Opportunities in waste and circular economy in Ghana
Result of a market survey on waste management and circular economy in Ghana carried out by Bert Keesman of MetaSus and other experts 6-10 May 2019
City of Oslo
The document outlines an EU monitoring framework for the Circular Economy. It describes several indicators organized by thematic area and category to measure progress. The indicators include the share of major public procurement that includes environmental requirements, annual solid waste generation, waste electrical and electronic equipment generation, and food waste generation. The framework is intended to track self-sufficiency of raw materials, input of virgin materials, water usage, environmental management systems, and public awareness of circular economy issues. Next steps include testing the indicators in cities, identifying related projects, and holding a workshop to further develop the framework.
Does city planning need a bigger picture?
1. The document discusses issues around land use policy and governance in a globalized world where resources are finite and everything is interconnected.
2. It notes that more people now live in cities than the entire global population after WWII, and rural areas are no longer the main engine of economic growth for nations.
3. The author argues that urban and rural governance can no longer be separated, and inclusive governance models that leverage inclusive technologies may provide a way forward to better coordinate policies and investments across urban and rural areas.
Cities Booklet
The document discusses trends in urbanization and issues faced by cities in developing countries. Rapid population growth in cities leads to a shortage of affordable housing and jobs. This forces many to live in informal settlements with poor conditions. Cities struggle to provide services, employment, and education to their growing populations. Issues like pollution, disease, and high mortality rates emerge due to overcrowding.
Climate-KIC
The document discusses the social benefits of moving towards a circular economy. It notes that a circular economy could address social challenges like jobs, poverty, and inequality by creating new employment opportunities through labor-intensive reuse, repair, recycling, and services. Studies show a circular economy could reduce carbon emissions by 2/3 and create many local, decentralized jobs while boosting local economies and improving standards of living through increased disposable income and wealth creation. A circular economy also promotes social cohesion through sharing economies and improved environmental quality. While some new jobs may be in waste management, a focus on both human and artificial intelligence could help ensure high quality employment.
4PL - Company Profile
The document provides information about 4PLogistics, a 4th party logistics company in Egypt. It describes 4PLogistics' services including customs clearance, warehousing, transportation management and value-added services. It highlights benefits for customers such as reduced costs, increased efficiency and flexibility through consolidating logistics operations at 4PLogistics' inland dry port facility located in the 6th of October industrial zone in Egypt. The document also lists specific benefits for shipping lines, importers/exporters, truckers and other stakeholders of partnering with 4PLogistics.

Cardiff Case Studies - Afternoon Presentation
Street vendors provide an important source of employment in developing world cities where formal job opportunities are limited. A study of informal vendors in Cusco, Peru found that most were women selling perishable goods to meet basic needs. While informal vending provides income, it marginalizes vulnerable groups and vendors have little protection or benefits. The sector plays a key role in the local economy but also reflects social and economic inequalities.

Agricultural research for rural prosperity: Rethinking the pathways - Tom Tom...Independent Science and Partnership Council of the CGIAR
The document summarizes the Agricultural Science Forum 2016 which brought together approximately 200 participants including 24 early career scientists to rethink pathways for agricultural research to stimulate rural development and address climate change. The forum included breakout sessions on key topics and discussed the need to consider multiple interacting pathways including production, markets, and institutions. It also emphasized the importance of context-specific priorities and partnerships in agricultural research.N3 Gateway Tourism Association Member Workshop Feb - Mar 2017
The document provides an overview of a members' workshop series on sustainable tourism along the N3 Gateway region. It discusses key concepts like what sustainable tourism means, the value of tourists and small businesses, and the importance of data for tourism marketing and planning. It outlines several potential projects to build capacity and transform the local tourism industry, like training programs for tour guides, chefs, and crafters. It also provides tools and strategies for businesses to evaluate their operations and work collaboratively to enhance sustainability and local economic benefits from tourism.
Farmer entrepreneurship and their social context
Domenico Dentoni, Associate Professor in Agribusiness Management, Wageningen University and Research. What agri-entrepreneurship is; when farmers are more entrepreneurial; how rural youth become (or fail to become) entrepreneurial; and why it matters for policy, managers and resilience. Empirical examples from research in the rural Philippines, Albania, Uganda, and Ghana. Keynote presentation at the 2nd ICOALS conference 2018.
Circularity 23: Data – the future of packaging
- Real-time packaging data is the future to meet regulatory requirements and positively impact the environment. Granular packaging data is needed from all participants in the packaging supply chain, including brands, retailers, manufacturers, recycling facilities, and NGOs.
- Many US states have implemented or proposed regulations like Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws and plastic bills that will require accurate packaging data submissions. Brands and retailers need to focus on collecting live and accurate packaging data, rather than relying on averages, to comply with changing regulations.
- e-halo is a packaging sustainability platform that can provide live packaging data and help manage sustainability requirements on an ongoing basis to drive strategic decisions and mitigate compliance risks.
Searching for effective farming policies in Gloucestershire
Searching for effective farming policies in GloucestershireCountryside and Community Research Institute
The document discusses a presentation given at the University of Gloucestershire on exploring effective farming policies and prospects for an agricultural "Horticultural Belt" in Gloucestershire. It examines recommendations to establish a food strategy council and designate land areas as a Horticultural Belt to support small-scale, sustainable farming through a cooperative guild model. Future work would research farmer interest and consult stakeholders on opportunities for policy changes to support local food systems and agroecology.Socioeconomic baseline and areas for measuring REDD+ impacts

Inclusive Green Economy
The document discusses the concept of an inclusive green economy as a new development model for Myanmar. It notes the current economic, social, and environmental challenges the country faces from poverty, inequality and ecosystem degradation. A business-as-usual approach is no longer sustainable. An inclusive green economy aims to generate more inclusive and sustainable growth through low-carbon development, resource efficiency, and improved management of natural resources and environmental risks while benefiting poor and vulnerable groups. It identifies key sectors and policies needed for a transition, including strengthening local resource rights, inclusive green markets, harmonized international support, and new metrics for measuring progress.
Natural Capital Roadmap
Australia’s food and land use system faces
a storm of converging pressures. The world’s
population is growing, expected to reach close
to 10 billion by 2050, and will have growing and
changing demands for food and fibre. At the
same time, the accelerating impacts of climate
change present major risks for farming – without
adaptive action climate change could reduce
agricultural productivity and farmer profitability
by up to 40-60 per cent by 2060i.
Meanwhile, competing demands could reduce
the amount of land available for food production.
This includes demands for timber production,
bioenergy, and urban and industrial development.
Climate change will also have profound impacts
on natural systems2. There is an urgent need for
land management changes to reduce emissions,
sequester carbon in soils, trees and other
vegetation, and to protect, restore and build
resilience of natural systems. How will we
meet these competing demands on a limited
land resource?
Producers of food, fibre and timber manage more
than half of Australia’s landmass, and are therefore
critical to any future change in land use3.
Awareness and adoption of sustainable
practices is increasing in the face of climate
risks, unreliable weather patterns, competition
for water, consumer concerns about health,
environmental and animal welfare impacts of
farming, and increasing accountability
demands from governments. Indeed, some of
the most innovative and inspiring examples
of sustainable food production and land use
originate in Australia.
The finance sector is also beginning to shift, with
investment in sustainable land use increasing
eightfold globally in the decade to 20154, and
$4.5 trillion annual global business opportunities
from investment in sustainable food and land use
identified by 20305.
This momentum is positive. However, a barrier
to improving the sustainability of land use is
the immaturity of tools and systems to enable
adequate, consistent measurement of ‘natural
capital’. These tools are a way to value the
environment and integrate this value as part
of land management, financial and policy
decision-making.
Farewell address krijn j poppe
This document discusses the current state and future possibilities for the Dutch food system. It notes that the food system is at a crossroads due to public health issues, climate change, and environmental costs. The author analyzes the food system through the lenses of institutional economics and historical examples. Three economic mechanisms - Cochrane's treadmill, cluster/agglomeration effects, and chain organization changes - are discussed. Currently, agribusiness leads the food system, but scenarios for a greener, more sustainable future system are proposed, focusing on data management, regional approaches, and long-term environmental contracts.

Women paying the health cost of the climate crisis
The impacts of climate change result in both economic and non-economic losses and damages. While economic impacts often receive attention through policy and programming, the non-economic losses remain largely invisible and unaddressed, particularly in climate finance.
The presentation by IIED principal researcher Ritu Bharadwaj, from an online event in March 2024, focuses on the loss and damage faced by women battling drought, debt bondage and migration in Beed, India.
The presentation examines how women are disproportionately affected by climate change, looking at the connections between climate-induced droughts and debt bondage, and significant impacts on women's physical and mental health – leading to drastic health decisions.
It introduces the innovative C-CIQ methodology, which is a comprehensive approach allowing for in-depth assessment of climate change impacts, encompassing not only physical and economic aspects but also the social, cultural and psychological wellbeing of individuals and communities.
The C-CIQ methodology, with its emphasis on simplicity, replicability and clarity, aims to provide a framework for quantifying non-economic loss and damage through composite indices, making it a valuable tool for practitioners and policymakers in diverse contexts.

Adaptability of peri-urban agricultural workers towards resilience
This case study highlights the way that women working in peri-urban agriculture in India have to adapt to changing circumstances in order to sustain themselves and their families.
It was produced by Siddharth Agarwal, Kanupriya Kothiwal, Shabnam Verma and Sampurna Kundu of the Urban Health Resource Centre, India.
Conclusions include agricultural work being one of the major forms of livelihood for peri-urban workers. Many peri-urban workers chose this form of work because they already had the skills from their native rural farms.
Women find agricultural work convenient because of its self-paced nature and because farms are mostly close to where they live. Food security is another benefit, as many women are able to procure vegetables and food grains from their farming work.
Peri-urban women workers are resilient, adapting to an ever-changing peri-urban ecosystem and often pursuing an additional livelihood in seasons when agricultural work is not available. Their strategy of forming links with more than one employer offering different forms of work is key to this resilience.
They are also preparing themselves for a future when farms will be sold to developers and builders, and express anxiety about the uncertainty of sustaining agriculture work in the future.
The adaptability and resilience shown by the workers can be tailored to other situations and promoted among vulnerable urban women workers.

Stitching their trajectories with determination: stories from Indore, India
Many women in Indore work as informal home-based garment workers. This case study demonstrates their commitment to investing in equipment and learning new skills in order to contribute to the family income.
Behind closed doors lies a vast segment of largely invisible women and girls working in India’s flourishing garment industry.
Women working from home account for about 14% of urban employment in India. In low- and middle-income countries, outsourced garment production thrives on account of cheap labour to keep the levels of production high and costs low.
Through pursuing sewing, women can overcome the limitations of little or no education or formal training. Most women stitchers enhance their skills through experience. This helps them get regular and progressively higher paying piece-rate work.

Placing COVID-19 and the wildlife trade within the bigger picture
This presentation by EJ Milner-Gulland was delivered during the online event 'Why eat wild meat? Insights from Africa and lessons for COVID-19 responses' on Wednesday, 4 August.
The event explored why people eat wild meat and how to design interventions that can help improve sustainability and safety.
EJ Milner-Gulland is director of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Conservation Science at University of Oxford.

The document summarizes a study on the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on wild meat use and perceptions in communities near the Dja Faunal Reserve in Cameroon. The study found that the pandemic increased difficulties in accessing schools, income, travel, customers, work and food for many communities. It also found that wild meat consumption remained important despite Covid-19 risks. Most respondents disagreed with proposals to close wild meat markets due to livelihood dependencies and a lack of alternatives. The conclusion was that pandemic impacts on livelihoods seemed more concerning than health risks from wild meat, and findings could help policymaking support communities.
Drivers of wild meat consumption steph brittain
Dr. Stephanie Brittain conducted research on the drivers of wild meat consumption in Cameroon through a literature review and fieldwork interviewing 542 people in four villages. Key findings included: 1) availability and affordability are primary drivers of wild meat consumption, while health benefits and culture are secondary; 2) consumption rates varied between villages and demographics; and 3) preferences for wild meat centered on taste and ease of access, while avoidance was due to taste, health, and tradition. The research provided insights into designing alternative food projects that consider local tastes, traditions, and access to markets and resources.

This presentation was made by Pauline Zei at a webinar on Wednesday, 2 June that discussed the challenges around, and opportunities for, producer voice and agency in the design and implementation of the new Living Income Differential (LID) in Ghana and the Côte d'Ivoire.
The online event on 'Cocoa producer agency and the living income differential: lessons from civil society organisations' was organised by the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED).
Zei is director of Inades-Formation Cote d'Ivoire. She holds a degree in agronomy from the Institut National Polytechnique Félix Houphouët Boigny in Yamoussoukro, specialising in crop protection. Inades-Formation is a network of pan-African associations that works for equitable and sustainable development in Africa.
This was the seventh in a series of events organised under the IIED-led Empowering Producers in Commercial Agriculture (EPIC) project.
EPIC is funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office through its Commercial Agriculture for Smallholders and Agribusiness (CASA) programme, though the views expressed do not necessarily reflect the views of the UK government. CASA seeks to increase economic opportunities for smallholders by demonstrating the commercial viability of businesses with significant smallholder supply chains and attracting more investment into the sector.
