It is increasingly being recognised internationally that integrated catchment management (ICM) is a useful organising framework for tackling the ongoing challenge of balancing sustainable use and development of our natural resource, against achieving environmental goals. The basic principles of ICM (Williams, 2012) are to:
• Take a holistic and integrated approach to the management of land, biodiversity, water and community resources at the water catchment scale;
• Involve communities in planning and managing their landscapes; and
• Find a balance between resource use and resource conservation
ICM is now well established in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. In Europe the ICM approach has been proposed as being required to achieve effective water and catchment management, and is the approach being promoted by DEFRA for the UK, where it is called the “Catchment Based Approach” (CaBA). The principles and methodologies behind ICM sit well within the context of the Water Framework Directive with its aims and objectives for good water quality, sustainable development and public participation in water resource management. In Ireland it is proposed that the ICM approach will underlie the work and philosophy in developing and implementing future River Basin Management Plans.

The webinar was based on the findings in the Institute’s Global Status of CCS: 2014 report. It was designed for individuals interested and involved in the development and deployment of CCS/CCUS in the Americas, including technology, policy and regulation, and capacity development.
'Low Carbon Growth Plans: Advancing Good Practice' is a working paper which reviews recent low-carbon growth plans put forward by countries to drive domestic mitigation and adaptation action and highlights the lessons learned from this experience.
Developing countries are not yet well adapted even to current climate risks: floods, droughts and storm. Yet those risks are becoming harsher as the world warms, climate extremes become more intense, and the oceans rise – the consequences of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

• A changing climate leads to changes in frequency, intensity, spatial extent
and duration of weather and climate events
• Extreme events such as floods and droughts will have a direct impact on
water resources now and in the future
•Frequency of heavy rainfall events likely to increase 4 fold and extreme hot
days 10 fold by end of century.
• Populations exposed to water-related hazards – e.g. flooding, coastal
inundation – are already significant and likely to increase
• Changes in the climate could seriously affect water management systems,
such as water storage and treatment plants, and supply systems
• Climate change adaptation and DRM likely to require transformational
changes in processes and institutions
• This will involve taking a more holistic approach – e.g. integrating water
management with urban planning and design, and into policies on land use

support environmental sustainability,
resilience to climate change and green
growth.
• be the primary mechanism through which
Rwanda accesses, programmes, disburses
and monitors international and national extra-

change in various geographical areas and development sectors by 2013.
The project aims to provide:
• estimates of the impacts and economic costs and
benefits of climate change for the agricultural and
water sectors followed by,
• a ranking of climate compatible development policy
options in these sectors, according to their
economic efficiency, to help the Government to
strategically consider options for climate

Key objectives of the project will be to
• Promote local government action on climate
change mitigation and adaptation through the
assessment of the carbon footprint and water
footprint of local government operations.
• Develop participative methodologies
appropriate to local conditions and assess the
carbon footprint and water footprint of the
cities of La Paz, Quito and Lima.

What of water & CCD? Pictures from Ethiopia illustrate some of the opportunities and challenges aheadFrom (1) reducing dependence on vulnerable, unhealthy water sources, to (2) increasing irrigation and soil/water conservation (reducing dependence on increasingly volatile, rainfed agric), and (3) investing in multipurpose infrastructure for green energy, irrigation and flood control – dams get the headlines, but water storage to buffer rainfall variability can work at many scales. Note: obvious point - dams are contentious. The point here is that there is now a pretty widespread consensus that SSA needs to invest in its hydraulic infrastructure of storage and conveyance – see next slide. And develop – carefully – its groundwater resources which offer a ‘natural’ buffer against climate variability and change. Improving water security is essential for development and poverty reduction.Extreme climate events increase the cost and ease of improving water security, making it increasingly important to integrate water security and climate resilience into development planning.Importance of integrated planning processes for water, energy and food security that take account of climate change
WATER – NB assuming constant hazard
Built storage (reservoirs). Makes an important point re vulnerability to climate variability & change, though misses the natural storage provided by groundwater.
All TA projects need to align to this. And this is what success looks like – how do we measure these?

In a little more detail, our current understanding of opportunities and threats:Why water & sanitation? Because extending and sustaining water & sanitation services is a precondition for tacking poverty. And because tackling poverty is central to both development and building resilience to CC. The good news: the international development target for halving the number of people without access to safe water (MDG 7) has been met, 5 years before the 2015 deadline. The bad news (threats): the global figures are skewed by rapid progress in India and China; SSA continues to lag, and financing to sustain existing services and extend access is insufficient (UNICEF/WHO Joint Monitoring Programme, 2012; UN Water Global Analysis and Assessment of Sanitation and Drinking Water, 2012). In SSA – the most vulnerable to CC – we know that investment in water storage and conveyance is a priority. Why? Because countries like Ethiopia (previous slide) have water, but the water is distributed unevenly in space and time. Unmitigated hydrological variability is estimated to cost Ethiopia roughly one-third of its growth potential (World Bank, 2006). Building a hydraulic platform is essential…and we know that Africa harnesses only around 5-7% of its hydropower potential (green energy), and less on irrigation. But, we also know that ‘green’ in a carbon sense is not necessarily ‘inclusive’, ‘pro-poor’ or sustainable in the roundHence the need to invest in an equivalent institutional platform of water resources management to ensure that tradeoffs and risks are accounted for, and to ensure that new infrastructure simultaneously delivers improved livelihoods, equity and environmental sustainability. Investment in water resources management is long overdue, and depends on much better information on resource conditions and trends. Note the need to avoid the mistakes of higher and middle income countries (HICs, MICs) and their ‘capture and control’ approach to water resources development….climate resilience at huge environmental and social cost
CDKN supported GWP and AMCOW to develop the Framework for Water Security and Climate Resilient DevelopmentStrategic Framework: Launched at Africa Water Week in MayTechnical Background Document: Launched tomorrow at WWW5 Policy BriefsCapacity Development StrategyFramework will be presented by Alex in more detail, but at a high level it recommends activities at different stages of planning and investment cycles, for different decision-makers (central ministries, line ministries, local government, transboundary bodies, civil society), to develop no/low regrets investment decisions to achieve water security and climate resilience. Highlight that CDKN is a “happy donor”, we benefit from GWPs wide networks across Africa, their engagement style, the technical expertise they bring and we have great working relationships at an operational level
Plethora of tools existEssential that they are embedded in long term planning approaches. Integration in government decision making processesThe Framework fits into the wider WACDEP programme, which is a crucial factor to its useAndrew will introduce WACDEP in full, but briefly, it aims to:integrate water security and climate resilience in development planning processes, using the Framework as the underlying tool to do sodevelop partnerships and capacity of institutions and stakeholders to build resilience to climate change through better water managementdevelop “no regret” financing and investment strategies for water security and climate change adaptation CDKN are very pleased to be providing on going support to the programme, and in particular in the capacity building work package. This work is currently under procurement and will commence in October Aims to strengthen the institutional capacity of African planning departments in ministries, local government and broader to apply the Framework to their real life programmes and projects. The output will be enhanced institutional capacity to develop water-related development decisions, plans and investment strategies that are no/low regrets
