March 26th this year saw over 300 healthcare organisations take action to promote sustainability and increase public health awareness and we are fortunate enough to have the support of; Public Health England, Department of Health, Department for Energy and Climate Change and The Prime Minister, David Cameron. Working with these stakeholders we aim to further develop the links between health and sustainability thus improving economical and health outcomes within the UK.
For the 2016 campaign, beginning in September, and to celebrate our 5th year of the campaign we will be promoting 50kg of carbon. This is effectively promoting what the public and health professionals can do to save 50kg of carbon. This could be achieved through; walking to work, cycling, planting a tree etc.

Climate change is an issue of grave international importance. It has an obvious
direct impact on human health. The healthcare sector, which consumes a significantly
substantial amount of resources through the construction and operation of complex
hospitals and healthcare establishments, the use of modern technologies that are
energy-intensive and the generation of a large amount of waste, has itself become a
public health concern of some significance1. 10.6% of all energy utilized by commercial
establishments in Brazil is by hospitals2. The National Health Service (NHS)

Green economy a way to deal with climate changesauravkumar das
The aspiration levels of people have skyrocketed in developing economies like India. Gas guzzling automobiles, account for more than 70% of the pollution & the consequent global warming. Corporate gluttony is on the rise. Viewing business activities through the lens of the triple bottom-line paradigm of people, planet & profit is what will make our society progressive.

Bunaken Island | Nov-15 | Smart Villages Findings and ProgressSmart Villages
By John Holmes
Off-grid electrification for development of small islands represents a number of unique challenges under the broad category of rural electrification. Small, off-grid island communities are particularly vulnerable to diesel price fluctuations and natural disasters, and thus, enhancing resilience through more sustainable and cheaper energy technologies should be a key priority. Financing the transition to these technologies – usually photovoltaic, micro-hydro or sometimes wind – is an essential hurdle to overcome. Once electricity systems are in place it is equally important that they are sustained in the longer term with effective arrangements for operation and maintenance, cost recovery etc. Related to this, is the productive use of the energy provided to increase islander incomes.
The workshop on Bunaken Island, Sulawesi, Indonesia from 3 to 5 November 2015, organised by the Smart Villages Initiative in collaboration with Kopernik, will explore these issues and develop recommendations for policy makers, development agencies and other stakeholders in energy provision to island communities.

In light of the discussions held at the Asia Forum 2018 Campfire Session led by Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI), the SPHS webinar "Human Rights, Water and Antimicrobial Resistance: A New Nexus-Approach To Address a Complex Challenge?" focuses on the relationship between a healthy environment and human rights, with a special focus on water and antibiotics. Experts explain how this approach can stimulate virtuous developments within the health sector, and how health care providers ensure simultaneous access to affordable medicines while safeguarding human rights of people living nearby production sites, who share the same water resources. The objective is to share information with the audience about the activities of pharmaceutical companies and relevant stakeholders from the health sector, including leading practices and gaps, to trigger a conversation on how purchasers can influence sustainable procurement of pharmaceuticals.
In addition, Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs & Formulations) or chemicals that are discharged in the wastewater from the production of pharmaceuticals, impact the human health and the environment through water contamination. The webinar also discusses strategies to effectively measure and monitor the APIs in the wastewater discharged resulting from production, development and related activities involving pharmaceuticals manufacturing.

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 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.
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.

Altered Terrain: Colonial Encroachment and Environmental Changes in Cachar, A...PriyankaKilaniya
The beginning of colonial policy in the area was signaled by the British annexation of the Cachar district in southern Assam in 1832. The region became an alluring investment opportunity for Europeans after British rule over Cachar, especially after the accidental discovery of wild tea in 1855. Within this historical context, this study explores three major stages that characterize the evolution of nature. First, it examines the distribution and growth of tea plantations, examining their size and rate of expansion. The second aspect of the study examines the consequences of land concessions, which led to the initial loss of native forests. Finally, the study investigates the increased strain on forests caused by migrant workers' demands. It also highlights the crucial role that the Forest Department plays in protecting these natural habitats from the invasion of tea planters. This study aims to analyze the intricate relationship between colonialism and the altered landscape of Cachar, Assam, by means of a thorough investigation, shedding light on the environmental, economic, and societal aspects of this historical transformation.

The use of solar energy does not release sulfur dioxide and other
particulate matters impacting human health. In 2015, 4 million
Dirhams was invested on solar installations in our hospitals, through
many projects:
-Solar photovoltaic systems (SPV) for outdoor lighting and the
pumping and irrigation processes: 90% of outdoor lighting is
provided through solar energy.
-Solar thermal energy: More than 70% of all buildings are
equipped with solar collectors.
We've also committed to invest nearly 7 million Dirhams in
renewable energy projects this year. Currently, there is about 80
kilowatts-peak (kWp) of installed capacity and we will install 200
kWp by the end of 2016.
With regard to low-temperature geothermal energy, The
geothermal system will be used to heat and cool the building covers
an area of two hundred square-meter.
Several actions have been made to reduce water consumption :
-Retrofit new water-efficient plumbing fixtures: the electronic
sensor faucets that replaces standard faucets and Replace your old
water-guzzling toilet with a low-flow one. Older toilets use
between 20 to 25 litres per flush. New ultra-low-flow toilets use just
six litres per flush.
- Drip irrigation lines direct water directly to where plants need it.
