To address this, the white paper proposes an ambitious, integrated approach to create an ecological network across England. It establishes a framework including Local Nature Partnerships and Nature Improvement Areas to strengthen local action and reconnect nature on a large scale. The white paper aims to put natural capital at the heart of decision making and create a green economy where economic growth and environmental health support each other.
Millennium ecosystem assessment
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) was a major assessment of human impact on the environment from 2001-2005. Over 1300 contributors from 95 countries examined how ecosystem changes affect human well-being and how to improve policy responses. The MA found that while human actions have increased well-being and economic growth, ecosystem degradation poses a growing threat and barrier to achieving development goals. Reversing degradation requires significant policy changes not yet underway. The MA aimed to integrate scientific and social perspectives across scales to inform environment and development decisions.

This study examines the socioeconomic impacts of UNDP/GEF-SGP funded community-based climate change mitigation projects in Dire Dawa Administration, Ethiopia. A survey of 160 households (80 beneficiaries and 80 non-beneficiaries) was conducted. Descriptive statistics and propensity score matching techniques were used to analyze the data. The results show that household income, assets, and consumption expenditures were higher for project beneficiaries compared to non-beneficiaries, indicating a positive impact of the projects on livelihoods. However, the projects also faced challenges that limited their potential impacts. Overall, the study found the average effect of the projects to be statistically significant and positive in improving socioeconomic conditions and the environment in the local communityResidential Green Recovery Solutions Post Earthquake
This document discusses residential real estate recovery solutions after earthquakes. It covers disaster risk factors, impacts of earthquakes, recovery phases and case studies of earthquake recovery in Gujarat, India and Northridge, California. It also discusses green recovery practices like incorporating sustainable and earthquake-resistant building techniques. Key recommendations include pre-disaster planning, ensuring adequate affordable housing, maintaining community ties during recovery, and balancing short and long-term needs. The conclusion emphasizes understanding population densities, emergency response planning, construction quality control, and disseminating disaster knowledge.
Climate-Smart Conservation: Putting Adaptation Principles into Practice
Climate change already is having significant impacts on the nation’s species and ecosystems, and these effects are projected to increase considerably over time. As a result, climate change is now a primary lens through which conservation and natural resource management must be viewed. How should we prepare for and respond to the impacts of climate change on wildlife and their habitats? What should we be doing differently in light of these climatic shifts, and what actions continue to make sense? Climate-Smart Conservation: Putting Adaptation Principles into Practice offers guidance for designing and carrying out conservation in the face of a rapidly changing climate.
Addressing the growing threats brought about or accentuated by rapid climate change requires a fundamental shift in the practice of natural resource management and conservation. Traditionally, conservationists have focused their efforts on protecting and managing systems to maintain their current state, or to restore degraded systems back to a historical state regarded as more desirable. Conservation planners and practitioners will need to adopt forward-looking goals and implement strategies specifically designed to prepare for and adjust to current and future climatic changes, and the associated impacts on natural systems and human communities—an emerging discipline known as climate change adaptation.
The field of climate change adaptation is still in its infancy. Although there is increasing attention focused on the subject, much of the guidance developed to date has been general in nature, concentrating on high-level principles rather than specific actions. It is against this backdrop that this guide was prepared as a means for helping put adaptation principles into practice, and for moving adaptation from planning to action.
MAKING CONSERVATION CLIMATE SMART
The fate of our wildlife and wild places depends on steps we take now to prepare for and cope with the growing impacts of a changing climate. While managers traditionally have looked to the past for inspiration, increasingly we will be faced with future conditions that may have no historical analogs.
Although climate adaptation will have costs, the cost of inaction—through continuing with business as usual—is likely to be far higher. Furthermore, the sooner we begin the task of planning for a climate-altered future and taking meaningful adaptation action, the more successful these efforts ultimately will be. It is imperative that natural resource managers begin to act now to prepare for and manage these changes, in order to provide the best chance for cherished conservation values to endure. Putting climate-smart conservation into practice can make a difference for sustaining our nation’s diverse species and ecosystems well into the future. Indeed, protecting our rich conservation legacy depends on our rising to this challenge.

FH Doku Session 1
The document discusses the challenges at the water-energy-food nexus by 2030 if current trends continue. It notes projections that energy and water demand will increase by 40% and food demand by 50%, putting pressure on scarce land and water resources. Meeting these competing demands through single sector approaches is limiting sustainability. Integrated governance and public-private collaboration will be needed to promote resource efficiency and manage these interconnected systems. Science can contribute by better understanding feedbacks within the nexus and linking global changes to local conditions to inform effective policymaking across scales.

21 issue for the 21st century: e-waste
This document discusses the emerging issue of changing waste streams due to increasing demand for rare earth elements used in electronics and the growing problem of electronic waste. As demand for strategic minerals like lithium, neodymium, and indium rises to meet manufacturing needs, their supply risks depletion within the next 10-20 years without improved resource management and recycling. This could damage the environment and public health as stockpiles of hazardous e-waste reach 200-500% higher levels by 2020 if no action is taken to adopt a lifecycle approach and plan for a more circular economy that enables recycling and reuse of scarce resources.

Climate Change: What Does FP/RH Have to Do With It?
Climate change is unequivocal and largely due to human activities like greenhouse gas emissions. Effects include increased temperatures, sea level rise, and more extreme weather. Family planning can help adaptation by slowing population growth and reducing stress on resources. Many National Adaptation Programs of Action recognize population growth as exacerbating climate impacts but few include family planning in projects. Integrating family planning into community-based adaptation could help address unmet need and strengthen resilience.

Impacts of climate change on livelihood by zewde alemayehu tilahun
Climate change is negatively impacting livelihoods in several ways. It is causing weather extremes like droughts and floods more frequently, reducing food security and forcing migration. Subsistence farmers are especially vulnerable as they depend on climate-sensitive rain-fed agriculture. Studies show countries like Ethiopia, which rely heavily on agriculture, may see agricultural income reductions of 60% by 2100 due to climate change. Climate change is exacerbating existing issues in Ethiopia like land degradation and deforestation, further threatening livelihoods. Adaptation is needed to help vulnerable communities cope with the effects of climate change and protect livelihoods.

The document discusses Arthur Waley's 1928 translation of Sei Shōnagon's 11th century Japanese work "The Pillow Book". It notes that Waley was an influential Orientalist and Sinologist known for translating works from Chinese and Japanese to English. However, historians have issues with Waley's translation of "The Pillow Book" as it was incomplete, omitted certain parts of the original text, and overlapped with Waley's own voice and perspective as an Englishman. Nonetheless, the translation was not without merit and still conveyed some of Sei Shōnagon's artistic expression and voice.

Disaster Mangement process with Uttarakhand Case Study
The document outlines the steps in the disaster management process and provides examples from the Uttarakhand case study:
1) The prevention stage focuses on minimizing damage before a disaster but there was little prevention efforts seen from the government in Uttarakhand despite warnings.
2) The mitigation stage aims to reduce long-term risk but in Uttarakhand, mitigation strategies were only implemented after the disaster occurred.
3) Preparedness refers to readiness for rescue and relief operations but the government was unprepared in Uttarakhand.
4) The response stage involves emergency mobilization and citizens of India responded tremendously to help those affected.
5) Recovery
Review - The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon - Arthur Waley translation - Present...
The document discusses Arthur Waley's 1928 translation of Sei Shōnagon's 11th century Japanese work "The Pillow Book". It notes that Waley was an influential Orientalist and Sinologist known for translating works from Chinese and Japanese to English. However, historians have issues with Waley's translation of "The Pillow Book" as it was incomplete, omitted certain parts of the original text, and overlapped with Waley's own voice and perspective as an Englishman. Nonetheless, the translation was not without merit and still conveyed some of Sei Shōnagon's artistic expression and voice.
uttarakhand flood disaster 2013
The document summarizes a case study on the 2013 Uttarakhand floods in India. It describes how heavy rainfall from June 14-17, over 375% of the average, caused devastating floods and landslides. The melting of the Chorabari Glacier triggered flooding of the Mandakini River. Over 800 people died and infrastructure like roads and buildings were damaged. Both natural factors like heavy rainfall and landslides, as well as man-made factors like deforestation, construction of hydroelectric projects, and lack of disaster management planning, contributed to the severe impacts of the floods.

SHOII Slide-TOPS_Resilience Interventions_Revised 02 March 2015
The document summarizes the partner NGO activities of the SHOUHARDO II Program in Bangladesh. It operates in 11 districts across 4 regions, working with over 370,000 households. The program aims to build resilience to food insecurity by reducing vulnerability to disasters and climate change. Key approaches include disaster risk management, emergency preparedness planning, early warning systems, infrastructure improvements, agriculture and livelihood support, and empowering community institutions. Community vulnerability assessments inform adaptation plans and preparedness activities. Indications are that the program has increased resilience by reducing loss of life and livelihoods in disasters through preparedness measures, while more adaptive approaches are still needed to reduce crop damage.
Pmi and wvi presentation horizontal integration indonesia
Community vulnerability and capacity assessments are important for mainstreaming disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. The assessments help communities identify hazards, vulnerabilities, and existing coping mechanisms. They are also used to develop action plans with preparedness and mitigation activities. Example activities in the plans address root causes of vulnerability in sectors like health, environment, livelihoods, and education. This includes community-based health programs, environmental management programs, psychosocial support, and education programs for youth.

Applying participatory climate risk and livelihoods mapping to define users’ ...
Participatory climate risk and livelihoods mapping provides specific information that is required
to deliver more salient climate services (CS) for farmers within the context of farm decision-
making.
• Each major cropping and livelihood system has different CS requirements in terms of their
temporal and spatial scale.
• The identification of relevant actors to tailor CS and building partnerships at the local level is
crucial to better define mandate, roles, and types of support that each actor can provide.
• It is important to consider the anticipated future changes in peoples’ livelihoods and zones
since these have important implications for designing CS-related programs and integrating the
CS agenda into the national or provincial climate change adaptation planning.
Environmental management
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.
Flyer of-burdan-project
The BURDAN project aims to build resilience in communities affected by disasters in Dhading and Kavrepalanchowk districts of Nepal. It will directly benefit 15,000 households, 4,500 children, and 1,200 individuals, and indirectly benefit 150,000 people. The project is being implemented from 2016 to 2018 by ADRA Nepal with funding from ADRA offices in Austria, Australia, Czech Republic, Germany, and internationally. It seeks to enhance disaster preparedness and emergency response capacity through activities like developing local disaster risk management plans, training community members and officials, and making schools safer.
5. ngmindra , apr 15, 2010

3. The plan also includes mitigation and preparedness measures like identifying evacuation routes and conducting drills, as well as utilizing existing financial mechanisms for disaster management and community resilience.
Social Protection - DRR - CCA
Social Protection-DRR-CCA-linkages discusses the linkages between social protection, disaster risk reduction, and climate change adaptation. It defines social protection as mechanisms to combat poverty and reduce the impact of shocks. The four dimensions of social protection are protective, preventive, promotive, and transformative measures. Disaster risk reduction aims to reduce damage from natural hazards through prevention and preparedness. Climate change adaptation involves adjusting systems in response to actual or expected climate impacts. There are benefits to promoting CCA and DRR through social protection programs that protect vulnerable populations from climate risks and build resilience. Experience from programs in Asia and West Africa demonstrate the linkages between these domains.

Does the Pandemic Discriminate
It is a presentation focusing on how Natural Disasters including the Pandemics discriminates based on identity. The case is mostly urban areas in Bangladesh
Early warning systems
Early warning systems aim to avoid or reduce the impact of natural hazards by generating and disseminating timely warnings. In Bangladesh, hundreds of fishermen die at sea each year from disasters without warning. Early warning systems have significantly reduced deaths from disasters in Bangladesh by allowing for evacuation and prepositioning of response efforts. Key stakeholders in Bangladesh's early warning system include government agencies, NGOs, and community groups, but there is still work to be done to strengthen last mile warning dissemination and cross-border coordination.
Development Toolbox
The document discusses organizational culture at ICCO Bangladesh. It emphasizes respect, integrity, professional growth, and transparency. Ensuring these values are practiced across offices requires co-owned accountability, regular staff meetings, whistleblowing policies, and establishing rewards. Leadership must also lead by example and promote mutual respect and trust. Effectiveness can be measured through cultural documents and performance reviews, ensuring the right skills, engagement in decision-making, and dealing with integrity issues.
Bangladesh context disaster_shakeb
Bangladesh is transitioning from a least developed country to a developing country by 2024. It has experienced impressive GDP growth between 7-8% in recent years, making it one of the fastest growing economies. While around half of Bangladesh's GDP still comes from services, industry and agriculture are growing. The percentage of people living below the poverty line has decreased from 31.5% to 21.3% from 2010-2016, though climate change poses serious risks, with 134 million people expected to be severely impacted and 19 million children at climate risks. Bangladesh faces various climate disasters across its different agro-ecological zones from cyclones and flooding in coastal and river areas to drought in dry regions.

ChristianAid Bangladesh works to promote urban development and empower vulnerable communities. It focuses on urban slums, where 40% of Dhaka's population lives. Dhaka is one of the fastest growing cities but also faces high poverty, poor infrastructure, and environmental challenges from climate change. ChristianAid aims to strengthen livelihoods, advocacy, and social protection for marginalized groups like Dalits, who suffer discrimination. The presented project seeks to document Dalits' socioeconomic conditions, enhance their rights awareness and participation, and establish community organizations to meet their needs and defend human rights. Collaboration with government, civil society, and corporations through CSR programs could help address structural inequities facing urban poor communities in Bangladesh.
Inclusive Disaster Risk Management
This is a presentation from an action research project focusing on inclusive disaster risk management
Network theory and Humanitarian Action
The two articles discuss the application of network theory to humanitarian action in different ways:
- The first article analyzes how membership in different types of organizations (internal/external, expressive/instrumental) impacts individuals' personal networks in terms of density and diversity.
- The second article proposes a descriptive model of the humanitarian assistance sector as an interorganizational network and discusses how coordination occurs through consensus rather than hierarchy given the reluctant partnerships between organizations. It suggests building common claims and ties to strengthen the network.
- While the articles differ in focus (personal networks vs. organizational networks), they both demonstrate how network theory provides insights into relationship dynamics in humanitarian contexts.
Final faith based organizations
This document discusses faith-based organizations (FBOs), particularly moderate Muslim FBOs, and their relationship with private and public donors. It notes opportunities for FBOs in tapping the religious motivation of private donors in Islam which emphasizes charity. However, FBOs also face challenges with private donors regarding the perception of their work and allocation of funds. With public donors, FBOs have opportunities through increasing legitimacy and focus on Muslim communities, but challenges include criticism over agenda and links to terrorist groups. The document recommends FBOs adopt codes of conduct, diversify funding sources, increase cooperation and accountability, and maintain professionalization without proselytization.
Role of religion in society and humanitarian action
Religion plays an important role in society and humanitarian action in three key ways:
1) Religion influences many societies' underlying values and no country has a complete separation of religion and state.
2) The number of faith-based organizations (FBOs) involved in humanitarian work is growing, though their roles and impacts depend on the specific context and crises.
3) FBOs are motivated to both spread their religious influence and assist suffering communities based on their core values, and their presence can help facilitate access to populations in need during humanitarian crises.
A paradise built in hell presentation: Book Review
The document summarizes Rebecca Solnit's book "A Paradise Built in Hell" which argues that communities are often the first and most effective responders during disasters. Through case studies of major disasters like earthquakes and hurricanes, the book challenges the common perception that people panic and act selfishly in emergencies. Instead, it finds that people come together with altruism and mutual aid, and that crime and social problems often decline. However, the document cautions that while communities can be resilient, disasters themselves should not be desired due to their terrible impacts.
Evaluating a Humanitarian Action Proposal
This document summarizes the evaluation of a humanitarian project in Northern Sri Lanka. The evaluation assessed the project's relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, and capacity. It found that the project aligned with community needs but objectives lacked specificity. Cost efficiency was unclear and timelines unrealistic. The implementing partners were suitable but internal coordination was undefined. Community involvement and local skill-building were emphasized but sustainability mechanisms were lacking. Recommendations included enhancing the project framework, rationalizing costs, strengthening partnerships, and developing sustainability plans.
Fighting Pneumonia: Issues and Challenges
Pneumonia is one of the biggest killers of children under 5 globally, responsible for over 2 million deaths annually. It is caused by bacterial, viral and fungal infections which are often spread through airborne transmission. Those most at risk are young children and individuals with compromised immune systems. Efforts through programs like GAPP aim to increase vaccination coverage, improve access to healthcare and antibiotics, reduce indoor air pollution, and promote breastfeeding to help prevent and treat pneumonia cases. However, challenges remain in resource-limited settings where socioeconomic factors can create both liabilities and opportunities in controlling this disease.
NGO Management and Leadership
This document discusses NGO leadership in context. It addresses internal leadership, the wider political and social context, challenges NGOs face, and conclusions. Specifically, it notes that leadership strategies depend on how leaders identify with their group and the dynamic relationship with followers. Additionally, external social, cultural, and political factors influence leadership approaches. Finally, the document calls for more research on how leaders relate to their environment and the reciprocal relationship between leaders and followers.
Community Risk Assessment: From Rhetoric to Action
The document summarizes a case study of collaboration on community risk assessment in Bangladesh. It describes how different organizations were applying various risk assessment tools, creating confusion and competition. Stakeholders then agreed to a harmonized process facilitated by the Center for Disaster Management and Prevention. This included reviewing tools, field testing a new inclusive risk assessment, and gaining government approval. The approach emphasized community participation and training local volunteers to conduct assessments and develop risk reduction action plans. Challenges remain in scaling up the approach nationally and ensuring adequate resources and coordination across different levels of government.
Gender Based Violence in a Post Emergency Scenario
This presentation focusing on Gender Based Violence in a Post Emergency Scenario was done through Webinar for EPI Global and GDRA on the 10th of October 2012
Gender Based Violence in a Post Emergency Situation
This document discusses gender-based violence after natural disasters. It summarizes that GBV increases after disasters due to trauma, dispersed families exposing women, and relief efforts prioritizing urgent needs over safety. GBV is manifested through lower self-esteem, mental health issues, and risks like child marriage. Reducing GBV requires understanding social structures, involving women in disaster response, and having women represented on response teams distributing relief. Current policy gaps include a lack of gender perspective in disaster frameworks and response indicators. The conclusion calls for seeing women as strong forces of resistance and using disasters as opportunities for societal change.
NARRI-Achievements and Challenges
The National Alliance for Risk Reduction and Response Initiatives (NARRI) Consortium was formed in 2010 by 6 INGOs to work together on disaster resilience in Bangladesh. NARRI has implemented programs focused on cyclones, floods, and earthquakes, providing emergency response and supporting shelters. As a consortium, NARRI has greater negotiation power with stakeholders, a reliable relationship with donors, and optimizes resources through shared materials and learning. Major achievements include mobilizing over 1 million euros in resources and involvement in key government processes. Going forward, NARRI aims to establish its brand and develop operational guidelines as it works to contribute to a disaster resilient Bangladesh.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
