Campus Collaboration
The Humboldt Energy Independence Fund (HEIF) was established in 2007 by Humboldt State University students to finance energy reduction projects through student proposals. HEIF collects $10 per student each semester to fund projects that reduce the campus's energy impact. Example projects include retrofitting lighting systems in the Redwood Bowl and library, optimizing server usage, and installing solar panels. HEIF reviews proposals, provides advising, and funds the most viable projects, often collaborating with the Green Campus Program. The take home message is that synergy between groups like HEIF and GCP can enable significant energy savings and emissions reductions through student-led initiatives.
Assessing the achieved and missed co-benefits of INDCs
The document analyzes the co-benefits achieved and potential additional co-benefits of countries' INDCs by 2030 related to cost savings from fossil fuel imports, prevented deaths from air pollution, and jobs created in renewable energy. It finds that the INDCs of EU, US, China, Canada, and Japan could achieve $41 billion in cost savings, prevent 115,000 air pollution deaths, and create 1 million renewable energy jobs by 2030 compared to current policies, but a 100% renewable scenario could more than double these benefits. It concludes that considering these co-benefits could increase climate ambition.
Long-term impacts of 2020 COVID-19 pandemic on EU energy dimension

REFACOF is an African women's network focused on promoting women's tenure rights to land and forests. Involving women in climate change and natural resource management programs is important because women play a key role yet have limited access and control. REFACOF works to advocate for women's participation in decision making around issues like REDD+ in Cameroon. ICRAF's theory of change could be more gender sensitive by mainstreaming gender considerations into goals, strategies, and indicators to effectively address gender, natural resources, and climate change. Lessons indicate the need for gender as an institutional choice and gender-responsive planning, programs, and budgets to move from imperative to action on gender issues.10 Kpc Rao Objective1 Chickpea

Futre Of Agroforestry Science Dg Seminar
The document discusses how major institutions are increasingly recognizing agroforestry's potential to address issues like climate change, poverty, and land degradation. Climate change in particular is driving interest, as agriculture and forestry account for 20% of greenhouse gas emissions. The rising threat of climate change means farming systems worldwide will need to reverse carbon emissions through practices like agroforestry that store carbon in soils and vegetation. Agroforestry thus offers a way to simultaneously combat climate change and poverty through sustainable land use.

This document evaluates several options to reduce NTU's carbon footprint on a daily basis. Option 4, modifying the campus to be greener by installing solar panels and green buildings, is identified as the best long-term solution despite its high initial costs. It is estimated to reduce carbon emissions the most at 41 tons daily and save $523 daily in costs. While other options like increasing online learning or compacting timetables also lower emissions, they have drawbacks in implementation or effectiveness. An optimal approach may be combining all the options based on NTU's financial resources to maximize environmental sustainability.
Ab0401 sem 4 group 10 co2 australia e learning
The document discusses reducing NTU's carbon footprint through various options. It identifies the main carbon emission contributors as electricity consumption, transportation, paper, and waste. Options considered are e-learning, buying carbon offsets, and converting buildings to green. E-learning could reduce transportation emissions but increase home electricity use. Offsets only temporarily reduce emissions. Converting to green buildings through motions sensors and solar panels provides long-term reduction at an initial cost. The recommendation is to implement e-learning gradually and use offsets short-term, while prioritizing converting buildings to permanently lower NTU's carbon emissions.

Resilience of rubber based agroforestry facing global change
1. Tree-soil-crop interactions in rubber agroforestry systems can be managed at the plot, farm, and landscape levels. At the plot level, a mixed-age stand can be maintained for cash flow while diversifying. At the farm level, credit can cover replanting costs until cash flow is positive. At the landscape level, policy harmonization across forest and agriculture is important.
2. Agroforestry is understood as applying at the plot, landscape, and governance levels, reflecting the interface of agriculture and forestry. It involves tree-soil-crop-livestock interactions as well as interactions between tree cover, livelihoods, and ecosystem services across landscapes.

This document discusses agroforestry systems for environmental restoration in Brazil that balance social and ecological functions. It outlines that agroforestry can: (1) maintain ecosystem structure/functions like biodiversity and soil quality while providing social/economic functions for family farms; (2) perform restoration in an economically feasible way by including people and accelerating natural succession; and (3) improve livelihoods through appropriate management. However, balancing trade-offs between social/environmental benefits and costs is challenging. The document then provides examples of agroforestry systems for restoration in Brazil and their costs, benefits for climate change adaptation/mitigation, food security, and carbon storage potential.Vulnerabilities of forests and forest dependent people
This document discusses the vulnerability of forest-dependent people and forests to climate change. It notes that over 1 billion people depend on forests for their livelihoods, while 1 billion hectares of land are under agroforestry worldwide. Climate change poses direct risks like increased temperatures and wildfires, and indirect risks through impacts on species and ecosystems. Potential transition issues from policies like REDD+ could negatively impact land and tree rights of indigenous groups. The document argues that comprehensive vulnerability assessments are needed using qualitative and quantitative methods to understand all vulnerabilities, include stakeholders, and identify good practices to address risks to forests and forest-dependent communities from climate change.
Pests and diseases of trees in Africa: review of a growing emergency
An increasing multitude of insect pests and pathogens is targeting indigenous trees of natural forests, agroforestry systems, and exotic trees in planted forests in Africa. This is raising major concerns for a continent already challenged by adaptations to climate change, as it threatens a vital resource for food security of rural communities, economic growth, and ecosystem conservation. The accidental introduction through trade of non‐native species in particular is accelerating, and it adds to the damage to tree‐based landscapes by native pests and diseases. Old‐time and new invaders heavily impact planted forests of exotic eucalypts, pines, and acacias, and are spreading quickly across African regions. But many non‐native pathogens are recently found affecting important indigenous trees.

Various integrated land management techniques are being implemented and tested, including Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR), cereal/legume intercropping, microdosing of fertilizers, and restoring degraded lands. These techniques are improving soil fertility and crop yields when combined. The document outlines several partnerships working to scale these efforts across Niger, including restoring over 175 hectares of degraded land managed by 11,970 women generating more income. There is growing demand from farmers and partners to expand training and testing of integrated packages to improve livelihoods and food security.

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.
