The document outlines the objectives and progress of Phase 1 of a flagship project developing a common methodological framework for sustainability hotspots analysis. Phase 1 involved mapping existing hotspot analysis methodologies through literature reviews and expert interviews. 21 methodologies were selected for in-depth analysis across national, sectoral, and product levels. The analysis focused on characteristics like stakeholder engagement, impact coverage, and applicability to SMEs and emerging economies. Phase 2 will build on these findings to develop guidelines for appropriate use and communication of sustainability information from hotspots analysis.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
WRI’s brand new “Food Service Playbook for Promoting Sustainable Food Choices” gives food service operators the very latest strategies for creating dining environments that empower consumers to choose sustainable, plant-rich dishes. This research builds off our first guide for food service, now with industry experience and insights from nearly 350 academic trials.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

A methodological framework that allows for the rapid assimilation
and analysis of a range of information sources, including life cycle
based and market information, scientific research, expert opinion
and stakeholder concerns. !
!
The outputs from this analysis can then be used to identify
potential solutions and prioritize actions around the most
significant governance, economic, environmental and/or social
sustainability impacts or benefits associated with a specific
country, city, industry sector, lifestyle, product portfolio, product
category or individual product or service*. !
!
Hotspots analysis is often used as a pre-cursor to developing more
detailed or granular sustainability information. !

19. Commonalities!
➜ All of the key methodologies engage several stakeholders in
their development;!
➜ Most methodologies include environmental impacts;!
➜ All methodologies utilize to some degree, a quantitative
approach. A few only use qualitative elements;!
➜ Most approaches address multiple impacts.!
19"
20. Differences!
➜ National:!
➜ All utilize a quantitative approach to address environmental impacts!
➜ Tend to use input/output analysis or materials flows analysis!
➜ Sector & Product:!
➜ Tend to be more diverse in the impacts and issues they address, as
well as in the use of more qualitative elements!
➜ Tend to focus on life cycle approaches or ‘beyond LCA’ approaches!
➜ City-Scale: one methodology has specifically developed for
use in cities*, others could be adapted for use at this scale!
➜ Hybrid (public & private) funding appears to be dominant
among the methodologies, !
➜ No common funding model that can be attributed to any of the three
methodology levels!

21. General Observations!
➜ Growing number of methodologies “move beyond LCA” !
➜ Development stems from a various organisations & linked to
a specific objective!
➜ All engage a wide stakeholder base !
➜ Majority are focussed on multiple issues, with most covering
a core set of environmental issues, though issue-specific
methods also exist !
➜ While the hybrid funding appears to be dominant, there is
no common model applied at a national, sector, or product
level.!
➜ Few incorporate financial data on the costs and benefits of
addressing hotspots. !
➜ Links to activity to reduce the impact of hotspots are sparse. !
! 21"
22. Key Stakeholder Insights!
➜ Support ‘Beyond LCA’ approach !
➜ Clearly identify goal & scope !
➜ Build stakeholder credibility & use a phased approach!
➜ Keep hotspots actionable & manageable!
➜ Prioritize to meet goals for addressing hotspots!
➜ Make results clear & intuitive using visualization!
➜ Periodically review & revise HSA analysis!
➜ Clearly communicate uncertainty!
➜ Develop case studies & examples to support use!
!
22"
24. What to Expect in Phase 2!
➜ Wider stakeholder engagement and consultation process!
➜ Two one-day facilitated rapid prototyping workshops for
sector and product-level hotspots analysis modules (Q1 –
2016)!
➜ Interested in participating?!
➜ Three regional webinars (Q1 – 2016) !
➜ Interested in participating?!
➜ Refined methodological framework, including sector and
product category-level guidance based on expert input from
workshops & webinars!
➜ Guidance on the appropriate use and communication of
sustainability information!
24"
26. Guidelines on use and communication!
➜ Appropriateness of how sustainability information used and
communicated will be dependent on scope/goals of study,
e.g.:!
➜ Availability of underpinning data and information; and depth and
granularity of research findings used to identify hotspots; !
➜ Quality and consistency of expert opinion and judgement and level of
agreement reached; !
➜ The level and inclusiveness of stakeholder engagement and degree
to which stakeholder concerns have been addressed; !
➜ The materiality / relevance of the sustainability information to be used
or communicated in the context of identified sustainability hotspots;
and!

29. Questions to prompt discussion!
➜ What additional value do/can ‘beyond LCA’ approaches to
Hotspots Analysis bring? !
➜ At what level(s) of application of hotspots analysis does the ‘beyond LCA’
provide the greatest benefit? !
➜ Are there any applications where the use of a ‘beyond LCA’ approach is of
low value or should not be encouraged?!
➜ What issues and topics should be covered in the principles and
practices for hotspots analysis and how could they best be
applied (bearing in mind they will need to be flexible enough to
accommodate different scales of application (e.g. national, city,
sector, product category, lifestyles)? !
➜ In what format and/or information should the final guidance (i.e.,
principles and practices for hotspots analysis) be provided in
order to optimize its utility (and broadly encourage its adoption)
among all levels of users?!
