This document discusses the links between climate change and food security. It notes that the IPCC has found considerable evidence that human activities are causing climate change. Climate change is affecting food security through rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, seasonal extremes, glacial melting, floods, and sea water intrusion. Food production contributes to climate change through being energy intensive and requiring increased inputs for responsive varieties. The document advocates addressing national security through reducing vulnerabilities to climate change at individual, national and regional levels. It argues that climate change should be viewed as a security threat rather than just an environmental issue.

This document summarizes key findings from the IPCC report on climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability in Asia. It finds that Asia faces several risks from climate change, including increased flooding, drought, food insecurity, water scarcity, and spread of diseases. Adaptation options discussed include integrated water management, disaster risk reduction, coastal protection, and diversifying livelihoods. The report concludes there is low confidence in precipitation projections for Asia and adaptation must be tailored to local needs given varying climate hazards and vulnerabilities across the region.
Climate Change and Vulnerability in Ghana by Justice Ampofo Agyei
Climate change is one of the greatest environmental, social and economic threats to the livelihood of forest dependent communities in developing countries. The impacts of climate change on ecosystem services and the livelihood of communities surrounding the SRFR have been identified in this paper. These communities are very vulnerable due to their high dependence on ecosystem services and their low capacity to climate change impacts. Sectors that are adversely affected by climate change include agriculture, biodiversity, and water resources. These impacts are most likely to deepen poverty, food insecurity and the poor livelihoods of the communities. To address these negative impacts, the communities have adapted various adaptation strategies in agriculture, biodiversity conservation, and water resources management to minimize climate change impacts. To improve ecosystem services, adaptation to climate change impacts, the resilience and capacity of the local communities, it is important to put in place appropriate mitigation and adaptation strategies.
Key Message - Climate Change Adaptation: Focus on Nepal and South Asia
This document summarizes key messages from the IPCC report on climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability in Asia. It finds that Asia faces several increased risks from climate change in the near and long term, including flooding, drought, food and water shortages, diseases, and damage to ecosystems. However, adaptation measures can help reduce these risks, such as improved disaster management, water resources management, and developing more resilient crops. Effective adaptation takes into account unique regional and local vulnerabilities and circumstances.
Draft Climate Positioning Statements
Climate change is exacerbating extreme weather events and disasters, especially among vulnerable populations. Disaster risk reduction programs are essential to help at-risk populations manage risks and cope with disasters. Chronic climate change will displace populations directly due to environmental changes or indirectly due to conflicts over diminishing resources, requiring climate assessments and resettlement plans. Education and public investments in disaster preparedness increase a population's resilience and adaptability to climate change. While negotiations consider countries' rights to emissions, developing countries' rights to energy for development should be respected with the establishment of clean energy solutions.

This document discusses approaches to reducing vulnerability and increasing resilience to climate change in coastal areas of India. It summarizes the history of coastal zone management regulations in India and notes issues with frequent amendments diluting effectiveness. The M.S. Swaminathan Committee suggested balancing economic development, community development, and ecological development for sustainable development. However, current policies and resource allocations prioritize economic development, increasing vulnerability. Climate change impacts like sea level rise and stronger cyclones further exacerbate problems. The document advocates integrating sustainable development, climate change adaptation, and disaster risk reduction strategies in a mutually reinforcing manner to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience of coastal ecosystems and communities. It proposes testing this integrated approach in a cyclone-prone coastal districtKajiado county report summary
The document summarizes two workshops held in Kajiado County, Kenya on climate change adaptation and its impacts. In the first workshop, 21 participants from government and NGOs discussed how climate change is negatively affecting livelihoods in the county through more frequent droughts and unpredictable rainfall. The second workshop had 20 farmers, pastoralists, and extension workers identify several climate change hazards the county is experiencing, such as drying rivers and shifts in rainfall patterns and migration patterns. These hazards were found to be negatively impacting food security. The group proposed adaptation strategies like water harvesting and conservation, crop diversification, and irrigation to address the problems.
From IPCC WGII AR5 to AR6
This document summarizes key findings from Chapter 24 of the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report, which covers Asia. It finds that Asia faces increased risks of flooding, drought, water shortages, food insecurity, and water and vector-borne diseases due to climate change. Coastal areas and coral reefs are also threatened. The report notes water scarcity will be a major challenge and precipitation is hard to project at a sub-regional scale, creating uncertainty around water availability. Adaptation strategies like water management and more resilient crops are needed.

Climate change as problem of national and international security rather than ...Global Water Partnership Central and Eastern Europe
Climate change poses national and international security risks rather than just environmental issues. As the global population and consumption rises, climate change will exacerbate issues around food, water, and energy security. These converging trends could overwhelm societies' ability to adapt and increase conflicts over scarce resources. Climate change threatens to degrade human livelihoods through increased natural disasters, food insecurity, and energy poverty. National security strategies should directly address climate change risks and evaluate preparedness for extreme weather events and capacity to respond to climate impacts. Ambitious global climate policy that focuses on mitigation and adaptation is needed to prevent conflicts over issues like water and food security.Climate Change, from AR5 to AR6
The document summarizes key points from a presentation on climate change given by Joy Jacqueline Pereira in Almaty, Kazakhstan in August 2019. It discusses the impacts of climate change that have already been observed, and how risks will increase with higher levels of warming. Specific risks to Asia are highlighted, including increased heat mortality, drought, food insecurity, and water shortages. The impacts of limiting warming to 1.5°C versus 2°C are compared, showing lower risks at 1.5°C. Adaptation options are outlined. The IPCC's coverage of Asia in past reports is summarized, and more contribution from Central Asia is invited. Urgent emission reductions are needed to keep warming below dangerous
Climate Change, from AR5 to AR6
Joy Jacqueline Pereira presented on climate change impacts from the IPCC's 5th and upcoming 6th assessment reports. The presentation highlighted the widespread observed impacts of climate change already occurring, with increasing magnitudes of warming increasing risks. Continued high emissions increase risks including increased heat mortality, drought, food insecurity, and water shortages in Asia. Adaptation efforts are helping but greater ambition is needed to limit global warming to 1.5°C versus 2°C to reduce severe impacts on people, ecosystems, food production and biodiversity. The IPCC's 6th assessment will expand coverage of Central Asia.
Academia - SESSION 1: Findings of the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C
This document summarizes the key findings of an IPCC report on limiting global warming to 1.5°C. It notes that human activities have already caused 1°C of warming and we are on track to reach 1.5°C between 2030-2050 at the current rate. To limit warming to 1.5°C, global CO2 emissions would need to fall by about 45% by 2030 and reach net zero by around 2050. This would require rapid and far-reaching transitions across energy, land, urban and industrial systems through measures like renewable energy expansion and carbon capture technologies. Limiting warming to 1.5°C rather than 2°C would significantly reduce impacts on ecosystems, weather extremes,
Impacts of-climate-change
This document discusses the impacts of climate change. It outlines negative physical impacts like rising global temperatures and sea levels. Ecological impacts include shifts in species ranges and increases in wildfires and droughts. Socio-economic impacts involve threats to health from diseases and effects on agriculture, transportation, and food. The document also notes a few potential positive impacts of climate change like fewer winter deaths and possibly richer biodiversity.
Global Warming
Global warming is one of the most pressing problems facing humanity today, along with climate change, pollution, deforestation, and freshwater resource depletion. It is very likely caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases from human activity, which diminishes ecosystems' ability to naturally adapt. Two main types of air pollution - smog and soot - pose health and environmental risks, with particle pollution being more dangerous. Deforestation damages habitats and biodiversity when sufficient reforestation does not occur. Freshwater resources are vital but many face shortages due to factors like population growth and surface water pollution. Conservation of energy resources through efficient use and reduced consumption can help address these issues. Educating people about environmental problems and promoting recycling
Climatechange
The document discusses the impacts of climate change in India based on various climate events. It predicts that wet regions in India will experience more rainfall and flooding, causing issues for vulnerable populations like the poor. Drought-prone areas like Rajasthan will likely see increased drought frequency and severity. Extreme weather events like Cyclone Phailin will become more destructive due to climate change impacts on infrastructure. The Indian government has launched the National Action Plan on Climate Change to address these challenges through various initiatives focused on areas like renewable energy, sustainability, and agriculture.

IPCC Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability: Summary for...
The document summarizes the key findings of the Working Group II contribution to the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report on climate change impacts, adaptation and vulnerability. Some of the main points covered include:
- The report assessed risks and opportunities for societies, economies and ecosystems around the world from observed and future impacts of climate change.
- It found that risks are reduced under lower emissions scenarios compared to higher emissions scenarios, particularly in the second half of the 21st century.
- Key risks identified across sectors and regions include risks from sea level rise, flooding, extreme heat, food insecurity and loss of livelihoods and ecosystems.
- The risks are unevenly distributed and generally greater for disadvantaged communities.
AR5 Highlights - Working Group II
This document summarizes key findings from the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report on climate change:
1) Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, with many of the observed changes unprecedented over decades to millennia.
2) Impacts from climate change are already occurring on every continent and across the oceans. People, societies, and ecosystems are vulnerable to climate change, and exposure varies across communities.
3) Climate-related risks will increase with greater magnitudes of warming, including severe and widespread impacts to people and ecosystems. Urgent action is needed to adapt to the impacts of climate change and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Academia - Vulnerability of Iran to Climate Change and Future Projections
Climate change poses significant risks to Iran. Key sectors like agriculture, water resources, health and coastal systems are highly vulnerable to increasing temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and more frequent extreme weather. Without adaptation, climate change could reduce agricultural productivity and exacerbate water shortages. Future projections also indicate rising food prices and threats to livelihoods, biodiversity and human health. Adaptation is needed alongside global cooperation on emissions reductions to reduce climate change risks and impacts.

The document summarizes key findings from the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report and Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C. It finds that human influence has clearly warmed the climate and continued emissions will amplify risks. Limiting warming to 1.5°C would require global carbon neutrality by 2050 and deep emissions cuts by 2030, but provides greater benefits than 2°C. Rapid transitions are needed across energy, land, urban and industrial systems through measures like decarbonization, electrification, and carbon removal. Urgent action is required to mitigate climate change and ensure a sustainable future.

Climate change a threat to food security in Pakistan
Climate change poses a serious threat to food security in Pakistan. Agriculture is highly vulnerable to climate change as rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events are negatively impacting crop yields and productivity. This is exacerbated by Pakistan's growing population. Wheat production is projected to decline significantly by 2050 due to the effects of climate change, reducing per capita availability. To ensure future food security, Pakistan must implement mitigation and adaptation strategies like developing new crop varieties and irrigation techniques that can better withstand the impacts of climate change.
Political Economy of Climate Change Reforms
This document discusses the political economy of climate change reforms in Pakistan through three levels of analysis: macro, sectoral, and problem-driven. It maps stakeholders and analyzes the drivers and constraints within the political economy framework. While the government acknowledges climate change impacts through rhetoric and budget allocations, there remains a disconnect between words and actions. National consultations on green economy recommended focusing on sustainable development, clean energy, sustainable agriculture, and urbanization. The bottom line is that successful climate change interventions require understanding local capacity, leveraging social capital, introducing accountability, and finding least-cost solutions.

Paper Presented-Impact of Climate
Climate change poses a threat to food and nutrition security in Kenya. Over 10 million Kenyans currently suffer from chronic food insecurity and malnutrition. Climate change is projected to reduce agricultural production through increasing temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events. This would worsen food insecurity in Kenya by reducing food availability, access, and stability. The government has policies aimed at food security, the environment, and agriculture, but challenges remain in integrating and implementing these policies holistically.
IPCC Synthesis Report - Press Conference
This document provides a summary of the key findings from the Sixth Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. It finds that climate change impacts are intensifying with every increment of global warming and will disproportionately affect the most vulnerable regions and populations. While options exist to reduce emissions and adapt, current climate actions are insufficient and global emissions must be cut by nearly half by 2030 to limit warming. Fairness and increased climate financing for developing nations are essential to enable more ambitious climate action.

From the Ground Level to the Board Level: Considering Climate Change and its ...Turlough Guerin GAICD FGIA
The interplay between climate change and food safety is now well established by the research community. In this paper, I take the perspective of board directors of organisations in the fresh food supply chain. I consider what the implications of this interplay are for individual directors, the board, and the organisation as a whole. The key message? While the physical impacts from a changing climate on fresh food safety throughout the value chain at the ground level are evident, the way these risks crystallise as they make their way to the board level are less obvious. Primary producers, operations managers and researchers should be attuned to this. Directors need to ask the right questions, at the right time, and this will help ensure that organisations in the value chain prepare for the inevitable climate related impacts that will challenge our fresh food supply, protecting consumers, their brands, and reputations.IPCC AR6 SYR SlideDeck
This document summarizes key findings from the Sixth Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. It finds that climate change impacts are intensifying with every increment of global warming and will profoundly affect people and nature. While options exist to mitigate climate change by cutting emissions nearly in half by 2030, current efforts are insufficient. Fairness is needed as those contributing least to the problem are often most vulnerable to its impacts. Integrating climate adaptation and resilience measures with development can provide wider benefits while enabling climate action through political commitment and international cooperation.
Clean It Cool It - Climate Change Policy
Climate change refers to the rise in average surface temperatures on Earth caused primarily by human use of fossil fuels which releases greenhouse gases. These gases trap heat and can cause effects like rising sea levels, more extreme weather, and droughts. Public health is affected by disruptions from climate change like increased respiratory and cardiovascular disease. While there are barriers to addressing climate change like economic and technological limitations, widespread scientific consensus exists that the climate is changing and will negatively impact public health. Organizations are working at local, national and global levels to enact policies and solutions to limit global warming pollution and transition to cleaner energy sources.
Climate change and agriculture
Climate change is occurring now and having significant impacts. Unusual weather patterns are being experienced worldwide. July 2017 was the warmest July on record, and drought recoveries are taking longer. In the Philippines, recent typhoons have been unusually heavy and destructive. Climate change reduces agricultural productivity and economic growth in the Philippines by an estimated PHP 145 billion per year through increased food prices, losses to industry and services, and reduced consumer welfare. Investments in climate-smart agriculture including irrigation, research, and early warning systems can help address these impacts and promote long-term food security and economic growth.
1Food and Water SecurityJasmine JonesUniversity
The document discusses the challenges of ensuring global food and water security. It notes that food and water are interdependent as agricultural production requires water but also impacts water resources. Globalization has increased international trade and transferred food and water security issues from local to global levels, making sustainability complex due to global interdependencies. The document examines various factors influencing food and water security, such as population growth, consumption patterns, and the impacts of industrial agriculture on resources. It also explores potential solutions like improving efficiency, changing consumption rates, reducing waste, and implementing policies that promote sustainability.
"Climate Crunch" : Scenarios for the global economic environment
"Climate Crunch" : Scenarios for the global economic environment.
The recently published Global Risks 2014 report of the World Economic Forum identifies environmental risks as highest in terms of impact and likelihood. Those risks include both natural disasters, such as earthquakes and geomagnetic storms, and man-made risks such as
collapsing ecosystems, freshwater shortages, nuclear accidents and failure to mitigate or adapt to climate change. Failure of climate change mitigation and
adaptation is the fifth top risk concern according to
multi-stakeholders communities (see figure beside).
Climate change is evidence proven and this paper doesn’t intend to explore the causes. However, one can state that climate change is a systemic problem – it is one that touches all the others. As such by its systemic nature, it can cause breakdowns of entire systems and not only a component part. (

Climate Change, Disaster Risk and Hunger: Linking Availability, Access and Pr...Global Risk Forum GRFDavos
This document discusses the links between climate change, disaster risk, and hunger. It argues that while increasing food availability is important, access to food and protection are also critical to ensure food security for vulnerable populations under climate change. The document presents evidence from Ethiopia of the MERET program, which integrates natural resource management, community development, and social protection to improve both availability and access to food while increasing resilience to climate-related shocks for over 600,000 people. It concludes that future climate adaptation strategies must take a twin-track approach of both enhancing production and expanding protection for vulnerable groups.Food Security in Near East and North Africa
The document discusses food security challenges in the Near East and North Africa region. It notes that the region faces issues like limited water resources, high population growth, and dependence on food imports. To address these challenges, the document recommends a three pillar approach: 1) strengthening safety nets and access to resources, 2) enhancing domestic food supplies through investment, and 3) reducing market volatility through improved infrastructure and financial instruments. The global community has made reducing hunger a priority, and organizations like FAO are taking an integrated approach focused on sustainable resource management and nutrition to help food insecure regions.
Climate Change & Food Safety_2012
This document summarizes a research group studying the impacts of climate change on food safety in Korea. The group has 23 sub-projects and aims to develop predictive models and monitoring systems to assess climate change risks.

Food Safety Challenges due to Climate Change 2012
By Professor Park, Ki-Hwan, Department of Food Science & Technology, Chung-Ang University, presented at the Institute of Life Sciences Institute, 6th Asian Conference on Food and Nutrition Safety, November 2012
Nutrients food security and or environmental security
The document discusses the major challenges related to achieving both food security and environmental security given current and projected global population growth and climate change. It outlines issues like increasing demand for resources due to more people and stronger economies, the need to feed billions more people by 2050, threats from extreme weather and erosion to food production, groundwater depletion stressing aquifers, and the importance of conservation practices and policies for mitigating climate change impacts while adapting to ensure future food security. Good policies and conservation can help achieve food security with healthy soils and water, while bad policies and lack of conservation threaten these goals.
Converging Insecurities
Climate change, water scarcity, rising energy costs, and increasing global food demand are converging threats that must be addressed together through integrated solutions. Agricultural systems need to use resources like climate, water, energy, and nutrients more efficiently while transitioning to renewable energy and sustainable practices. Long-term food security in Timor-Leste requires building agricultural knowledge and capacity, strengthening legal frameworks, conducting environmental research, and considering these interconnected issues now to determine future success.

The document discusses implementing the Adaptation Fund's Environmental and Social Policy (ESP) and Gender Policy. It outlines the main characteristics of the ESP, including its risk-based approach. It then details each of the ESP's 15 principles and provides guidance on how implementing entities can assess compliance. This includes identifying potential environmental and social risks and impacts. The document also discusses integrating the Gender Policy with the ESP and how gender should be considered in project proposals. Finally, it provides a case study example of applying the ESP risk identification process to a hypothetical infrastructure project.Equity and Differentiation
The Paris Agreement reflects principles of equity and common but differentiated responsibilities in setting national circumstances and commitments. It acknowledges developing countries' sustainable development needs and historic contributions less to climate change. While it does not use the terms Annex 1 and non-Annex 1, differentiation is embodied throughout, such as in Article 13 which notes financial and other support responsibilities between developed and developing parties.
Paris Agreement
India played a key role in framing the Paris Agreement, which sets targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from 2020 to 2030. The agreement requires countries to submit new climate action plans every 5 years, with progress reviews in 2023 and every 5 years thereafter. It will take effect once 55 countries responsible for at least 55% of global emissions have ratified it, and establishes provisions for increasing transparency around climate actions and support.
Climate Finance from COP21
This document summarizes key aspects of climate finance from COP21. It notes that developed countries are expected to continue leading in climate finance mobilization, but encourages other countries to contribute voluntarily. The $100 billion per year goal is not mandatory and will only be revised once before 2025. Public funds will play a significant role in what counts as climate finance. Adaptation finance is emphasized but the language is weak, focusing on grants over loans from public sources. Loss and damage will involve risk insurance cooperation. A new technological framework was agreed to facilitate technology transfer and finance support.
Making Sustainability the Next Metric: The SDGs and Climate Change
The SDGs and Climate Change
The SDGs were adopted in 2015 after a multi-year process and built upon the MDGs. Goal 13 focuses on climate change and includes targets around adaptation, mainstreaming climate measures into policies, education and awareness, financing, and capacity building. There are synergies between climate change and many other goals around issues like food security, resilient agriculture, water, and energy. However, there are also some discords, such as economic goals not being truly transformative regarding limits to growth. Full implementation of climate and sustainability agendas requires integrating them into development planning, financing from multiple sources, identifying technology needs, monitoring systems, and enabling governance and partnerships.
Biodiversity and Climate Change: Avenues for Adaptation
Biodiversity and climate change - Avenues for adaptations by Sarath Ekanayake discusses how biodiversity in Sri Lanka provides essential services but is threatened by climate change, and outlines strategies to help biodiversity adapt. Sri Lanka has a great diversity of ecosystems and species, and biodiversity underpins the country's economy, food/water security, and tourism. However, climate change is causing issues like increased flooding and drought that impact forests, agriculture, and human-wildlife conflict. The document recommends identifying vulnerable biodiversity, reducing non-climate pressures, and enhancing resilient landscapes through actions like conserving forests, controlling fires, and accommodating wildlife in urban areas to help biodiversity adapt to climate change impacts.
Adapting to Climate Change
1) Adaptation to climate change involves managing risks through reducing vulnerability. Risks can be systemic like impacts on energy, agriculture, and sea level rise, or idiosyncratic. Vulnerability depends on exposure and ability to manage risks.
2) Changing behaviors to adapt requires both awareness of impacts and willingness to contribute to social goals. Factors like social norms, costs, and preferences influence willingness.
3) Civil society has an important role in leading adaptation by advising on plans and overseeing implementation. The Joint Principles for Adaptation provide guidelines for inclusive planning, accountability, flexibility, and support for vulnerable groups.
Climate Change - priorities and Concerns for Sri Lanka
This document discusses climate change priorities and concerns for Sri Lanka. It notes that Sri Lanka has high biodiversity, exceeding many larger countries in Asia. Climate change poses a major challenge to food security in Asia, likely reducing agricultural potential the most in the region. International agreements recognize the importance of sustainable agriculture and investment to achieve food security and nutrition goals. The UNFCCC climate conference aims to achieve an international agreement to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius and highlight agriculture's role in climate change resilience and reducing greenhouse gases.
Climate Change: Priorities and Concerns for Sri Lanka
Climate Change: Priorities and Concerns for Sri Lanka discusses Sri Lanka's climate change priorities and concerns. Global emissions must be reduced to 42 GtCO2e by 2100 to limit warming to 2°C, but current country commitments under the INDCs will only reduce emissions by 12-14 GtCO2e, leaving a gap. As a result, global average temperature increase by 2100 is estimated to be 3-3.5°C without further commitments. Sri Lanka's long term power generation plan aims to increase renewable energy and reduce dependence on oil and coal.

The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
