This document summarizes a report from the OECD on private sector engagement in adaptation to climate change. It analyzes case studies of 16 companies and responses to the 2009 Carbon Disclosure Project questionnaire. The summary finds:
1) Companies show a high level of awareness of climate change risks but not all conduct risk assessments. Assessments often focus on current risks rather than long-term impacts.
2) Risk assessments do not always lead to risk management actions. Few companies implement infrastructure investments or "hard" adaptation measures despite identifying risks.
3) Factors like capacities, incentives, and perspectives influence companies' engagement in adaptation. Public sector actions could help overcome barriers to private sector investment in adaptation.

The business case for environmental sustainability: embedding long-term strat...
ABSTRACT Current environmental demands, such as the need to meet governmental climate change adaptation targets or to avoid future resource scarcities have created a business opportunity for firms that eschew business as usual and adopt ambitious environmentally focused systemic innovations. This article aims to present a clear business case for corporate environmental sustainability in order to increase investments in this area. The core focus is on the tangible economic benefits that can be realised through environmental strategies such as risk reduction and efficiency gains. The aim is to show that sustainability can be an opportunity rather than an obligation and that not only can environmental and economic performance be optimised simultaneously but that economic performance can be optimised through environmental strategies. It is expected that this approach shall increase competitive advantage while supporting climate change mitigation. The article also highlights the current drivers that provide motivation for environmental performance improvement such as global trends towards resource efficiency and the exposure to long term environmental risks. Sustainability is a multidimensional subject that involves a diverse range of operational processes and it is argued that a greater portion of sustainability resources should be invested in ambitious environmentally focused systemic innovations. This will enable sustainability to be strategically integrated into the core business practices. Embedded sustainability is the term used to describe a high level of sustainability integration.
Towards Sustainability in the Oil and Gas Sector - Benchmarking of Environmen...
This article analyzes the environmental, health, and safety efforts of 10 major oil and gas companies based on their published reports. It finds that while the companies refer to voluntary sustainability initiatives, the sector overall still has significant gaps in performance, such as compliance with clean air regulations and spill management. Most companies primarily use "lagging indicators" to measure impacts after they occur, rather than "leading indicators" to prevent impacts. The article places the sector's EHS management maturity at a middle/medium level, indicating progress but still room for improvement in truly addressing sustainability issues. It provides examples of initiatives by individual companies in areas like reducing emissions, training, and emergency response.

Circular economy - a new paradigm in manufacutring
The document discusses the linear "take-make-waste" model of production and consumption that has dominated the last 150 years. This linear model is unsustainable as it depletes natural resources and produces large amounts of waste. The document introduces circular economy as an alternative model that aims to eliminate waste and the use of toxic chemicals, be powered by renewable energy, and design products to be reused and recycled to keep resources in use for as long as possible. It provides examples of companies implementing circular economy principles and argues that the circular model represents significant opportunities for cost savings, risk mitigation, innovation and job creation compared to the linear economy.

The document provides guidance for writing a close reading analysis of a text excerpt from Robinson Crusoe. It advises analyzing specific quotes in detail over multiple sentences rather than a brief interpretation. For example, it suggests explaining the language techniques used in a quote that describes Crusoe's relationship with Friday, and analyzing how the quote reveals Crusoe's desire to control Friday despite using the metaphor of a parent-child relationship.

Weaning from mechanical ventilation should be considered when the disease prompting intubation has improved and daily screening for weaning potential is performed. Studies show most intubated patients should have scheduled spontaneous breathing trials following daily sedation breaks. For SBT, the patient must be alert, able to follow commands and breathe spontaneously, with stable oxygenation and hemodynamics before extubation. Daily SBT involves at least 30-120 minutes of breathing without ventilator support using an open breathing circuit or minimal pressure support. A successful SBT is when the patient can breathe without distress and their vital signs remain stable.
Ruth milikan chapters 5 and 6 in her book varieties.docx
Ruth Milikan critiques Fred Dretske's teleological theory of intentional representation from his book Varieties of Meaning.

Environmental Reporting.docx
- 1. Environmental Reporting Instructions: the paper you write should include the following: A general overview of the evolution of sustainability reporting in recent times Discussion of at least two case studies, which provide contrasting examples of organisational approaches to environmental management and sustainability. A critical evaluation of the case studies that highlights the benefits and limitations of the methodologies used. References: All data and arguments, perspectives and discussion should be clearly justified (APA style). My topic proposal: For the final project,Do a comparative analysis of Shellโs 2017 Sustainability Report and Lyondellbasellโs 2017 Sustainability Report. The paper will take a close look on both companiesโ approaches and fields of focus when it comes to being sustainable. The Shell 2017 report highlights the companyโs vision on energy transition, managing operations, their contribution to society and more. Lyondellbasellโs report includes the companyโs โsustainable footstepsโ, how they advance their products sustainably, their focus on safety, managing their environmental impact and how they support their communities. Shell is a petrol/gas company and Lyondellbasell is a multinational chemical company, both are supply non-sustainable products, so it would be truly intriguing to understand how they claim to be eco-friendly. Lyondellbasell claims to have innovative solutions for the chemicals and plastics that they supply to help create products that make sustainable development possible. Their innovative solutions range from wind turbines, vehicle components, vehicle biofuels, agricultural irrigation, food packaging, medical products, building insulation, pressure and sewage pipes, solar panels and more. Shell, on the other hand, has a complete section within their report that talks about how society faces a dual challenge in making a transition to a low carbon energy future where the risks of climate change are properly managed. They also talk about extending the social and economic benefits to everyone on the planet; they do that by looking at the situation through their 6 pillar lens: 1- continued investment in oil and gas to meet a growing demand 2- bringing โcleanerโ burning natural gas to a wider market 3- managing greenhouse gas emissions from their own operations 4- building a profitable โnew energiesโ business 5- promoting carbon capture and storage and nature-based solutions 6- advocating government led carbon pricing mechanisms. Be sure to include academic references, APA style please. #Environmental #Reporting
