The trailer provides a summary of key plot points and characters from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in under 2 minutes. It shows the characters growing up at Hogwarts school over time through changes in lighting, costumes, and expressions. The editing uses a montage structure and increases in pace to build tension. Different shots and angles are used to introduce the main characters. Music and voiceovers are included to further immerse the audience in the world of the film and tease the adventure to come. The target audience is identified as being between 15-45 years old due to the school setting and mature themes.
This document outlines the by-laws of the Climate Action Network of South Asia (CANSA). It establishes CANSA to foster regional cooperation among civil society organizations in addressing climate change. The by-laws describe CANSA's vision, mission, objectives, and programs. They also establish rules for CANSA governance, including decision-making processes, membership eligibility, and the role and election of a governing board. The by-laws are intended to facilitate decision-making among CANSA members from different countries and organizations.
South Asia faces significant development challenges that are exacerbated by climate change. It is home to 1.53 billion people living on just 10% of Asia's land, with high population density and 66.7% of people living on less than $2 per day. Countries in the region share natural resources like water and experience complex political relations. They are highly vulnerable to disasters and climate impacts due to emissions from the power and food sectors and reliance on fossil fuels, but have low per capita emissions. Effective regional cooperation and policies are needed to mitigate future crises in food and water for the region's growing population and provide basic necessities and inclusive growth.
The UNEP Emissions Gap Report analyzes the difference between countries' emission pledges and levels needed to meet climate targets. It finds an "emissions gap" of 8-12 gigatons of CO2 equivalent by 2020 to meet a 2 degree target, and more to hit 1.5 degrees. Current global emissions are estimated around 50 gigatons and projected to be 59 gigatons by 2020 without more action. To close the gap, the report recommends stricter accounting, increasing the scope and conditionality of pledges, and enhancing international cooperation on low-carbon technologies and practices.
The document summarizes key findings from the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report regarding climate change projections for South Asia. It finds that human activity is the dominant cause of warming since the 1950s. If emissions continue at a high rate, the Arctic Ocean will likely be ice-free in summers by 2050. South Asia will experience increased temperatures, rainfall, and sea level rise by mid-century, posing challenges for coastal areas, agriculture, and infrastructure. Adaptation and mitigation efforts are needed to reduce impacts.
The document summarizes the outcomes of the UNFCCC negotiations in Bonn, Germany from June 4-15, 2014. It discusses that negotiations are progressing towards a 2015 international climate agreement in Paris. While the timeline is on track, it is unclear if the agreement will be ambitious enough to limit climate impacts. The document also discusses Sri Lanka's involvement, noting they are part of the G77 and China groups and contributed to discussions on agriculture adaptation and research. Sri Lanka plans to submit their post-2020 climate actions by March 2015 as input to the Paris agreement.
India faces significant challenges with poverty, access to energy, and a growing energy demand. Over 1/3 of Indians live below $1.25 per day and over 30% of households lack electricity access. India's energy demand is projected to grow substantially by 2047 across sectors like industry, transport, and agriculture under different scenarios. Current energy supply relies heavily on domestic coal and will need to transition to less emissions-intensive sources like natural gas, renewables, and nuclear to meet demand sustainably. National policies have aimed to boost renewables through incentives and tariffs but barriers like financing, grid limitations, and governance capacity remain. Strengthening the grid and rationalizing subsidies and tariffs are needed to support India's low
The assembly discussed the evacuation of children from cities to the countryside during World War 2, with only teachers accompanying them by train. It described how Germany attacked Britain to bomb factories and disrupt food and supply ships. The assembly emphasized that Britain was able to fight back as a united country that developed new plans and received support from allies, despite initial disadvantages, and rationing was introduced to distribute limited resources equitably.

Climate change will significantly impact South Asia through increased poverty, effects on agriculture and food security, reduced water availability, and increased health issues. The proposed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to address these impacts by focusing on poverty eradication, food security, water and sanitation, energy access, and building climate resilience. However, some argue the goals could more explicitly address natural limits to growth, adaptation, inequality, and governance issues. While integrating climate change across multiple goals is positive, ensuring meaningful commitments and financing remains a challenge.
The document summarizes key principles of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), including:
1) The climate system is a common concern requiring cooperation by all countries according to their differentiated responsibilities and capabilities. Developed countries should take the lead in addressing climate change.
2) Developing countries' special needs and vulnerabilities must be considered. Policies should allow sustainable development and eradicating poverty.
3) Responses to climate change should balance environmental protection, economic development, and equity between nations. The UNFCCC is guided by the principles of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities.
The ADP was established at COP17 in Durban to develop a new international climate agreement by 2015 that is applicable to all parties. It has two work streams - WS1 focuses on developing the new agreement for post-2020 and WS2 aims to enhance pre-2020 ambition. The ADP aims to complete its work by 2015 and have the new agreement come into effect in 2020. It held informal discussions from 2012-2013 to bring parties to a common understanding. The goals of the ADP co-chairs are to make progress on the 2015 agreement content, initiate discussions on nationally-determined contributions, and raise pre-2020 ambition.
The document discusses the evaluation of a media magazine project. It includes sections on conventions used in the media product, the effectiveness of combining the main product with ancillary texts like a trailer and poster, audience feedback, and the use of media technologies. The document analyzes how the project utilizes or challenges real media conventions and forms. It also examines how feedback was gathered from audiences on social media and screenings, and what was learned from this feedback. Finally, it outlines the various software, cameras, and technologies used to create the different elements of the media package.
This document discusses Nepal's national climate change policies and civil society's role in influencing their implementation. It outlines Nepal's key climate change policies from 2010-2013, including the National Adaptation Program of Action, the Climate Change Policy, and the Local Adaptation Plan of Action framework. It describes how civil society organizations have implemented on-the-ground adaptation actions, built capacity, and generated evidence to influence policymaking through interactions with policymakers. It calls for a focus on implementing existing adaptation plans, identifying agents for implementation, fostering regional knowledge exchange, prioritizing national priorities in international negotiations, and speeding up the climate change negotiation process.
Sri Lanka has made progress transitioning to renewable energy sources like hydro, which now provides 27.9% of its energy. Micro-hydro schemes have helped expand rural electrification from 40% in the 1980s to an estimated 98% currently. Key institutions like SLSEA and SLSEF promote sustainable energy development. Sri Lanka's experience with micro-hydro suggests such projects can effectively increase energy access in developing nations if long-term maintenance, governance, and community engagement are addressed.
Nepal has taken several adaptation actions in response to climate change, guided by national policies and plans. Key actors implementing adaptation include government ministries and local governments working with NGOs and communities. Priority needs addressed are agriculture, water resources, disasters, forests, health, and urban infrastructure. The National Adaptation Program of Action guides implementation of community-level Local Adaptation Plans of Action to build resilience. Programs promote climate literacy, alternative energy, and community-based adaptation in areas like agriculture, though documentation of results needs improvement. Opportunities include strong policies and mainstreaming with other initiatives, while capacity and funding challenges remain.
International frameworks for adaptation and the role of civil society. This document discusses:
1) Key adaptation milestones under the UNFCCC including National Adaptation Programs of Action (NAPAs) and the transition to National Adaptation Plans (NAPs). NAPAs identified urgent needs for Least Developed Countries while NAPs take a longer term approach.
2) The NAP process outlined in new technical guidelines, including establishing work streams to develop assessments, institutional arrangements, and monitoring and evaluation.
3) The important role of civil society in the NAP process through providing local expertise, reflecting community needs, and promoting transparency and accountability. Civil society can help integrate gender, traditional knowledge
The document summarizes posters brought in for a class project about cult films. It notes similarities among the posters, including dark colors representing death and gloom, a focus on powerful men or innocent women highlighting main characters, and prominent eyes suggesting there is more to the films than meets the eye. A few posters differed from the others by having brighter colors that made the genre less clear or by featuring many people instead of one main character.
