Climate change is a global problem that requires local action. Individual nations are reluctant to act without international cooperation, but global agreements are difficult to reach. China is the world's largest carbon emitter and many of its cities have severe air pollution problems. Implementing a carbon pricing scheme, such as China's national cap-and-trade program, could help reduce emissions and pollution levels while generating revenue to offset costs to consumers. Carbon pricing provides incentives to lower individual carbon footprints while protecting the poor.

SDG 7 AND 13
PPT is based on the sustainable development goals basically on goal 7 and goal 13. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), otherwise known as the Global Goals, are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. The SDGs work in the spirit of partnership and pragmatism to make the right choices now to improve life, in a sustainable way, for future generations.
Business as usual_is_dead_philippe_joubert_earth-on-board
To conclude, it is clear to us that business as usual is dead and the ongoing transition will reveal winners and losers. Losers will be the one not recognising that carrying on as if nature were unlimited and free is economically stupid, socially unacceptable and legally dangerous. Winners will be the one acknowledging that business can be part of the solution to our collective challenges if it changes drastically. How much business leaders will follow the winning but difficult path or reinventing business will decide on our common fate since in the end, there is no business in a world in chaos.
Global Green New Deal Policy Brief
This document discusses a proposal for a "Global Green New Deal" (GGND) in response to the current economic crisis and long-term sustainability challenges. The GGND would invest 1% of global GDP over 2 years to stimulate the economy and transition to a greener future. It proposes targeting fiscal stimulus at green infrastructure, reforming policies to reduce subsidies and incentivize sustainability, and coordinating internationally on trade, technology and carbon markets. The objectives are reviving economies, creating jobs, promoting sustainable growth, and reducing carbon dependency and environmental degradation.

Carbon per Capita 5 Facts You Need To Know (infographic)
Climate change is such a broad and complex issue – many of us struggle to connect the dots to what we do on a daily basis. But, there’s a simple number that gets us to a good start – our carbon dioxide emissions per person (or carbon per capita). Learn about carbon per capita, the difference between Production and Consumption carbon approaches, explore the case study of how Sweden has rapidly decarbonized, and consider the moral issues of the widening climate inequality and future carbon convergence.

Keynote commentary by Mike Muller - CP meeting Day 1
The document discusses challenges and opportunities around food and water security in South and East Africa in the context of climate change. It notes that while constraints currently exist in agriculture and land, water can support food security if user sectors are engaged. Regional approaches and cooperation between countries and agencies are needed to develop food and water security plans that consider realistic timelines and local ownership. Private sector actors are recognizing both economic opportunities and responsibilities to local livelihoods in this area.
Climate Summit Action Areas Energy
The document discusses the issue of increasing global energy demand and reliance on fossil fuels, which contributes to climate change. It proposes increasing energy efficiency, renewable energy sources, and access to energy services by 2030. Specific initiatives are outlined to double energy efficiency, increase renewable energy's share, and ensure universal energy access through regional partnerships and platforms to accelerate adoption of efficient products, buildings, vehicles, and renewable energy development like the Africa Clean Energy Corridor. The initiatives aim to sustainably meet growing demand through cooperation across countries, businesses, and organizations.

Climate change is a major issue in Egypt that threatens the country's livelihood and economy. The majority of Egypt's population lives in high density areas along the Nile River, leading to high levels of pollution. Rising sea levels could flood large areas of farmland and displace many villages. While the Egyptian government attends international climate summits, it lacks a national policy to prevent climate change. Individual actions like conserving energy and reducing car usage can help lower carbon footprints and mitigate the threats from climate change.

This document discusses trends in global poverty, inequality, demographics, debt, and the environment. It notes that while poverty has declined significantly in China and India, inequality remains high worldwide. Population is aging in developed nations. Debt levels are rising in southern Europe and selected advanced economies. Energy needs will increase substantially by 2035 due to growth in China, India, and the Middle East. Carbon emissions must be reduced to prevent global warming of over 2 degrees Celsius. Opportunities exist in renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable agriculture, recycling, and climate change adaptation and insurance. Sustainable development

The document discusses the problem of pollution and how it can be addressed. It notes that pollution is occurring at an alarming rate due to daily habits and consumption. Vehicles, businesses, and other sources contribute greatly to pollution. Policy changes are needed from governments to create stronger laws against pollution and support programs to cut pollution. Individual actions like reducing energy usage, recycling, and volunteering can also make a difference if done on a large scale. With concerted effort, the impacts of pollution may be lessened.
Energy security and environmental concerns: By Chandrabhushan
India currently has over 120 GW of installed power capacity but generation meets only a portion of demand, resulting in blackouts. Coal dominates India's energy mix currently. To sustain 8% economic growth, India plans to more than double installed capacity to 250 GW by 2015. This will require adding over 135 GW of new capacity in the next ten years, or over 13.5 GW per year. India has a variety of domestic energy sources that could be developed like coal, gas, hydro, nuclear, wind and solar to meet this demand. However, each option faces challenges in terms of resource constraints, environmental impacts, infrastructure requirements and costs that must be addressed for India to achieve energy security in the future.

Traffic problem project
The document summarizes traffic problems in Bangalore, India. It notes that high private vehicle ownership combined with an unorganized lifestyle has led to excessively high traffic. This causes issues like increased travel times, pollution, and accidents. Specifically, there are now 32 lakh total vehicles in Bangalore, with private vehicles making up 90% of traffic. The traffic volume is 2-3 times the road capacity. Individual and government steps are proposed to help address the problem, such as increasing public transportation options and promoting carpooling.

Scale matters: can revenue-sharing improve equity in hydropower development i...International Water Management Institute (IWMI)
The document discusses revenue sharing from hydropower projects in Nepal and its impact on equity. It finds that revenue sharing has improved equity between the central government and districts hosting projects, but has reinforced existing inequalities between project and non-project districts as well as within some project districts. The effectiveness of revenue sharing in improving equity depends on factors like the amount shared, rules for spending revenues, historical development patterns, and scale of analysis between the center, districts, and within districts.Climate change in the classroom
This document introduces students to a climate change simulation where they will take on the roles of different countries and organizations to negotiate solutions to the climate crisis. It provides background on the challenges of global warming, including rising temperatures and CO2 emissions. It also outlines key issues to be negotiated, such as emission reduction targets and financing, and which countries and groups are impacted and responsible. The goal is for students to gain experience solving this complex real-world problem through bilateral discussions and voting to reach agreements, as is done in international climate summits.
Dare to clean the air!
Vehicles emit 1 million tons of CO2 per day and vehicle pollution kills 30,000 people in the US each year, reducing the average human lifespan by 1-2 years. To help address this, the document recommends limiting the number of vehicles driven, improving vehicle efficiency, and choosing alternatives to driving such as walking, biking, or taking public transportation when possible.

International Waste Management; Crisis and Opportunity by David Brown
A slow motion but relentless environmental economic crisis is underway in many countries as vast quantities of natural resources are transformed into industrial and consumer products with short life spans, no clear pathway for reuse or recycling once discarded and a high likelihood of causing environmental harm when sent for disposal.
In this talk I examine how in some developing countries the speed of industrialisation and rise of consumption has out-stripped the ability or willingness of authorities to manage the surge in waste that accompanies this break-neck change.
I’ll give specific examples and disturbing photographs will highlight the scale of the challenge facing some governments and communities and attention will need to be paid to the aggregate impact on the world’s oceans which often represent the ultimate sink for our unwanted wastes.
By looking at the correlation between income and waste production per head the rapid trend to an even more wasteful and unsustainable global economic system can be explored.
Realisation of the risks posed by ineffective waste management is now recognised by more governments and all around the world there are examples of increasingly educated communities challenging their governments to act or taking direct constructive action themselves. It is hoped that rising environmental awareness from citizens, the economic imperatives of business and the impact of pressure and local community action groups will cumulatively result in future improvements. The empowerment of populations caused by the spread of modern communications, better access to education and tools such as social media can cumulatively drive the management of wastes on to a more sustainable footing across ever greater areas of the world.
We all need to know how we can contribute. I’ll give examples of progress in Derbyshire will be s well as examples of the benefits that can result from often simple changes in consumer choices and behaviour here in the UK.
I can’t remember when I haven’t been obsessed with waste. When I was five or six I drew a dump of tea in my art lesson and there has been no looking back since then. I spent many a (not so) pleasurable hour in a past job walking around land fill sites. Consequently, with colleagues, I now run a Recycling Road Show in Derbyshire, an initiative of Derbyshire County Council. I do have a life beyond waste, I really do; this is my waste related biography.

Kickboxing originated from karate, Muay Thai, and western boxing. It developed in Japan in the 1960s and the United States in the 1970s. Kickboxing allows punching and various kicking techniques to the body and legs. Referees and judges score fights similarly to boxing, considering factors like impact and defense to determine round winners. Kickboxing rules vary by organization but commonly restrict certain kicks and punches while allowing others. Fights consist of multiple rounds that are typically two to three minutes long with short breaks in between.

A Primer on the History of the CDT
The document discusses the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, including that it is 3,100 miles long and 72% complete. It notes the trail is managed by several federal and state agencies. The vision is to complete the trail to connect people through scenic hiking and horseback riding while preserving natural and cultural resources. Priorities include removing motorized use, linking sections, and addressing safety and resource issues. The Continental Divide Trail Coalition works to preserve the trail's features, encourage safe and responsible use, and protect the trail experience. It also discusses cooperative management with land agencies and efforts to protect lands along the trail. The document outlines a Gateway Community Program to engage communities near the trail to enhance sustainable development and conservation planning.
Chinese products
This document discusses perceptions of products made in China and outlines challenges facing China's manufacturing industry. It notes common perceptions include that Chinese products use untrained labor and cheap raw materials, resulting in poor craftsmanship and low quality. When deciding whether to purchase Chinese products, customers consider factors like origins, quality, price, safety, warranty, prestige, durability, and environmental friendliness. The document also depicts issues China faces like pollution, industrialization, and traffic as part of its development as well as contrasts between rural and urban areas and challenges with counterfeiting. It presents a vision for China to improve perceptions by highlighting its heritage, culture, and future potential.
Tiger rader
This document discusses Tiger Radler, a lemonade beer introduced in Southeast Asia with 2-3% alcohol content. It was first created in Germany in 1922 as a refreshing beer for cyclists. Tiger Radler targets young partygoers, food lovers, soccer fans, and sporty professionals. The marketing objectives are to increase volume sales by 5-10% and expand the flat beer market while changing perceptions. Social media strategies on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube are also discussed.
Children of the internet
This document outlines a campaign to educate Singaporean mothers about the ill effects of overusing the internet and limiting children's internet access to one hour per day. It presents target audiences like working professional mothers and key insights such as mothers feeling guilty if they do not raise their kids well. The campaign is called "Children of the Internet" and uses a virtual character named "My" to convey messages to mothers about wanting more family time instead of the kids being constantly online. It details a multi-phase social media engagement strategy to build awareness and empower the community to share stories in support of the campaign's message.
Globus - Hummingbird
The document provides information about a company called Hummingbird that participated in a business strategy simulation. In the first 3 rounds, Hummingbird's strategy of focusing on multi-featured cameras made it a market leader. However, it then lost focus and failed to adapt to changing market dynamics. It lost market share as competitors dropped prices and quality in the entry-level segment. Internal conflicts over strategy further hurt performance. By the 10th round, Hummingbird's sales and market share had declined significantly, leading to losses.
Finding the right IMC channels
This document discusses identifying the right integrated marketing communication channels. It analyzes the current situation of print media, television, radio, mobile and social media channels. It notes that while print media accounts for 40% of spending, radio is becoming irrelevant, television and mobile have shortcomings, and social media is most commonly used but has security issues. The insights discuss viewing marketing from the customer and marketer perspectives. The discussion covers various best practices and factors to consider for campaign design. The solution proposes a new online marketing model called "GITModel" to help select the right channels. The conclusion advocates for smart, integrated marketing that respects consumers across multiple channels.
Group decision making
The document discusses how to optimize group decision making. It states that freewill leads to creativity, creativity leads to satisfaction, and these affect group decision making. It argues that creativity comes from an open mind but can be limited by social norms, rules, and groupthink. For group decision making to be effective, individuals must have freewill to be creative and their ideas must lead to satisfaction.
UAE, land of opportunity
The United Arab Emirates has transformed environmental adversity into business opportunities. As an arid region with scarce water resources, the UAE's tribes first found economic success through pearling. After the pearl industry declined, the discovery of oil in the 1960s established the UAE's economy. In response to finite oil reserves, the UAE has diversified into logistics, retail, solar energy, and more by leveraging its strategic location and investing in desalination and renewable energy infrastructure. The UAE government supports new industries through regulations that incentivize sustainability while protecting the environment.

Carbon Tax
This document discusses carbon taxes and their impacts. It covers how carbon emissions are causing climate change and environmental damage costing $200 billion annually. Two ways to reduce emissions are direct carbon taxes or cap and trade systems between companies. While carbon taxes aim to reduce negative externalities, they can increase costs for businesses and households. A tax of $23 per tonne in Australia had little environmental impact but did increase electricity and gas costs slightly for households. The conclusion argues the focus should be on developing green energy technologies through research instead of just controlling emissions.

The Governance of Sustainability
Tuesday 10 October 2023
Presented by:
Roger Garrini and Katherine Ingham
Content Description:
When analysing the issues of sustainability, it is clear that many issues will be addressed with complex projects and programmes which provide opportunities for good governance to influence. It is important that the Governance is sound and the PM community must be supported. We will discuss these issues in this session.
Shobhakar Dhakal's April 30 Presenation
Major trends in urbanization and the urban environment:
1) Asia is leading unprecedented global urbanization, hosting the largest urban populations, including China and India which have the largest populations.
2) Asian cities are facing severe challenges from high density, congestion, air and water pollution, and solid waste issues due to rapid urban growth outpacing infrastructure development.
3) Looking ahead, further urbanization will increase challenges, with the urban population projected to grow twice as fast as the total population by 2030, concentrating environmental impacts in cities. Innovative solutions are needed to manage urban development.

City of the Future
The document discusses challenges facing future cities such as urban sprawl, growing global urbanization, waste management, and resource depletion. It proposes that the city of the future will be more walkable and sustainable, with public transportation and smarter, more efficient transportation options. The city of the future will also use data science to smartly manage resources and adapt to demands, working to produce food locally and promote a higher quality of life while reducing its environmental impact.
Ngoc anh hcmc_mitigation
This document discusses improving integrated solid waste management in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to support climate change mitigation. It notes that HCMC produces 7,500 tons of solid waste daily, of which only 6,200 tons are collected. The proposed program includes separating waste at source, increasing recycling through composting, and improving landfill gas capture. This would reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the waste sector and support sustainable development through increased community involvement in waste sorting and recycling.

Tourism and Climate Change: Issues, Trends and Solutions
1) The document discusses how tourism both contributes to and is impacted by climate change. It provides data on the economic impact and carbon emissions of tourism in the Pacific Northwest region.
2) It notes that while efficiency has increased, air travel emissions and total aviation emissions continue to rise rapidly due to the growth in air travel. This increased air travel represents a larger portion of overall rising carbon emissions.
3) The document argues that tourism must play a role in reducing its carbon footprint through sustainable strategies that lower impacts and increase value to prepare for a low carbon economy. Regional collaboration is needed to jointly solve this issue.
Climate Change (By Anumita)
The document discusses several key issues related to climate change:
1) Developing countries will be disproportionately impacted by climate change and have contributed less to causing the problem historically. Equity is needed in international agreements to address this.
2) While emissions trading can help reduce costs, the focus should be on transitioning to clean energy rather than subsidizing fossil fuels. Mechanisms like CDM risk locking countries into carbon-intensive pathways.
3) Transportation is a fast growing source of emissions. Stronger fuel efficiency and emissions standards globally, especially in major developing country markets, could significantly reduce emissions trends.

SWS_Two superpowers_JHT.pptx
- China and the US are the two largest emitters of carbon dioxide in the world, together accounting for over 40% of global emissions. While China is currently the largest overall emitter, emissions per capita are still much lower than the US due to China's larger population.
- Both countries have committed to reducing emissions in the coming decades to help keep global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius as required by the Paris Agreement, but their current policies and targets are still seen as insufficient by climate analysts.
- Decarbonizing the global economy is projected to require massive investment on the order of $150 trillion over the next 30 years, which will impact industries and sectors worldwide in addition to providing opportunities for green technologies and

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
