There are many positive developments that can help address climate change. These include social innovations like better international cooperation and awareness of environmental responsibility. Technological advances also offer hope, such as improving agriculture productivity, developing decentralized power production, and creating more fuel-efficient vehicles. Research into new materials and building techniques additionally aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. While challenges remain, focusing on these kinds of solutions can help limit global temperature rise and ensure a sustainable future for both humanity and the planet.
Green City Clean Industry Initiative
The Green City Clean Industry Initiative proposes investing in sustainable agroforestry, green cities, and clean industries through a socially responsible investment model. The initiative would use a "seed to market" cooperative microlending model to fund integrated biorefinery projects that convert municipal and agricultural waste into renewable fuels and products. These projects would help cities adopt the UN Green Cities Declaration to become more sustainable in areas like energy, waste reduction, transportation, and environmental health.
Green city
This document outlines plans for developing a green city that focuses on sustainability. Some key points:
- The city will use renewable resources like solar and wind power to generate electricity and power infrastructure like street lights. It will also implement rainwater harvesting and a water recycling system.
- Buildings in the residential and commercial areas will be energy efficient and use techniques like solar panels to reduce consumption.
- Transportation within the city will include a personal rapid transit system using electric vehicles, encouraging low-carbon options like walking and biking.
- The development aims to significantly reduce its carbon footprint and environmental impact through these sustainable design and energy choices.

Abstract:
In order to preserve our way of life, it is high time we shifted focus towards better initiatives at
necessary costs. Harnessing our environment by enterprising nature’s fortification will provide a strong
starting platform and bring Blessings in the long term.
The diesel engine is the most efficient prime mover commonly available today. These magnificent
machines help move a large portion of the world's goods, power much of the world's equipment, and
generate electricity more economically than any other device in their size range. But even with so many
positives, its source of power (Diesel) is at the center of many of our world’s environmental problems.
Being one of the largest contributors to environmental pollution problems worldwide, it also boasts the
malefic distinguishment of being a prime cause for Human Cancer, global warming and directly involved
with spoilage of land fertility & Marine-life.
As a Counter-measure, Bio-diesel allows us to successfully minimize these negative effects and provide
sustainability. It proves to be the best replacement because of its unique properties like significant
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, non-sulphur emissions, non-particulate matter pollutants, low
toxicity and biodegradability. Cost is reduced using waste cooking oil as feedstock whose rather
detrimental effects on our environment and human bodies are reversed into proper sources of diverse
energy. If implemented properly, a Bio-diesel station could revolutionize the fuel market with the added
bonus of being opportunistic, environment- friendly and source of employment. This could be an
initiative profitable for both the environment and livelihoods.

Tianjin Eco-City is a new city being developed in Tianjin, China as a model of sustainable development. It is a joint project between China and Singapore to apply concepts of green building, transportation, and planning. The goals are to reduce carbon emissions, encourage non-motorized transportation, and create a livable community on reclaimed former salt lands. Specific plans include developing mass transit systems, requiring green building standards that reduce energy use by 43%, and limiting per capita carbon emissions to less than half that of other Chinese cities. The hope is that Tianjin Eco-City can demonstrate how to plan new communities in China and around the world in a more environmentally friendly manner.
Eco cities
The document discusses the need for eco cities due to increasing urbanization and its environmental impacts. It defines an eco city as one that is built according to principles of environmental sustainability by eliminating carbon waste, using renewable energy, and incorporating the natural environment. The concept of the eco city was developed in the 1970s by the organization Urban Ecology, founded by Richard Register in Berkeley, California, to reconstruct cities in balance with nature. The ideal eco city minimizes its environmental impact through reduced emissions, renewable resources, green transportation, high quality air/water, and protection of habitats while also supporting a strong economy.
Project Green City Plan 2020 Ppp Generic
The Project Green City Plan 2020 aims to reduce carbon emissions in the city by 33% by 2020 through various green initiatives. These include developing solar and green jobs programs, retrofitting homes and public buildings with green upgrades, expanding renewable energy infrastructure like solar panels and electric vehicle charging stations, and ensuring food and water security through projects like high-performance greenhouses. The goals are to transition the local economy and workforce towards green technology, make the area a leader in solar energy production, and prepare for future environmental challenges through sustainable development. The next steps outlined are to develop more detailed green retrofit and job training plans working with the local college, and establish a Green Technology Empowerment Center to support green businesses.

Get Wasted, Session 1: Waste to Wealth - The Circular Economy Advantage - 01...
This is the slide deck presented at our 1st event of a pressing Series on 'Circular Economy & Waste Management' in Asia.
8 million tonnes of plastic leak into the oceans each year, and more than 80% is from Asia! If we don't act now, there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish by 2050. It is time for individuals, companies and governments to rethink waste, especially in Asia. Today's linear ‘take, make, dispose’ economic model relies on large quantities of cheap, easily accessible materials and energy, and is a model that is reaching its physical limits. Today 80–120 billion USD of plastic materials is lost to the economy every year (plastic which is used just one time and then incinerated, landfilled or leaked into ocean). This is not just a business loss, but one of the biggest environmental challenges of our time.
An attractive and viable alternative that governments and businesses are exploring is the Circular Economy. This session - specifically focusing on plastic - brought insights from global business leaders, to social entrepreneurs and waste pickers who are all beginning to see waste not as trash, but as a resource. In emerging countries, managing waste has even become a solution to uplift people out of poverty. As the issue keeps growing, new regulations (such as Extended Producer Responsibility) have started to come into effect across Asia, making brands & producers responsible for recycling their post-consumer waste. Our speakers shared what it implies for big brands and each of us.
Circular Regenerative Cities: A Look at the Systemic Changes in the Human-Nat...
Cities are projected to house 66.3% of the world’s 9.5 billion inhabitants by 2050. By then, it is expected that they will generate 70% more waste – from 2.01 billion tonnes to 3.4 billion tonnes. That, coupe with the fact that cities are responsible for 75% of CO2 emissions, indicates that it may be the time to look beyond sustainability. Regenerative cities is a relatively new concept that was first introduced in 2010 by the World Future Council. The main emphasis lies on cities’ role to both sustain and regenerate natural resources being consumed and wasted. The regenerative city concept aspires to adopt a circular rather than linear model of resource conception, by shifting to local and renewable energy resources. In other words, a regenerative city model’s ecosystem is maintained when an organism’s output is an input for another. This model is basically referred to as the circular economy system. For a circular economy to succeed, regenerative cities should have a symbiotic link with their local hinterland, i.e. agropolis. Cairo, for example, is a typical Petropolis, meaning that all its key functions – production, consumption and transport – are powered by massive injections of non-renewable energy. This significant link between urban areas and their rural territories is the core of the regenerative vision. It improves the health of the ecosystem by reusing waste as a source of value.

The document discusses the concept of a floating city as the next frontier for urban planning. It proposes creating self-contained communities surrounded by water that include residential, industrial, and agricultural areas. The floating city aims to be a planned and sustainable development located off the coast of Sepang Gold Coast in Selangor, Malaysia. It would apply the "Blue Revolution" concept to become self-sufficient by producing its own food, water, and energy through efficient use of ocean resources.

THE CONCEPT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
One of India's largest cities faces many issues that undermine sustainable development, including overpopulation, poverty, unemployment, and environmental degradation. Major concerns are population growth straining resources, pollution from vehicles and industry, and inadequate infrastructure like transportation and roads. To achieve sustainable development, initiatives are needed like controlling population growth, public awareness campaigns, planned infrastructure expansion, moving industries outside the city, improved waste management, and increasing green spaces and healthcare access. Strict laws, welfare programs, and advanced technology adoption can also help address challenges and form a sustainable city.

Blue and Green Cities The Role of Blue-Green Infrastructure in Managing Urban...
This book offers new research on urban policy innovations that promote the application of blue-green infrastructure in managing water resources sustainably. The author argues that urban water managers have traditionally relied on grey infrastructural solutions to mitigate risks with numerous economic and environmental consequences. Brears explores the role urban water managers have in implementing blue-green infrastructure to reduce ecological damage and mitigate risk. The case studies in this book illustrate how cities, of differing climates, lifestyles and income-levels, have implemented policy innovations that promote the application of blue-green infrastructure in managing water, wastewater and stormwater sustainably to reduce environmental degradation and enhance resilience to climate change. This new research on urban policy innovations that promote the application of blue-green infrastructure in managing water resources sustainably will be of interest to those working on water conservation and policy.

ISCN 2019 - Rapid Round
This study evaluated the effects of intercropping aromatic plants like rosemary and basil with olive trees in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The aromatic plants grew well but had no significant effect on olive tree productivity, including number of inflorescences, fruits, and average fruit weight. The neutral effect may be because not enough time elapsed for the aromatic plants to produce chemical compounds, their density was too low, or olive production was low that year due to climate variability. Intercropping could still be a viable practice and deserves further testing under normal weather conditions and with higher aromatic plant density to better understand potential effects.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
