The document discusses issues with the clean development mechanism (CDM) under the Kyoto Protocol. It notes that while CDM aims to fulfill the goals of Articles 2 and 3 of the Protocol, the development benefits have not adequately reached local communities. It questions whether designated operational entities examine development benefits stated in project design documents and whether national authorities properly review projects. It also examines indicators that could be used to better quantify sustainable development benefits and ensure environmental additionality of projects. It concludes that reforms are needed to the CDM process to strengthen review of methodologies and development benefits.

This presentation was given by William D. Sunderlin at "REDD+ Emerging? What we can learn from subnational initiatives", a CIFOR Official Side Event at COP 20 in Lima, Peru on Friday, 5 December.
Transforming REDD+ lessons learned and way forward
1. The document discusses lessons learned from REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation) programs and ways to improve their effectiveness.
2. It summarizes findings from the Global Comparative Study on REDD+ which assessed REDD+ policies and projects in 6 countries and found modest impacts on reducing deforestation and mixed effects on community well-being.
3. It argues that for REDD+ to be more effective, programs need to support large-scale reforms that incentivize conservation, economic efficiency, and government budgets, rather than remain as small projects. Impact assessments also need to better evaluate REDD+ outcomes.

Bright climate tool test
This document discusses addressing climate change through networks of willing and committed individuals. It argues international efforts have failed to find solutions, so citizens have created global networks focused on climate action. It recommends a new governance model that enables collaboration among these networks to mobilize public support for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. The governance network would provide a framework for hundreds of existing networks to accelerate impact through coordinated regional and issue-based collaboration.

Developing Sustainable Tourism through Social Entrepreneurship
The research was an effort to examine the relationship between social entrepreneurship SE and sustainable Tourism ST within the framework of India tourism. Thirdly, the study proposes a plan of motivating SEinside the industry. The methodology involves a case study mechanism or an approach that inculcates a systematic and comprehensive examination of associated literature to decide the situation of Indian tourism with reverence to sustainability. Findings revealed that there is inadequacy of SEprojects in context with India hospitality and tourism sector, lack of awareness is one of the major reasons for this. The learning has evaluated the circumstance in India and even though it was all inclusive within the environment of limited data accessibility. Further, the investigation makes three key commitments to the literature on sustainable hospitality and the tourism industry. First, It requires continues commitments of innovative social entrepreneurs, if the business is to turn out to be all the more extensively sustainable. Second, this research explores the degree of action needed in Indian tourism industry to understand whether its development and advantages are measurable.

This document discusses key aspects of systems engineering that are important but often overlooked. It emphasizes that:
1) While there is no single formula for success, key ingredients include clear communication, leadership, planning, and rigorous verification processes.
2) Systems engineers require a variety of skills, including the ability to see the big picture, think creatively, hunt for problems, and maintain a constructive paranoia about potential failures.
3) Designing for faults and unexpected failures is essential, as complex systems can fail in unpredicted ways and tests can never reveal all risks. The goal should be designing for success by accounting for what could go wrong.

Evaluating Rewards for Environmental Services Schemes
The document summarizes the results of a survey and interviews about environmental services schemes (RES) projects. It finds that most projects provide financial rewards like payments but some do not offer any. Contracts are usually short and simple. Many projects face challenges with sustainable financing and lack of awareness. The projects were examined through three paradigms of environmental services but many defy classification under just one. Non-financial benefits and trust-building are important for long-term participation. While projects generate environmental services in impoverished areas, most only weakly reduce poverty.

The document compares the operational complexity and costs of the Space Shuttle versus the Sea Launch Zenit rocket. [1] The Space Shuttle was designed for performance but not operational efficiency, resulting in costly ground, mission planning, and flight operations. [2] In contrast, the Zenit rocket was designed from the start to have automated and robust processes to keep operations simple and costs low. [3] The key lesson is that designing a launch system with operational requirements in mind from the beginning leads to much more efficient operations long-term.

Humor can positively impact many aspects of project management. It can improve communication, aid in team building, help detect team morale issues, and influence leadership, conflict management, negotiation, motivation, and problem solving. While humor has benefits, it also has risks and not all uses of humor are positive. Future research is needed on humor in multicultural teams, its relationship to team performance, how humor is learned, and determining optimal "doses" of humor. In conclusion, humor is a tool that can influence people and projects, but must be used carefully and spontaneously for best effect.

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.
