A USGBC study found that over 7.9 million jobs will be created by 2013 to support LEED and green building. Many California cities and counties, as well as federal departments and agencies, mandate LEED Silver certification for new construction. Additionally, around a third of LEED-certified commercial buildings in the Sacramento region are privately owned, and developers are using sustainability and LEED certification as a marketing tool to attract tenants in the competitive real estate market.

The Climate Group - News And Blog
LONDON: A group of 70 global investors that manage more than US$3 trillion worth of collective assets, today launched the first-ever joint effort to spur the world’s top power companies to assess the financial risks of climate change, and the opportunities of transitioning to the low carbon economy.
The investors sent letters to 45 of the world's biggest oil, gas, coal and electric power companies last month, in response to Carbon Tracker’s 2013 report Unburnable Carbon. The report found that in 2012 alone, the 200 biggest publicly traded fossil fuel companies collectively spent around US$675 billion on new reserves which could never be used and would become worthless, or ‘stranded assets’.
Coordinated by CERES, the initiative aims to highlight the opportunity in redirecting at-risk capital to low carbon energy and clean technologies, as the investors ask how power companies are preparing for financial climate risk and the fast-growing clean energy economy.
The 70 investors, which include California’s two largest public pension funds, the New York State Comptroller, F&C Management and the Scottish Widows Investment Partnership, asked for detailed responses ahead of their yearly shareholder meetings in 2014.
The investors wrote: “We would like to understand what options there are for [the company] to manage these risks by, for example, reducing the carbon intensity of its assets, divesting its most carbon intensive assets, diversifying its business by investing in lower carbon energy sources or returning capital to shareholders.”
“Companies must plan properly for the risk of falling demand by stress-testing new investments to minimize the risk our clients’ capital is wasted on non-performing projects”, said Craig Mackenzie, Head of Sustainability at Scottish Widows Investment Partnership.
“The world is taking climate change seriously and global pressures to reduce fossil fuel use will only grow stronger. As long-term investors, we see the world moving toward a low-carbon future in which fossil fuel reserves that companies continue to develop may actually become a liability, which could take a toll on shareholder value”, commented Jack Ehnes, CEO of the California State Teachers’ Retirement System.
Dr. Julie Gorte, Senior Vice President for Sustainable Investing at Pax World Management Corp, said: “There’s a real appetite among our clients to invest in companies that are innovating to address climate change. Tackling climate change is both a business risk and opportunity, so it is in the interest of energy companies and utilities to assess, disclose and develop strategies to mitigate carbon asset risk.”

Prize Capital CCR Industry Overview
This document provides an overview of carbon capture and recycling (CCR), an emerging industry that views captured carbon dioxide as a resource rather than a liability. CCR approaches fall into three categories: biological, which uses organisms to absorb CO2 and produce products; chemical and catalytic, which uses catalysts to break the CO2 bond and incorporate carbon into new molecules; and mineralization, which locks CO2 into solid structures. There are over 130 companies and organizations pursuing CCR technologies. While the industry is still developing, CCR offers an alternative to carbon sequestration that could generate revenue from established markets and help address carbon emissions. Key challenges to commercializing CCR technologies include year-round recycling of carbon in various climates

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.

- 5. California developer using 'green' marketing to attract tenants Sacramento has for years outperformed much larger cities when it comes to green building construction, thanks mainly to the eco-conscious policies of state government. Now the green trend has engulfed the private office market as well. Developers in Sacramento — and nationwide — are using sustainability as a key marketing tool in their effort to attract tenants. It's one more selling point in a real estate climate with vacancy rates well into the double digits. Altogether, nearly 100 commercial and institutional buildings in Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo counties now meet either the "Energy Star" standards established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards of the U.S. Green Building Council, which designates buildings "silver," "gold" or "platinum." About a third of the region's estimated 26 LEED-certified commercial buildings are now privately owned, according to the Green Building Council. Chris Mullins, a Sacramento LEED consultant with Portland, Ore.-based Brightworks, expects that share to grow, even in a rough economy. "If you have to pay $96,000 to get certified to get a tenant," he said, "that's the best $96,000 an owner ever spent." 5
