This document discusses the objectives of climate impact science after the Paris Agreement. It aims to inform mitigation efforts by assessing impacts associated with countries' NDCs and impacts avoided by increasing mitigation ambition. It also aims to inform adaptation by providing robust science. The document outlines how climate impact science can inform both mitigation and adaptation actions by assessing impacts and risks over different time horizons and scales, from global to local levels. It emphasizes linking this science to sustainable development goals and contexts.
The document discusses how actions to mitigate climate change through reducing deforestation and enhancing carbon stocks in agricultural and degraded landscapes can also help smallholder farmers adapt to climate change by increasing food security, productivity and biodiversity conservation. It describes agroforestry projects that combine climate mitigation, adaptation, and development benefits as an opportunity to achieve multiple goals at once. Community engagement and standards like the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standards are important for project quality, transparency and equitable outcomes.
Shwetal Shah presented on key points of the Paris Agreement and India's Nationally Determined Contributions. The Paris Agreement aims to limit global temperature rise well below 2°C through country commitments to reduce emissions and transition to renewable energy. India's NDCs include reducing emissions intensity by 33-35% from 2005 levels by 2030, achieving 40% electricity from non-fossil fuel sources, and creating a carbon sink of 2.5-3 billion tons through additional forestry and tree cover. The Climate Change Department of Gujarat coordinates policy and encourages green technology to build a sustainable, climate-resilient future for the state.
Ecosystem Services in plantations: from economic valuations to market-based i...CIFOR-ICRAF
This document summarizes a study that evaluated ecosystem services under different landscape management scenarios in Australia. The study assessed carbon sequestration, agriculture production, water, biodiversity and timber across 5 future land use scenarios: business-as-usual, mosaic farming landscapes, eco-centric, agro-centric, and abandoned land use. The analysis found that business-as-usual and abandoned land use were not sustainable and led to declining ecosystem services. Agro-centric produced good economic outputs but poor environmental outcomes. Mosaic farming landscapes and eco-centric produced better environmental outcomes but eco-centric was not commercially attractive. Supplemental payments were needed to restore the environment.
This document discusses mainstreaming biodiversity at the sector level. It notes that over 1 billion people rely on seafood and 1.6 billion on forests for livelihoods. Protected areas currently cover 15% of land and 3% of oceans. Mainstreaming seeks to prevent negative impacts on biodiversity from production sectors and promote beneficial activities. This can be done in fisheries through reduced bycatch gear, in agriculture through limiting fertilizers and pesticides, and in forestry through management plans. Effective mainstreaming requires understanding links between sectors and biodiversity, clear objectives, stakeholder engagement, communication, and strong institutions. Barriers include lack of economic valuation and data, as well as insufficient evidence of success. Tools include ecosystem assessments

Feeding the world while holding the carbon in forests and soilsSIANI
This document outlines the key issues around feeding the world while storing carbon in forests and soils. It discusses that food security and climate change mitigation are complex issues that involve more than just food production and carbon storage. It argues that a sustainable landscapes approach integrating forestry, agriculture and other land uses can help make progress on these issues. Evidence-based policies that make use of scientific findings will be important to develop solutions at scale. Overall, feeding the world and storing carbon can be achieved, but require investment, appropriate planning tools, use of science, and consideration of all factors influencing food security and climate change.
Climate - Smart Agriculture: adaptation, mitigation andfood security in the l...World Agroforestry (ICRAF)
This document discusses climate-smart agriculture, which aims to support food security through agricultural practices that help communities adapt to climate change impacts while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It provides examples of climate-smart practices like system of rice intensification and agroforestry that have increased yields, farmer incomes and mitigated emissions in many countries. However, food insecurity remains a major barrier that must first be addressed before farmers are able to adopt new practices and make long-term investments in improving resilience and reducing emissions. Overcoming barriers like insecure land tenure, lack of access to markets and training is also important to enable widespread adoption of climate-smart agriculture.
This slideshow was presented by Dr. Christine Negra at the 2014 ESP Conference in Costa Rica.

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.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

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.
