"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

priorities and on project topics (LIFE multiannual work-programme
for 2014-2017 - LIFE MAWP for 2014-2017)
Average size?
1 to 5 beneficiaries; EU contribution: €500,000 to €1.5 million
Co-funding rate?
60%; NAT: for priority habitats/species: 75%
27/03/2015 21

(alkaline hydrolysis) as a technology for remediation
of pesticide contaminated soil and groundwater

26. Which subprogramme?
Environment
•Projects falling under one of
the project topics
•Climate mitigation or
adaptation is a by-product
but not the central objective
•Clear link to the specific
objectives for the three
environmental priority areas
Climate
•Climate mitigation or
adaptation is the main goal
•Clear link to the specific
objectives for the three
climate action priority areas
27. LIFE – Integrated Projects
Implementation of an EU Plan or Strategy
Water: River Basin Management Plan (RBMP)
Air: Air Quality Management Plans (AQMP)
Waste: Waste Management Plans (WMP)
Nature: Prioritised Action Frameworks (PAF)
Climate Mitigation: greenhouse gases strategies
Climate Adaptation: low carbon economy, climate resilient society
Ensure supplementary funding sources for
complementary actions, preferably EU funding
Integrate/mainstream environmental/climate policy in
other EU policies
Involve all relevant stakeholders - and think BIG!
27/03/2015 27
28. LIFE – IPs – the concept
Implementation of a Plan or Strategy means:
Ultimate goal: implementation of all elements/actions of the
plan in question
There have to be longterm commitments to implement the
entire plan in the given geographical area / cities by all relevant
actors
Not all aspects have to be covered by the LIFE IP itself
In a large geographical area/ covering a significant
number of cities
27/03/2015 28
29. IPs – the concept
Illustration of a plan/strategy implemented by the IP and by
complementary actions:
Action 1
Action 2
….
Complementary actions/measures (co-)
financed by non-LIFE funds
(EU/national/private).
LIFE Integrated Project
LIFE co-financing: Beneficiaries contribution:
60% 40%
No other EU funds used!!
27/03/2015 29
30. IP versus "traditional"
Implementation of a Plan:
The IP serves as a catalyser for the implementation
of an EU Plan from A to Z in a given region/number
of cities by providing an example of good practice
for an efficient and well coordinated implementation.
The traditional project is not directly linked to a Plan
or is simply limited to the implementation of only
one or several aspects of a Plan.
27/03/2015 30
31. IP versus "traditional" (cont.)
IP: Emphasis on co-ordinating and ensuring the
commitment of all relevant actors to implement
the whole plan (to a great part outside the IP).
"Traditional": Emphasis on concrete
conservation actions/demonstration/piloting.
Stand-alone projects, with optional links to a
Plan/Strategy
27/03/2015 31
32. Water IP example
Objective: to implement the target plan and thereby provide
flood protection, environment's capacity for water
retention, water quantity, water quality, biodiversity
and/or recreation benefits
Desired additional outcomes:
contribute to improving ecosystem services;
deliver also for N2000 in a whole river basin or large catchment
resilience to future climate change
Necessary elements: according to the target plan (incl. targeted
infrastructure investment, use of low impact measures like
green infrastructure for depollution, land management and
land use change); supplementary funding and
complementary actions outside the LIFE programme.
27/03/2015 32
33. Technical Assistance Projects (TAs)
For whom?
For those who would like to submit an IP, but need assistance in
finalising the application
For what?
Support in drafting the IP application; should be applied for a year
before the intended IP
Average size?
Maximum 1% of the allocation for IP's => maximum €100,000
Co-funding rate?
60%
27/03/2015 33
34. Preparatory projects
Topics (2014):
1) Establishing an EU NGO platform on Best Available
Techniques

(Directive 92/43/EEC)
3) Development and update of species action plans
for bird species listed in Annex I and Annex II of the
EU Birds Directive (Directive 2009/147/EC)
27/03/2015 34
35. What awaits the beneficiaries (1)
Monitoring of Project Outcomes: Follow-up on the
targeted environmental/climate outcomes related to at
least one of the relevant outcome indicators and to the
replicability/transferability of the related actions
Monitoring of Project Progress : Ensure timeliness
and full compliance of the project with the proposal
Reporting: Every 18 months technical and financial,
1 mid-term report with payment request, 1 final
report with payment request. In English; annexes in
language of the application (relevant translation
costs incurred after project start are eligible)27/03/2015 35
36. What awaits the beneficiaries (2)
Support: An external Monitoring Team (MoT) for
technical and financial FAQ related to reporting and
project management; EASME/Commission for IPs
under the sub-programme for environment for bigger
issues (modification requests, payments), but
always through MoT
Visits: MoT: first 9 months after project start, then
once a year; EASME/Commission: at most once in
the lifetime of the project, normally towards the end.
