Earth System Challenges and a Multi-layered Approach for the Sustainable Deve...Ruben Zondervan
http://sdg.earthsystemgovernance.org/sdg/publications/earth-system-challenges-and-multi-layered-approach-sustainable-development-goals
Key messages of Policy Brief #1:
1. The Earth system has entered a new phase in which human actions are threatening the planet's life support systems and drawing down the planet's natural capital in an unsustainable manner. It is essential that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) reconfirm the commitments of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) focused on human wellbeing by alleviating poverty, enhancing food and water security, and improving health. But the SDGs must also address issues of Earth system governance and the challenge of redirecting unsustainable practices of individuals, groups, and countries worldwide.
2. The way forward is to adopt a multi-layered approach encompassing:
Global goals to maintain planetary scale processes in a safe, just and sustainable space.
Individual goals and targets framed in such a way that they can serve as focal points for a wide range of stakeholders.
Targets framed in global terms but - where possible and relevant - tailored at regional, national, local, or corporate/organizational levels to provide a menu of options allowing actors with different needs and capabilities to select those best suited for them.
Indicators and monitoring capabilities with the capacity to track change and report on progress.
3. The formulation of the SDGs offers rich opportunities to bridge gaps among sectoral silos by framing goals that are cross-cutting and integrative in nature and, if achieved, meet current needs articulated in the MDGs while ensuring that future generations can meet their own needs continuously. A well-designed performance review system, such as a "Global Sustainable Development Report" and comparable reporting mechanisms at the national level, and roles given to actors beyond national states will be essential, given the complexity of the agenda and the need for accountable implementation. For the review of SDGs, one new dimension needed is to include monitoring the key aspects of Earth system transformation.
http://sdg.earthsystemgovernance.org/sdg/publications/coherent-governance-un-and-sdgs
Key messages of Policy Brief #4:
1. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) require appropriate institutional support to integrate them effectively into institutions and practices, to coordinate activities, and to mobilize resources for implementation. The High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) can be a lead “orchestrator of orchestrators” towards these ends, but will require high-level participation, innovative modalities for North-South dialogue, and links with “intermediaries” within and outside of the UN.
2. Monitoring and review processes are crucial to ensure accountability, facilitate learning among countries and stakeholders, and incentivize implementation processes. Reviews should be systemic, science-based and multi-dimensional, and focus on commitments and actions of countries, international institutions, and non-state actors and networks. The quadrennial United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) meetings of the HLPF could consider revisions or modifications of the SDGs over time as new knowledge becomes available.
3. State-led mutual review of national sustainable development progress mandated under the HLPF could be organized around common challenges – for example countries coping with megacities or running out of water. Such reviews would provide systemic evaluations rather than focus only on specific goals. International institutions should be reviewed on their progress in mainstreaming SDGs and targets into their work programs or adequately focusing on areas unaddressed by other stakeholders. These reviews should be considered nodes in a wider system of review and accountability.
4. The new Global Sustainable Development Report (a collection of assessments and reviews by UN and other actors), part of the HLPF’s mandate to improve the science-policy interface, should not simply collect other reviews, but also bring together knowledge required to fill implementation gaps and identify cause-effect relationships and transition pathways, possibly overseen by a meta-science panel.
5. Governance of the SDGs should be designed to mobilize action and resources at multiple levels and through diverse mixes of government and non-state actors, partnerships, and action networks. This diversity in means of implementation must be balanced by state-led mechanisms to ensure accountability, responsibility, coherence and capacity to incentivize long-term investments for sustainable development.
Integrating Governance into the Sustainable Development GoalsRuben Zondervan
http://sdg.earthsystemgovernance.org/sdg/publications/integrating-governance-sustainable-development-goals
Key messages of Policy Brief #3:
1. Governance must be a crucial part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, there are also different ways of integrating key aspects of governance into the SDGs. Much of the discussions for the SDGs has revolved around either having a stand-alone governance goal or integrating governance into other goals on specific issues (e.g. goals on poverty reduction, water, food).
2. Three aspects of governance need to be considered: good governance (the processes of decisionmaking and their institutional foundations), effective governance (the capacity of countries to pursue sustainable development), and equitable governance (distributive outcomes). While these three different aspects have a number of connections between them, the three aspects will require separate political efforts. To most fully integrate governance into the SDGs, it is important to take account of all three aspects of governance when shaping the goals and targets.
3. If governance was addressed as a stand-alone SDG, then this would offer the best opportunity to comprehensively incorporate all three aspects of governance into a post-2015 development agenda. However, because of existing indicators of governance and actor coalitions organized around specific issues, the risk remains that good governance might be privileged over effective governance or equitable governance.
4. Conversely, if governance is integrated into issue-specific goals, then this would offer opportunities to build from existing policy experience about how different governance arrangements shape relevant outcomes. While this strength is important, pursuing governance in this manner is less likely to be comprehensive. Awareness of this limitation will be important in spurring creative and ambitious governance targets on all issues in the SDGs.
Linking Education and Water in the Sustainable Development GoalsRuben Zondervan
http://sdg.earthsystemgovernance.org/sdg/publications/linking-education-and-water-sustainable-development-goals
Key messages of Policy Brief #2:
1. In the development of the post-2015 development agenda, the water-education nexus offers opportunities for dealing with a variety of different sustainable development challenges including: inequity in education, disaster recovery, and local mobilization.
2. In order to respond to water-related sustainability challenges, people worldwide need to acquire "water literacy." The term is used here to refer to appropriate knowledge about various aspects of water use and management in order to ensure safer water consumption and to contribute to Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). We believe that water literacy can be acquired by obtaining basic literacy competencies and a certain level of education.
3. In order to create opportunities for people to gain the knowledge and skills they need so that they can respond effectively to water-related sustainability challenges, it is essential that government representatives and other stakeholders acquire an accurate understanding of water-related issues and that systems be established for implementing concrete measures.
Sustainable Development Goals and Inclusive DevelopmentRuben Zondervan
http://sdg.earthsystemgovernance.org/sdg/publications/sustainable-development-goals-and-inclusive-development
Key messages of Policy Brief #5:
1. Social goals tend to be marginalized in the implementation of sustainable development while economic growth is prioritized often also at the cost of ecological goals. Many of these development issues are essentially distributional issues. These distributional challenges will be exacerbated by the need to limit the environmental utilization space (ecospace) on Earth and the consequent challenge of how this space will be equitably and inclusively shared among countries and people. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the proposed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and targets developed by the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals (OWG) against criteria for inclusive development.
2. Inclusive development principles, tools, and evaluation criteria for the proposed SDGs fall into three clusters: inclusive development per sé; inclusive development in the context of the Anthropocene; and inclusive development from a relational perspective.
3. Regarding inclusive development per sé, the SDGs currently proposed do not provide guidance to establish targets that would build capacity for the most marginalized populations so that they can learn about and access SDG-related opportunities. In the context of the Anthropocene, the SDGs neither adequately address ecosystemic limits nor the allocation of responsibilities, rights, and risks among countries and peoples in relation to fixed and diminishing resources. From a relational perspective, the wording of the OWG document lacks balance; it focuses more on effects than root causes. For example, while the document focuses on enhancing the rights of women and girls and ending gender disparities, it does not have a corresponding discussion on the policy instruments needed for dealing with the relations between men and women with respect to these rights.
4. These governance issues can be addressed by developing context-relevant, appropriate targets and indicators, but this will require exceptional steering and leadership to ensure their successful implementation.
The workshop was organized by the United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS), the Earth System Governance Project and the POST2015 project (hosted by Tokyo Institute of Technology and sponsored by Ministry of Environment, Japan). It brought together international scholars and practitioners with expertise on global environmental governance to discuss some key questions relating to the governance of, and governance for, the post-2015 development agenda. The scope of the workshop was the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with particular focus on how integrated SDGs (of the development and environmental agenda) could be governed in the post-2015 era.

Event bus, message passing, and async execution are concepts that are getting more and more popular for server-side applications. JacpFX brings this approach to the client, combining JavaFX with an actorlike component model. It is an UI application framework based on JavaFX, supporting developers in structuring applications with loosely coupled, reusable components. It frees you from the pitfalls of traditional multithreaded programming, helping you separate the task execution from UI changes in your client application. Furthermore, this component model works well with common communication technologies such as WebSocket, SSE, and JMS.

leased (NNN) assets. Lease terms, rents, expense structures, location, market conditions, tenant
credit, lease guarantees, and environmental indemnifications are all important factors in determining
what the national or regional real estate investor market will pay for triple net leased sites. When a
transaction is structured properly, the real estate investment market will assign substantially higher
value for the same retail real estate (site & facilities only) portfolio than does the petroleum and/or
c-store industry operator.
A day-by-day, updated understanding of the investment real estate market is critical. With
investment sales volume exceeding $12 billion and a record $2.04 billion in 2012 alone, our experience
is unmatched in the industry. Because we deal solely in triple net lease properties we maintain an
insider’s perspective and can provide forward thinking strategies based upon tenant credit analysis,
comparable sales, and current trends in the market.
We work with the largest number of qualified prospects by leveraging our current and previous
marketing campaigns during which we engage active buyers, sellers, and industry professionals
nationwide. In the marketplace, traditional commercial and business brokers generally do not have a
comparable breath of experience or relationships.
We analyze and methodically detail opportunities to create selling and buying strategies. We
move through the assembly of due diligence packages while addressing environmental issues, fuel
supply agreement opportunities, and franchise agreement assignments. We aggressively implement
our national and regional marketing plans while we follow and qualify all the leads that we generate. We
move the transaction through any financing issues and manage the components in the escrow closing
process.
