Strategies for natural disastger management and mitigation paper - copyJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Destruction is integral part of construction. It is the law of the nature to keep the world going on, both positively and negatively. Accordingly, disasters are integral part of the creation of this planet, which also came into existence as a product of disaster itself. However, nature and context of disasters have changed over the years. Most of the disasters are now the outcome of the way human beings are treating this planet earth, environment and ecology. Ruthless exploitation of resources and destruction of nature, led by rapidly increasing human numbers and attitude of greed and consumerism have led to large number of disasters hitting the planet earth. Looking at the entire context with Disasters, becoming the cause of large scale destruction and damage, they have emerged as an area of major concern and focus of local, natural and international communities. India with more than two third of its area prone to one or other kind of natural disasters, has so far focused largely on post-disaster relief. This approach has not yielded much dividends. Adoption of pre-disaster preparedness to mitigate the losses and sufferings, appears to be a better option to mitigate /dilute the impact of disasters. Vulnerability Altas, depicting the nature and extent of area prone to disasters, should be made available to all user agencies including various professional institutions imparting education in architecture, engineering, planning etc. for managing the disasters at local/regional levels.
Considering the enormity of losses caused by natural disasters it will be appropriate to introduce disaster mitigation and management as one of subject of study in technical institution. Preparation of Regional Plans and Master Plans should clearly identify the disaster prone areas at local level and specify strategies for their safer development. In addition, Preparation of local vulnerability plans, increased role of technical institutions. making suitable amendments in local building bye-laws for making built environment disaster resistant, evolving simple and cost effective techniques of building construction and retrofitting. improving and upgrading locally available building materials and construction techniques, preparing model earthquake and cyclone resistant houses in disaster prone areas, including town planning and development norms as part of technical guidelines published by BIS could be used as options for managing effectively disasters. Global co-operation between nations would be needed for compiling large number of studies undertaken and success stories of disaster prevention, mitigation and management to help and support vulnerable states and nations . Adopting Holistic approach towards disaster mitigation and management and working with nature, restoring the damage caused to environment, ecology and bio-diversity will remain critical, crucial and valuable to minimize disasters

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Altered Terrain: Colonial Encroachment and Environmental Changes in Cachar, A...PriyankaKilaniya
The beginning of colonial policy in the area was signaled by the British annexation of the Cachar district in southern Assam in 1832. The region became an alluring investment opportunity for Europeans after British rule over Cachar, especially after the accidental discovery of wild tea in 1855. Within this historical context, this study explores three major stages that characterize the evolution of nature. First, it examines the distribution and growth of tea plantations, examining their size and rate of expansion. The second aspect of the study examines the consequences of land concessions, which led to the initial loss of native forests. Finally, the study investigates the increased strain on forests caused by migrant workers' demands. It also highlights the crucial role that the Forest Department plays in protecting these natural habitats from the invasion of tea planters. This study aims to analyze the intricate relationship between colonialism and the altered landscape of Cachar, Assam, by means of a thorough investigation, shedding light on the environmental, economic, and societal aspects of this historical transformation.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
