This presentation by Tiani, Kengoum and others focuses on the adaptation/mitigation synergies that can be achieved in the Congo Basin. It explores the question whether those synergies are even necessary, which opportunities and constraints they provide and if they are sufficient.
Facilitated by SNV, this event was held on April 24 to coincide with the Asia Pacific Forestry Week (APFW), which occured over April 21-26. The event featured a special Guest speaker - David Huberman - who was visiting Hanoi for the APFW - and focussed on REDD, the forestry mechanism proposed for the post-2012 UNFCCC protocol.

This presentation is a compilation of four that were given on 30 November 2011 at an official UNFCCC COP17 side-event organised by CIFOR: 'How is REDD+ unfolding on the ground?'. The event discussed early insights on the capability of REDD+ projects to deliver on their goal of sequestering forest carbon while providing a range of co-benefits. The information presented draws mainly on findings of CIFOR's Global Comparative Study on REDD+, and covers the status and challenges of REDD+ projects on the ground;
challenges encountered in establishing REDD+ in Africa;
the policy and economic context in which REDD+ projects is unfolding; and
the status of monitoring, reporting and verification in setting up REDD+.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

14. Conclusions
14
The diversity of informal institutional arrangements resulted
in the big variation of transaction costs in our studied areas
The extent of transaction costs was relatively large for
households.
Community contract: regular meetings (34%) and self-monitoring
(57%) constituted a large proportion of the total transaction costs;
Individual contract: self-monitoring (98% of total TCs)
Costs for conflict resolutions and for participating in official
monitoring and verification are relatively small for households in
both types of contract
The NPV per hectare per year was higher for households
under individual contract than for those under the
community contract
15. Recommendations
15
High transaction costs incurred by households
can become a barrier to participate in an environmental
management program
might lower the real benefits obtained by households
A higher government subsidy would be needed to match the
amount given out under the individual contract;
To increase the payment under individual contract to
achieve a higher quality of planted forests with more woody
trees
