Over the last 4 billion years known history of earth, nature has not wasted even one drop of water. We can learn from nature and try to establish zero-waste compassionate circular free market economies. Islamic finance must play a central role in such a transformation.
This is a group work carried out in the field of economics of sustainability. It looked at hidden cost and externalities. Also tried to appraise the emergence of carbon economics and carbon tax systems.
Science has learnt from natural laws tremendously; nature doesn't waste but economics is build around a paradigm of extract, produce, use and waste. A zero-waste circular economy paradigm will be consistent with natural laws and offers hopes for a sustainable world. We discuss the various aspects of this optimistic prospect.
Prospects for REDD+ in swidden landscapesCIFOR-ICRAF
Abstract of the research referred to in this presentation: The mosaic swidden landscapes with forests, fallows, and fields of northern Laos are undergoing rapid land use change as intensified agriculture and plantations are expanding. This may occur at the expense of older forests, but it is mostly secondary regrowth that is removed and not allowed to grow back to forest. This happens as a response to: 1) land allocation policies that restrict swidden systems to very short fallow cycles; 2) economic policies promoting investment in cash crops and land development; and 3) the uneven enforcement of land policies. We show how contradicting land and economic policies in Laos cause deforestation and forest degradation, with local people as both potential winners and losers. Based on interviews with villages and district, provincial and national level government staff, we argue that successful REDD+ will be difficult to achieve in the current policy environment. Moreover, as local people seize every opportunity to increase their well-being, REDD+ without substantial local payments will not be competitive with other land use activities. A strong focus on the multiple benefits of non-carbon ecosystem services will have to be developed in conjunction with REDD+ to spare the mosaic swidden landscapes that provide these services.
This presentation was given by Ole Mertz at the IUFRO conference in Beijing, China that was held from October 24-27, 2016.
Declaración para Rio+20: 63 laureados de medio ambiente de 37 paises piden a los gobiernos en Rio+20 ser pioneros del cambio y la inovación social.
Declaration on Rio+20: 63 Environmental Laureates from 37 countries ask governments in Rio+20 to be pioneers and and social innovators.
What does a green economy look like? How do we get there? What are the principles that need to guide the transition? Oliver Greenfield from the Green Economy Coalition gives an insight into the conversations going on at the global level on green economy.
The scramble for land and land-related resources by powerful actors engenders various resistance and challenges by peoples’ organizations, social movements, and activists committed to the advancement of the rural poor’s fundamental rights to the natural ‘commons’ and livelihood resources. Southeast Asia boasts of diverse and numerous movements and organizations committed to social and economic justice. In this presentation, Mary Ann shares some of the trends around land and resource grabbing-- including the dominant governance model: mechanisms, actors, experiences, and impacts, that is ‘transforming’ rural Southeast Asia, and resistance struggles, including key demands and alternative perspectives/visions.
Mary Ann Manahan is a program officer with Focus on the Global South-Philippines Programme. She joined Focus in 2003 and works on the Reclaiming the Commons programme, with focus on land, water, social and environmental justice and gender issues. Her work combines activism, research, advocacy and campaigning

Findings of the sixth Global Environment OutlookKisrak Albahr
each slide in this presentation will have a learning objective presented. The purpose is to identify the main message that the presenter should be trying to convey with the slide and also to stress that we are trying to transfer knowledge, not simply raise awareness. In the transfer of knowledge there should retention of that knowledge so that eventually there may be action taken with that new knowledge. Awareness raising, on the other hand, may not lead to action being taken because the knowledge is not retained as readily.
For this slide, the presenter should be trying to convey appreciation their appreciation for the opportunity provided and also that the presentation provides a very high-level overview of the findings from the larger 700 page report, therefore some of the details may be lost.
Another key learning objective of the presentation is that, although GEO-6 presents quite a lot of negative information about the state of the environment, the overall thrust of the publication is optimistic and solutions-oriented, much like the cover of the publication, which tries to portray the sustainable world that we might all be living in by 2050.
Proposed speaking points
Thank you colleagues and I’d like to thank European Council for their generous invitation to review together the findings of the Global Environment Outlook.
I’d like to remind everyone that this is an overview of the main findings from the 700-page report and therefore we won’t really go into the finer details of the findings. Perhaps these can be covered in the question and answer session that will follow.
I’d like to first ask everyone to reflect on the cover of GEO-6. We have tried to provide a vision of what a sustainable world might look like in 2050 using this cover. Our hope is that readers might focus more on the positive and solutions-oriented messages in the report rather than the negative messages about the current state of our environment. We hope that you can each ‘imagine this world’ by looking at our cover, since this is the first step in achieving this world.

Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

6. Paris Climate Agreement (PCA)
• December 2015: 195 countries adopted the first-ever universal,
legally binding global climate deal
• Sets out a global action plan to:
– limit global warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels &
pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5°C;
– strengthen societies' ability to deal with the impacts of climate change
– align financial flows with a pathway towards low-carbon and climate-
resilient development
• Countries submitted national climate
action plans.
– These are not enough to keep global
warming below 2°C
7. PCA - European Union Perspective
• Key targets the EU adopted under PCA for 2030:
– At least 40% cuts in greenhouse gas emissions (from 1990 levels)
– At least 32% share for renewable energy
– At least 32.5% improvement in energy efficiency
• To achieve it, the EU needs to spend an estimated additional €180bn a year
– adding the goals for the energy, transport, water and waste sector as a
whole, this number rises to €270bn.
• Action plan adopted by the EC March 2018 has 3 main objectives:
– reorient capital flows towards sustainable investment to achieve sustainable
and inclusive growth
– manage financial risks stemming from climate change, environmental
degradation and social issues
– foster transparency and long-termism in financial & economic activity
“Moving to a greener and more sustainable economy is good for job creation,
good for people, and good for the planet.” Frans Timmermans, First VP, EU

20. Food – Feeding More People, Safely, Sustainably
• Food scares
• Traceability
• Logistics
• Move away from meat
• Protein & animal feed
21. Agriculture
• 2 billion people worldwide depend on subsistence or smallholder
agriculture
• Agroecosystems comprise 30-40% of the Earth’s land surface
• soil is being lost 100 times more quickly than it is being formed in
plowed areas, and lost 10-20 times faster even on fields that are
not tilled
Opportunities
• Rising consumption
• Land
• Urban farming
• Micro finance
• Organic fertilizers
22. Land Restoration
• March 2019: the U.N adopted the Decade on Ecosystem Restoration,
devoting 10 years beginning in 2021 to building research, traditional
knowledge, finance, activism, consumer markets and public awareness
around the economic, social and environmental benefits of restoring
degraded landscapes
• Irrigation
• Organic Fertilizers
• Toxin removal
23. Forest Facts
• Forests cover 31% of the world’s total land area
• 1.6 billion people around the world depend on forests for their
livelihoods
• 300 million people worldwide live in forests
• More than 25% of the medicines we use originate in rainforest
plants, but only 1% of these plants have been studied for their
medicinal properties.
• Urban forests play an important role in improving air quality in
cities: can reduce air temperatures by up to 8 degrees Celsius,
• Estimated cost to restore a 350 million hectare portion of the
degraded forests: US$800 billion
– Estimated economic return of restoring it USD 9 trillion.
https://news.globallandscapesforum.org/38685/fast-facts-forests/
24. Deforestation: The Numbers
• Deforestation: around 15 billion trees each year
• About 30 percent of global forest cover has been completely cleared
and a further 20 percent has been degraded
• More than two billion hectares worldwide offer opportunities for
restoration---an area larger than South America. Most of these lands
are in tropical and temperate areas.
– One and a half billion hectares would be best-suited for mosaic restoration,
in which forests and trees are combined with other land uses, including
agroforestry, smallholder agriculture, and settlements.
– Up to about half a billion hectares would be suitable for wide-scale
restoration of closed forests.
• most of the land suitable for restoring forests is in 6 countries:
– Russia (151 million hectares) Australia (58 million)
– USA (103 million hectares) Brazil (50 million)
– Canada (78 million) China (40 million).
25. Forestry – Planting Trees To Capture Carbon
https://edition.cnn.com/2019/07/04/world/forests-capture-two-thirds-of-carbon-emissions-scn-intl/index.html
• Since the industrial revolution, humans have added around 300 billion tons of extra carbon
to the atmosphere
• restoring degraded forests all over the world could capture about 205 billion tons of carbon
in total. Global carbon emissions are currently around 10 billion tons per year.
• there's enough suitable land to increase the world's forests by about a third. That would
give the planet more than a trillion extra trees and 900 million hectares of additional tree
canopy, an area about the size of the US
• The best restoration projects out there that we know of are restoring billions of trees at 30
cents a tree. Scaled up to the numbers we're talking about it's $300 billion
26. Ethiopia – July 2019
https://edition.cnn.com/2019/07/29/africa/ethiopia-plants-350-million-trees-intl-hnk/index.html
Ethiopia's goal is to plant 4
billion trees during "the rainy
season" - May and October
4% of Ethiopia's land is
forested, compared to 30% at
the end of the 19th century
80% of Ethiopia's population
depends on agriculture as a
livelihood
