Roadmap for moving to a low-carbon economy by 2050Leonardo ENERGY
If global warming is to be held below 2°C compared to pre-industrial times, then all major economies will need to make deep emissions reductions. By 2050, the European Union could cut most of its greenhouse gas emissions. The European Commission has looked at cost-efficient ways to make the European economy more climate-friendly and less energy-consuming. With its Roadmap for moving to a competitive low-carbon economy in 2050, the European Commission has looked beyond short-term objectives and set out a cost-effective pathway for achieving much deeper emission cuts by the middle of the century.
The Roadmap is the main long-term policy initiative put forward to move the EU towards using resources in a sustainable way. It states that, by 2050, the EU should cut its emissions to 80% below 1990 levels through domestic reductions alone. It sets out milestones which form a cost-effective pathway to this goal - reductions of 40% by 2030 and 60% by 2040. It also shows how the main sectors responsible for Europe's emissions - power generation, industry, transport, buildings and construction, as well as agriculture - can make the transition to a low-carbon economy most cost-effectively.

Etude PwC Low Carbon Economy Index (oct. 2015)PwC France
L'année 2014 a marqué un tournant en matière de réduction des émissions de carbone dans les économies du G20. C’est ce que révèle le cabinet d’audit et de conseil PwC dans la 7ème édition de son étude annuelle « Low carbon Economy index », qui modélise l'intensité carbone des grandes économies – à savoir les émissions des gaz à effet de serre liées à la consommation d'énergie par million de dollars de PIB. En effet, l'intensité carbone a chuté de 2,7% en 2014, soit sa plus forte baisse depuis 2000.
La France fait office d’exemple : elle a réduit son intensité carbone de plus de 9% en 2014, ce qui représente la 2ème plus forte réduction des pays du G20, juste derrière le Royaume-Uni (- 10,9%).
The role of the public sector leadership in reducing emissions should be key. The presentation focuses on how the public sector, including government, must go further faster, to mobilise action across sectors by setting best practice examples.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.
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.

Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.
"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.

The Climate Change Act
4. 4
Yesterday, the Committee published its latest advice to
Parliament on progress in reducing UK emissions
• It is the first combined Progress Report:
– UK progress against requirements to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
– UK progress to prepare for climate change that is underway
• The advice is provided in context of developments in:
– Science: widespread evidence for climate change caused by human activities
– Risks: Increased evidence of specific risks to the UK from flooding, higher
temperatures and food and international security
– Opportunities: to reduce costs to households and businesses by increasing
certainty about future action
• International context: December negotiations in Paris in which UK wants a global deal
and needs to demonstrate it is acting domestically to meet its own commitments
6. 6
UK greenhouse gas emissions fell by 8% in 2014; they
are now below the level required to meet the 2nd
carbon budget (2013-17)
7. 7
But the 8% fall cannot be interpreted as a permanent shift to
a low emission path. For example, part of the reduction
reflects relatively high winter temperatures in 2014….
…. part reflects increased renewables… but part reflects one-off
changes…
8. 8
Uncertainties over future policy means action will be
required to remain on the cost effective path in power…
Power sector – gap to cost-effective path
12. 12
Many low-carbon policies and funding streams have no
certainty beyond next few years. So this Parliament will
determine the rate of progress to 2030
Investment:
– Policies and funding streams
provide no certainty beyond this
Parliament
– creates significant risks
Future options & innovation:
– Need to signal future market to

– Role of government to address
barriers to choices and

Committee makes specific recommendations for each
sector.
• Power sector:
– Ensure sector can plan in line with its investment cycle, including extend LCF to 2025
– Provide clarity for future offshore wind market
– Set approach to CCS beyond projects current two projects, including CO2 infrastructure
• Buildings:
– Action plan for low-carbon heat, including future of RHI
– Set out future beyond Energy Company Obligation that considers energy efficiency and
fuel poverty
– Approach to zero carbon homes cannot be weakened further
• Transport:
– Maintain upfront support for EVs (to reach competitive pricing)
– Appropriate gCO2/km target for 2030
15. 15
Committee’s assessment to date
• Supplies of sustainable bioenergy important to meeting the 2050 emissions
reduction target
• Within this, there is significant potential bioenergy supply from waste. Waste
sources and wet agricultural residues could provide equivalent to around 3% of total
UK primary energy demand in 2050
• Given limits to global supplies of sustainable bioenergy, it is important that this is
used optimally:
• Ultimately reflects long-term best uses
• Keeps options open, e.g. to respond to technology breakthroughs
• Helps reduce emissions cost-effectively in the near term, provided lock-in is
limited
• For AD, longer-term priorities likely to be around use in industry and biomethane
injection into gas grid
16. 16
Next steps
• Government response to progress report– 15 October
• 5th Carbon budget advice (2028 – 2032) – by end of year
• In that context, if you have views to feed in, we would be
happy to receive them
