This document lists and provides images of various beautiful places around the world, including The Springs Resort in Costa Rica, the snowy town of Kiruna in Sweden, a sunset in Girona Spain, Mount Fuji in Japan, autumn scenes in Utrecht Netherlands and the Laurentians region of Quebec, the medieval Schwerin Castle in Germany, the ocean breeze in the Maldives, storm clouds off the coast of England, beach houses in the Philippines, jacaranda trees in Sydney, and a winter scene in New York City's Central Park.
This document summarizes different types of energy resources including renewable and nonrenewable sources. It discusses that energy exists in two forms: potential and kinetic energy. The document outlines the first and second laws of thermodynamics. It provides details about nonrenewable energy sources like fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) and nuclear fuel. Fossil fuel formation and global coal production statistics are mentioned. The document also summarizes renewable energy sources including sunlight, wind, water, and geothermal. It provides examples of large solar farms, wind farms, and hydroelectric plants. Biobased energy sources from dandelion rubber and laboratory grown meat are also briefly outlined.

This document describes the Friendly Roads project in Georgia, which aims to make roads safer. It notes that road accidents are a major cause of death globally and in Georgia. The project uses a mobile phone app and web platform to allow citizens to report hazardous road infrastructure and traffic accidents. These reports are mapped and analyzed to identify "black spots" to prioritize for improvement. The goal is to involve citizens and local decision-makers to jointly resolve local traffic safety issues through a data-driven approach. Since launching, the Friendly Roads project has eliminated 15 black spots and created the first online platform for citizen-reported road hazard data in Georgia.

The document discusses the work of the Foundation Partnership for Road Safety in Georgia. It aims to reduce traffic accidents through mobilizing joint efforts across sectors. Key projects include increasing seatbelt use, youth road safety education, and monitoring air quality. Through public awareness campaigns and coalition building, seatbelt usage increased and traffic fatalities decreased between 2008 and 2011. Road hazard reporting and children's safety are also areas of focus. The foundation collaborates internationally on road safety initiatives.
The document discusses a presentation given in Tbilisi, Georgia on January 14th, 2014 about convincing decision makers to invest in integrated transportation networks. It covers the history of transportation planning in the Netherlands and trends towards more sustainable options like cycling. The presentation argues that cities should plan for people and public spaces rather than just cars and infrastructure. It then discusses strategic network planning and gives examples of how to measure and plan optimal cycling and public transit routes. Finally, it summarizes recommendations for Tbilisi including developing the transportation network, improving parking, creating public spaces, better organization, and using software and data to plan smart city initiatives.

More than 1 million people die each year in road traffic accidents, making it a leading cause of death globally and for people aged 15-29. Road accidents also cause up to 3% loss of GDP. Friendly Roads is a mobile phone and web platform that engages citizens to report hazardous road infrastructure and accidents via SMS, a mobile app, or online to create an interactive map and data visualizations. This crowd-sourced data is then used to identify and resolve local hazards, advocate for safer roads, and analyze accident hot spots. The tool is being piloted in Georgia and is available for other organizations to use to improve road safety.

The document discusses road transport and air pollution in Georgia. It describes Georgia's vehicle fleet and trends in fuel consumption from transport. It also outlines limits on ingredients in petrol, including reductions in lead, benzene, aromatic hydrocarbons, and sulphur content over time. The document notes emissions from the transport sector and their share of total emissions in Georgia in 2009. It concludes by listing some positive changes to improve transport and reduce emissions, such as improved public transport and new traffic systems.
The document summarizes the initiation of a fuel economy initiative in the South Caucasus region. It discusses the Global Fuel Economy Initiative (GFEI) and its goal to promote fuel efficiency. It then provides details on the current state of transportation and fuel usage in Georgia and the South Caucasus region. The initiative aims to develop national fuel economy plans and policies in the region through activities such as creating projections for future fuel usage, raising awareness, and holding a conference on fuel economy policies.

11. For today there is 23 Bike terminal
with 370 bicycles located in the city. In
the near future we plan to place
additional 4 terminals
14. Currently we plan to take further steps towards to introduce a more sustainable and
environmentally friendly public transport system. CNG (natural gas) buses are one of the most
perspective options.
