Jobs_After_Coal_BM_WEB
The coal industry has played a large role in Queensland's economy over the past 30 years, particularly in central and western regions. Coal production has levelled off at around 200 million tonnes annually in recent years after decades of growth. Around 85-90% of coal is exported, mainly to Asia, with thermal coal making up 33% of production and coking coal 67%. However, the coal industry is not the sole driver of Queensland's economy, which is dominated by the service industry at 60% of economic output. The future of coal is uncertain due to various economic and environmental factors discussed in the report.

The document discusses the threat posed by nuclear weapons and strategies for reducing that threat. It notes that nearly 20,000 nuclear weapons currently exist across 9 countries. If one was ever used, it could result in millions of deaths and trillions of dollars in damages. The document then outlines Ploughshares Fund's strategy of investing in innovative approaches, capacity building for established organizations, and targeted policy campaigns. Their goal is to reduce nuclear stockpiles, prevent new nuclear states, and promote stability in conflict regions to work towards a world safe from nuclear destruction.
Planet earth magazine
The document discusses several topics related to climate change and the environment:
1) For the past few years, climate change has been widely discussed but action has not matched the discussion. Winter is already feeling the effects of climate change with seasons merging into one another.
2) The pressures on the planet come from human lifestyles as the world spends over $7 trillion annually on energy and infrastructure. While research aims to address climate change, individual actions are also needed.
3) The financial crisis, food supply, energy, and climate change are all interlinked issues that require global cooperation to address. The response to these challenges will help determine the future prosperity and sustainability of the global economy.

The document encourages youth involvement in sustainability issues and outlines several major topics of concern, including population growth, water scarcity, climate change, and biodiversity loss. It argues that individual and collective action is needed to address these challenges and transition to a greener economy. Recommended reading and resources are listed at the end.
Meeting the Challenge of Peak Oil at the Local Level
Meeting the Challenge of Peak Oil at the Local LevelAmerican Planning Association - Massachusetts Chapter
The document summarizes key points about peak oil and its implications. It discusses how the world's oil production will likely peak in the near future as existing oil fields decline, and global oil demand is expected to outpace declining production. This will lead to higher oil prices and economic difficulties as less oil becomes available to fuel continued growth. Planning and development will need to adapt to a future with less available energy by promoting conservation, local production, and reduced reliance on long distance transportation of goods and people.Sustainability
This document discusses sustainability, sustainable development, and how to achieve sustainability. It defines sustainability as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. Sustainable development aims to maintain socioeconomic systems indefinitely while fulfilling human needs and preserving the environment. The current socioeconomic system prioritizes exponential growth and is unsustainable due to finite resources. To achieve sustainability, the document proposes replacing the current system with a "Technocracy" where experts manage production to maximize living standards for as long as possible using energy credits instead of money.

Sustainability & its goals PPT
The document discusses sustainability and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It provides the following key details:
- Sustainability refers to meeting present needs without compromising future generations' needs. The 17 SDGs were agreed upon in 2015 to promote sustainability globally by 2030.
- The SDGs apply universally to all nations and sectors. They recognize the interconnectedness of goals around issues like poverty, hunger, health, education, gender equality, water and sanitation, energy, economic growth, infrastructure, inequality, cities, consumption, climate change, oceans, forests, society, and partnerships.
- Achieving the SDGs requires transformation in how humanity lives on Earth to do so sustainably
Great Lakes Waste and Environmental Justice
Zero Waste Detroit is a coalition advocating for curbside recycling and an end to waste incineration in Detroit. Their goals are to ensure no city funds go to incineration, expand curbside recycling, and facilitate green jobs. The document argues incineration is more costly than landfilling, and recycling creates more jobs than burning trash. It encourages people to join Zero Waste Detroit and contact the mayor to advocate expanding recycling and no funds for incineration.
Mining Environmental Management - 2006
This document discusses issues around sustainable development in the mining industry. It covers the following key points:
1) There is debate around how much mining companies contribute to sustainable development in poor countries. Critics say they do not do enough to reduce poverty and promote sustainability, while supporters argue they provide important infrastructure.
2) Both mining companies and humanitarian organizations have had limited success in reducing poverty and improving living conditions. They should work together more to achieve development goals.
3) Sustainable development presents challenges and opportunities for mining companies. They must decide whether to operate sustainably or risk destroying value by ignoring environmental and social issues. Their approach could help or hinder development in host countries.
Senior Seminar Thesis
This document provides an abstract and introduction for a research paper on the Ogoni people of Nigeria's Niger Delta region. It discusses how oil extraction in Nigeria has led to economic and political underrepresentation of local communities and environmental degradation. The paper aims to explore the connections between underrepresentation of the Ogoni people, corruption in the Nigerian government, unequal resource allocation, and resulting environmental problems in the Niger Delta through a case study approach. It outlines the research questions, methodology, and frameworks that will be used in the analysis.
Newsle terre vol-1-issue-2-28th-jan-2014
This document provides a summary of changes in fuel efficiency standards and energy independence in the United States. It discusses how the U.S. has moved towards reducing its oil imports and dependence through increased domestic production of shale gas, as well as new fuel efficiency standards set in 2025 that will cut vehicle CO2 emissions in half compared to 2010 levels. While critics worry this may increase driving, past efficiency improvements have not shown a rebound effect of increased driving undermining the environmental benefits. The document advocates for India to accelerate efforts to improve fuel efficiency to levels beyond the U.S. and China in order to reduce emissions and dependence on fuel.
Compressed air vehicle report
Fossil fuels are being rapidly depleted and their combustion is causing environmental problems. This is leading automobile manufacturers to develop alternative fuel vehicles. Compressed air is proposed as one possible alternative as it is abundant, free from pollution, and can be compressed at low cost. There have been some attempts to develop compressed air vehicles, including two ongoing projects in France and South Korea. The document then discusses the scarcity of fossil fuels, their environmental and economic impacts, the need to search for alternatives in India given its developing status and population reliance on transportation. It introduces the topic of compressed air engines and vehicles as a potential solution.
Brett Parris - slides - price on carbon forum Aug 2011
This document discusses the need for action on climate change through putting a price on carbon emissions. It provides context on resurgent skepticism about climate change and outlines the high stakes if projections of temperature increases and impacts like reduced food security are accurate. It notes Australia's large contribution to emissions from its coal exports and domestic emissions. The document argues that preventing very dangerous climate change will require strong emissions cuts but that these cuts need not hurt the economy according to Australian government reports. It frames skepticism of climate science as extremist and out of step with scientific consensus.
Bottom Line Ministries that Matter: Congregational Stewardship with Energy Ef...
The document discusses how congregations can save money and help the environment by improving energy efficiency and utilizing clean energy technologies. It provides examples of congregations that have cut costs significantly through efficiency upgrades like lighting replacement. The document also outlines the Christian call to be good stewards of creation and notes how fossil fuel use contributes to health and environmental issues disproportionately impacting vulnerable communities. Finally, it estimates potential energy and cost savings for congregations on a state-by-state basis if common energy-using devices are replaced with efficient alternatives.
Consuming the Planet
This document provides an overview of reasons to be hopeful about addressing humanity's impact on the planet despite various challenges. It notes that while evolutionary forces have rewarded both aggression towards the planet and cooperation, the challenge is to reach a threshold of global cooperation before resource depletion leads to a "fortress world." It highlights pioneers working on ecological economics and planetary health as reasons for optimism. The document argues that increasing global cooperation, technology, lifestyle changes and shifts in consciousness can help solve environmental problems.
David Cooperrider Sustainability For Profit And Value Through Appreciative In...
The document discusses business opportunities in sustainability and positive change. It provides examples of companies like Fairmount Minerals that have used Appreciative Inquiry to bring together stakeholders to jointly design sustainable initiatives, creating new business value. Walmart's packaging sustainability efforts are highlighted as preventing millions of pounds of waste while saving money. The potential for organizations to catalyze positive change through strengths-based approaches like Appreciative Inquiry is discussed.
Why renewable energy is the future
Renewable energy is increasingly important for the future according to businessman Michael Anthony Sawyer. Sawyer notes that shifts from primary to alternative energy sources have occurred before due to depletion, such as from wood to coal to oil. Today, fears of depletion and fluctuating oil prices are increasing demand for renewable alternatives like wind and solar. While these currently provide a small portion of U.S. energy, government incentives and rising oil costs are pushing more toward renewable sources. Sawyer believes renewable energy is the future for many countries as the trend continues to rise in coming years.

Global Environmental Issues
Environmental issues are a major problem in our world, and all people need to recognize the need for our social obligations. The effect of humans on our planet has increased significantly over the years. Not only is the population constantly growing, there is new technical power to dig deeper, cut faster, build larger, and traverse more quickly great distances in automobiles, trucks, and planes (Brown, 2001). Severe environmental issues have appeared throughout the world as a result. It is very important that environmentalists work to educate everyone so that they can learn how to make the most effective ethical decisions in order to preserve nature. There are ethical and social obligations that the world needs to consider when it...show more content...The increased population helps to increase the amount of greenhouse gases, but it mainly contributes to the consumption of our world s natural resources. The more advanced countries like the United States use so many resources. Our people waste so much more than they help to conserve. Energy security is a growing concern for rich and emerging nations alike. The past drive for fossil fuel energy has led to wars, overthrow of democratically elected leaders, and puppet governments and dictatorships. There are many concerns and fears which include oil and other fossil fuel depletion, reliance on foreign sources of energy, energy demands rising from advancing developing countries such as China and India, economic efficiency versus population growth debate, and renewable and other alternative energy sources. (Shah, 2009). Many people are scared that we are wasting too much of our fossil fuels. They thi

The more advanced countries like the United States use so many resources. Our people waste so much more than they help to conserve. Energy security is a growing concern for rich and emerging nations alike. The past drive for fossil fuel energy has led to wars, overthrow of democratically elected leaders, and puppet governments and dictatorships. There are many concerns and fears which include oil and other fossil fuel depletion, reliance on foreign sources of energy, energy demands rising from advancing developing countries such as China and India, economic efficiency versus population growth debate, and renewable and other alternative energy sources. (Shah, 2009). Many people are scared that we are wasting too much of our fossil fuels. They thi

Searching for a miracle web10nov09
This document provides a summary of a report that analyzes the net energy available from various energy sources using a new technique called "life cycle technology assessment." The report finds that the net energy gain from all alternative energy systems is too small to sustain industrial society at its current levels. While innovations and efficiencies can be helpful, they cannot solve all problems or ignore fundamental systemic limits imposed by finite resources and planetary boundaries. A thorough systemic transformation emphasizing conservation, localization, and population control is needed. Technological fantasies like "clean coal" or "safe new nuclear" ignore practical and limits and are unlikely to solve our energy and environmental crises.

The document summarizes key points from a speaker at the International Petrochemical Conference regarding challenges to replicating the success of US shale development globally. Specifically:
- The speaker noted that the highly developed US upstream energy industry and infrastructure that has made shale development profitable there does not exist in most other parts of the world, raising costs.
- Examples given were that well costs in Poland would be 2.5-3 times higher than in the US Haynesville Shale, and only 2 wells capable of horizontal drilling exist in Australia currently.
- While Australia and Argentina were seen as having the highest shale potential outside the US in the short term, costs were still estimated to be around twice as high and political risk

2007_Summit_Review
The document summarizes the key themes and discussions from the 2007 Jackson Hole Policy Institute Energy Summit. The summit addressed issues around global energy demand and its impact on Western US energy resources and the environment. Some of the main points discussed include:
- The US consumes a large portion of global energy but relies heavily on imports, making domestic energy security critical. The Western US has abundant oil, gas, coal, and renewable resources that could play an important role.
- Growing global energy demand, especially from developing countries, is increasing competitive pressures on US energy supplies. This underscores the need for leadership and a holistic national energy policy in the US.
- Natural gas production is increasingly strategic, with the Western US expected
Energy Independence
In the opinion of many foreign-policy experts, the greatest
threats to world security and peace are Iran’s nuclear
