Environmental Education is facing new challenges. Despite significant achievements, from institutional agencies and others, it must be strengthened and project its expansion, thereby eliminating the slow bureaucratic aspects, creating new strategies of action, further opening of the social agencies and pursuing broader international commitments. Deepening in Environmental Education is the surest path to planetary transformation and survival of the human race.

Study will discuss the resource based view as well as institution based view from the BP’s point of view. Further, study will explore how some countries such as Russia and China have different approach towards western countries in international trade and business ethics.
It is mainly the inhabitants of the global South who suffer from the effects of climate change. They are faced with the destruction of their living space and the violation of their human rights. At the same time, existing human rights standards offer the possibility of establishing points of reference during international climate negotiations to address such questions as adjustment programs designed to confront the effects of climate change, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, technology transfers, and the future of development. As a frame of reference, human rights standards can serve to accurately evaluate policies and to pinpoint their failures, particularly regarding how these policies affect the world’s weakest inhabitants. This publication by the political scientist Theodor Rathgeber uses case examples to illustrate the dangers faced by indigenous peoples in particular, as well as the tools the UN human rights system gives them to support their struggle for just climate policies.

My Energy use for the entire day
When I wake up in the morning, the following are ways through which I use energy until such a time when I retire to bed:
· Lighting the room that consumes about 8% of the energy.
· Cooking using an electric oven that consumes 14% of the energy and other time use gas cookers.
· The refrigerator that remains on throughout consumes about 18% of the energy.
· Cooling and heating of the water using dispensers and also microwave that consumes about 10% of the energy.
· Dishwashing that uses about 6% of the energy.
· Washing and drying of the clothes that uses 18% of energy.
· Fueling of the car using petrol to go out for the shopping and other activities of interest to me that uses 20% of energy.
· Use of the laptop to do research and other assignments that uses 2% of energy.
· TV and DVDs use 4% of the energy.
Considering different ways that I do use energy, some of them pose a potential adverse effect on the climate change such as carbon emission from petrol fuels. Additionally, sources of the energy that is used are not renewable and considering some of the machines that I use such as washers and dryers, refrigerators and electric cookers, it means that I am one of the people that contribute climate change and therefore, there is need to innovatively consider strategies that I need to in place to reduce energy consumption which would go along way in minimizing negative that I cause to the environment. To deeply address concerns of the climate change in the wider context, I will thoroughly reflect on the week 2, 3, 6, 9, 10 and 11 which address various issues that relate to environmental communication.
Reflection on Energy on use and its integration to climate change and also environmental communication.
In the earlier section, I have identified various through which is use energy when I wake up unto when I retire to sleep. It is equivocal that some of the ways through which I used energy have been introduced after the industrial revolution and even more machines are being introduced which uses fossils fuels which are continually causing climate changes. For example, washing machines and dry cleaners and vehicles are some of the machines which contribute emit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that have an adverse effect on the environment. From my personal experiences and upon reflection of the material that I have covered for the past weeks, there are 8 core concepts and ideas that require attention in the resolve to address climate change and revamp environmental communication. These ideas and concepts are as discussed below:
a) Risk factors of climate change
It is important to become aware of the risk factors of climate change. I cannot wait to be a victim of the .

Corporate Interests And Actions Can Harm The Environment
In the developing world, many development projects have come under criticism fordamaging the environment, even when they are presented as helping it. Concerns haveincreased in line with the rising investment in the developing world.
In the late 1990s attention was drawn to a United Nations (U.N.) project to get corporate collaboration/sponsorship in development projects, supporting human rights and the environment, and being generally more responsible and accountable. However it fell under a lot of criticism for involving corporations that are known to have contributed or caused some of the more severe human rights and environment problems, allowing these companies to attempt to repair their tarnished image, while not actually tackling the problems.
In May 2002, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) released an extensivereport saying that,

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
