Paris economic stakes of the Paris Climate Conference Oct 14th 2015
The document discusses the need for carbon removal technology to combat climate change. It notes that remaining carbon neutral is not enough, and carbon-negative approaches are needed to actively reduce atmospheric CO2 levels. It describes how air capture technology, such as that developed by Global Thermostat, can make going carbon-negative possible by filtering CO2 from the air. Global Thermostat has developed an air capture technology that can reduce carbon from the atmosphere in a profitable way. The document advocates for funding a $200 billion per year Green Power Fund through international carbon markets to build carbon-negative power plants using air capture technology in developing regions.

He appointed a Climate Action Task Force of over 60 people to design a Climate Action Plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050. The plan aims to make climate protection and reductions a key factor in all city decisions. It also sets goals to reduce overall city emissions and provide flexibility to implement strategies over time. Some initiatives include promoting renewable energy, alternative fuels, green building, recycling, and locally grown food markets.
Anthony Cox WCEF2019: Overview of world trade and the circular economy
Global materials use and greenhouse gas emissions from materials management are projected to more than double by 2060 if no action is taken. International trade can both support and be impacted by the transition to a circular economy. Trade enables the circulation of goods like secondary raw materials and second-hand goods across borders and allows countries to specialize. However, differences in standards and regulations across countries pose challenges. Cooperation on areas like harmonizing definitions, classifications, and policy alignment will help ensure trade supports improved resource efficiency on a global scale.

Conclusions of workshop 2 on energy efficiency in buildings
Adrian Gault, CCC
The Committee on Climate Change published its latest advice on UK progress reducing emissions. While emissions fell 8% in 2014, uncertainties remain in power, buildings, transport and other sectors. The Committee recommends extending low-carbon policies and funding streams beyond the next few years to provide certainty. It also recommends specific actions in the power, buildings and transport sectors. The Committee sees potential for significant sustainable bioenergy supply from waste and residues, including for anaerobic digestion, but notes it is important to use this optimally and avoid lock-in to keep options open. The government must respond to the report by October, and the Committee will advise on the fifth carbon budget by end of year.

However, consumers want green products and green companies, representing business opportunities if companies provide sustainable options that allow consumers to act on their values through their purchasing decisions.
Iseu efficiency april2011 final
This document discusses energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions trends from 1950 to 2050. It notes that world energy consumption is projected to increase 3-fold over this period while population only increases 1.5-fold. Renewable energy sources have maintained a flat market share despite overall energy needs growing. Transportation greenhouse gas emissions have risen 30% since 1990 despite improved vehicle efficiency. Buildings account for a large portion of emissions both from their construction and operation. Moving to a green economy will require both high and low technology solutions as well as alternative business models focused on sustainability.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
