Global Forum on Environment dedicated to chemicals management: Tatiana Santos...OECD Environment
The Global Forum on Environment discussed the challenges posed by chemicals, provided knowledge on effective and sustainable policies for the sound management of chemicals. Together, leading actors in the field of chemicals management promoted effective engagement, collaboration and action on the sound management of chemicals and waste. The speakers included regulators and policy makers in charge of chemical safety in OECD member and partner countries as well as relevant stakeholders from International Governmental Organisations, private industry organisations and companies, civil society, philanthropies and more.
Session 2.4 focused on best practices in setting-up legal and institutional frameworks. The design and implementation of comprehensive and coherent legal and institutional frameworks are key to achieving sound management of chemicals and waste. During this session, panel members shared their experience on setting-up legal and institutional frameworks for the management of industrial and consumer chemicals, with a special emphasis on the sustainable financing of these frameworks.

Humanity is facing great challenges in the coming decades as global issues are becoming increasingly complex and interconnected. As information and knowledge across all these domains continue to grow, finding the best solutions to ensure a sustainable future will require new approaches. Collaboration across a large ecosystem will also be key: industry, policy makers, academia, research, developers and the interested public.
Deforestation is a major driver of many of these challenges, including:
-Climate change
-Hunger and lack of food security
-Rise in natural disasters and extreme weather
-Refugee crisis
-Rise in crime
-Spread of disease
-Increasing pollution
-Drought and lack of access to safe water
-Poverty
As a result, conservation of remaining forests and reforestation are key to addressing these challenges. Technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT) can help with these goals. They are uniquely adapted to tasks such as safe monitoring in remote areas, finding patterns and interconnections within macro datasets and providing local, personalized diagnosis and predictions that learn and improve over time.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
2. Biological invasions
• One out of five main direct drivers for biodiversity
changes globally
• Causing high costs for society
– $120 billion/annually in the US (Pimentel et al. 2005)
– €2.5 billion/year in the EU (Kettunen et a. 2009)
– £1.7 billion/year in the UK (CABI 2010)
• Closely linked to human activities
3. Weeds
- if unmanaged - greater yield losses than any other
crop pest (Oerke and Dehne 2004)
- Expensive:
- £105 million annually in crop losses in Britain
- £90 million annually for herbicides
(Williams et al. 2010)
- increasing problems with herbicide control
(regulations, resistances)
- great chance to increase research efforts into non-
chemical management options!
4. Using citizen science for weed management
• Project proposal to increase use of non-chemical
weed management in arable farming
• Participatory project: workshops with farmers
• Farmer/agronomists to collect/report weed and
management data
