OHH 2020 - Malaria Team 7
The document presents a proposal to address malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa through micro-financing sustainable local businesses. It notes that malaria affects hundreds of millions annually and is exacerbated by climate change. The proposal is to create a website platform called "Growth for Good Club" where sustainable Sub-Saharan African businesses can apply to be showcased and receive investments from companies, individuals, and institutions around the world. This would provide funding to develop local economies while also integrating new climate-safe technologies to reduce malaria prevalence over the long term through increased community wealth and resilience.
OHH 2020 - Influenza Team 4
The document discusses strategies for preventing the spread of animal sickness on farms and to humans. It compares strategies like proper hygiene and PPE, biosecurity, early detection and reporting, and proper isolation and treatment that can prevent financial loss and pandemics to doing nothing which can result in animal and farmer illness, decreased reproduction and profit, and exponential disease spread. It also discusses models for nonprofit funding including major donor funding appeals, replacing governmental systems through public provider models, online crowdfunding, and offline fundraising through mail, events and solicitations. Average nonprofit compensation is shown to range from $20,000 to $70,000. An example individual's salary is broken down showing a $45,000 base plus commissions

The document summarizes key learnings from research conducted by the Potential Energy Coalition, a nonprofit working to increase support for climate action. Some of their main findings include:
1) Simplicity is needed - most people do not understand climate change terminology and concepts. Human stories about everyday people are more effective than policy language.
2) Appealing to humanity works best - messaging that discusses people's identities, fears and hopes for themselves and their families increases support for climate action more than messages about economic or environmental issues.
3) Holding polluters accountable resonates - messages holding the fossil fuel industry responsible for causing climate change are highly motivating across many audiences.

Implications Of Climate Change For Insurance Ciwem07
The document discusses climate change adaptation and insurance. It notes that adaptation responses are needed for habitable housing, flexible commercial buildings, risk-based development, reliable transportation, secure energy and water supplies, and a well-educated workforce. Flooding is seen as the most important climate change risk. The document then outlines a hierarchy of choices for climate change adaptation, including locating properties outside floodplains or in low-risk areas, raising occupied areas above flood heights, and examining flood defenses and mitigation measures. It advocates for actions to prevent further climate change and protect against inevitable impacts through community planning, development practices, building design, and individual behaviors.

To address air pollution, cities will need to work in coordination with nearby cities and at the regional level. This seminar will highlight key lessons from the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP) that can help cities integrate airshed governance strategies into their air pollution management plans and policies.Positive Responses to Sustainability issues
The document discusses sustainability and climate change as key issues driving agendas and consumer preferences. It notes that awareness is increasing through various media and that climate change poses serious risks to growth if strong action is not taken. Several key policy actions are needed like pricing carbon and supporting low-carbon technologies. The document also discusses market forces and opportunities around sustainability for businesses, including growing consumer demand for more ethical and environmentally-friendly options.
Beyond Scaling Up: Reviewing the evidence
This presentation was given at the 'Beyond Scaling Up: Pathways to Universal Access' workshop which was held at the Institute of Development Studies, Brighton on the 24-25 May, 2010. This event was co-sponsored by the Future Health Systems Research Programme Consortium and the STEPS Centre. Pinto presented the work of Aline on agricultural measurement issues.
Infographic_Millennials_Survey_EN
African millennials are highly concerned about climate change, with 50% saying they are very concerned. The majority have experienced effects of climate change like unpredictable rainfall, increased crops and animal disease, and desertification. While most inform themselves through TV, radio and newspapers, they think governments are not doing enough to address climate change and believe the African Union and international bodies should lead the fight. Initiatives supported include promoting clean water access, renewable energies, and reducing plastic waste.

This is a presentation on "Institutional Dimensions of Climate Change: The Role of Property Rights and Collective Action", given by Ruth Meinzen-Dick on February 19, 2010 at the FAO in Rome.
Strategic Home Composting
This document discusses strategic home composting and its benefits. It explains that composting can eliminate waste, reverse global warming by sequestering carbon and preventing methane emissions, and help grow urban ecosystems by providing local food, wildlife habitat, and ecosystem services. Composting can also connect youth with nature through school programs. The document advises planning strategically to be proactive on rodents, and notes that budgets and bandwidth are key. It emphasizes meaningfully engaging communities of color and creating welcoming spaces and programs to advance racial equity, diversity and inclusion.
Risk Assessment & Prediction Of Hazards
Risk is the probability of a hazard event causing harmful consequences. Factors like experience, wealth, and personality affect people's perceptions of risk. There are three responses to hazards: do nothing, leave the area, or adjust. Adjusting involves preventing or modifying the hazard event, modifying vulnerability, or modifying potential losses. Common ways to adjust include hazard prevention, warning systems, community preparedness, land use planning, insurance, and disaster aid. The goal is to manage risk through a continuous cycle of assessment, prevention, preparation, and recovery.
Taboo Subjects and Red Herrings - Robin Webster
This document discusses communicating about climate change and overcoming climate silence. It notes that climate concern is at record high levels in the UK, with over half of adults very concerned about climate change. However, climate silence remains an issue, with many people not wanting to talk about climate change due to feelings of guilt, fear of scary topics, or not knowing enough. The document advises that messaging on climate change should include both negative and positive information, focusing on solutions to provide hope and efficacy. While many people support limits to air travel and eating less red meat, fewer are willing to completely stop eating meat. The document suggests that lifestyle changes must be part of systemic change and discusses how identity, blame, social norms, and political will
environmental management system
This document discusses various aspects of sustainable development and environmental management. It addresses the importance of lifting people out of poverty while also dealing with environmental problems. Different approaches to sustainability are mentioned, including physical interdependence, energy flow, and population dynamics. An effective environmental management system includes life cycle assessment, identifying and prioritizing actions, and selecting environmentally compatible materials. Renewable energy, specifically wind farms, are discussed as a sustainable solution to energy problems, but their impact on birds is noted as a challenge.

Climate Change, Social Protection & Insurance
Michael Carter from the University of California, Davis discusses using integrated social protection schemes with partial insurance subsidies to reduce vulnerability to climate change. Simulations show insurance subsidies lead to a more even draw on budgets and cheaper costs compared to just cash transfers. Insurance also leads to growth impacts by allowing asset transfers. However, if climate change risks become too severe, even targeted programs may lose efficacy and pricing risk becomes problematic, raising the need for public reinsurance solutions.
Globalisation and Corporate Social Responsibility Report
This document outlines an assignment for a student to analyze and evaluate the corporate social responsibility strategies of four companies - AG Barrs, Britvic, Coca Cola, and PepsiCo. The student is instructed to use frameworks involving stakeholder theory, value chain analysis, and Carroll's pyramid of corporate social responsibility. The student's analysis found that the companies generally took reactive CSR approaches and could improve in various ways such as publishing formal CSR reports, ensuring strategic alignment of activities, and adhering to their own sustainability commitments. Recommendations included becoming more proactive and strategic in CSR efforts.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to voluntary actions that businesses take to operate in an economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable manner. CSR acknowledges that companies have a responsibility to various stakeholders, including employees, customers, investors, communities, and the environment. CSR involves businesses integrating social and environmental concerns into their operations and interactions with stakeholders on a voluntary basis.

Introduction to csr
This document provides an overview of corporate social responsibility (CSR) including definitions of CSR, different views on CSR, and arguments for and against CSR. It defines CSR as a voluntary commitment by companies to behave ethically and improve quality of life for stakeholders. There are two main views on CSR - the shareholder view that a company's only responsibility is to maximize shareholder wealth, and the stakeholder view that companies should treat all stakeholders with dignity. The document also discusses whether companies should be involved in CSR and outlines some pros and cons of CSR engagement.
globalisation and the indian economy
Globalization has increasingly interconnected production and trade across international borders over the last several decades. The rise of multinational corporations that produce goods across multiple countries has led to interlinked global supply chains. Advances in technology and liberalization of trade policies have further enabled the integration of once-isolated national markets. While globalization has increased choices and lowered costs for many consumers, its benefits have not been evenly distributed. A fair globalization that promotes inclusive development for all nations and peoples remains a work in progress.
Corporate social responsbility
This document discusses corporate social responsibility (CSR). It defines CSR as businesses fulfilling their duty to care for society and integrating social and environmental concerns into their operations. International organizations see CSR as companies voluntarily managing processes to have an overall positive societal impact. Benefits of CSR include winning new business, attracting employees, and enhancing reputation. The document outlines CSR initiatives focused on markets, products, employees, society, and the environment. While some argue CSR lowers profits, others say it balances corporate power, discourages regulation, and promotes long-term profits. Guidelines are provided for practical CSR application.
CSR Case Study
Nike is a company created in 1972 that is named after the Greek goddess of victory. In 1996, it was revealed that some of Nike's factories in places like Pakistan employed 12-year-olds to make footballs for long hours and low pay in poor conditions. This led Nike to create a code of conduct for suppliers and an excessive overtime task force to address these issues, though short term results were poor. Critics argue Nike could fix such problems by paying workers just 75 cents more per pair of shoes instead of spending $10-12 million annually on corporate social responsibility programs and expenses. There is debate around whether CSR should be seen as crisis management or a true corporate duty and social responsibility.
Csr ppt
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) refers to how businesses negotiate their role in society, while business ethics examines morally appropriate behaviors. While related, CSR does not guarantee ethical behavior. Interest in CSR is growing as companies are increasingly rated on social criteria. Companies engage in CSR to meet public expectations, hire and retain employees, and improve performance. Activities range from profit-maximizing to integrating social objectives into business goals. Businesses are developing global ethics through codes of conduct, certification, and following global standards to create consistent rules and reduce uncertainties in interconnected markets. Challenges include rules reflecting powerful interests and inhibiting innovation and adaptation to globalization.

Globalisation slideshare
Globalization is a process that involves the worldwide integration of economies, technologies, and cultures. It began accelerating in the late 20th century due to advances in transportation and communication technology. While globalization has led to increased economic opportunities through expanded trade and investment, it has also contributed to cultural and economic homogenization. It has impacted systems of governance, urban development, labor markets, and gender norms around the world. Both supporters and critics of globalization make arguments around its effects on issues like sovereignty, inequality, and cultural diversity.
The Causes and Effects of Globalisation
Globalization refers to the increasing interconnectedness of economies and societies around the world through trade and information sharing. There are three main types - economic, social, and political. Key drivers of globalization include improved communications like the internet, improved transportation infrastructure, free trade agreements, global banking, and the growth of multinational corporations. The effects of globalization include a changed global food supply, increased outsourcing and less job security in some countries, potential environmental damage from increased trade and transport, homogenization of cultures, and a rise in anti-globalization protests.

“The Effects of Source Credibility Perceptions and Ego-Involvement on Green M...
The present study examines the persuasive effects of green marketing appeals by corporations from industries with highly-publicized histories of environmental disregard, specifically multinational petroleum corporations (MPC’s). Prior research has been done regarding corporate environmental communication and perceived environmental legitimacy, or credibility regarding the firm’s relationship with the environment. Research specifically investigating the persuasive effectiveness of green marketing, however, by traditionally environmentally-unfriendly companies is extremely sparse. It is for this reason that this study attempted to measure audience perceptions of oil companies as credible sources of information. These perceptions were based off appeals by these companies focused on proper interactions with the environment. A secondary focus of the study was an examination of whether or not an audience member’s ego involvement with the environment significantly influences their likelihood of being persuaded by an appeal. The study was conducted with undergraduate students from a small, Midwestern liberal arts university serving as participants and specifically examines whether a televised, environmentally-based advertisement from Chevron Corporation entitled Untapped Energy increased the company’s perceived environmental legitimacy among viewers as well as how viewer involvement factors into this process.

The document discusses several topics related to climate change and the environment:
1) For the past few years, climate change has been widely discussed but action has not matched the discussion. Winter is already feeling the effects of climate change with seasons merging into one another.
2) The pressures on the planet come from human lifestyles as the world spends over $7 trillion annually on energy and infrastructure. While research aims to address climate change, individual actions are also needed.
3) The financial crisis, food supply, energy, and climate change are all interlinked issues that require global cooperation to address. The response to these challenges will help determine the future prosperity and sustainability of the global economy.

Child Centered CSDRM
The Climate Smart Disaster Risk Management approach was developed by the
Strengthening Climate Resilience (SCR) programme, a DFID funded programme
implemented by the Institute of Development Studies (UK), Christian Aid and Plan
International. Through a period of two years (2010-2011), SCR worked extensively
with policy makers and practitioners to develop the Climate Smart Disaster Risk
Management (CSDRM) approach. The approach seeks to address the gap in
effectively incorporating climate change into disaster risk management (DRM) work,
to ensure development work is both climate smart and disaster proof. The CSDRM
approach was developed iteratively with over 1,000 policy makers, practitioners,
scientists and academics from ten at risk countries in Asia and Africa1.
