Theme 4 - Climate Change Mitigation and AdaptationCIFOR-ICRAF
This presentation by Christopher Martius, Henry Neufeldt, Glenn Hyman and Laura Snook focuses on the objectives and structure of the climate change adaptation and mitigation program of the FTA Research Program, their evolution over time, the major accomplishments and the main obstacles and challenges.
Environmental Economics is the branch of study showing inter disciplinary link between environment and economics and also establishes the inter dependency of both in influencing society.
The relationship between the environment and the economy can be depicted by means of the “Material Balance Model” The model was developed by Allen Kneese and R.V Ayres. The model visualizes the total economic process as a physically balanced flow between inputs and outputs.
Vulnerability describes the characteristics and circumstances of a community, system or asset that make it susceptible to the damaging effects of a hazard. There are many aspects of vulnerability, arising from various physical, social, economic, and environmental factors.
The probability that a community’s structure or geographic area is to be damaged or disrupted by the impact of a particular hazard, on account of their nature, construction, and proximity to a hazardous area.
Coping Capacity is the ability of people, organizations and systems, using available skills and resources, to face and manage adverse conditions, emergencies or disasters.

The concept of efficiency and effectivenessFrank Nyarko
Efficiency and effectiveness are management tools and they are inter-related. Companies’ main target is profitability. To ensure profitability is really achieved employees' work efficiency and effectiveness should be adhered to. To work with pace, create space and being organized are important ingredients to help remain abreast to the current trend of organizations' work demand. However the environment and each individual member are all part of the build-up to ensure maximum potential achievable. Notwithstanding each individual owe his or herself some level of the willingness to face new challenges. That comes with the readiness to remain updated. Innovation and creativity are key principle to be efficient and effective.
The growth leads to the depletion of natural resources of the planet. One of them is wood. We use unnecessary paper! Too much mess! Beware of CO2 imbalance... The immediate solution to stop destroying forests: dematerialization of exchanges with legal convincing value. Zero paper!

Note also, that homework related to this PowerPoint can be found from courses website, http://ecyg.wikispaces.com/YAC -> http://ecyg.wikispaces.com/Week_2 -> http://ecyg.wikispaces.com/message/list/Week_2 .
Development encompasses various contexts, including economic, social, political, and psychological. Economic development refers to the sustained increase in a population's standard of living, while social development focuses on improving social indicators like education, healthcare, gender equality, human rights, and overall quality of life. Human development, popularized by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), emphasizes the expansion of people's choices and capabilities, including access to education, healthcare, income opportunities, political freedoms, and social services. Political development involves strengthening democracy, governance structures, rule of law, civil liberties, and political rights. Sustainable development integrates economic, social, and environmental considerations to meet present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs.
Sustainable development in education involves the integration of principles and practices that promote long-term environmental, social, and economic sustainability within educational systems and processes. Key aspects of sustainable development in education include a holistic approach, interdisciplinary learning, systems thinking, experiential learning, values and ethics, and partnerships and collaboration between educational institutions, government agencies, civil society organizations, businesses, and local communities.
Several theories and frameworks have been proposed to understand and achieve sustainable development, including Weak vs. Strong Sustainability, Brundtland Report, Ecological Modernization, Limits to Growth, Resilience Theory, Doughnut Economics, Social-Ecological Systems Framework, and Human Development Approach. These theories provide different perspectives on the challenges and opportunities associated with sustainable development, and continue to inform research, policy-making, and practical initiatives aimed at achieving a more sustainable future.

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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

5. Development that meets the needs of the
present without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs
(Brundtland 1987-Our Common Future )
Development?
Needs?
Compromise?
6. Oxymoron- Contradiction in terms
Fuzzy concept –means all things to all people
no real world relevance, ineffective for policy
development
Worse still - A means for continuing legitimisation
of global strategies of development which will
continue the hegemony of the northern
industrialised countries
7. Acceptance- of the unsustainable nature current
developmental pathways –creation of global risks such as
global warming
Focal Point- A concept that disparate organisations and
institutions can come together around and try to look for
solutions
Orchestration of the sciences – Promotes inter-
disciplinarity –New world views that reflect real world
problems
8. Not just an academic subject of study but:
◦ a paradigmatic shift in the way we look at the
world, nature and humankind;
◦ a change that requires rigorous thinking about the
interconnections and interdependencies between
the physical, the social and the intellectual worlds

10. Time Line
1962
Rachel Carson publishes "Silent Spring". Detrimental effects of pesticides on
the environment, particularly on birds. Carson accused the chemical industry
of spreading disinformation, and public officials of accepting industry claims
uncritically.
1968 –
Paul Ehrlich publishes book "Population Bomb"
“The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s hundreds of millions
of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon
now. At this late date nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world
death rate”
The Club of Rome. Its goal is to pursue a holistic understanding of and
solutions to the 'world problematique'.
The UN General Assembly authorizes the Human Environment Conference to
be held in 1972.

12. 1980-2012
1980 - Independent Commission on International Development publishes "North:South - A Programme
for Survival" (Brandt Report). It asks for a re-assessment of the notion of development and calls for a
new economic relationship between North and South.
1982 - The UN Convention on the Law of the Sea is adopted. It establishes material rules concerning
environmental standards as well as enforcement provisions dealing with pollution of the marine
environment.
1983 - World Commission on Environment and Development forms. Chaired by Norwegian Prime
Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland, the commission works for three years to weave together a report on
social, economic, cultural, and environmental issues.
1987 - "Our Common Future" Brundtland Report) published. It ties problems together and, for the first
time, gives some direction for comprehensive global solutions. It also popularizes the term "sustainable
development".
1987 - Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer is adopted
1988 - Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change established with three working groups to assess the
most up-to-date scientific, technical and socio-economic research in the field of climate change.
1992 - U.N. Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janeiro. It results in
the publication of Agenda 21, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Framework Convention on
Climate Change, the Rio Declaration, and a statement of non-binding Forest Principles.
2002- WSSD – World Summit on Sustainable Development
2012-Rio + 20 – Institutional change for sustainable development/ Green economy
15. Three Pillars approach
Emphasizes the integration between
economy, environment and society
A good starting point for
understanding SD but a more
complex perspective is needed
17. A radical reordering of economic, social and
environmental relationships
Changing the existing developmental
processes significantly
Alter processes of consumption and
Production
Alterations to the capitalist ethos and what
this means –Capitalism doesn‟t work
Eco-Centric
18. Operating inside the existing system but
greening capatalism.
Technological fixes – Green technology
(Ecological Modernisation)
Behavioural change – Incentives taxation
Fiscal Behavioural
Anthropocentric
19. Metaphor Domain Description
Ethical Paradox Ethical Refers to the inconsistency between
the term sustainable and development
Natural Capital Stock Material Refers to the quantifiable natural
assets of the earths biosphere upon
which development is based, a position
utilised frequently in the natural
sciences

21. Why are today's problems different from
previous centuries or even decades?
Climate Change
Complex
Uncertain
Ambiguous
Non –linear
22. The very nature of these problems causes
challenges traditional disciplines
As Jeffrey Sachs recognises
„The problems just refuse to arrive in the neat
categories of academic departments‟
Sachs, J. (2008) Common Wealth, Economics
for a Crowded Planet
23. Structuring modes of academic practice
Communities of scholars who:
Specialize in some aspects of knowledge;
Share interests, concepts, methods and ways
of knowing the world
Share a particular way of thinking about the
nature of reality and knowledge
24. Mono-disciplinarity Approach using one discipline alone
Uni-directional disciplinarity Approach driven largely by one
discipline
Multi-disciplinarity Involvement of multiple disciplines but
with little or no integration of
knowledge. Competition
Inter-disciplinarity Several disciplines working together to
produce knowledge greater than the
sum of the whole. Cooperation
Trans-disciplinarity Integrated knowledge across several
disciplines that leads to new
knowledge paradigms within the
disciplines themselves as well as
research results
25.
26. Is it a science which seeks to maintain the scale
of human society within physically defined
carrying capacity of planet?
◦ Interdisciplinary endeavor: ecology, biology,
physics, chemistry, etc. plus policy sciences
◦ Transdisciplinary endeavor: ethics,
philosophy, psychology, economics, cultural
values, etc.
27. Sustainability
Goals
Social Environmental
Systems systems
Sustainability Science
28. Multiple issues have to be considered
Apossible approach is the following
matrix
30. A system is a perceived as a whole whose elements are
interconnected
Systems thinking has developed a substantial body of
knowledge drawn from a number of areas of study including:
Cybernetics, ecology and complexity theory
Emphasises the positive and the negative interactions within
a system.
31.
32. The use of pesticides on crops is one
example of how a solution to one problem
has created greater problems. While
trying to combat a pest or disease to
improve food production, pesticides in
many cases have disrupted ecosystems,
some of which indirectly support the crop
being grown and have had adverse health
effects on people from pesticide residues
on food crops
33. TRADITIONAL SCIENCE SUSTAINABILITY SCIENCE
Mechanistic Evolutionary
Curiosity-driven Problem-driven; problem-solving
Value free Value inclusive
Divide and conquer Integrate and be open
No direct policy user Potential users included
Reduce and eliminate the rest Systemic, complex system
Expert / corporate dominated Extended peer-reviewed
Profit /prestige seeking Socially relevant
Linear evolution of Non-linear evolution of knowled
knowledge Place-based analysis
Product focused Process focused, capacity buildin
