Greenpeace is an independent global organization that works to protect the environment and promote peace through direct action, lobbying, and research. It focuses on issues like climate change, forests, oceans, agriculture, toxic pollution, and nuclear weapons. The document discusses Greenpeace's goals and methods, and provides an example of a successful campaign by Greenpeace that convinced Mattel to adopt more sustainable sourcing practices after Greenpeace protested the company's links to deforestation.

Climate action is a vital and urgent global response to the escalating challenges posed by climate change. It encompasses a range of proactive efforts aimed at mitigating and adapting to the adverse impacts of climate change, with the overarching goal of preserving the planet's ecological balance and ensuring a sustainable future for all.
Mitigation:
Mitigation involves actions aimed at reducing the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere to curb global warming and its associated effects. This includes transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, adopting sustainable transportation, and implementing afforestation and reforestation projects. Mitigation efforts also encompass carbon capture and storage technologies, waste reduction, and sustainable land management practices.
Adaptation:
Adaptation focuses on building resilience to the changing climate by preparing for and responding to its impacts. This involves developing strategies to protect communities, ecosystems, and economies from the adverse effects of climate change, such as extreme weather events, sea-level rise, and shifting precipitation patterns. Adaptation initiatives may include creating climate-resilient infrastructure, implementing water management solutions, and enhancing disaster preparedness and response.
International Cooperation:
Climate action requires global collaboration, as climate change knows no borders. International agreements like the Paris Agreement play a central role in uniting countries around shared goals to limit global temperature rise and enhance adaptive capacity. Nations commit to setting emission reduction targets, regularly reporting progress, and cooperating on technology transfer and financial support to vulnerable countries.
Sustainable Development:
Climate action is intertwined with sustainable development, emphasizing the need to balance economic growth with environmental stewardship and social equity. Integrating climate considerations into development planning ensures that efforts to address climate change also uplift communities, promote clean technologies, and foster a green economy.
Public Awareness and Advocacy:
Raising public awareness and fostering a sense of urgency about climate change is crucial. Education campaigns, grassroots movements, and advocacy efforts help mobilize individuals, communities, and governments to take meaningful action. Youth activists, scientists, and civil society organizations play a pivotal role in driving the climate agenda forward.

Valuing Plastic: The Business Case for Measuring, Managing, and Disclosing Pl...Sustainable Brands
The objective of this report is to help companies manage the opportunities and risks associated with plastic use. It articulates the business case for companies to improve their measurement, disclosure and management of plastic use in their designs, operations and supply chains. In order to provide a sense of scale, the report sets out to quantify the physical impacts of plastic use translated into monetary terms. This metric can be seen as the current value-at-risk to a company, should these external impacts be realised internally through mechanisms like strengthened regulation, loss of market share, or increased price of raw materials and energy. This metric can also be used to help understand the magnitude of the opportunities, and the tangible benefits to stakeholders, including shareholders, of using plastic in an environmentally sustainable way.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
