The Brundtland Commission, formally the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED), known by the name of its Chair Gro Harlem Brundtland, was convened by the United Nations in 1983. The commission was created to address growing concern "about the accelerating deterioration of the human environment and natural resources and the consequences of that deterioration for economic and social development." In establishing the commission, the UN General Assembly recognized that environmental problems were global in nature and determined that it was in the common interest of all nations to establish policies for sustainable development.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

17. Seven Approaches by Prof Jules Pretty
Ecologist
• 1. Integrated pest management (IPM), which uses
ecosystem resilience and diversity for pest, disease and
weed control, and seeks only to use pesticides when other
options are ineffective
• 2. Integrated nutrient management, which seeks both to
balance the need to fix nitrogen within farm systems with
the need to import inorganic and organic sources of
nutrients, and to reduce nutrient losses through erosion
control
• 3. Conservation tillage, which reduces the amount of
tillage, sometimes to zero, so that soil can be conserved
and available moisture used more efficiently.
18. Seven Approaches by Prof Jules Pretty
Ecologist
• 4. Agroforestry, which incorporates multifunctional trees into
agricultural systems, and collective management of nearby forest
resources
• 5. Aquaculture, which incorporates fish, shrimps and other aquatic
resources into farm systems, such as into irrigated rice fields and
fishponds, and so leads to increases in protein production
• 6. Water harvesting in dry land areas, which can mean formerly
abandoned and degraded lands can be cultivated, and additional
crops grown on small patches of irrigated land owing to better
rainwater retention.
• 7. Livestock integration into farming systems, such as dairy cattle,
pigs, and poultry, including using zero-grazing cut and carry
systems.
19. Prof Pretty says ecological production
system exhibts the following attributes
• Utilising crop varieties and livestock breeds with a high ratio of
productivity to use of externally- and internally-derived inputs. ii.
Avoiding the unnecessary use of external inputs. iii. Harnessing agro
ecological processes such as nutrient cycling, biological nitrogen
fixation, allelopathy, predation and parasitism. iv. Minimising use of
technologies or practices that have adverse impacts on the
environment and human health. v. Making productive use of human
capital in the form of knowledge and capacity to adapt and
innovate, and social capital to resolve common landscape-scale
problems. vi. Quantifying and minimising the impacts of system
management on externalities such as greenhouse gas emissions,
availability of clean water, carbon sequestration, biodiversity, and
dispersal of pests, pathogens and weeds.

25. Benefits of Agro ecology
• An increase in food availability and improved nutrition– higher yields led to greater
access to food throughout the year and more diverse sources of food led to
increased nutritional security for children and all members of the farmer
household
• Increase in household income – organic and ecological agriculture had a positive
impact on reducing poverty, with smallholders saving money through less fertilizer
and pesticide use, extra income from selling surpluses, and adding value through
processing
• Increase in education, skills, health – all farmers gained increased knowledge of
ecological methods, health benefits from more nutritious food, and greater
resilience to external threats such as droughts, floods and landslides
• Benefits to community – the formation of farmers’ groups and co-operatives
lowered costs and increased knowledge and trust amongst farmers
• Infrastructure improvements – 40% reported improvements to physical
infrastructure (e.g. transport and communications) and greater access to markets
• Benefits to natural environment – all but one of the cases reported benefits to soil
fertility, water retention and supply, flood control and biodiversity.
26. Case study 1:
• Allai Valley, Pakistan An ecological and organic agriculture-
focused initiative to rehabilitate the remote and rugged
earthquake-hit Allai Valley near the Karakorum Highway in
the Pakistani Himalayas has transformed the environment,
food security, livelihoods and social relations of 172,000
poor inhabitants of this mountain valley since 2007.71 The
highly-mountainous Allai Valley in Battagram in northern
Pakistan was devastated by a powerful earthquake in 2005,
and much of the destruction was exacerbated by
environmental degradation – such as soil erosion and
deforestation caused by illegal logging – which led to
widespread and lethal landslides during the earthquake
27. • Against a backdrop of extremely high rates of poverty,
deprivation and food insecurity, and traditionally
governed along feudal lines and by powerful clerics
and under an especially strict version of Sunni Islam
(many women were secluded through purdah and not
allowed to visit relatives, for example), the Partnership
for Recovery and Development of Allai (PRDA) worked
through the Sungi Development Foundation to set up a
village-based movement to help repair and reforest the
valley and to diversify livelihoods and food security
options through an integrated range of low-cost
ecological-based agricultural systems and approaches.
28. Knowledge Through Demonstration
• Working through a new network of 437 both male and female-
governed Village Committees, thousands of men and significantly
women smallholders improved their ecological and organic farming
skills and knowledge through on-farm demonstration plots and
thousands of ecological farming skills training sessions and farmer-
to-farmer knowledge visits and exchanges.72 Moving away from
simply mono-cropping rice and wheat and transporting key produce
and vegetables into the Allai Valley, the villagers set up 35 women-
managed local-variety seed banks and learnt to use cow-dung and
yeast-based bio-fertilizers and local wood-ash, tobacco and chilli-
based bio-pesticides to diversify into growing year-round organic
vegetables in home gardens and for markets to generate income
(such as broccoli, spinach, turnip, potatoes, tomatoes, okra, French
beans and peas).
29. Care to Honey bee
• They also revived traditional and pesticide-free wild
honeybee keeping, established fruit orchards, agro-forestry,
poultry-rearing and peasantries, introduced Mott grass as
fodder, replanted over a million native and soil-binding
trees, tidied up 10 food bazaar markets, set up the fair
trade-based Sungi Organics private enterprise and moved
into organically-certified commercial horticulture and
floriculture (such as brinjal, walnuts, garlic and gladiolus)
and coaxed others out of illegal logging and into growing
high-value crops, and reduced the previously endemic use
of cutting down local torchwood for lighting and firewood
by establishing 18 micro hydro-electric generators to supply
electricity after dark.
30. Empowers small producers
• The initiative has had a remarkable impact. Most significantly, the
emergence of thousands of poor and secluded women into the
governance structures and participatory development of the Allai
Valley has been radically transformative for social and cultural
relations. Farm profits and productivity, food security, nutrition,
health and education outcomes, employment opportunities,
livelihoods, the environment and soil health have all improved
considerably, according to recent assessments of the PRDA.73
Vegetable cultivation has expanded by 1,000 acres in the valley,
80% of households now cultivate their own vegetables, and maize
and rice yields have increased by 15-20% under improved organic
methods, according to the Sungi Development Foundation.74
31. Agro-ecology increases climate
resilience
• Evidence indicates that agro-ecology farming improves
resilience to climate change. Climate change means more
extreme weather-related events. According to the
International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the likely
changes in weather patterns related to global warming are:
• Contraction of snow-covered areas and shrinking of sea ice
• Sea level rises and higher water temperature
• ƒIncreased frequency of hot extremes and heat waves ƒ
• Heavy precipitation events and an increase in areas
affected by droughts floods and landslides ƒ
• Increased intensity of tropical cyclones (typhoons and
hurricanes)1
32. Agro ecology
• Farmer-to-farmer learning and training and farmer field
schools have been proven to reduce pesticide use and
instead disseminate and replace external inputs with
continuous learning and valuable farmer knowledge. The
success of SRI and push-pull systems are largely due to
demonstration of fields managed by lead or model farmers
and partnerships with national research institutes
• Social capital – in the form of groups termed community,
participatory, joint, de-centralized and co-management –
are considered a prerequisite for the adoption of
sustainable behaviors, such as agro-ecology. States can
support and build on these grassroots networks and
initiatives, and some have done so to varying degrees
33. Conclusion
• Governments must also ensure key public goods,
such as effective rural extension services, access
to plant genetic resources and biodiversity,
storage and transport facilities, rural
infrastructure (roads, electricity, information and
communications technologies), access to local
and regional markets, affordable credit and crop
insurance, and smallholder-focused agricultural
research and development, rural education and
support to farmers’ organizations and
cooperatives.1
