Global citizenship
This document outlines the objectives and content of a course on global citizenship. The course aims to help students understand global challenges, develop skills for inclusive global solutions, and appreciate principles of global citizenship. It will examine social, political, environmental, economic, cultural, and identity issues. Students will learn about India's role in sustainable global development. The course also discusses the world's top global risks according to the World Economic Forum, including involuntary migration, extreme weather, climate change failure, and natural catastrophes. Examples of past disaster events like train derailments, earthquakes, blackouts, and migration crises are provided to illustrate cascading global impacts.
Environmental Crisis and Sustainable
The document discusses several major environmental problems facing the world today, including pollution, climate change, overpopulation, and loss of biodiversity. It notes that industrial activities have led to toxic pollution in the ground and air, changes in weather patterns, and a waste disposal crisis. Deforestation and destruction of ecosystems have contributed to the loss of millions of years of biodiversity. The document also examines issues like acid rain, depletion of the ozone layer, and the health and environmental impacts of air pollution. It emphasizes that while some pollution is natural, human activities are largely responsible for the current environmental crisis through the burning of fossil fuels and other industrial processes.
3 wicked problems
This document discusses three wicked problems - environmental degradation, India's climate change goals, and exponential consumption. It notes issues like pollution of rivers and forests disappearing. India aims to reduce emissions and create carbon sinks. Consumption and energy use are growing exponentially. The document also discusses the ideas in the 1972 book "Limits to Growth" which warned about exponential growth exceeding limits and potential collapse. It notes continued exponential growth in population and industry since then. Finally, it outlines perspectives on addressing these problems through long term planning, responsibility for others, and systems thinking education.
Climate risk to long term asset value | Iain Watt | Forum for the Future
Climate change poses both physical and transitional risks to organizations. Direct physical risks include impacts on assets from changes in climate, while indirect risks involve disruptions to supply chains and markets from climate impacts. Organizations also face regulatory transitional risks from policies to reduce emissions, as well as risks from broader societal responses to climate change that can impact resources, costs, demographics, politics, business, and social norms. To ensure resilience, organizations need to consider not just direct climate impacts but also how climate changes might affect these various other factors over the lifespan of their developments.
Types of natural disasters tam-2014-01
This document discusses different types of natural and man-made disasters. It describes natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, tsunamis, winter storms, wildfires, and landslides. It also discusses man-made disasters including biological, chemical, nuclear, radiological threats and explosions. Specific examples of disasters in the United States and their impacts are provided for some disasters types. The document serves to educate about the nature and effects of different natural hazards and technological disasters.
Climate Change volates Human Rights
It is mainly the inhabitants of the global South who suffer from the effects of climate change. They are faced with the destruction of their living space and the violation of their human rights. At the same time, existing human rights standards offer the possibility of establishing points of reference during international climate negotiations to address such questions as adjustment programs designed to confront the effects of climate change, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, technology transfers, and the future of development. As a frame of reference, human rights standards can serve to accurately evaluate policies and to pinpoint their failures, particularly regarding how these policies affect the world’s weakest inhabitants. This publication by the political scientist Theodor Rathgeber uses case examples to illustrate the dangers faced by indigenous peoples in particular, as well as the tools the UN human rights system gives them to support their struggle for just climate policies.

Club of Rome: Climate Emergency Action Plan 2018
The document outlines a climate emergency plan proposed by the Club of Rome to address the existential threat posed by climate change. It calls for unprecedented emergency action to halve global carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve zero emissions by 2050. This would require immediately halting new fossil fuel investments and subsidies and transitioning energy systems to renewable sources. The plan also proposes new economic indicators beyond GDP, realistic carbon pricing, scaling up low-carbon technologies, and ensuring a just transition for affected communities to achieve climate stability.
The role of Geography in climate education: science and active citizenship
“Climate change concerns all of us, and everyone can take action for the climate” (European Commission, 2020). Our planet is experiencing significant and accelerated change caused by greenhouse gases emitted by human activities. We are gathering significant scientific data looking to understand and then seek solutions to the issue. The effects of climate are being felt on all continents and are predicted to become more and more intense, with severe consequences for our economies and societies.
To stop climate change from getting worse, the European Commission confirmed we must take urgent climate action so that we can adapt to the changes happening now, and in the future, to limit the damage. The European Commission has established an “Education for Climate” initiative which promotes education for and about climate change as a flagship initiative of the European Education Area. Developing relevant, high-quality teaching in schools will be fundamental for the future.
EUROGEO responded by sharing its experience and expertise in developing and promoting a series of innovative educational projects to help empower teachers and educators to establish active citizenship approaches, embracing scientific studies through geographical education.
This presentation establishes the framework of the EC “Education for Climate” initiative and share the tools and resources generated, including data dashboards and training materials (Teaching the Future project), an e-Book and application (MyEcoTrack), a teacher MOOC using GIS in teaching about climate (GIS-T) a teaching resource gallery (GeoDem), training resources of GEA (Growing into Eco-conscious adults) and an initial teacher education climate curriculum (TECCHED).
GEOLAND Landscape Policy Case Study: Flanders
The vision of GEOLAND is to establish a learning path for the Higher Education students and their professors so that they are able to apply their geospatial analysis knowledge in in decision-making for landscape management, planning and protection of NATURA 2000 sites across Europe.
GEOLAND provides the opportunity to students, citizens and stakeholders to become interested in the definition and implementation of landscape policies and to play an active part in setting sustainability indicators of desirable landscape quality objectives (Landscape Quality Objectives/LQO).
This is a case study of landscape policy in Flanders (Belgium)

ONLIFE Project
This is a presentation introducing the Erasmus Plus ONLIFE Project, prepared as part of first module of the training course developed for teachers and educators.
Since Covid-19 emerged as a pandemic in 2020 many governments around Europe were compelled to take extreme measures of lock down.
As a result, millions of Europeans were forced to stay home for an extended period of time. Unexpectedly all teachers had to teach from home, students continued learning from home and parents had to support their kids becoming in some ways home teachers.
This new reality found most teachers, unprepared to adapt their teaching.
In order to help address this, the ONLIFE project aims to develop a methodology which will support the life adaptability of teachers in the online teaching process in School Education so they can have hybrid competences as teachers.
ONLIFE aims at supporting the European Union priority Digital Educational Action Plan
ONLIFE stands for Empower hybrid Competences for Onlife Adaptable Teaching in School Education in times of pandemic.
The project aims at empowering teachers and school leaders to face the digital transformation of the educational system in time of crisis. Indeed, the goal is to reinforce the schools to provide high quality and inclusive digital education to their students through the development of:
1. A Guidebook “Pattern for enhancing digital technologies in School education
2. A Training course for teaching in School education
3. ONLIFE Learning Paradigm (OLP): Teacher Competences, Methods & Approaches in School education
4. Recommendation and guidelines for School System bodies in providing useful framework instruments to improve teaching quality.
What is Onlife?
A presentation introducing the concept of Onlife, prepared as part of the Erasmus Plus ONLIFE project examining online education and training.
The information era, along with the technologization process, makes it difficult to avoid the use of technological devices and the hyperconnectivity that they entail. In recent years, advances in technology have generated a considerable and extensive wave of changes and transformations in all areas of life, including the self. In the case of young people, the effects of this hyperconnectivity are being experienced with greater intensity since they are in the middle of their identity development. Hence, digital devices may be influencing the identity definition of our younger generations.
GEOLAND Presentation UN-GGIM
The GEOLAND Project was presented at the United Nations as part of the twelfth session of the United Nations Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM). The meeting was held from 3 – 5 August 2022.
GEOLAND deals with the concepts, data, tools and technologies concerning the monitoring of landscapes based on the rules of the European Landscape Convention (ELC). As a result the project aims to inform and advise students and their professors concerning the policy implications of undertaking landscape monitoring and assessment. GEOLAND will help students and professors to comprehend the problems that arise from heterogeneous applications of ELC and suggest possible solutions to these issues.
The GEOLAND project also seeks to reinforce European Policy in landscape conservation as well as national and local actions regarding the implementation of the European Landscape Convention.
It will seek to provide essential recommendations for policy makers and maintain a dialogue with relevant stakeholders, open for future development. The methodology employed is eventually expected to constitute a road map for relevant studies not only in Europe but also worldwide.
UN-GGIM is the relevant inter-governmental body on geospatial information in the United Nations, UN-GGIM reports on all matters relating to geography, geospatial information and related topics to the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).

MyEcoTrack Use Your Voice - Protect the Climate
Despite being a recently more discussed topic, climate protection is still overwhelmingly unclear for most people. Citizens need to actively change their behaviour towards a greener future, so they need to become more aware of the environmental challenges, measures to be taken and lifestyle changes.
This is especially the case for climate education. The My Ecotrack Project aims to provide basic knowledge on climate and environment supporting youth workers who work with young people without any proper climate education.
This presentation is part of a climate Factbook for youth workers which will be published online at https://myecotrack.eu/.
It addresses lifestyle changes we can make to support the drive to net zero.

Synopsis Project: training - Guide to specific fundraising tools for cultural...
The SYNOPSIS project concerns Storytelling and Fundraising for Cultural Heritage professionals.
Cultural heritage covers a variety of activities, and a system of values, traditions, knowledge, and lifestyles that characterise society.
The heritage sector has to deal with new challenges and it is therefore necessary to develop new professionalism, able to promote and support cultural heritage as it improves not only the overall economic growth and employment, but also social cohesion and environmental sustainability.
Storytelling and fundraising skills assume a fundamental role in connecting the past to the future. Cultural Heritage storytelling is concerned with “communicating through stories”, creating narratives through which a cultural heritage enters into an emphatic relationship with people, managing to arouse public emotion. The purpose is to engage people to protect, exploit cultural heritage, and support it financially.
This presentation deals with a range of specific tools necessary for fundraising for cultural heritage organisations

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.

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.

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.

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.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

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.
