The Woodland Carbon Code (WCC) is a voluntary standard for woodland carbon sequestration projects in the UK. It was developed over three years by the Forestry Commission to provide clarity, consistency, and transparency for carbon projects and reassure investors. The WCC framework includes requirements for measuring baseline emissions, leakage, and project carbon sequestration from tree biomass, soil, and management effects. Projects must be certified against the WCC by an accredited certification body and undergo validation when starting and verification every five years. To date, 39 projects have registered under the WCC, which are projected to sequester over 750,000 tonnes of CO2e over 100 years through creating over 2,200
This CPD webinar covers the need for a Circular Economy and describes an ideal one. Legislation and guides relevant to the lighting industry are outlined. Circular Design principles are examined related to luminaire design, materials, manufacturing and ecosystem.

The Asia CCUS Network has been successfully launched on 22-23 June 2021 with initially 13 countries (all ASEAN member countries, the United States, Australia, and Japan) and more than 100 international organisations, companies, financial and research institutions that share the vision of CCUS development throughout the Asian region.
The Network members have expressed their intention to participate to share the vision of the Asia CCUS Network that aims to contribute to the decarbonisation of emissions in Asia through collaboration and cooperation on development and deployment of CCUS.
The Asia CCUS Network provides opportunities for countries in the region to work and collaborate on the low emission technology partnership that will eventually help to build countries’ capability to lower the cost of CCUS technology and its deployment through the collaboration of research and innovation.
At the 2nd Asia CCUS Network (ACN) Knowledge Sharing Conference, the Asia CCUS Network is very pleased to invite experts from the Department of Energy, United States of America (USDOE) to share their insights and experiences about CCUS development and policy to support the deployment of CCUS technology.
The ACN will be an active forum to bridge the knowledge gap on CCUS technologies, policy development to support the development and deployment of CCUS in Asia. Thus, this conference hosted in collaboration with IEA will help to bring in update knowledge, opportunity for investment in CCUS in Asia.

With 80% of the built environment already in existence today, the choices we make in delivering low carbon, environmentally considered solutions must go beyond simply considering the operational efficiency of an installation. This presentation will look at what good lighting looks like for an existing space and how we can utilise already installed assets to deliver the lowest carbon impact without compromising on the needs of people.
Presented by Tim Bowes MSLL, Head of Lighting Application at Whitecroft Lighting.
This presentation is an overview of the WEEE Directive for Producers, Installers and End Users with information relating to the changes for 2015 through to end of the transitional period.

Breaking new ground – Farming and forestry providing new opportunities for Cl...EMEX
No longer a poor relation, Farming, Forestry, Land use and Land use change are increasingly recognised, as essential in reducing carbon and GHG emissions.
NFU Chief Adviser, Jonathan Scurlock will overview the potential, outlining progress, key trends, developments and opportunities, including bio-energy and renewable technologies.
Head of Economics for the Forestry Commission, Pat Snowdon will present progress and developments behind the UK’s Woodland Carbon Code as a leading UK initiative for credible and assured for land-based carbon sequestration.
The global demand for achieving the net zero emission target by 2050 has pushed governments all over to adapt and adopt advanced carbon removal technologies to go carbon negative.
It is, indeed, an important topic of discussion, because a carbon free environment is the need of the hour to save our planet. And, therefore, BIS Research is glad to announce its upcoming webinar on this particular subject.
Agenda:
The main agenda of this webinar is to understand and explore the following:
• Primary sources of carbon emissions and associated environmental issues
• Carbon dioxide removal – key technology and adoption scenario
• Carbon dioxide removal (CDR): trends and key market developments
• Carbon dioxide removal as a credible solution
• Conclusion and future outlook

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. Development
• Developed over last 3 years – FC lead
• Piloted early 2011 both projects and
certification bodies
• Launched July 2011
• FC leading development with a Carbon
Advisory Group
• Science input from FR and wider
• However it is still developing
forestry.gov.uk/carboncode
3. Why have a Woodland Carbon Code?
•Increasing interest in using
woodlands to capture carbon
•There was no uniform
standard, consistency or
clarity in UK carbon projects
•Some potential investors
were cautious
•Woodland creation is cost-
effective climate change
mitigation
•The UK government wishes
to encourage private funding
of woodland creation.
forestry.gov.uk/carboncode
4. It’s not just about carbon….
forestry.gov.uk/carboncode
5. What might the WCC do?
Offer clarity
Encourage a and
consistent transparency to Provide rigorous
approach to customers carbon
woodland carbon measurement
projects protocols
Construct a
Reassure the framework that
market and may support a
investors about compliance market
for woodland
voluntary carbon credits in
woodland carbon the future
projects
forestry.gov.uk/carboncode
6. How it fits in
• All UK woodland creation reported in the UK’s
GHG emissions inventory (as per Kyoto)
• UK govt doesn’t allow Kyoto ‘offsets’ in the UK
• DEFRA GHG reporting guidelines
now allow companies to report
carbon sequestration in the UK
• Code doesn’t create carbon ‘offsets’
that can be traded in EU ETS or used
in Carbon Reduction Commitment.
forestry.gov.uk/carboncode
7. The Code - Scope
Includes:
• Woodland creation
• Carbon sequestration and emissions
within a woodland
Doesn’t include:
• Changes to management of existing
woodlands
• Carbon stored in forest products
• Substitution effects (wood products or
fuel)
• Avoided emissions from previous
landuse
forestry.gov.uk/carboncode
8. What to count?
Baseline – Changes to carbon within project boundary
in the absence of the project
Leakage – Ongoing emissions outside project
boundary as result of project
Project Carbon Sequestration – Changes to carbon
within project boundary as a result of the project
Includes Sequestration/emission from:
Tree Biomass, Non-tree biomass, Soil, Management
