The document discusses the UK's emissions reductions efforts and priorities going forward. It notes that while the UK contributes a small percentage to global emissions, showing economic and compelling examples could influence other large emitters like China. Though quantitative contribution is small, qualitative leadership is important. Priorities should include reliability, security, and economics. Large-scale carbon capture and renewable exports could provide cost-effective reductions while enhancing jobs and energy security. Quality policies that enhance well-being and competitiveness over the long run are needed.
Bringing Energy Efficiency to the Developing World
This document discusses bringing energy efficiency to developing countries. It notes that greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius. Energy efficiency is one of the "four wedges" needed to transition to a low carbon development path. The document outlines the Sustainable Energy for All initiative's goals of ensuring universal energy access and doubling the global rate of energy efficiency improvement by 2030. It also discusses special issues for developing countries, such as removing fossil fuel subsidies and designing energy systems and buildings to incorporate decentralized renewable energy and energy efficiency standards.
Climate Change as an Opportunity
This document discusses the threats of climate change and opportunities for mitigating it. Global greenhouse gas emissions are exceeding levels needed to limit warming to 2°C. The carbon budget for staying below 2°C is likely to be exceeded by 2040. Ten solutions are proposed, including integrating climate into economic decision making, establishing a carbon price, increasing low-carbon infrastructure investment, and shifting away from coal power. Transitioning to a low-carbon economy could drive significant economic growth through investments in renewable energy technologies like solar and wind power, which have huge untapped potential. The costs of transition are financially feasible and would amount to around $640 billion per year globally.

Attracting Private Investment for Indonesia’s Green Recovery: High-level Launch of the Clean Energy Finance and Investment Policy Review of Indonesia
Stephanie Cairns, Member, Alberta Climate Leadership Panel
Alberta implemented a new climate policy in November 2015 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to a lower-carbon economy. The policy includes an economy-wide carbon levy, a phase out of coal-fired power by 2030, a cap on oil sands emissions, reduced methane emissions from oil and gas, and an energy efficiency agency. Revenue from the carbon levy will fund renewable energy, green infrastructure, energy efficiency programs, tax cuts, and support for vulnerable groups. The policy aims to make Alberta's energy industry and electricity generation cleaner while incentivizing emissions reductions across the economy.

Panel 4. CCS technology - Dr Elizabeth Burton
Elizabeth Burton from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory presented on opportunities and challenges for carbon capture and storage (CCS) in California. California has ambitious climate policies but is the 7th largest global economy and 17th largest carbon emitter, making CCS critical to meet long-term goals. Studies show CCS is needed to achieve an 80% reduction in emissions by 2050. However, CCS projects are not moving forward due to short-term policy focus on 2020 targets, limited inclusion of CCS in planning, and declining funding. For CCS to succeed in California, it must be fully integrated into long-term energy and infrastructure planning, have defined regulatory roles, and incentives to establish a business case beyond 2020.

Comenius italian presentation
The document discusses energy efficiency in Europe, outlining the EU's goals and policies around increasing energy efficiency. Specifically:
1) The EU aims to achieve a 20% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, generate 20% of its energy from renewable sources, and improve energy efficiency by 20% by 2020.
2) Measures to achieve these goals include increasing efficiency in appliances, buildings, transport, and power generation.
3) Improving energy efficiency could save over 100 billion euros per year by 2020 and reduce CO2 emissions by 780 million tonnes annually.
Copy of Lect4Energy2
The document discusses energy production and trade in the Asia Pacific region. It finds that oil and coal currently dominate the primary energy mix, but that natural gas, nuclear, and renewable sources are growing. Energy demand is projected to significantly rise in the region through 2030, driven largely by China and India. India relies heavily on coal for energy but aims to increase natural gas usage. The document calls for regional cooperation on energy security, including coordinated stockpiling, infrastructure for cross-border energy transport, and development of alternative energy sources.
Energy Climate Change Towards An Integrated Eu Policy
The EU has been working to tackle climate change since the early 1990s through measures like the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol, the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, and climate policy packages. The EU wants to be a global leader in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and hopes to convince other countries to join an international emissions reduction agreement at the 2009 Copenhagen summit.
Assessment of NDCs and implemented policies - EU - COP 23
The document discusses the European Union's emissions projections, decarbonization efforts, and policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It finds that the EU's current NDC is insufficient and would lead to 2-3°C of warming by 2100. It notes that coal currently makes up 25% of EU electricity generation and 17% of greenhouse gas emissions, and that phasing out coal by 2030 is needed to be consistent with the Paris Agreement's goals. The document concludes that the EU needs to enhance its climate policies by phasing out coal by 2030, increasing renewable energy deployment, fully decarbonizing the energy sector by 2050, and achieving net zero emissions in the second half of the century.

Bcfr April 20 2010
My presentation to the Birmingham Committee on Foreign Relations, outlining the difficulties with current climate negotiations.
Business And Climate Change March 2010
Climate change is happening and is caused by human activity. The scientific consensus is that global temperatures have risen significantly since the industrial revolution and the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere are the highest they have been in at least 650,000 years. If emissions continue unabated, global temperatures could rise by 2-5 degrees Celsius by 2100, causing widespread impacts. Business contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and will be impacted by physical and regulatory changes resulting from climate change. Many companies are already taking action to reduce their carbon footprints and develop low-carbon technologies and solutions.
Climate Wedges
This project enumerates ways to mitigate climate change through eight strategies. Each strategy, called as 'wedge', when implemented could reduce carbon emission by 1b ton by 2055. This project prioritizes these strategies based on cost of implementation and public opinion. Ranks are assigned from 1 to 8, with 1 for highly feasible [low cost and less criticism] and 8 for hardly feasible.
As seen from the presentation, adopting to biofuels is found to be least feasible (rank-8), followed by fuel switching for electricity (rank-7). In contrast, improving transport efficiency is found to be highly feasible (rank-1), followed by efficiency in electricity production (rank-2). Justifications (qualitative and quantitative) are provided for the ranking of each strategy.
In the concluding slides, stakeholder perspectives are provided for automobile industry and industrial/developing nations. The climate wedges concept was developed by Princeton University, Ford and BP to find solutions to greenhouse gas problem (see references).

CRC Study
This document discusses potential leadership roles for the Communications Research Centre (CRC) in developing a national Green IT strategy in Canada. It recommends that CRC establish a pilot program to host government applications on its GreenStar Network and offer virtualization services to departments. This would allow CRC to assess the actual energy costs of computing, establish an incentive mechanism where departments are rewarded for reducing physical infrastructure, and negotiate with Public Works to receive credits for measurable energy reductions achieved through Green IT solutions. The document also provides background on climate change impacts, trends in climate policy and regulations, case studies of Green IT programs at other organizations, and other potential roles for CRC in certifying the carbon impact of IT and demonstrating Green IT solutions to small and medium enterprises.
AGM 2010 presentations
The document discusses the role of universities in addressing climate change. It summarizes the work of the Committee on Climate Change (CCC), an independent body established under the UK Climate Change Act to advise the government on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The CCC recommends that the UK reduce emissions by at least 80% by 2050 from 1990 levels through measures like decarbonizing electricity generation, increasing renewable energy and electric vehicles, and improving building efficiency. Universities have a key role to play in the innovation needed to achieve these targets through research, developing new technologies, and training graduates with low-carbon skills.

Low emission strategy dc zagreb_2012
This document summarizes a transition to low-emission development. It discusses the need to limit global temperature rise to 2°C by stabilizing carbon dioxide equivalent concentrations at 450 ppm and cutting emissions 50% by 2050. It also notes that the world population is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050, placing greater pressure on resources. The EU has committed to reducing emissions 20-30% below 1990 levels by 2020 through various policy instruments and legislation. Developing low-emission development strategies and nationally appropriate mitigation actions will be important for achieving long-term sustainable development goals.
Module 10 - Section 1 Introduction: adaptation, mitigation & energy & climate...
An overview of the predicted change in energy demand over time, given the projection that economic growth in the emerging and developing countries is not only overtaking growth in the industrialized countries, but that growth rates are poised to continue increasing and will make unsustainable demands on conventional energy resources, and especially fossil fuels unless drastic action, climate action in fact, is taken to address this concern.
Slide presentations developed to demonstrate how Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) be used to address climate change, and why ICTs are a crucial part of the solution – i.e. in promoting efficiency, Green Growth & sustainable development, in dealing with climate change and for climate and environmental action. These slide presentations were delivered in February 2011 in Seongnam, near Seoul in Korea.
These presentations were developed and delivered over 2.5 days on the occasion of a Regional Training of Trainers Workshop for upcoming Academy modules on ICT for Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Abatement. These modules were developed as part of the Academy of ICT Essentials for Government leaders developed by the United Nations (UN) Asia Pacific Centre for ICT Training (APCICT), based in Songdo City, in the Republic of South Korea.
These presentations were developed in 2011, and are somewhat out of date, but most of the principles still apply. Module 10, which has been published, does not include much of the information outlined in these presentations, which are fairly technical. They were developed to address a significant gap in understanding of the technical basis of using ICTs for climate action and because there is a clear bias in development circles against the importance of dealing with climate change mitigation in developing countries. These presentations are an attempt to redress this lack and are published here with this purpose in mind.
The author, Richard Labelle, is presently working on updating these presentations to further highlight the importance of addressing climate change and the important role that technology including ICTs, play in this effort.
Heritage Resource Bank Apr09
The document discusses several key issues around global energy demand, domestic US energy production, and environmental policy goals. It notes that while energy demand is increasing, barriers to development of domestic oil, gas and other energy sources have also increased due to environmental concerns. However, it argues that "acceptable" renewable energy alone cannot meet growing demand. It questions whether ambitious environmental emissions reduction targets can realistically be met and what the large-scale implications would be.
Transition to low emission development
The document discusses transitioning to low-emission development. It notes that greenhouse gas emissions must be cut 50% by 2050 to keep global temperature increase below 2 degrees Celsius. The transition requires a mix of policies like carbon pricing, clean technology development, reducing deforestation, and behavioral changes. Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) are part of developing long-term low-carbon strategies. Support is needed to help countries design and implement low-emission development strategies and NAMAs through tools, guidance, and building national expertise.
Decc the carbon-plan
This document outlines the UK government's approach to tackling climate change through reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It identifies three critical areas for change: electricity generation, heating homes and businesses, and powering vehicles. The government is taking a whole-economy approach guided by principles of fairness, sustainability, facilitation, and international cooperation. The top priorities are developing EU leadership, building the case for global action with key partners, supporting developing countries, and ensuring progress in international climate negotiations.
Tackling Climate Change: Local Planning for a Global Crisis
The document discusses the need for local planning to address climate change by reducing emissions and adapting to impacts. It notes that climate change is real and its effects are already being seen. While the debate has shifted from whether to act to how much and by when, impacts on economies are significant if action is not taken. The UK has legally binding targets to reduce emissions, and local impacts are expected to include rising temperatures and increased winter precipitation. Local authorities have a role to play through geographic information systems planning in areas like land use, energy consumption, flooding, transportation and raising awareness. Personal and local action plans can help address priority issues through both reducing carbon footprints and increasing resilience.

Tom Wilbanks argues that avoiding severe climate change impacts will require dramatically improving our ability to inform decisions about response options. Information professionals will play a critical role in determining if we are successful. The document discusses the challenges of stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations, accelerating technological change, improving data integration and connecting science to decisions. Realizing the potential of information to help address climate change will require agency support and developing national climate services.
Carbon cycle
1. The document discusses key issues related to accounting for land use, land-use change, and forestry (LULUCF) activities under the Kyoto Protocol. 2. It notes that LULUCF activities can significantly sequester carbon in forests and soils for decades or centuries, but some carbon may eventually be re-released and it is difficult to separate direct human impacts from indirect impacts. 3. The document analyzes different interpretations of articles in the Kyoto Protocol dealing with LULUCF activities and their potential effects on carbon sequestration credits.
Sn Climate Equity Sa Media Aug 09
Climate change poses urgent challenges that require global cooperation and drastic action. The impacts of climate change like extreme weather events are already being felt around the world. However, countries have made little progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions despite decades of climate negotiations. Developed nations need to make deeper cuts in emissions while providing funding and technologies to help developing countries transition to low-carbon economies. Equity is needed to share the remaining carbon budget fairly and ensure the poor can still develop. Major changes are required across energy, transport, land use and forestry to reinvent economic growth sustainably.
Climate Change (By Anumita)
The document discusses several key issues related to climate change:
1) Developing countries will be disproportionately impacted by climate change and have contributed less to causing the problem historically. Equity is needed in international agreements to address this.
2) While emissions trading can help reduce costs, the focus should be on transitioning to clean energy rather than subsidizing fossil fuels. Mechanisms like CDM risk locking countries into carbon-intensive pathways.
3) Transportation is a fast growing source of emissions. Stronger fuel efficiency and emissions standards globally, especially in major developing country markets, could significantly reduce emissions trends.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

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.
