This document discusses achieving climate mitigation through landscape-scale land use activities. It notes that agriculture and forestry contribute 22% of global greenhouse gas emissions and have significant mitigation potential. A climate-smart landscape approach aims to provide food, livelihoods, mitigation, and ecosystem resilience through integrated land uses negotiated by multiple stakeholders. Examples from Madagascar and Western Africa integrate improved rice varieties, agroforestry, and watershed management across large regions involving many farmers and communities. Advances in landscape monitoring now allow measuring carbon benefits across scales. Policy recommendations include incorporating mitigation benefits into all sectoral policies and investments while coordinating actions across sectors and jurisdictions.

UTSpeaks: Progress or procrastination? (Part 2 - James Goodman)
Can Australia lead the way with an effective climate action program?
Why is local and global action on climate change taking so long? Why are politicians, the media, scientists and industry chasing each other’s tails on the urgent issue of reducing carbon dioxide pollution? Almost two years on from the anticlimactic Copenhagen climate change summit, CO2 emissions are still rising. Why aren’t Australians willing to invest in protecting the future survival of their descendents?
This interactive forum takes stock of the current CO2 emissions and carbon tax debate and considers how a positive climate action program could work with the big polluters as well as foster community groups and households to be powerful change agents.

The document provides an introduction to challenges faced by carbon-based economies and the need for sustainable energy transitions. It discusses how climate change from greenhouse gas emissions threatens human well-being and socioeconomic development. While global CO2 emissions have recently stagnated, more action is needed to limit global warming below 2°C as agreed upon in the Paris Agreement. Renewable energy and energy efficiency can significantly reduce emissions by 2030 and help achieve climate targets, but ambitious implementation is required. Sustainable Development Goals also aim to raise awareness of climate change's multidimensional impacts on issues like poverty and health.ASFA 2007 Web
This document discusses the risks and opportunities that climate change presents for super fund investments. It emphasizes that super funds should take a long-term view of carbon risk and opportunity as part of their fiduciary duty. Deep emissions cuts are needed to limit global warming, which will require a major economic transformation towards renewable energy and energy efficiency. Super funds can play a role by supporting low-carbon initiatives, engaging with companies, and advocating for effective climate policy. They must be prepared for potential surprises and not assume change will be gradual.

This document discusses several topics related to climate change, including:
1. Research on Ireland's potential storage capacity for carbon dioxide emissions, totaling up to 93,000 megatons but with a practical storage potential of 1,505 megatons.
2. Phenology research on how plants and animals are responding to increasing temperatures, such as earlier leafing and flowering dates in trees and earlier arrival dates for migrating birds.
3. A Teagasc research program studying opportunities to make farming practices in Ireland more carbon efficient through approaches like improving nutrient efficiency and using clover crops. The program aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions without negatively impacting agricultural productivity.Motivating Game Changing Actions In an Era of Spin and Confusion
Professor Schneider is actively involved with the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and specializes in projecting global climate change and related impacts for the future. He is also dedicated to communicating science to the public.
External Costs: Socio-Environmental Damages due to Electricity and Transport
The document discusses the methodology used to calculate external costs, which are socio-environmental damages caused by electricity generation and transport. It describes the impact pathway approach used, which follows emissions through air, soil, and water to physical impacts on health, crops, buildings, and ecosystems, and then monetizes these impacts. Seven major types of damages are assessed, including effects on mortality, health, crops, materials, and global warming. The methodology involves comparing scenarios with and without the emissions to determine marginal impacts and costs avoided by reducing emissions. Uncertainty is higher for impacts like global warming, so alternative approaches like avoidance costs are also used.
Innovation, Environmental Policy And Lock In Effects
The document discusses eco-innovation, environmental policy, and lock-in effects. It defines eco-innovation and provides three definitions from different sources. It discusses policies in Europe and the Netherlands to support eco-innovation through R&D funding, knowledge transfer programs, green taxes, and regulations. It also discusses challenges of system-level lock-ins in technologies, policies, and societies that inhibit transitions to more sustainable systems.
Go Green at work
This document provides an overview of why climate change is an important issue for trade unions to address. It discusses how over half of carbon emissions are work-related and that workplaces waste large amounts of energy each year, presenting opportunities to take action. The document outlines benefits to unions and workers from including environmental matters in collective bargaining, such as job protection, investment in the organization, and healthier workplaces. It notes that most workers want to do more about climate change but feel they need more employer support. Overall, the document argues that climate change will significantly impact union members and their families, so trade unions have a role to play in addressing this issue.

It also discusses the concepts of technological trajectories, regimes and revolutions in relation to clean technology. Finally, it outlines some key components of environmental management programs within companies including structure, mechanisms for monitoring performance, guidelines and tools.
Nudging for Energy Consumption
This document discusses the ethics of nudging for sustainable energy consumption. It addresses common objections that nudging is paternalistic and reduces autonomy, but argues this is less valid for energy consumption due to infrastructure factors outside individual control. Nudging could increase autonomy by helping consumers align choices with preferences like renewable energy. The document outlines how infrastructure, limited choices, social norms, and consumer preferences support nudging for sustainable energy goals like shifting to wind and solar. Nudging uses defaults that influence choices in ways judged to make people better off.

DLAU und die Lizenzen nach dem CCB- und CCX-Modell sind für viele in der HCL-Community seit letztem Jahr ein heißes Thema. Als Notes- oder Domino-Kunde haben Sie vielleicht mit unerwartet hohen Benutzerzahlen und Lizenzgebühren zu kämpfen. Sie fragen sich vielleicht, wie diese neue Art der Lizenzierung funktioniert und welchen Nutzen sie Ihnen bringt. Vor allem wollen Sie sicherlich Ihr Budget einhalten und Kosten sparen, wo immer möglich. Das verstehen wir und wir möchten Ihnen dabei helfen!
Wir erklären Ihnen, wie Sie häufige Konfigurationsprobleme lösen können, die dazu führen können, dass mehr Benutzer gezählt werden als nötig, und wie Sie überflüssige oder ungenutzte Konten identifizieren und entfernen können, um Geld zu sparen. Es gibt auch einige Ansätze, die zu unnötigen Ausgaben führen können, z. B. wenn ein Personendokument anstelle eines Mail-Ins für geteilte Mailboxen verwendet wird. Wir zeigen Ihnen solche Fälle und deren Lösungen. Und natürlich erklären wir Ihnen das neue Lizenzmodell.
Nehmen Sie an diesem Webinar teil, bei dem HCL-Ambassador Marc Thomas und Gastredner Franz Walder Ihnen diese neue Welt näherbringen. Es vermittelt Ihnen die Tools und das Know-how, um den Überblick zu bewahren. Sie werden in der Lage sein, Ihre Kosten durch eine optimierte Domino-Konfiguration zu reduzieren und auch in Zukunft gering zu halten.
Diese Themen werden behandelt
- Reduzierung der Lizenzkosten durch Auffinden und Beheben von Fehlkonfigurationen und überflüssigen Konten
- Wie funktionieren CCB- und CCX-Lizenzen wirklich?
- Verstehen des DLAU-Tools und wie man es am besten nutzt
- Tipps für häufige Problembereiche, wie z. B. Team-Postfächer, Funktions-/Testbenutzer usw.
- Praxisbeispiele und Best Practices zum sofortigen Umsetzen
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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money.
