The document discusses the dangers of a 4 degree warmer world due to climate change. Scientists have concluded that the consequences of climate change such as heat waves, droughts, floods, and damage to ecosystems are real and occurring now. If actions are not taken to reduce pollution, switch to renewable energy sources, and lower emissions, the planet could reach a point of no return. The poor will be the most severely impacted. Government efforts to promote renewable resources and energy efficiency must be strengthened to combat these effects.
Facing the Climate Crisis with Facts, Feelings, and ActionKim Nicholas
Talk by Professor Kimberly Nicholas on the scientific basis for the climate and ecological emergencies, and what citizens can do from aligning our own lifestyles with a stable climate to pushing for change in systems of money, power, and culture. Drawn from the new book UNDER THE SKY WE MAKE (Penguin Random House, 2021). https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/665274/under-the-sky-we-make-by-kimberly-nicholas-phd/
Teaching Climate Literacy in High Schools & UniversitiesKim Nicholas
In this talk, given November 2019 at the Lund University Teaching and Learning Conference, I answer four research questions.
The TL DN answer is in () below, see slides for more details:
1. What does one need to know to be climate literate? (Understand the IPCC Summary for Policymakers, which we made into a teaching framework, please use it!)
2. How well do universities teach climate literacy? (poorly)
3. How well do high schools teach climate literacy? (poorly)
4. How much do high schools focus on high-impact climate actions? (very little)
This presentation curates resources, podcasts and screenshots focusing on our changing climate. What are your go-to resources? What inspires? Favorite buzzwords? We welcome your interaction -- comments, questions, suggestions, shares, clips, favorites, likes and hearts.

REFRAMING CLIMATE JUSTICE FOR DEVELOPMENT: SIX PRINCIPLES FOR SUPPORTING INCLUSIVE AND EQUITABLE ENERGY TRANSITIONS IN LOW-EMITTING ENERGY-POOR AFRICAN COUNTRIES
By Mimi Alemayehou, Katie Auth, Murefu Barasa, Morgan Bazilian, Brad Handler, Uzo Iweala, Todd Moss, Rose Mutiso, Zainab Usman
Advancing inclusive and equitable energy transitions is one of this century’s most vital global challenges, and one in which development finance will play a crucial role. References to justice and equity are widespread in international climate policy, and are increasingly being used by development organizations to guide their own work, including support for energy transitions.
But prevailing definitions of climate justice rarely fully capture the priorities, challenges and perspectives of low-emitting energy-poor countries, the vast majority of which are in sub-Saharan Africa. When applied to development policy, this gap risks prioritizing near-term emissions reductions over broader support for economic development and energy transformation, with comparatively little climate benefit. This could severely hinder poverty alleviation, development, and climate resilience — the very opposite of justice. We need energy transitions that are truly ‘just and inclusive.’ What does this mean for development funders and financiers, and how should it drive their approach to supporting energy transitions in the lowest-income countries?
Out of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, Goal-13 targets Climate Action, raising awareness on the everyday rise of global temperature along with increased Air Pollution, which in return becomes the leading cause of acid rains, and ways to tackle it. Also, it targets reducing annual plastic waste , deforestation, annual floods and to control industrialization.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
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.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

Heat waves , droughts , intense cyclones ,
floods , swelling and acidic oceans are todays
facts and not a distant story…
Let’s act now to save ourselves….

Hundreds of thousands of people lose their
lives due to air pollution. Air has turned
poisonous and in many cities id unfit for
breathing.
Many rivers have been polluted beyond
redemption.
Massive deforestation has affected the natural
ecosystems irreversibly.
The poor and the disadvantaged are at a huge
risk due to climate change.

The problem is being slowly but surely
recognised as a major threat to the existence
of life.
There are enormous challenges to feed
millions of hungry people
In ensuring energy security
In ensuring poverty reduction
All this while combating climate change..
16.
Government of India has launched a
massive effort under National Solar
Mission.
Huge incentives are being provided to
promote the use and adoption of
renewable energy.
