UN-HABITAT deals with climate change and urban development, including through urban planning, as part of its mandate from the UN.
Am swedish presentation klein-seminar
The State of Minnesota can help companies reduce fossil fuel use and energy costs by investing $20 million in anaerobic digestion projects. This would leverage $80 million in private funds to build 4-5 digesters processing organic waste from large industries. The projects would produce renewable energy, expand waste water treatment capacity, reduce energy use, create over 100 construction jobs and 10 operational jobs, and generate $7 million in new annual tax revenue for the state. The $20 million investment would be paid back within 5 years, providing a 25% return for the state.
Using debt swaps to address debt, climate and nature loss post-COVID-19
This document discusses using debt swaps to address the triple crises of rising debt in developing countries exacerbated by COVID-19, climate change, and nature loss. It proposes converting a portion of developing country debt into funding for climate resilience, emissions reduction, and biodiversity protection programs. Debtor countries would manage the funds through their budgets rather than separate trust funds. The document identifies priority countries and calls for an international initiative to establish a technical working group to develop such a large-scale coordinated climate and nature debt swap program over three years.
On the Ground Realities of Renewable Energy

Fueling AI with Great Data with Airbyte Webinar
This talk will focus on how to collect data from a variety of sources, leveraging this data for RAG and other GenAI use cases, and finally charting your course to productionalization.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.
