Imperatives For Forming A National Coalition On ExtractivesGilbert Makore
Presentation i made a meeting with civil society organisations working on extractives and other natural resources. Makes a case for the need to form a national alliance on extractives and other natural resources inorder to effectively influence local, regional and global policy processes. Meeting was held on 17 March 2010
In many places across the globe, people share their neighborhoods with hazardous waste facilities, chemically contaminated areas, and toxic incinerators. The story of communities living in contamination is neither rare nor surprising anymore. However, did you know that not all of us get exposed to toxic waste and pollution equally? Many different studies have provided strong evidence for disproportionate vulnerability to environmental hazards that mainly affects the people of color, immigrants, indigenous communities, women, and members of low socioeconomic groups. This pattern has been referred to as Environmental Racism – the concept that developed as a part of the environmental justice movement.

The importance of environmental justice in long-term planning. Part of the Sandy One Year Later conference Oct. 29, 2013, at Monmouth University, co-presented by the Union of Concerned Scientists and the Recovery Fund as well as New Jersey Future and Monmouth University.
Disaster risk reduction is a systematic approach to identifying, assessing, and reducing disaster risks through reducing vulnerabilities and environmental hazards. Risk is determined by the hazards a community faces and its vulnerabilities and capacity to withstand shocks. Those most at risk include the poor, women, elderly, children, and communities without experience with similar past disasters. Effective disaster risk reduction includes disaster preparation, integrating risk management into development, post-disaster needs assessments, and improved disaster financing and insurance.
The document discusses networking with farmers and farmer groups. It addresses questions around how to feed the world sustainably and equitably while supporting small farmers. It describes communities of practice as groups that come together to share knowledge and experiences. Effective knowledge management relies on creating, embedding, disseminating, and organizing knowledge through communities. Networking involves relationships between different stakeholders in agriculture, including informal agreements between groups, communities, and networks.

Webinar: Stabilizing Communities: Advancing Housing Justice Organizing and Po...Neighborhood Funders Group
http://www.nfg.org/stabilizing_communities_webinar_recap
Across the country, resident-led institutions and their allies continue to build organizing strategies that address housing, displacement, and gentrification at the local, regional, and state level. Strategies and solutions to gentrification and displacement like rent control measures, passing local ballot initiatives for renter protections, developing community land trusts, and financing affordable housing has had some success, but the demographics of many communities are still rapidly changing.
At the center of these shifts, philanthropy continues to play a critical role investing in expanding the power of low-income communities to build local decision-making. How will federal level changes exacerbate challenges at the city-level? How are community groups connecting to other local challenges? What are some of the strategies emerging in 2017 that teams are working on to address the housing crisis?

In Zambia, gender issues related to climate change have not been adequately considered in most environmental policies. Women are more vulnerable to the effects of climate change such as higher mortality during disasters, increased risk of water-borne disease, and greater domestic burdens from impacts like drought. As women rely more on natural resources and face more severe effects of declining agricultural productivity, they are disproportionately impacted by environmental degradation and climate change. While Zambia faces numerous environmental problems, more work is still needed to advance women's empowerment and gender equality, which are key to achieving climate change goals. Empowering women and utilizing their knowledge can help develop effective strategies for climate change adaptation, mitigation, and disaster risk reduction.
The document discusses collaborative solutions and social innovation to create social change. It defines collaboration as groups working together toward a common goal. Collaboratives are encouraged to address limitations of current systems and do more with less. Benefits include being holistic, flexible, building community, and incubating innovative solutions. Barriers include turf issues, lack of vision and leadership. Factors for success include a clear vision and mission, leadership, documentation, engaging stakeholders, and securing resources. Evaluations show collaboratives create community changes, civic engagement, empowerment, and innovative solutions.
Farmers are the backbone of society but are not celebrated as heroes. China faces threats to its social and economic well-being from issues of food and water security due to pollution and depleting natural resources. While leaders are making efforts through policy reforms and investments, millions continue to suffer from the serious toxicity problem until long-term solutions are discovered. One contributor discussed is industry, which provides the most pollution annually.
This document discusses factors driving the need for change in government, including globalization, new technologies, environmental concerns, and social/political shifts. It notes that governments now face "wicked problems" that are complex and lack clear solutions. To respond, governments will need to be dynamic, innovative, and involve stakeholders to ask the right questions. The presentation encourages analyzing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats governments face in light of these changing conditions.
1. Regional climate change impact assessments are needed to bridge global climate assessments and local decision-making on adapting to climate change. Assessments should be designed and carried out within each region to be culturally appropriate.
2. Knowledge action networks are proposed to link regional assessments with global science and policy communities to support local adaptation initiatives. Modern information techniques can ensure communication across global, regional, and local levels.
3. A new institutional framework is needed to support regional assessments and knowledge action networks through funding, capacity building, and provision of data, models and other resources, starting initially with a focus on regional assessments of water resources.
The campaign "Break the Silence, Make the Call" aimed to increase awareness of domestic violence programs to help victims. It sought to increase calls to the national family violence hotline by 20% and distribute 1 million materials. Focus groups with survivors emphasized creating awareness. The campaign used grassroots partners, discreet hotline cards, and partnered with broadcasters. It was successful, increasing hotline calls 69% for English and 93% for Spanish. Post-campaign, 50% recognized the tagline. Additional strategies could include local events and social media engagement.
An overview of the mission, goals and services of Funders Together to End Homelessness, including a description of the Funding Principles for Ending Homelessness.
The document discusses the Hate 2 Hope initiative, which aims to transform relationships between law enforcement and communities through dialogue. Over 10 weeks, Hate 2 Hope brings together community leaders, law enforcement, youth, and others to (1) create systemic change by building a movement of change agents, (2) develop cooperative actions that benefit both groups, and (3) deconstruct negative images of each other. Without positive engagement, the cycle of violence will continue, so by joining Hate 2 Hope communities can build trust between law enforcement and youth, enhance cultural competency, and decrease incidents of police misconduct and resident aggression.
This document discusses alternative development and the role of civil society organizations in promoting it. Alternative development aims to prevent illicit drug cultivation through rural development programs. It began with simple crop substitution but now takes a more nuanced approach. Successful programs follow models like SALD which involve preparation, implementation, and eventual exit from communities. Alternative development faces challenges including lack of infrastructure, security issues, and need for long-term commitment. The document calls for stronger civil society involvement in oversight, monitoring, and ensuring commitment to alternative development programs over the long term.
The document discusses tackling anti-social behavior (ASB) through partnerships. It defines ASB and lists different types, including deliberate, non-deliberate, and environmental. It also lists various tools and powers that can be used to address ASB, such as tenancy restoration, restorative justice, and dispersal orders. Finally, it discusses how partners can help by providing victim support, targeting problem locations and offenders, and using closure notices and injunctions to improve environments and divert individuals from ASB.
This document explores the feasibility of establishing affordable housing cooperatives in Milwaukee for low and moderate income residents. Key findings from a preliminary market analysis show that median income in Milwaukee County fell by 10.3% from 2005 to 2014. Over half of occupied homes in the city of Milwaukee are renter-occupied. The document recommends that affordable housing cooperatives cater to families overburdened by housing costs, especially women of color with children. Locating cooperatives in areas with economic need for subsidized housing could help address Milwaukee's shortage of affordable options.
This document proposes establishing a global level of government to better govern and unite the world. It argues that a global government could help address issues like war, famine, environmental problems, and regulatory inconsistencies more effectively. By pooling resources and standardizing rules globally, problems could be mitigated that currently face competition or lack coordination between countries. The organization's mission is to educate people about the potential benefits of a global government and build support to encourage existing officials to form such a structure.
This document discusses the issue of gentrification displacing black families from their communities. Gentrification occurs when run-down neighborhoods are improved, raising property values and taxes. As a result, black families can no longer afford to live in these communities. The document proposes creating an organization called "Opened Arms" to provide financial literacy education and support first-time black homeowners, in order to stabilize and revitalize black communities without displacement. A rally would be held using social media to raise awareness about the issue and the proposed solutions.
This document discusses the topic of gentrification, specifically as it relates to black communities in Chicago. It provides background on gentrification, describing it as the buying and renovation of houses and stores in deteriorated urban neighborhoods by higher-income individuals, often displacing low-income residents. The document then examines where and when gentrification is occurring in Chicago, naming neighborhoods like Hyde Park, South Shore, and Bronzeville. It explores the reasons for and effects of gentrification, such as increasing property values and taxes that force out long-time residents who cannot afford the changes. The document proposes some solutions, such as making new establishments in gentrifying areas more inclusive of existing community members to prevent displacement.
Green Empowerment develops renewable energy and clean water delivery systems in Latin America and Southeast Asia through partnerships with local NGOs. They collaborate with rural communities to address socio-economic needs and restore the environment. Their model involves local NGO partners providing feasibility studies, equipment, training, and long-term technical support to communities to empower them and promote sustainability.
The document discusses climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies within agriculture. It outlines roles for community-based approaches in areas like weather monitoring, natural resource management, developing drought and pest resistant crops, local safety nets, and disaster management. It also discusses adaptation strategies outside of agriculture like occupational diversification and migration. The document concludes that institutional diversity increases resilience and that a range of local organizational forms and property rights regimes are needed. Both local and higher-level institutions are critical, with policies and mandates establishing standards and supporting a variety of strategies.
The document presents a proposal to address malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa through micro-financing sustainable local businesses. It notes that malaria affects hundreds of millions annually and is exacerbated by climate change. The proposal is to create a website platform called "Growth for Good Club" where sustainable Sub-Saharan African businesses can apply to be showcased and receive investments from companies, individuals, and institutions around the world. This would provide funding to develop local economies while also integrating new climate-safe technologies to reduce malaria prevalence over the long term through increased community wealth and resilience.

This document summarizes key findings from 23 Participatory Poverty Assessments across 14 countries regarding links between poverty and the environment from the perspective of poor people. Three main factors were found to determine how well poor people could use, maintain, and control their environmental resources: 1) The local environmental context, including fragile biophysical contexts, natural hazards, and environmental degradation; 2) Political and institutional contexts that marginalized the poor and biased markets and resource allocation against them; 3) How environmental shocks were experienced depended on people's ability to adapt their livelihood strategies, but this was limited by the first two factors.
By 2025, children who are 18 years or younger today will represent more than half of the world‘s workforce. A critical strategic opportunity exists to insure‘ the resiliency, effectiveness, and overall return on investment on 20-30 year REDD projects by investing in innovative school-based integrated educational approaches which empower young people to build better futures through life-sustaining values, practical skills and knowledge.
This is the 11th lesson of the course 'Poverty and Environment ' taught at the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Rajarata University of Sri Lanka
This document summarizes a conference on integrating hazard risk and mitigation into community planning. It discusses barriers to integration such as lack of public support, limited budgets, and lack of awareness of risks. The most important factors for effective integration are strong intergovernmental coordination, leadership support, risk awareness, understanding benefits of mitigation, and incentives. Key steps are to assess planning frameworks for resilience, engage stakeholders, establish integration goals, look for opportunities, and continually monitor and improve efforts. The document encourages attendees to apply these ideas in their own work.
This document discusses urban mobility and poverty. It begins with an introduction to urbanization trends like rural to urban migration. It then covers different types of urban population movements such as gentrification, suburbanization, urban sprawl, and counter-urbanization. The document defines poverty and its dimensions. It identifies reasons for urban poverty such as urbanization, migration, and lack of education/jobs. It concludes by stating that basic services, women's participation, and community-led programs are essential for effective poverty alleviation strategies.

Leisa Perch: Reconciling participation and benefits-sharing - policy implicat...AfricaAdapt
This document summarizes a paper on reconciling participation and benefit-sharing in relation to climate change adaptation policies in Africa. It finds that while existing frameworks acknowledge vulnerable groups, they do not adequately address structural inequalities or take a multidimensional approach. It recommends focusing on social technologies, risk management, learning across sectors, enhancing participation in resource allocation, and linking adaptation and development programs to better share both risks and benefits. A co-benefits framework that converges policies could help achieve more inclusive and transformative adaptation outcomes in Africa.
Reconciling Participation And Benefits Sharing 1Ln Perch
This document summarizes a paper on reconciling participation and benefit-sharing in approaches to climate change adaptation in Africa. It finds that current frameworks take a limited view of vulnerability that does not adequately consider social factors. National adaptation plans for African countries were analyzed and found to have some gaps in inclusiveness, such as not clearly identifying vulnerable groups or prioritizing gender and poverty. There are also disconnects between frameworks for participation in adaptation planning and actual practice in countries. The document calls for more holistic and socially-defined approaches to adaptation that better address structural inequalities.
The role of Integrated Conservation-Development Projects (ICDPs) in sustainab...Siang Yang
The document discusses the role of Integrated Conservation-Development Projects (ICDPs) in sustainable environmental management. It summarizes that past environmental measures failed because they did not link wildlife protection to local welfare. ICDPs aimed to integrate environmental protection and development, but outcomes have been largely ineffective. Case studies from Ghana and China are presented to illustrate weaknesses in the ICDP approach, such as unrealistic goals, lack of local participation and needs assessment, and failure to improve livelihoods or provide compensation for losses. The conclusion is that ICDPs have presented an illusion of "win-win" outcomes by not adequately addressing the critical linkage between conservation and rural development in local contexts.

This document summarizes research from a report on reducing disaster risks for urban children in Dhaka, Kathmandu, Manila, and Jakarta. The research aimed to understand which urban children are most at risk, the factors that underpin their risks, and how children can participate in disaster risk reduction. Key findings include that street children and child laborers face the greatest risks due to environmental factors like lack of infrastructure. The research also found that while children can be resilient agents of change, participation challenges remain. The report recommends priority action areas like improving infrastructure, strengthening family support systems, and engaging in more child-inclusive local governance.
The document discusses the Winnipeg Poverty Reduction Council (WPRC), which is a multi-sector roundtable of community leaders from business, government, and non-profits working to reduce poverty through collaboration. The WPRC believes greater impact could be made by better connecting, aligning, and reinventing social systems. It also discusses homelessness in Winnipeg, including that most experiences are short-term but some face chronic homelessness. It outlines the goals and strategies of Winnipeg's long-term plan to end homelessness, including prevention, creating a person-centered support system, and increasing housing supply.
The document summarizes a training held in Laisamis, Kenya on Disaster Risk Management (DRM). 45 participants including community leaders and health workers were trained over 4 days. The training covered defining hazards and disasters, identifying risks in the local context, and steps in the disaster management cycle. Key local hazards identified included drought, floods, disease outbreaks, conflicts and environmental degradation. The training aimed to build capacity for communities to prepare for, respond to, and build resilience against disasters.
This document discusses homestead food production in South Africa as a strategy to combat food insecurity. It notes that while homestead production is being promoted by NGOs and the government, the scale and impact are unknown due to a lack of data. Some evidence suggests homestead production is improving nutrition and incomes. The document recommends a systematic research program to study existing initiatives and lessons learned. It also proposes developing a coordinated upscaling program using community workers, accredited training, and support for water and soil resources to expand homestead production, particularly in urban and rural areas most affected by food insecurity. Monitoring and evaluation would track the program's impact over time.
Linking Adaptation And Mitigation In Climate Change And Development Some Co...Ln Perch
This document discusses linking adaptation and mitigation efforts to make them more inclusive, sustainable, and beneficial for poor communities. It suggests considering both the scope and scale of interventions. Developing anticipatory policies that link urban and rural planning can help reduce risks from climate impacts. Expanding renewable energy access and reducing energy poverty, such as through programs empowering women like the Barefoot College, can simultaneously cut emissions and boost development. Integrating poor communities into mitigation programs, as seen in Brazil's biodiesel program, can generate multiple co-benefits.

Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.
Trichogramma spp. is an efficient egg parasitoids that potentially assist to manage the insect-pests from the field condition by parasiting the host eggs. To mass culture this egg parasitoids effectively, we need to culture another stored grain pest- Rice Meal Moth (Corcyra Cephalonica). After rearing this pest, the eggs of Corcyra will carry the potential Trichogramma spp., which is an Hymenopteran Wasp. The detailed Methodologies of rearing both Corcyra Cephalonica and Trichogramma spp. have described on this ppt.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

2. Social safeguards in REDD+ (Reducing Emissions
from Deforestation and Degradation)
▪ Aims to ensure that people are not harmed
or made worse off by REDD+ activities:
recent commitments BUT criticism that
planned provision is weak
▪ Social safeguards are not new-many donors
have their own social safeguard procedures
in place e.g.World Bank identifies Project
Affected Persons (PAP) for compensation
2
4. 4
CAZ aims to generate carbon credits by reducing
deforestation-main driver of which is swidden agriculture
Therefore project success depends on economic
displacement of people from this livelihood
2500 PAPs identified in safeguard assessment in 2010
6. Aim: to compare characteristics of households
identified as PAPs with a random sample of
households in the area
(to explore characteristics which make it more or less
likely for households to be identified as eligible for
compensation under safeguards)
6
7. Methods
7
Sketch maps with key
informants to identify
villages
Visiting each
village/hamlet to
map location
417
households
identified
Constructing a sampling frame (33% of field time!)
Household interviews with stratified
random sample (203)
39 had been identified as PAPs
9. ▪ We used a binomial GLM to explore which variables predict
whether a household is identified as a PAP
▪ Expectation: HHs identified as PAPs would be more
dependent on swidden agriculture, be more dependent on
wild-harvested products, be more recently established
▪ We also included variables such as food security, membership
of forest management associations, proximity to
administrative centre to check whether wealth, socio-political
power and access increases chances of being identified as PAP
9
10. Indicators of wealth and socio-political power/access were the
most important predictors of whether a household was identified
as eligible to receive compensation
10
Results
11. More accessible households are nearly 2x more likely to be PAPs
11
4x increase in
probability of PAP
identification
2x increase in
probability of PAP
identification
More food secure households are 5X more likely to be PAPs
Committee members 16x more likely to be PAPs
12. Discussion
12
▪ Households identified as PAPs may well be deserving (all are
poor) BUT many HHs likely to be affected were omitted and
appears to be a systematic bias in safeguard assessments process
due to local elite capture
Available maps and
gazetteers showed
only 3 of the 8 villages
in the area
▪ This would be hard to avoid
i) VERY poor information
ii) Unwillingness to self-identify
▪ Reliance on existing institutions (such as forest management
associations) may have exacerbated inequalities
13. Conclusions
▪ An effective social safeguard assessment to identify
individual households affected by a REDD+ project may not
be practical (or cost-effective) in settings with poor
information on local populations and challenging access.
▪ Blanket compensation of all households may be the optimal
solution.

Editor's Notes
Verification and mapping was exhausting work-a first 3 weeks the team spent most of their time walking, mapping hamlets etc. This was vital as we needed to know where the people were in the study area.
