This document discusses the concept of a green economy. A green economy aims to improve human well-being and social equity while significantly reducing environmental risks. It is an economic system that reduces ecological scarcities through more sustainable use of resources. Key sectors of a green economy include renewable energy, green buildings, sustainable transport, water management, waste management, and land management. Transitioning to a green economy can help drive job growth while reducing poverty and environmental degradation. Developing countries face additional challenges in adopting green economic policies and need support through capacity building and private sector engagement.
Green economy a way to deal with climate changesauravkumar das
The aspiration levels of people have skyrocketed in developing economies like India. Gas guzzling automobiles, account for more than 70% of the pollution & the consequent global warming. Corporate gluttony is on the rise. Viewing business activities through the lens of the triple bottom-line paradigm of people, planet & profit is what will make our society progressive.
We all know about the climate change issues, about how our world is in imminent peril. I intend this artifact to be a change driver targeted at policy makers and business leaders alike, as well as the common people to “grow but sustainably”.

brief explanation of global supply chain and related SDG's , their importance, relevancy, examples, conclusion and recommendations. Sustainable development goals that are closely related to global supply chain are briefed and along with the contribution global supply chain can made to the achievement of these goals. Recommendations that how can organizations align their supply chain with sustainable development goals and benefits of doing this.
This presentation explores how climate change alters the pursuit of economic development: the transformation of poor economies and their people into prosperous ones.
This is hardly the first attempt to reconcile the climate agenda with that of economic development. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals are significant for defining a dual agenda where development targets for people and planet sit alongside each other in a unifying framework.1 Much commentary focuses on the compatibility of the two agendas. A radical and specious view pits progress on climate change and economic development as strict substitutes and calls for no less than the unravelling of economic development to save the planet.2 Cooler heads point instead to their complementarity: the critical role of economic development in supporting adaptation and the recognition that investments in the green transition will propel economies rather than sacrifice living standards.3
In contrast, this essay takes as its starting point that the goals and salience of economic development are immutable. The question posed here is how the quest for economic development changes in a world gripped by a changing climate. The essay argues that climate change will force three major changes: a reappraisal of the causes of and prospects for development, the rebirth of the economics of transition, and a reformulation of the problem development is trying to solve. In a final section, it asks what these changes could mean for international security and for the community of national and global actors who set policy and strategy in this field.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. WHAT IS A GREEN ECONOMY?
• A Green Economy is one that results in
increased human well-being and social
equity, while significantly reducing
environmental risks and ecological scarcities.
• It is an economy that results in reducing
environmental risks and ecological scarcities,
and that aims for sustainable development
without degrading the environment
3. WHY A GREEN ECONOMY?
• Initiative born out of multiple crises and
accelerating resource scarcity
• An economic vehicle for sustainable
development
• Can take advantage of new growth trajectories
designed to be more socially inclusive, as well as
responsive to poverty reduction and economic
diversification objectives
• A new economic paradigm that can drive growth
of income and jobs, without creating environmental
risks
4. OPPORTUNITIES OF GREEN ECONOMY
• Can reduce poverty and inequality. Inextricable link between
poverty alleviation and wise management of natural resources
and ecosystems
• Ecosystem services provide 47% to 90% of the so-called ‘GDP
of the poor’
• Common interest between developed and developing countries
• Partnership of policymakers and business community
• Crucial to prioritize spending in sectors that can simultaneously
promote social, economic and environmental gains
• ODA and South-South cooperation
5. GREEN JOB
• According to the United Nations Environment Program,
“green job is to work in agricultural, manufacturing,
research and development (R&D), administrative, and
service activities that contribute(s) substantially to
preserving or restoring environmental quality.
• Specifically, but not exclusively, this includes jobs that
help to protect ecosystems and biodiversity; reduce
energy, materials, and water consumption through
high efficiency strategies; de-carbonize the economy;
and minimize or altogether avoid generation of all
forms of waste and pollution
6.
7. SECTORS OF GREEN ECONOMY
Karl Burkart defines a green economy as based
on six main sectors
o Renewable energy
o Green buildings
o Sustainable transport
o Water management
o Waste management
o Land management
8. RENEWABLE ENERGY
• Renewable energy is generally defined as energy that comes from
resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale
• Renewable energy replaces conventional fuels in four distinct areas:
electricity generation, hot water/space heating, motor fuels, and
rural (off-grid) energy services
• Types of renewable energy:
Solar Energy
Wind Energy
Geothermal Energy
Bioenergy
Hydropower
Ocean Energy Hydrogen &
Fuel Cells Green Power
9. GREEEN BUILDING
• “Green Building” design and construction is the
opportunity to use our resources more efficiently, while
creating healthier and more energy-efficient homes.
• Green building design involves finding the delicate balance
between homebuilding and the sustainable environment.
• The common objective of green buildings is to reduce the
overall impact of the built environment on human health
and the natural environment by:
Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources
Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity
Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation
10. SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT
• Sustainable transport refers to the broad subject of transport
that is or approaches being sustainable.
• Transportation sustainability is largely being measured by
transportation system effectiveness and efficiency as well as
the environmental impacts of the system.
• Sustainable transport solution (STS) may include:
11. WATER MANAGEMENT
• Water management promotes the coordinated
development and management of water, land and related
resources, in order to maximize the resultant economic and
social welfare in an equitable manner without
compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems.
• Water management may includes:
Water Recycling
Managing water in urban settings
Low-water Landscaping
Water Purification
Storm water Planning
12. WASTE MANAGEMENT
• Waste management is the "generation, prevention,
characterization, monitoring, treatment, handling, reuse and
residual disposition of solid wastes".
• The term usually relates to materials produced by human activity,
and the process is generally undertaken to reduce their effect on
health, the environment or aesthetics.
• There is a wide array of issues relating to waste management and
those areas include:
Waste minimization ,Recycling and reuse Storage,
Collection, transport and transfer , Treatment
Landfill disposal
Environmental considerations , Financial and marketing aspects
Policy and regulations ,
Education and training Planning and implementation.
13. LAND MANAGEMENT
• Land management is process of managing the use and
development (in both urban and rural settings) of land
resources.
• Land resources are used for a variety of purposes which
may include organic agriculture, reforestation, water
resource management and eco-tourism projects.
• Land management may includes:
Organic Agriculture
Habitat Conservation
Restoration Urban Forestry & Parks
Reforestation & Afforestation
Soil Stabilization
14. SOME CHALLENGES
• Multilateral trading system
• Technological innovation and transfer
• Global intellectual property

21. GREEN ECONOMY IN BANGLADESH
The state shall endeavor to protect and improve
the environment and to preserve and
safeguard the natural resources, biodiversity,
wetlands, forests and wildlife for the present
and future citizens.
[The Article 18 A of the Constitution of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh ]
22. • In 1996, Grameen Bank founded Grameen Shakti , improved
cooking stoves and Biogas programmers. All these projects are
environment friendly
• A private financial institution, namely IIDFCL, took a CDM project to
help build 18 environment-friendly brick kilns of HHK technology
which is 50 per cent energy efficient and as such, 50 per cent less
polluting
• Bangladesh Bank has developed a fund of some Tk 2.0 billion,
under its refinancing scheme, to promote environment friendly
projects.
• The government of Bangladesh runs IDCOL , which has set a target
of installing some 1.0 million SHS by 2012, while under its CDM
project (POA), it would install a total of 30,000 SHS in the country.
• This CDM project will help reduce a significant amount of CO2 per
annum and earn carbon revenue.
• IDCOL has financed biomass based power project too
( From - Green economy: Bangladesh perspective, by Shafiqul Alam )
23. SOME MAJOR PROBLEMS IN LEAST DEVELOPED
COUNTRIES LIKE BANGLADESH
• Low levels of carbon emissions
• Relatively low investments in technologies
• More dependent on natural resources →
ecosystem degradation, resource scarcity and
climate change challenges to ending poverty
• Investments, policy reforms and maximize
local knowledge are needed
24. ENABLING CONDITIONS FOR A GREEN ECONOMY
• Establish sound regulatory frameworks
• Remove harmful subsidies (e.g. fossil fuels, fisheries)
• Prioritize green investment
• Utilize market mechanisms and taxation
• Build capacity through training and technology transfer
• Transform consumption patterns – not just technology!
• Use poverty alleviation/MDG targets
• Policy coherence
• Private sector engagement
• Local authorities’ engagement
• Public awareness & mobilisation
• Intergovernmental co-operation
25. ROLE OF GOVERNMENTS
• National development plans and strategies
• Key sectors of GE: Energy and Agriculture
• Low-carbon systems
• “Double dividend” policies: employment and
green growth
• Labour market adjustment: high labour mobility-
income security and national and education systems
• Weaknesses of a “business as usual” approach
