Non-Integrated Water Resources Management
Presented by Mark Giordano
Integrated Water Resources Management provides a set of reasoned principles that, if followed, would lead us to an improved water future. This promise plus the backing of important international organizations has allowed IWRM ideals to acquire a near monopoly on water management discourse. This is unfortunate because, while the potential benefits of IWRM are large, its implementation comes with its own set of economic, political and time costs, costs which are not always considered in IWRM policy advocacy. Failure to recognize these costs can sometimes result in outcomes counter to the goals of water sector reform. The ubiquity of IWRM in policy discussions means that lower cost and potentially more effective options are sometimes not considered. This presentation highlights these points by describing the sometimes neglected costs of IWRM implementation, particularly in developing country contexts and provides a set of case studies (in India, Central Asia and China) examining solutions to water problems whose methods run counter to IWRM.

As the Sustainable Development Coordinator for Chiva-Som International Health Resorts, Brian Anderson will share how Chiva Som's CSR strategy helps to sustain economic prosperity as well as nurture a healthy, safe and vibrant community. He will also talk about the Preserve Hua Hin Group, Chiva-Som’s environmental preservation organization that organizes social events such as “climate positive”, carbon neutral concerts, marathons, reforestation projects and beach clean-ups to promote environmental preservation and awareness and increase social interaction in the local community.
Is the current organic industry truly organic and sustainable?
The document discusses whether the current organic industry is truly organic and sustainable. It begins by defining organic agriculture according to IFOAM as a system that sustains health of soils, ecosystems and people through ecological processes rather than chemical inputs. It then notes the large growth in global organic markets and top countries for organic producers and domestic markets. However, it raises questions about whether this benefits smallholder farmers and low-income groups. It also questions the level of diversity and animal husbandry in organic systems and challenges of organic certification regulations and costs. The document advocates for more community-based and financially sustainable organic models.

Environmental stewards program and River Restoration Program - Michael Rendon...
The health of American rivers is essential to the communities and environments that depend on the beneficial ecosystem services provided. Historic impacts from mining, dams, and a variety of land use practices have left many river environments and riverside communities with a legacy of polluted waterways, erosion, and habitat degradation. With an increasing need to address river health it is essential to engage young adults in this work to conserve and preserve these resources for the future. Through emerging opportunities, young adults can learn skills, gain understanding, and physically work to restore and protect river systems. Programs- like those of the Southwest Conservation Corps- are working with partners to engage this population in various ways, providing much needed job training and education through stewardship.
Michael Rendon will present on Southwest Conservation Corp’s Environmental Stewards program, highlighting past successes and engagement models for DOI Bureaus and non-profits interested in obtaining a Steward. Showcased will be Inyo County’s work on the Lower Owens River Project, along with a Sturgeon habitat restoration project with the USGS Great Lakes Science Center that was nominated for the 2013 Secretary of the Interior Partners in Conservation Award.
Mike Wight will discuss collaborative work with corps programs and partnerships furthering multi-year, watershed-length habitat restoration initiatives on major tributaries in the Colorado River Basin. Word crews and interns provide much of the hands-on restoration implementation within these initiatives after completing comprehensive training.
In all three of these programs, participants foster a respect for river systems while gaining valuable work experience and building resumes for future conservation careers.
The Southwest Conservation Corps empowers individuals to positively impact their lives, their communities, and the environment.

The World Health Organization's Healthy Cities program aims to promote local strategies for health, quality of life, basic sanitation, hygiene, and healthcare access. Thousands of cities worldwide are part of this network, with programs tailored to individual cities while following the basic idea of involving community members and stakeholders to achieve widespread support and efficiency. Evaluation of programs looks at factors like intersectoral partnerships, community commitment, and institutionalization of policies and processes.
The city i envision
The document envisions the sustainable city of the future through waste management focused on reducing consumption and recycling waste into energy, efficient water usage like rainwater collection and wastewater recycling, reduced car dependency through carpooling and electric vehicle sharing within high-walkability urban areas, and low CO2 emissions from limited fossil fuel use and renewable energy generation at every house and building. The city also has many green areas like inner-city gardens and roof gardens to mitigate the urban heat island effect and provides shelters using recycled and reused containers.
Public Realm as Sustainable Design
The document discusses the public realm as sustainable design. It defines the public realm as any accessible space like parks, plazas, and streets. Historically, public open spaces became integral to city planning in the 1800s-1930s as a reaction to overcrowded cities. Sustainable design considers social, economic, and environmental factors. Examples of sustainable public spaces given are Central Park in New York and parks in Sydney post-Olympics. Rating systems can be used to measure sustainability but should not override good design. Equal access to green space improves quality of life.
Vision towards an Eco city
An eco-city aims to limit pollution, efficiently use resources, and create awareness through various measures such as roof top gardening, use of renewable energy, waste management, and reducing the heat island effect. Renewable energy sources like solar and wind would be used to produce clean electricity. Buildings would be equipped with solar panels and water treatment would allow for reuse. Waste management would include recycling and provide a healthy environment. Resources would be efficiently used by reducing CO2 production and costs while minimizing waste. Awareness would be created around renewable energy, tree planting, cleanliness, and pollution reduction efforts to develop a sustainable eco-city.

Sustainable Development 2.pptx
Sustainable development involves meeting current needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. It balances economic growth, environmental stewardship, and social progress. Major challenges to sustainability include issues like pollution, depletion of resources, poverty, and ecosystem destruction from unchecked development. To build a sustainable future, corporations, communities, and individuals should minimize their environmental impact through practices like using renewable energy and materials, designing for efficiency, and ensuring responsible resource use and waste management.

Findhorn ecovillage - Sustainable Ecovillage
Situated in northern Scotland, Findhorn Ecovillage was founded in the 1960s and has since grown to over 500 residents living in 65 eco-buildings. The community aims to demonstrate sustainable development through ecological housing, renewable energy systems, organic food production, and sustainable economics. Notable achievements include producing more electricity than needed through four community-owned wind turbines, an ecologically engineered sewage treatment plant, and establishing their own local currency. Findhorn has received several awards for its pioneering work in sustainable living.
Lecture_10_Finding_Energy,Food_for_Humanity_and_Sustainable_Societies.pptx
This document discusses finding sustainable sources of energy and food for humanity. It notes that fossil fuels are finite and have environmental impacts. Renewable energy sources like solar, wind and hydro are introduced as more sustainable alternatives. Sustainable agriculture techniques that conserve soil and water are also described. Achieving global food security requires addressing issues like population growth, land degradation, and equitable food distribution. Creating a sustainable society involves meeting present needs without compromising the future through efficient energy and resource use, reducing pollution, and stabilizing population growth.
Green economy
This document discusses the concept of a green economy. A green economy aims to improve human well-being and social equity while significantly reducing environmental risks. It is an economy that sustains development without degrading the environment. A green economy was initiated in response to multiple crises and accelerating resource scarcity. It provides opportunities to reduce poverty and inequality through sustainable management of natural resources. Key sectors of a green economy include renewable energy, green buildings, sustainable transport, water management, waste management, and land management. Developing countries face challenges in transitioning to a green economy due to low emissions levels and investments. Enabling conditions include establishing regulations, removing subsidies, prioritizing green investments, and engaging the private sector and public.

It is an economic system that reduces ecological scarcities through more sustainable use of resources. Key sectors of a green economy include renewable energy, green buildings, sustainable transport, water management, waste management, and land management. Transitioning to a green economy can help drive job growth while reducing poverty and environmental degradation. Developing countries face additional challenges in adopting green economic policies and need support through capacity building and private sector engagement.
Waste management
The document discusses waste management at Govardhan Eco Village, a farm community located 110km from Mumbai. It describes how the integrated waste management system recycles both organic and inorganic waste. Organic waste from food, humans, animals and foliage is converted into compost, biogas or mulch. Inorganic waste such as plastics, construction materials and packaging is reused for agriculture, energy or products. The eco village aims to present a sustainable living model through community living and education in traditional sciences.

Planning for future Cities.ppt
Cities of the future will have to be viewed, considered, planned, designed, constructed and managed based on consideration of sustainability, inclusiveness, safety and security. Cities will have to be role model of conserving land, minimizing the the consumption of energy; making cities water neutral , zero waste, material efficient. Promoting, preserving and making value addition to Climate, environment , ecology and bio-diversity shall be the underlying philosophy of urban planning. Cities will be planned to meet the basic needs of all inhabitants and not their greed. Cities will be held in the co-operative ownership eliminating individual ownership. Cities will be mandated to meet all the basic needs of human living including shelter, food, employment , clothing, education and healthcare. Poorest of the poor will have all the basic amenities. Unplanned, haphazard and sub-standard development will have no place in the city development. Technology will be used for promoting efficiency, economy, productivity and transparency in decision making and working besides connecting communities . Cities will be managed by professionals- architects, planners and engineers and not be bureaucrats, having no knowledge and understanding of the urban development. Cities will create ownership and commitment on the part of all stakeholders. each city will have a well defined vision and mission to achieve. Local governance will have precedent over state's dictates and policies.
