The coalition provides opportunities for institutions to demonstrate leadership on sustainability and climate issues important to the public.
Integrated watershed management chiang mai 11.3.11
This document outlines Andrew Campbell's experience in watershed management in Australia over 30 years and reflects on different approaches taken. It discusses the evolution from local landcare groups in the 1980s-1990s, to regional catchment organizations in the 1990s-2000s, to a more targeted asset-based investment approach since 2007. However, these approaches were implemented sequentially rather than in parallel, which was a mistake as they are complementary. Good governance that integrates across sectors, scales and basins is now needed to address interconnected challenges like climate change, carbon, water, energy and food.

Pam Dashiell describes efforts by the Center for Sustainable Engagement and Development to restore degraded cypress forests in Bayou Bienvenue north of New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward. Restoring these wetlands provides a buffer against flooding and storm surges. However, levees and channels have drained the area of sediment and allowed saltwater intrusion, reducing the cypress forest and exacerbating flooding in the Lower 9th Ward during Hurricane Katrina. Local advocates and organizations are working to rebuild the Lower 9th Ward through projects like urban agriculture, restoring vacant lots to provide healthy food while boosting economic opportunities.

The document summarizes a project by University of Wisconsin-Madison master's students to help restore the Bayou Bienvenue wetlands in New Orleans and support the surrounding community. The students conducted research on wetland ecology and social issues. They provided reports and assistance to the Holy Cross Neighborhood Association and Center for Sustainable Engagement and Development, who are working to restore the wetlands, rebuild storm protection, and engage the local community in environmental action and monitoring. Initial impressions were that ecological restoration was possible but restoration must also address social and economic needs of the community.Integration of culture with environment
This document discusses the integration of culture and environment. It defines integration as joining or mixing with different groups while maintaining one's own culture. Culture is the sum of learned behaviors shared by a society. Environment refers to surrounding circumstances and conditions. Cultural integration occurs when people adopt aspects of another culture while maintaining their own, such as immigrants keeping familiar cultural practices at home. Integration also involves introducing elements of one's culture to a new environment, like food, music or religion. The document then outlines various approaches to studying culture, including anthropological, ethnographic, archaeological, and examining aspects like language, aesthetics, education, religion, attitudes and social organization. It concludes by mentioning cultural diffusion and providing examples.

The document discusses how neighborhood factors like access to healthy food, safe spaces, and environmental hazards influence health outcomes. It finds that racial residential segregation concentrates poverty and limits socioeconomic opportunities for communities of color. Segregation is associated with worse health, including higher exposure to pollution and fewer parks/recreational areas in non-white neighborhoods. The evidence suggests addressing social determinants of health through multisector place-based and people-based strategies like improving environmental conditions and expanding educational opportunities to reduce health inequities.Promise of Sydney: Priorities

It describes selecting "restoration ready" projects that can become "investment ready" through partnerships between local teams and external financiers/supporters. Key factors in selection include the match between what financiers can deliver in terms of economic, social, natural, and inspirational returns and local needs, as well as political stability, level of land degradation, and land tenure issues in the project area.
Environmental Justice Tour
A Powerpoint describing the Environmental Justice Tour for an undergraduate learning experience.
Students often recognize that air, water, and soil pollution have negative effects on human health but may not recognize that these problems exist in their own communities. In many parts of the United States there are sources of pollution located very close to neighborhoods especially in low-income areas. The field trip experience described here explores the relationship between economically depressed neighborhoods and environmental problems through the lens of social justice. This field trip involves witnessing how several low-income neighborhoods are located near coal-fired power plants, open-air coal ash landfills, chemical plants, and a Superfund site. During the experience students have the opportunity to make observations and discuss what they have witnessed in the context of why these problems exist, who is responsible for these problems and how they might be fixed. This field trip experience was developed by Mr. Tim Darst at the Passionist Earth and Spirit Center in Louisvile, Kentucky and is offered on a regular basis for college students, high school groups and community members. This kind of experience could be adapted to many other parts of the country that experience environmental problems, either urban (as described above) or rural (i.e., agricultural problems, deforestation, etc.).

Environmental accounting in china
The document summarizes interviews conducted with Chinese accountants about environmental accounting practices in their organizations. Key findings include:
1) Accountants reported environmental accounting activities like accounting for environmental levies paid to the government, measuring pollution costs, and tracking energy usage. However, most organizations did not publicly report this information.
2) Organizational environmental policies focused on meeting government standards but did not reference traditional Chinese philosophies. Policies emphasized concepts like sustainable development and maximizing social benefit.
3) While some accountants held personal philosophies influenced by traditions like Taoism and Buddhism, these views did not influence organizational policies or environmental accounting practices. External factors like government, markets, and foreign parent companies had greater
Abstract for scotland paper godschalk et al
This paper will explore the integration of three approaches - Environmental Management Accounting (EMA), Material Flow Cost Accounting (MFCA), and Cleaner Production (CP). While all three share the goal of reducing environmental impacts and creating financial savings, they differ in origins, application levels, scope, focus, and methodology. Recent developments have highlighted linkages between EMA, MFCA, and CP. The development of an international EMA standard and MFCA standard point to similarities between the two. MFCA and CP also have strong similarities in approach. This paper will examine potential synergies from integrating application of EMA, MFCA, and CP.
Presentation ema cp mfca for scotland conference 2010
This document discusses Environmental Management Accounting (EMA), Material Flow Cost Accounting (MFCA), and Cleaner Production (CP), comparing their objectives, applications, methodologies, and benefits. It argues that integrating EMA, MFCA, and CP can create synergies by providing a comprehensive picture of physical flows, costs, and potential solutions to increase efficiency and reduce environmental impacts and costs. EMA provides an overall financial and physical picture to identify areas for further analysis. CP generates technical and non-technical solutions. MFCA provides detailed material flow analysis. Together, their integrated application supports continuous improvement through cost-benefit analysis and environmental reporting.
Environmental accounting in china the influence of
This document summarizes a study that examines the influences on how Chinese accountants formulate environmental accounting practices, with a focus on philosophical influences from Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. The study uses interviews from accountants in Shenyang and Shanghai to understand how they measure environmental costs and impacts. While some accountants expressed personal philosophies related to harmony with nature, most saw government regulations, markets, and scandals as bigger influences than philosophy on their environmental accounting work.
Social Accounting from a Social Movement Theory Perspective
This document discusses social accounting from the perspective of social movement theory. It examines how social accounting movements engage in critical interventions through various activist communities. It also discusses framing techniques used by social movements, such as diagnostic, prognostic, and motivational framing. Framing contests around issues like climate change and health inequality are explored. The role of social accounting in these framing contests is questioned. Towards developing a typology of "shadow accounts" and their use as framing processes.
