Financing the World's Forests: integrating markets and stakeholders2
The document summarizes the key findings and recommendations of the Eliasch Review on reducing deforestation through financing global forests. It finds that halving deforestation by 2020 and making the global forest sector carbon neutral by 2030 could have net benefits of $4-6 trillion by reducing climate change damages. This would require supporting forest nations to develop strategies to combat deforestation and providing $11-19 billion annually in carbon finance and other international funds between now and 2020, as well as $4 billion over 5 years for capacity building. The Review recommends including global forests in post-2012 climate agreements and carbon markets to leverage substantial funds to incentivize reduced emissions from deforestation.
Findings from the Eliasch Review
1) Climate change is significantly impacted by deforestation, which could lead to $1 trillion in annual damages by 2100 if left unaddressed.
2) Reducing deforestation would help protect the livelihoods of millions of people who depend on forests and lower the costs of tackling climate change.
3) A new global deal is needed that includes reducing deforestation emissions and provides financing to developing countries through carbon markets and other mechanisms, with a goal of halving deforestation by 2020 and making forests carbon neutral by 2030.
OECD Environmental Performance Review: Australia 2019 - Launch presentation
This document summarizes information on environmental issues in Australia. It finds that while Australia has made progress in decoupling economic growth from environmental pressures like emissions and resource use, more can still be done. Carbon pricing and taxation are relatively low compared to other countries. Biodiversity loss continues with many species listings increasing. Protected land coverage has expanded but gaps remain. Funding for biodiversity conservation has also been low. Chemical usage is widespread and most existing chemicals remain untested, with risk management varying between states. Overall the document evaluates both achievements and remaining challenges for Australia's environment.

The document discusses mainstreaming biodiversity considerations into development projects in key economic sectors such as energy, mining, infrastructure and manufacturing. It notes that while OECD countries committed to doubling biodiversity-related development finance by 2015, only 1% of financing to the energy and mining sectors included biodiversity factors. The document outlines strategies countries can use to better integrate biodiversity concerns into development planning and highlights relevant OECD research and guidelines on this topic.
OECD Environmental Performance Review: Hungary 2018 - Launch presentation
- Hungary needs to accelerate its transition to a low-carbon economy and do more to address air and water pollution. Environmental authorities should be strengthened and adopt best practices.
- Hungary has reduced its reliance on fossil fuels but many households still struggle with energy affordability. Greenhouse gas emissions are rising again after declines. Air pollution exposure remains high.
- Hungary has significantly invested in wastewater treatment infrastructure but still has progress to make in areas like municipal solid waste management and recycling. Protected natural areas require better management and financing.

Iag presentation at unredd pb6 march 22 (final final)
This document summarizes findings from four studies that challenge basic assumptions about REDD+. It finds that REDD+ focuses too much on direct agents of deforestation rather than the underlying policy failures and incentives. While opportunity cost may not accurately reflect incentives, many countries are increasing forests without REDD+. A private forest carbon market is also unlikely to materialize due to issues with asset definition, ownership, and intermediary power. The document calls for mid-course corrections, including focusing on policy incentives rather than proximate causes and building on approaches used by successfully reforesting countries.

The document summarizes the OECD's work on quantifying the macroeconomic impacts of transitioning to a circular economy. It notes that global material use is projected to more than double by 2060 based on current trends. The OECD's economic model can analyze how a circular transition would impact GDP, jobs, trade, and other economic factors. Recent and ongoing work focuses on issues like plastics design, digitalization, hazardous waste, and resource efficiency in supply chains. Upcoming reports will analyze the environmental and scalability impacts of circular business models and how online sales affect e-waste recycling programs.

MBI in china and brazil
This document compares the use of market-based instruments (MBIs) for environmental policy in China and Brazil. Both countries face rising environmental problems from rapid economic growth. China is the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases due to its reliance on coal and lack of early environmental oversight. It has implemented subsidies, restrictions on polluting industries, tax incentives and differential electricity pricing to encourage cleaner technologies and reduce emissions. Brazil uses credit/tax incentives and cost-recovery tariffs for water/sanitation. Both countries have made progress with MBIs but need to strengthen implementation and enforcement. China's carbon emissions continue to rise rapidly and it has further to go to match environmental policies of more developed nations.

This document summarizes a presentation on mainstreaming biodiversity in the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sectors. It provides examples of how different countries are implementing regulatory approaches, economic instruments, and information policies to promote biodiversity conservation in these industries. It also outlines trends in agricultural subsidies and their environmental impacts. Overall, the presentation argues for establishing a social and business case for biodiversity protection, strengthening relevant institutions, aligning policies for sustainable development, mobilizing finance, and developing monitoring systems.

This document provides an overview of Ireland's environmental performance and policies based on an OECD review. It finds that while Ireland has made progress in some areas like renewable energy and carbon pricing, it still faces challenges meeting its climate and environmental targets. Agriculture is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. Energy still relies heavily on fossil fuels, and transport patterns are dominated by private car use. Air quality issues persist from heating and transport. Water quality has declined and biodiversity is a concern. The document recommends accelerating policies like expanding protected areas, banning smoky fuels, and increasing investment in areas like retrofits, public transport and clean technology research to improve sustainability.
Pro forest - linking flegt and redd
FLEGT and REDD+ are initiatives that can support each other in addressing deforestation and forest degradation. FLEGT aims to curb illegal logging through voluntary partnership agreements, while REDD+ provides incentives to reduce emissions from deforestation. There are opportunities for the initiatives to collaborate by addressing direct drivers of forest loss, improving governance, and learning from each other's effective multi-stakeholder processes and systems for monitoring forest impacts. Coordinating efforts could help deliver objectives more efficiently while reducing confusion, competition for resources, and less effectiveness if the initiatives are not aligned.

REDD: Policy and Implementation Issues
1. The document discusses REDD (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation), which aims to create financial value for the carbon stored in forests to promote conservation.
2. It notes the significant emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, which account for about one-fifth of global emissions. REDD presents opportunities to provide large funds for emission reductions.
3. However, there are also challenges to implementing REDD, including establishing robust governance mechanisms, deciding on payments and beneficiaries, and managing various risks to ensure human rights and equitable outcomes. "REDD readiness" is needed to address these challenges.

The document discusses the future of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and focuses on producing public goods through agriculture. It outlines challenges like climate change and calls for shifting CAP support towards market and fiscal instruments that incentivize ecosystem production and compensate farmers for related income losses. The new paradigm is the production of public goods like carbon sequestration and biodiversity protection through environmental markets and payments for eco-friendly farming practices.
Red dy set grow part1 a broefing for financial institutions
This document provides a briefing for financial institutions on opportunities for investing in forest carbon markets. It discusses the significant investment needed, estimated at $17-33 billion annually, to halve emissions from deforestation by 2030. Financial institutions can play important roles as investors, fund managers, and lenders to forestry projects and companies. However, forest carbon projects also carry risks that must be mitigated, such as regulatory and market uncertainty. The briefing aims to educate financial institutions on current forest carbon opportunities and encourage greater investment to support emissions reductions from reducing deforestation and degradation and increasing afforestation and reforestation.
Avoided deforestation and the tights of indigenous and local communities
This document discusses concerns around "avoided deforestation" policies and initiatives that aim to reduce emissions from deforestation. It notes that while reducing deforestation could help mitigate climate change, top-down approaches risk violating the rights and livelihoods of indigenous peoples and local forest communities. Specifically, there are concerns that initiatives could lead to increased state control over forests, exclusionary conservation models, unjust blaming of forest peoples as drivers of deforestation, and unequal costs imposed on indigenous groups. Strong protections for community rights and priorities would need to be guaranteed for avoided deforestation to benefit rather than harm forest-dependent populations.

The document introduces the WBCSD Guide to Corporate Ecosystem Valuation (CEV). The CEV provides a framework for companies to systematically value their impacts and dependencies on ecosystem services to improve decision-making. It was developed based on testing by 15 companies and aims to help businesses manage risks, find cost efficiencies, and develop new opportunities related to ecosystems. The CEV guide outlines the steps, techniques, and applications of conducting a corporate ecosystem valuation.
The contribution of forestry in maintaining and expanding forest-based carbon...
This document discusses the role of forestry in maintaining and expanding forest carbon sinks. It notes that forests contribute to carbon sinks through afforestation/reforestation projects under the Clean Development Mechanism as well as by avoiding deforestation, which accounts for 18-25% of annual greenhouse gas emissions. While afforestation projects have faced challenges under the CDM, reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) is seen as a promising mechanism but baseline setting and additionality pose difficulties. The document concludes future efforts could focus on diversifying rural economies, combining mitigation and adaptation projects, and promoting sustainable forestry and avoided deforestation.
Global Environment Facility - Ulrich Apel
The Global Environment Facility (GEF) unites 182 member governments and partners to address global environmental issues like biodiversity, climate change, land degradation, and forests. It is the largest financier of forests, investing $1.5 billion to supplement over $4.5 billion in co-financing for over 300 forest conservation and management projects. GEF provides grants to developing countries for sustainable forest management and REDD+ projects that generate multiple environmental benefits. It works through 10 implementing agencies and focuses on reducing deforestation pressures while strengthening policies to reduce emissions and increase carbon sinks from land use.
Ariste - Agroforestry
This document summarizes three proposed interventions to address deforestation in Haiti: optimal agroforestry, an infrastructure for the carbon market, and intensification of biogas for cooking. For each intervention, the document outlines the objectives, description, costs, benefits, benefit-cost ratios, and evidence quality. The optimal agroforestry intervention involves planting moringa and peanuts on 252,000 hectares and yields benefit-cost ratios ranging from 2.85 to 3.17 depending on the discount rate. The carbon market infrastructure focuses on reforestation credits and has benefit-cost ratios between 0.72 to 2.49. Intensifying biogas production from organic waste could provide cooking fuel for 397,
Draft Seymour Kompr
The ideal solution for forests in a new climate agreement would need to meet criteria of effectiveness, efficiency, and equity according to the document. It summarizes that the solution would need to provide significant and timely emissions reductions while avoiding waste, and protect the poor and vulnerable. A phased approach combining public funds with market-based sources is suggested to generate sufficient finance over time in a way that matches country needs and situations. Common international standards for monitoring reporting and verification as well as safeguards for use of funds are also recommended to maximize equity and manage expectations.

The document discusses reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) as a cost-effective way to mitigate climate change. REDD aims to provide payments to developing countries for reducing emissions from deforestation and could also help conserve biodiversity and support rural livelihoods. However, there are still many outstanding issues to address regarding REDD, such as avoiding leakage, establishing appropriate baselines, and integrating REDD into carbon markets or developing a separate mechanism.

Fern Annual Report 2008
FERN works to achieve environmental and social justice related to forests and forest peoples' rights in EU policies. In 2008, FERN focused on six campaigns including avoiding deforestation through agreements that ensure forest peoples' rights and are not based on carbon trading. FERN also worked on issues involving bioenergy and forests, controlling illegal logging, democratizing trade and investment, improving forest certification, and monitoring development aid related to forests. Key successes included the signing of the first EU-Ghana voluntary partnership agreement on illegal logging and German, Austrian and Swiss ECAs beginning to withdraw support for the controversial Ilisu Dam project in Turkey.
Rights, climate change and multilateral organizations
The document discusses several key multilateral organizations and their stances on indigenous and local community rights in relation to climate change and forest negotiations. The UNFCCC, CBD, and UN REDD recognize the importance of addressing the needs of local communities and indigenous peoples. However, the World Bank's climate investment funds and forest carbon initiatives have been criticized for not adequately involving these communities or ensuring their rights are upheld in REDD programs.
Biodiversity Mainstreaming through National Policies and Legislation
1) The document discusses mainstreaming biodiversity through national policies and legislation. It outlines how biodiversity fosters productive capacities in sectors like agriculture but these sectors also exert pressure on biodiversity.
2) It provides an overview of different policy instruments that can be used for biodiversity conservation and sustainable use, including regulatory approaches, economic instruments, and voluntary approaches. It also gives examples of some instruments and programs.
3) The presentation emphasizes that biodiversity mainstreaming is important for sustainable development and outlines some of the OECD's work in this area, including analyzing barriers to policy reform and providing guidance for countries.
From global to local: Modeling low emissions development strategies
From global to local: Modeling low emissions development strategiesInternational Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)
Presentation by Alex de Pinto, Senior Research Fellow at IFPRI, at the Global Landscapes Forum on December 15, 2015 in Paris, FranceL verchot introduction to ec bioenergy project
This document discusses a project aiming to promote sustainable bioenergy development. It notes that demand for biofuel feedstocks is being met through expansion in the global South, which can lead to deforestation, loss of land rights, and negative impacts on livelihoods. The project's overall objective is to develop bioenergy in a way that benefits local people, minimizes environmental and social impacts, and contributes to climate change mitigation. It plans to do this through assessments of social/environmental impacts of bioenergy, potential of forest-based bioenergy for climate mitigation, analyses of policies and markets, and opportunities for forest-based bioenergy that benefits local communities. A side event will present case studies on carbon emissions from land
CEPS seminar -Public goods from private land
The document discusses public goods from private land management in the EU. It argues that environmental market failures related to agriculture are underestimated and undermine food and environmental security. It advocates for paying private land managers to deliver environmental services and public goods through measures like agri-environment schemes and cross compliance to address issues like biodiversity loss, pollution, and climate change. Precisely defining and measuring these public goods is necessary to justify related EU policies and budget allocations.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024

Harnessing the Power of NLP and Knowledge Graphs for Opioid Research
Gursev Pirge, PhD
Senior Data Scientist - JohnSnowLabs
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
