This document provides an overview of desertification and policies in Bangladesh to address it. It begins with definitions of desertification and discusses driving forces of land degradation in Bangladesh such as inefficient irrigation, imbalanced fertilizer use, improper pesticide use, and unplanned rural infrastructure. Statistics are presented on desertification causes both natural and human-caused. The presentation outlines specific causes accelerating desertification in Bangladesh and lists advisory committees. It then describes seven key policies that Bangladesh has implemented to deal with environmental issues like desertification by addressing land degradation, soil erosion, deforestation, and water resources. The outputs, strategies for mitigating desertification and alleviating poverty, and actions to prevent desertification are summarized.
This presentation is targeted to the community development practitioners who are working in various field of human welfare as livelihood improvement, human health, water and sanitation, renewable energy etc. this presentation intends to expand their understanding on climate change. Climate change issues are multisectoral and require a multi-stakeholder consultation and action in order to apply adaption and mitigation schemes. It needs to be thought broadly that the problem they are addressing might be the impacts of climate change. Community development workers are the agents of change. They must start advocating on 2°C warmer world as their dissemination of information are quite effective than other means and media.
1) Adaptation to climate change involves managing risks through reducing vulnerability. Risks can be systemic like impacts on energy, agriculture, and sea level rise, or idiosyncratic. Vulnerability depends on exposure and ability to manage risks.
2) Changing behaviors to adapt requires both awareness of impacts and willingness to contribute to social goals. Factors like social norms, costs, and preferences influence willingness.
3) Civil society has an important role in leading adaptation by advising on plans and overseeing implementation. The Joint Principles for Adaptation provide guidelines for inclusive planning, accountability, flexibility, and support for vulnerable groups.
This document provides Pakistan's National Climate Change Policy framework.

Presentation on initiatives taken to combat climate change in Sri Lanka by the Climate Change Secretariat Direct Dr RDS Jayathunga at the "Framing National Adaptation Plans" workshop held in Sri Lanka in August 2014.
This document discusses the connections between plastic pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss. It argues that plastic pollution has become a planetary crisis due to the huge quantities of plastic entering the oceans each year. Most plastic pollution is invisible in the form of microplastics and nanoplastics that have broken off from larger debris. The production and degradation of plastic drives greenhouse gas emissions and is a major contributor to climate change. It also harms biodiversity through entanglement, ingestion and the introduction of toxic chemicals into ecosystems. The document calls for policymakers to address plastic pollution, climate change and biodiversity loss together as interconnected crises that threaten the stability of the planet.
Presented by Giriraj Amarnath at the National Workshop on “Use of Space Based Information for Disaster Management” Colombo, Sri Lanka, November 17, 2014
This document discusses climate change adaptation in developing countries like India. It outlines several key points:
1) Adaptation measures are important for developing countries due to their vulnerability from climate impacts on sectors like agriculture and water resources. Measures aim to build adaptive capacity.
2) India has implemented various national missions through its National Action Plan on Climate Change that incorporate both mitigation and adaptation strategies.
3) Effective adaptation requires accurate, disaggregated data collection and involvement of public, academic and community stakeholders to prioritize adaptation needs.
This document summarizes key points about climate change adaptation from a paper by Dr. Sarah Ahmed. It discusses the vulnerability of developing countries to climate change impacts, the need to enhance adaptive capacity. Adaptation measures include policy, technology, monitoring, and risk sharing. Estimates suggest adaptation will cost $86-100 billion annually by 2015. Accurate cost information is essential for policymaking but difficult to obtain. The document then outlines India's National Action Plan on Climate Change and its focus on both mitigation and adaptation through various missions and sectors. Adaptation costs in India are estimated to be 0.88-2.17% of GDP from 2004-2007.

The policy also addresses climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies in various sectors like water resources, agriculture, health, forestry and others.
The document discusses the impacts of climate change in Srikakulam district of India. It notes several changes occurring, including rising temperatures, erratic rainfall, more frequent cyclones, and declining groundwater levels. These changes are negatively affecting agriculture, fisheries, and livelihoods, particularly for vulnerable tribal communities. Migration is increasing as people search for work. The document also outlines some coping strategies communities are adopting, such as changing cropping patterns, acquiring new skills, and sustainable resource management. It argues that building community resilience through adaptation strategies, capacity building, and strengthening local governance is crucial to address these issues.
The document discusses the concepts of environment and sustainable development. It provides definitions of sustainable development from the Brundtland Commission report in 1987. The key principle of sustainable development is integrating environmental, social and economic concerns into decision making. Bangladesh faces many environmental challenges including degradation of natural resources, pollution, and climate change impacts. The country has developed policies and strategies to protect the environment but continues to face threats such as habitat loss, species extinction, and degradation of forests and biodiversity hotspots. Regional cooperation is needed to address issues like protecting the Sundarbans mangrove forest from climate change impacts.

Climate Change, sustainable development and developing countries (E)Asa Mugenyi
- Developing countries face challenges in balancing their pursuit of sustainable development goals with addressing climate change. Resources used for sustainable development are sometimes diverted to combating climate change effects.
- They lack the technology and financing to combat climate change on their own. While developed countries are major contributors to greenhouse gases, climate change still severely impacts developing countries.
- International agreements aim to promote cooperation between developed and developing countries to equitably share responsibility for climate action. However, developing countries must consider their sustainable development priorities in determining appropriate climate mitigation and adaptation strategies.
The Mekong ARCC (Adaptation and Resilience to Climate Change) group and USAID Mekong Adaptation and Resilience to Climate Change gave a presentation on community climate change adaptation plan in the lower Mekong basin. This presentation gave an overview on the impacts of climate change to the basin, the community process and approach to adaptation, results from the process, and lessons learned.
This document discusses the importance of transitioning to a green economy in the face of climate change and its impacts. It notes that climate change has resulted in many natural disasters and losses around the world. All countries need to commit to implementing green economic development strategies that use environmentally friendly materials. While international agreements like the Kyoto Protocol have addressed this issue, action and implementation has been weak due to economic interests. A green economy approach is urgently needed and all people have a right and responsibility to preserve the environment.

Kenya Case Study - FAO-UNDP Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Pl...UNDP Climate
The document provides details about Kenya's efforts to integrate agriculture into its national adaptation planning process. Some key points:
- Kenya has developed advanced national climate policies, strategies, and plans, including its National Adaptation Plan (NAP) from 2015, which supports the country's constitution and development goals.
- The NAP process in Kenya aligns with UNFCCC guidelines and focuses on reducing vulnerability and integrating adaptation into all sectors. Significant efforts have been made to implement agricultural sector interventions through frameworks like the Climate-Smart Agriculture Strategy.
- The UNDP-FAO NAP-Ag programme is working closely with six Kenyan ministries to ensure successful integration of agriculture into adaptation planning and implementation. Since 2016
Environmental management refers to a systematic approach to reducing negative environmental impacts and conserving resources like water, energy, and materials. Achieving national sustainable development goals through environmental management strategies can be difficult for several reasons. First, there is a lack of education and awareness about sustainability issues among the general public in many countries. Second, developing countries often face financial constraints that limit their ability to plan and implement sustainable practices. Third, corruption can reduce funds for sustainability projects. Achieving truly sustainable development requires strategies that consider many interconnected factors, are adaptable to changes, and have some redundancy to withstand disruptions.
The document discusses climate change in the Philippines and outlines the Philippine response. It presents the following key points:
1. The Philippines is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change.
2. The Presidential Task Force on Climate Change was created to align with global agendas, involve communities, and synchronize efforts across sectors to address both mitigation and adaptation to climate change.
3. The response involves strategies for mitigation like promoting renewable energy, adaptation like focusing on vulnerable areas, mobilizing stakeholders, and effective governance. Financial resources, technology, and lifestyle changes are essential to the response.

climate change innovation and trade in africa.docxDennisokello5
Africa is highly vulnerable to climate change due to increasing industrialization and population growth. This has led to unsustainable production and consumption practices that contribute to environmental damage and climate change through waste, pollution and carbon emissions. While Africa only contributes a small percentage of global greenhouse gas emissions, it is disproportionately impacted by climate change. Transitioning to sustainable, low-carbon solutions such as renewable energy and preserving ecosystems can help Africa combat climate change while promoting economic growth. However, achieving this will require significant international funding and collaboration to address gaps in adaptation funding.
Climate change is negatively impacting agriculture in Uganda, which provides livelihoods for over 70% of the population. Rising temperatures and shifts in rainfall patterns have led to crop failures, water shortages, and deaths of animals and people from starvation. To address this, Uganda needs financing for climate-smart agriculture practices that sustainably increase productivity while building resilience and reducing emissions. However, climate change funding is limited given other development needs. Uganda should pursue funding from international climate funds and carbon markets, working with organizations like the World Bank and FAO to implement collaborative climate action in line with its commitments under the Paris Agreement.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Richard Okibe on climate change
1. RICHARDS OKIBE Special Climate Change Unit Federal Ministry of Environment FCT – Abuja Presented by:
2. INTRODUCTION What is adaptation? Adaptation is an act of building resiliance to a problem that one doesn’t control, such as Climate change. One has to live with the problem symbiotically
3. Developing countries are most vulnerable to climate change due to: i. Low adaptive capacity ii. Growing dependence on scarce resources iii. Lack of sensitivity to change in climate
4.
5. WHY WE NEED THIS STUDY : Climate change has undermined development efforts in the developing world like Nigeria and has hit the poorest and most vulnerable sections of society thereby threatening to reverse the gains of sustainable development and additional pressure on already overstretched resources
6. KEY ECONOMIC SECTORS AFFECTED ARE: Agriculture, water, energy, health, wildlife, tourism. The majority (96%) of subsaharan African population depend on rainfed agriculture. In some countries crop yeilds are predicted to drop by 50% in 2050 while arable lands will decline by 6%. Food security and access to food will be severe in such situation hence the need for adaptation measures
7. This gathering is about water, the very essence of life. In the Cancum meeting in Mexico December 2010 some countries said that water should be included in the conference of parties for future negotiations
8. OUR EFFORT IN NIGERIA After the conference of parties meeting in Copenhegen (COP 15) in December 2009 it became neccessary for Nigeria to develop a National Climate Change Policy and Response Strategy which will go through a validation process on the 23/07/11. During the meeting, policy makers recognised the need to integrate climate change adaptation into all spheres of public policy making, especially key climate change governance issues
9. To further enhance policy makers participitation, the Federal Ministry of Environment has also started developing an adaptation framework called NASPA – National Adaptation Strategic Plan of Actions . It will be subjected to a National Stakeholders workshop to finalise the document by our development partners in which the document will then be available for public use.
10. The document considers many sectors where there is a need to build the resiliance of our people to the effects of climate change e.g. housing and other infrastructural developments in regards to adaptation measures to curb extreme weather, heat waves etc.
