendment to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Countries that have ratified this protocol have committed to reduce their emissions of carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases, or engage in emissions trading if they maintain or increase emissions of these gases. The first phase of this protocol will expire in 2012
The United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen happened last December 2009

What are the soci0-economic effects of Climate Change?
In “A Climate of Conflict”, The links between Climate Change, Peace and War
International Alert Report 2007 by Dan Smith & Janani Vivekananda says that hardest hit by climate change will be people living in poverty, in under-developed and unstable states, under poor governance.
It added that the effect of physical consequences – such as more frequent extreme weather, melting glaciers, and shorter growing seasons – will add to the pressures under which those societies already live. The background of poverty and bad governance means many of these communities both have a low capacity to adapt to climate change and face a high risk of
violent conflict.

The four key elements at risk:
1. Political Instability
2. Economic Weakness
3. Food Insecurity
4. Large Scale Migration


The double-headed problem of climate change and violent conflict thus has a unified solution – peace building and adaptation are effectively the same kind of activity, involving the same kinds of methods of dialogue and social engagement, requiring from governments the same values of inclusivity and transparency.
At the same time as adaptation to climate change can and must be made conflict-sensitive, peace building and development must be made climate-sensitive.

The links between Climate Change, Peace and War
International Alert Report 2007
Dan Smith; Janani Vivekananda

PEACE BUILDING approach to Climate Change is engaging communities’ energies in a social process to work out on how to adapt to climate change and how to handle conflicts as they arise, so that they do not become violent. It is an approach that brings the hard science of climate change – which local communities do not and cannot be expected to know in the first instance, and which must be communicate clearly – together with local knowledge and understanding to figure out the best mode of adaptation.

International Alert Report 2007
Dan Smith; Janani Vivekananda


The government cannot take on the task of taking the adaptation alone. Some government lacks the will, more lack the capacity, and some lack both. What is required is international cooperation to support local action.
Climate change could even reconcile otherwise divided communities by posing a threat against which to unite and task on which to cooperate.

PEACE BUILDING

Biological Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide
Fertilizing the ocean with micronutrients. For instance, parts of the ocean are rich in nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus but low in iron, and as a result, low in phytoplankton. Adding even small amounts of iron can allow the plankton to grow and fix carbon dioxide.
Encourage organic farming practices. Not only do organically rich soils sequester CO2, they also have higher crop yields and lower fertilizer input requirements
Plant trees in idle lands
Start urban farming in schools & in own space
To learn more, join a non-sectarian, non-political &
nature-friendly environmental groups in your area

Be open to the idea of Shifting to Renewable Energy: e.gWind Energy:
Contributes to 1% of global electricity production
one of the fastest growing energy sectors
capacity of wind generation grew by about 25% globally in 2006
huge potential for electricity generation
if harnessed, could supply all of electricity needs
but is not an entirely dependable resource, using existing infrastructure wind power is expected to supply no more than 20% of electricity needs in any given region
needs further development e.g. if wind power were stored in the form of hydrogen, pumped water, compressed air, or other means, it could have greater share of energy production.
More information: World Wind Energy Association

Be open to the idea of Shifting to Renewable Energy: e.gSolar Energy:
Solar Electricity
0.01% of total Global primary energy production
Generation of electricity from the sun can be accomplished either by concentrating solar heat and using steam to generate electricity, or using solar photo-voltaic panels, the majority of the growth is in the latter technology.
Solar Thermal
"passive solar,“ the power of the sun used to heat buildings.
Solar hot water heaters have a very significant presence in China, 70-80% of the solar hot water heating market, and in Germany, Greece, and Austria.

Be open to the idea of Shifting to Renewable Energy: e.gHydro Electric Power:
Small hydro projects, especially "run of the river" hydro-electric generation (without reservoirs), offer the greatest potential for new climate-friendly capacity instead of large hydro projects shown to have significant greenhouse gas emissions due to methane emissions

Be open to the idea of Shifting to Renewable Energy: e.gOcean Power:
Tidal Power
very old form of power used along the coasts of western Europe in the Middle Ages
1960s, tidal dam was built in Brittany, France & has operated successfully for over 30 years. Deep marine currents, driven by tidal movements, offer a very stable energy source with low environmental impacts, but the technology has been very little studied.
Wave Power
pilot projects around the world: Portugal, United States, South Africa, etc and without any major commercial application yet. Wave power is most commonly harnessed several km out from shore, where the waves are most consistent.
More information: World Energy Council

Be open to the idea of Shifting to Renewable Energy: e.gBiofuels:
Fast-growing & very controversial because two key questions remain unclear: Do biofuels provide more energy than it takes to grow, harvest and transform them? And, is there enough land available for biofuels to grow any meaningful quantity?

Wellness in Mind
Develop and Promote the Energy Conservation Habit anywhere, everywhere, anytime, all the time!
driving less by scheduling trips or joining carpool, etc.
greening of homes for better insulation
light only the area where you are w/ energy saving light
Reuse, recycle
don’t use plastic bags
buy groceries in big packaging & learn to budget it instead of buying small items to lessen plastic wrappers, etc
monitor your waste and stop buying unnecessary items to lessen garbage
segregate waste @ home, @ work, @ school, anywhere
maximize the power of the sun & air to your advantage
conserve water
walk if you can instead of taking rides
stop the 24/7 monitoring of TV, radio, internet unless its your job to do so, choose suitable programs
And so many more, to summarize it, is to go back to “just a basic” lifestyle

Wellness in Body
Stretch, Strengthen, Detox & Nourish!
Eat Foods to Medicate not to Overweight!
Confront Lifestyle Diseases via Holistic Lifestyle Habit
Detoxify & Nourish Body thru Food Pyramid & Colors of the Plate
Manage Stress as part of Personality Development
Promote daily exercise, sports, yoga, etc

Wellness in Spirit
Develop a Holistic Peaceful Personality for the Changing Climate.

Climate Change Situation in the Philippines
The Philippines as an archipelago is considered a climate hotspot and is ranked 4th in the Global Climate Risk Index, with 20 out of 80 provinces vulnerable to one-meter rise in sea level. These provinces are in regions – ARMM (Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao), Zamboanga Peninsula, Eastern Visayas , & Bicol region – with the highest poverty incidence and greatest food insecurity in the Philippines, it is in these areas where a festering insurgency and long-running conflict have taken hold.
