This document provides an overview of internationalization strategies for universities in the context of globalization and the knowledge society. It discusses how globalization is driving changes in higher education and research worldwide. Universities are both objects and agents of globalization. The document also examines definitions of internationalization and how internationalization policies and rationales can differ across higher education systems. It proposes mapping individual university approaches to internationalization using the Delta cycle model to assess rationales, strategies, and outcomes. The goal is to help universities develop strategic partnerships, innovation, and changes to remain relevant in the global knowledge society.
The document summarizes the evolution of the Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Protocol from 2000 to 2008-2010. It began with the World Commission on Dams report and IHA Sustainability Guidelines in 2000. From 2008-2010 a multi-stakeholder forum refined the protocol. The forum included members from developing countries, developed countries, the finance sector, hydropower sector, and NGOs focused on environmental and social aspects. The protocol assesses sustainability across topics using a 1-5 scoring system.

Hydropower is influenced by climate change, but it can also contribute to alleviating the problem. Panellists will present and discuss four aspects of these relationships:
Science and uncertainty relating to the impact of climate change on hydrology;
Reviewing the relationship between hydropower and the natural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the river basin;
Methods and incentives to use hydropower to offset GHG emissions from more carbon-intensive sources of energy; and
assessing the role of hydropower infrastructure in the face of increasing floods and drought.

The water footprint of hydropower is 10 to 50 times higher than most other energy sources due to evaporation from reservoirs. However, hydropower reservoirs have multiple uses for agriculture, industry, and ecology. Strictly defining hydropower's water footprint only in relation to energy production, without other uses, provides a more accurate "objective footprint." While evaporation removes water from the local basin, it does not necessarily consume water as it influences local climate and may become available downstream.
Este documento descreve um projeto de documentário sobre a morte anunciada do comércio tradicional. Apresenta a sinopse, técnicas e equipamento a usar, projetos relacionados pesquisados e a webgrafia. O objetivo é divulgar a opinião de comerciantes e clientes sobre soluções para revitalizar o comércio tradicional.
The document summarizes a regional leadership forum held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on the topic of Itaipu and the Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Protocol. Itaipu is a binational power plant between Brazil and Paraguay located on the Paraná River with an installed capacity of 14,000 MW. The forum discussed Itaipu's new mission of producing clean, renewable energy with social and environmental responsibility. Itaipu aims to collaborate with the International Hydropower Association to help fulfill this mission and assess its sustainability using the Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Protocol.
