Housing Retrofit & Economic Growth - A Community Green Deal - Anne-Marie Simp...

sustainableCoRE

This document discusses the benefits of housing retrofit programmes in addressing climate change goals and stimulating economic growth. [1] Housing accounts for 27% of UK carbon emissions, and retrofitting 26 million homes is needed to meet carbon reduction targets, requiring improvements to 10,000 homes per week. [2] There is an estimated £106 billion market for retrofitting in the UK that could generate £2-3 billion annually. [3] A "Community Green Deal" approach is proposed to bring partners together to deliver retrofitting at scale through a building block process involving identifying opportunities, developing plans, collaboration, and establishing reinvestment funds.

Global and national implications of alternative metrics - Reisinger et al

Environmental Protection Agency, Ireland

1) The document analyzes the global and national mitigation costs of alternative metrics for comparing greenhouse gases like 100-year global warming potentials (GWPs) and global temperature change potentials (GTPs). 2) It finds that while alternative metrics address some issues with GWPs, fixed 100-year GTPs are even less cost-effective than GWPs globally. Time-dependent GTPs that focus on temperature change in 2100 could be more cost-effective. 3) For New Zealand, the economic implications of alternative metrics depend on assumptions about agriculture emissions reductions and global climate policy scenarios more than the metrics alone.

The document discusses the SCaMP (Sustainable Catchment Management Programme) project, which aims to improve water quality through land management practices. It is funded through a combination of water customer bills, government agencies, and environmental grants. The project has delivered benefits like improved biodiversity and water treatment cost savings. A case study found the project's net present value was over £7 million due to benefits like carbon sequestration, recreation, and water quality improvements. However, not all degraded land will benefit water companies. Lessons include recognizing carbon benefits, having shared responsibilities, gaining stakeholder input, and allowing time to determine effective practices.

World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

Applying advanced spatial tools can help analyze landscapes and climate change impacts in Asian highlands. In Yunnan, China, evidence shows warming temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and loss of biodiversity and traditional livelihoods. Case studies in Xishuangbanna and Baoshan show expanding rubber plantations and loss of forests and agricultural lands. Protected areas may no longer protect intended habitats by 2050 due to climate change. Adaptation strategies are needed to help alpine plants shift ranges upward to cope with warming temperatures in southwest China's highlands.

World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

This document discusses strategies for domesticating Allanblackia species, an underexploited high-value tree crop for Africa. It details the uses, production levels, oil properties and demand for Allanblackia oil. Wild harvesting is unsustainable, so domestication is needed. A public-private partnership is working on domestication, including germplasm collection, propagation methods, integration into farming systems, and market development. Sensitization of farmers is important for their participation. Research is exploring seed germination, vegetative propagation, genetic variation and setting up genebanks and mother blocks for domestication of multiple Allanblackia species.

World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

Seed production and delivery strategies in groundnut in India involve both informal and formal seed systems. In the informal system, farmers traditionally save and share their own seed or obtain it from other farmers. The formal system includes government agencies and seed certification organizations. Improving the legume seed situation requires training farmers in improved cultivation and post-harvest handling practices. It also requires strengthening links between different certification classes in the formal system. Various models are proposed for seed production including village-level community models and cooperative society models.

World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

This document discusses strategies for doubling cowpea yields through hybrid breeding. It notes that significant yield increases of up to 130% have been observed with F1 cowpea hybrids compared to traditional varieties. Hybrid breeding is seen as a way to strongly involve the private sector in cowpea seed systems. The document also discusses ways to facilitate pollen transport and the use of cytoplasmic male sterility to enable the production of hybrid seeds at scale. This could help meet the growing demand for cowpea from both smallholder farmers and urban populations.

Icraf Nairobi March 20 2007 V1

World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

This document summarizes six underappreciated facts about African agriculture and their implications for poverty reduction and agricultural growth strategies. The key facts are that farm sizes are declining rapidly, grain productivity growth will be inadequate, most farmers are net buyers of staple crops, retail food prices are decreasing, supermarkets account for a small portion of food sales, and markets have not truly been liberalized. These facts suggest strategies need to focus on diversification, improving traditional markets, and investing in public goods rather than input subsidies. Reallocating budgets to long-term investments like R&D and reducing policy unpredictability could encourage growth.

Potential natural vegetation maps for western and central Kenya - Roeland Kindt

World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

Potential natural vegetation maps for western and central Kenya can help select indigenous tree species for certain areas and purposes. The maps were developed from aerial photographs and fieldwork in the 1940s-1960s, classifying vegetation into 17 types based on structure and dominant species. While the maps generally correspond to climate and soil patterns, some boundaries may not accurately reflect current species compositions due to land use changes. The maps can still provide a starting point for agroforestry planning by indicating suitable species assemblages. A current tree diversity survey around Mount Kenya found species compositions generally consistent with the original vegetation types delineated on the maps.

World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

The document discusses approaches to achieving sustainable cocoa production in Ghana by 2020. It identifies several challenges in the cocoa sector including low productivity, rural poverty, and deforestation. It analyzes different stakeholder approaches and finds they mainly focus on increased productivity, while social and environmental issues are addressed less. Inclusive business models include many smallholder farmers but benefits are not always equitable. Responsible finance from impact investors and social lenders has potential to leverage more equitable models and landscape restoration, but investments have not been well adapted for cocoa sectors. A "multi-chain approach" is proposed to better leverage finance through a portfolio of value chains at the landscape level.

World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

This paper assesses the potential impact of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8 on forests and forest-dependent people. The concepts of decent work and economic growth are put in the context of predominant development theories and paradigms (modernization, economic growth, basic needs, sustainable development) which shape the agendas of governments, private sector, civil society, and investors. These stakeholders pursue different goals and interests, with uneven prioritization of SDG 8 targets and mixed impacts on forests and livelihoods.

World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

With an extension of 2.1 million ha, the Maya Biosphere Reserve (MBR) in Petén, Guatemala is the largest protected area in Central America. To reconcile forest conservation and socio-economic development, community forest concessions were created in its Multiple Use Zone (MUZ) in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Operated by a community forest enterprise (CFE), and with a cycle of 25 years, the concessions grant usufruct rights to local communities on an area of about 400,000 ha. Currently, nine concessions are active, while the contracts of two concessions were cancelled and the management plan of another suspended.

World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

A healthy viable multifunctional landscape has the capability of supporting sustainable agricultural productivity, providing agroforestry and forest products (timber, fuel wood, fruits, medicine, fertilizer, gum etc.) for the sustenance of mankind while providing other environmental services. However these products are increasingly becoming unavailable due to declining soil fertility, climatic extremes, and high costs of inputs. Identifying low-cost, sustainable ways to attain food security and sustainable environment for millions of smallholder farmers in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) remains a major developmental challenge.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-und-domino-lizenzkostenreduzierung-in-der-welt-von-dlau/ DLAU und die Lizenzen nach dem CCB- und CCX-Modell sind für viele in der HCL-Community seit letztem Jahr ein heißes Thema. Als Notes- oder Domino-Kunde haben Sie vielleicht mit unerwartet hohen Benutzerzahlen und Lizenzgebühren zu kämpfen. Sie fragen sich vielleicht, wie diese neue Art der Lizenzierung funktioniert und welchen Nutzen sie Ihnen bringt. Vor allem wollen Sie sicherlich Ihr Budget einhalten und Kosten sparen, wo immer möglich. Das verstehen wir und wir möchten Ihnen dabei helfen! Wir erklären Ihnen, wie Sie häufige Konfigurationsprobleme lösen können, die dazu führen können, dass mehr Benutzer gezählt werden als nötig, und wie Sie überflüssige oder ungenutzte Konten identifizieren und entfernen können, um Geld zu sparen. Es gibt auch einige Ansätze, die zu unnötigen Ausgaben führen können, z. B. wenn ein Personendokument anstelle eines Mail-Ins für geteilte Mailboxen verwendet wird. Wir zeigen Ihnen solche Fälle und deren Lösungen. Und natürlich erklären wir Ihnen das neue Lizenzmodell. Nehmen Sie an diesem Webinar teil, bei dem HCL-Ambassador Marc Thomas und Gastredner Franz Walder Ihnen diese neue Welt näherbringen. Es vermittelt Ihnen die Tools und das Know-how, um den Überblick zu bewahren. Sie werden in der Lage sein, Ihre Kosten durch eine optimierte Domino-Konfiguration zu reduzieren und auch in Zukunft gering zu halten. Diese Themen werden behandelt - Reduzierung der Lizenzkosten durch Auffinden und Beheben von Fehlkonfigurationen und überflüssigen Konten - Wie funktionieren CCB- und CCX-Lizenzen wirklich? - Verstehen des DLAU-Tools und wie man es am besten nutzt - Tipps für häufige Problembereiche, wie z. B. Team-Postfächer, Funktions-/Testbenutzer usw. - Praxisbeispiele und Best Practices zum sofortigen Umsetzen
