The Citizen and Travel
The document discusses air travel, carbon offsetting, and personal responsibility. It notes that CO2 emissions from air travel have tripled due to the growth of low-cost airlines and more travel routes. While individuals see air travel as a rational choice, the desire for mobility may stem from pursuing convenience and fragmented modern lifestyles. Carbon offsetting schemes allow individuals to offset the emissions from their flights, but raise questions about their effectiveness and whether they sanction intrinsically harmful behaviors.
2014 10th Feb People's Charter on Renewable ENergy notes
(1) The People's Charter for Renewable Energy (PCRE) held a meeting to discuss next steps after an event in Portlaoise. They discussed establishing a charter written by citizens to influence national energy policy.
(2) Attendees debated the name of the group and settled on 'People's Charter for Energy' or 'People's Energy Charter.' They also identified 7 parameters for the charter around community involvement, renewable energy, climate change, and more.
(3) The group agreed to engage with the government as it develops a green paper on energy policy and to write to relevant committees. They will organize as a network to expand participation in shaping energy policy.

Securing Rights, Combating Climate Change
Presentation by WRI President and CEO Andrew Steer WRI/Resources and Rights Initiative (RRI) release of the report "Securing Rights, Combating Climate Change: How Strengthening Community Forest Rights Mitigates Climate Change" at NPR in Washington, DC on July 24, 2014.
Stories to Watch 2019 #STW19
The document discusses several topics including:
1) Poverty falling but inequality rising as the richest 42 people own as much wealth as the poorest 3.7 billion.
2) Global emissions are on the rise again in 2018 with a 3.4% increase in the US, the biggest since 2010, leading to more extreme climate events like stronger storms and fiercer fires.
3) The fashion industry is surging but also creating a large amount of waste and pollution while some companies are pioneering more sustainable practices.

UPDATED VERSION: Our working paper into the 3rd International Conference on S...Energy for One World
This document is an abstract for a paper presented at the UN SDSN and ICSDP conferences on sustainable energy and climate change. The paper discusses the need to better organize efforts in the energy sector to realize the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and build sustainable societies. It argues that current organizational forms may need to change as the scale of sustainable development efforts increases. The paper proposes exploring new forms of collaboration between businesses, governments, and organizations across borders to rise to this global challenge. It emphasizes the importance of leadership, innovation, and working together across silos to develop more integrated and sustainable energy architectures.State of Climate Action 2021
Combatting the climate crisis requires society to rapidly transform all the systems that propel our economy, including power generation, buildings, industry, transport, land use and more. But by how much? And how can decision-makers make it happen?
Developed by partners contributing to the Systems Change Lab, the "State of Climate Action 2021" report identifies 40 indicators across key sectors that must transform to address the climate crisis and assesses how current trends stack up against targets for 2030 and 2050 to limit warming to 1.5 degrees C. The analysis will highlight both encouraging bright spots that are witnessing exponential change as well as sectors that are well off track and demand urgent attention.

World Energy Council : Energy Trilemma Index 2021
This document summarizes the key findings of the 2021 World Energy Trilemma Index, which assesses how well countries perform across the three dimensions of energy security, energy equity, and environmental sustainability.
The top performers are largely OECD countries in Europe and North America. Sweden ranks first overall. The top improvers since 2000 include Cambodia, Myanmar, and the Dominican Republic.
In energy security, Canada, Finland, and Romania rank highest. Kenya showed the greatest improvement. For energy equity, Qatar, Kuwait, and the UAE rank highest while Nepal showed the greatest gains. The pandemic's long-term impacts on energy systems remain unclear.
Peter Victor: Managing without Growth - Slower by Design, not Disaster
1. The document discusses moving away from prioritizing economic growth and instead managing economies with slower or no growth in a sustainable way.
2. It argues that the economy is a subsystem of the biosphere and that the current scale and intensity of the economy places an excessive burden on the environment.
3. While technology can help reduce this impact, changes are also needed to address the scale of resource use and production, as well as growing inequality between rich and poor countries. The document presents some scenarios and policies for managing economies without continuous growth.
Ellen MacArthur Foundation Amsterdam presentation - 24 oct 2013
This document discusses enabling circularity in the American economy by addressing challenges and opportunities. It summarizes that a sharing economy is dependent on density and technology. It also notes that the circular economy could provide a competitive advantage for the US compared to shale gas. The document then outlines some of the causes of rising activism around issues like climate policy, coal, oil sands, fracking and petroleum. It proposes that stakeholder engagement can build bridges between corporations and activists. Finally, it presents some barriers to and catalysts for transitioning to a circular economy.

EFOW : Year 2018- "In Focus"
This document provides an overview of global developments in energy and sustainability from 2015-2017. Some key points covered include the Paris Climate Agreement in 2015, progress and challenges in implementing the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, and shifts in energy markets and technologies driven by climate policies, renewable energy growth, and other factors. It discusses perspectives from organizations like the IEA, UN, and others on trajectories for renewable energy adoption and decarbonization. The document frames 2018 and beyond as an opportunity to further scale up efforts across sectors and levels to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable energy and economic system globally.
EFOW draft opening statement- post- COP26 event (sample)
1. The speaker found COP26 came at an important time as climate warnings become more severe, but the formal negotiations fell short of meeting the Paris Agreement goals.
2. Some positive developments happened outside the formal negotiations, like pledges from businesses and new initiatives between countries. John Kerry and China also announced a new declaration with substantive actions.
3. The energy transition has been ongoing for 10 years but drivers are now more focused on climate change. Opportunities exist but there is a lack of coordination between governments, businesses, and finance to scale up investments needed to meet climate goals. China appears to be building capabilities to become a clean energy superpower.
Climate Equity December 2007
- Climate change poses a serious threat and is already causing dangerous impacts like rising sea levels and more extreme weather events. Urgent action is needed to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- Developed countries need to cut emissions by 30% or more by 2020, while developing countries should pursue low-carbon growth strategies to avoid future emissions increases rather than legally binding cuts.
- A new framework is needed that establishes per capita emissions rights and a global carbon market to facilitate a just transition to low-carbon economies worldwide by 2050.

Greener web development at PHP London
This document discusses ways that web developers can help address climate change through greener development practices. It recommends reducing personal impacts through actions like eating less meat, using green electricity, driving electric vehicles, and offsetting remaining emissions. For companies, it suggests starting to measure carbon footprints, advocating for change within organizations, improving back-end efficiency through tools like PHP 7, optimizing for reduced bandwidth usage, and selling these practices by noting their cost-saving and accessibility benefits in addition to environmental impacts. The document closes by encouraging joining a climate advocacy group and identifying areas where one's technical stack overuses energy.

PR, positioning and a carbon tax: applying a new conceptual framework to the ...
This study examines the role of public relations in constructing mediated forms of communication- specifically the use of the social media site YouTube by the Australian Government and the Opposition to position the introduction of a carbon price.
The study found that both parties used YouTube to support their positions that a carbon price was good for Australia (Government), or bad for Australia (Opposition). The Government’s supporting storylines centred on the financial opportunities that the scheme would offer in terms of new energy technologies. Contrastingly the Opposition’s storylines played into community concerns about the global financial crisis, with the crisis used as a rationale for not introducing a carbon tax. These storylines/positions were strongly supported by visual communication, with both Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Opposition leader Tony Abbott self-positioning as authority figures.
Assessment of White House's Open Government Initiative
The White House Open Government Initiative established in 2009 has greatly increased transparency, participation, and collaboration through innovative social media techniques. The Initiative has over 1 million Facebook fans, 2 million Twitter followers, and subscribers on other platforms. It publishes vast government data online and solicits public input to develop policies. While complex to implement initially, the Initiative offers advantages like never before seen government openness and sets a standard future presidents can build upon. Its greatest strength is improving observability of the government through digital tools.

Climate Advocacy in the Obama Years:
Assessing Strategies for Societal Change
Matthew C. Nisbet
Northeastern University
Sept 25 5pm-6pm
Boston University
Life Sciences Building, B-01
24 Cummington Mall
This lecture evaluates the contrasting political strategies, communication approaches, and policy options pursued by U.S. advocacy groups, philanthropists, and their allies as they urge societal action to address climate change. Though these often competing networks of groups accept the undeniable, human causes of climate change, they each tend to emphasize a unique discourse about the problem, reflecting diverging views of society, nature, technology, policy, and politics. By reflecting on these differences and their implications, we can usefully think through the many ways that our own biases shape how we perceive the political conflict over climate change, who we blame, and what we prefer to be done. The goal is not to choose among competing perspectives, but to constructively grapple with their tensions and uncertainties. Through this process, we can hold our own convictions and opinions more lightly, identifying what is of value among the ideas offered by those on the left, right, and in the center.

CORE presentation - May 11 2011
This document discusses how social media is changing the business of conflict resolution. It notes that social media allows for broadcast conversations and new expectations around participation and transparency. Mediators can use social media to build social capital through engagement and adding value. New services are emerging that use conflict resolution expertise combined with mobile and online tools. The document provides strategies for mediators to get started with social media, including signing up, engaging, publishing, measuring and learning through experience.
Social & mobile media as a driver for social & environmental change
Social media has revolutionized human behavior by allowing people to embrace differences, remove distance barriers, and expand social concern. It facilitates mass collaboration on projects, enables people to promote causes, and aligns social values. Corporations are leveraging social media to enable social and environmental change by engaging customers on issues like planting trees and reducing paper cup use. Examples show how brands have generated millions of votes, comments, and social media followers through impactful social media campaigns.
Government After Shock - New Orders
Discussion on the balance of power post-pandemic between north and south, central and regional government, the UK parliament and devolved nations between:
* Former UK Deputy Prime Minister Lord Michael Heseltine;
* The Mayor of Greater Manchester Combined Authority Andy Burnham;
* Professor Arpana Verma of The University of Manchester;
* Jacqui Mckinlay of the Centre for Governance and Scrutiny (CfGS) in the attached.

This report is a brief synopsis of New Orders, an event organised in collaboration with the UK Open Government Network.
See Appendix One for further background.
S2 halina brown
This document discusses the need for major social change to reduce consumption and transition to a more sustainable economy and culture. It argues that small-scale initiatives alone will not be enough, and outlines four important contexts that need consideration: 1) Transitioning away from an economy dependent on private consumption and toward one focused on public investment and social spending. 2) Challenging the neoliberal ideology that has disembedded the economy from society. 3) Supporting low-income city inhabitants and balancing market forces with investments in public amenities and housing. 4) Recognizing that cultural and technological changes are intertwined with economic and institutional transformations.

Building the climate movement online
How can the Web be used to build a powerful social movement to avert dangerous climate change? This presentation summarises an action research project conducted by the Change Agency (http://wwwthechangeagency.org) during mid-2008.
Public policy and the information revolution 4.20.12
This document discusses how public policy and the information revolution influence each other. Public policy can help advance the information revolution by promoting broadband access and open government initiatives. The information revolution can improve public policy formation by enabling crowdsourcing of ideas and the creation of civic apps that increase public participation. The document provides three local examples of these interactions: fiber sharing between the CTA and Cook County, a property tax information portal, and an open data website for Chicago metro area.
Finding frames new ways to engage the uk public in global poverty bond 2011
This report examines ways to re-engage the UK public in addressing global poverty by exploring the potential of framing theory and values. It finds that public concern for global poverty has remained largely unchanged over the past 25 years despite major campaigns. The development sector's current practices have focused on increasing donations through "cheap participation" rather than deepening understanding. The report argues for a new approach using framing and values to motivate sustained public action on the structural causes of poverty. It aims to spark sector-wide debate and further research into refining positive frames that build broad coalitions around shared values of justice and human dignity.

Innovadores Globales: "Ponte pa' tu pais"
1) The document summarizes a citizen engagement initiative called "Ponte pa' tu país" launched by the 2012 presidential campaign of Danilo Medina in the Dominican Republic.
2) The initiative allowed citizens to submit proposals online, vote on proposals, and have the most popular ideas incorporated into the government's policy platform. Over 3,000 proposals were submitted and 500 evaluated.
3) The initiative helped grow Medina's social media following substantially and understand that citizens are politically organizing through social channels without traditional parties or media. It showed a new way of doing politics is possible through digital civic participation.
High Road
The document proposes a values-based communications framework for progressive economics. It outlines six principles: 1) secure basic freedoms like healthcare and education; 2) invest in education and research to compete in the 21st century; 3) democratize economic power through policies like unions, progressive taxation, and living wages; 4) build a green economy to address environmental problems; 5) regulate capitalism through policies to avoid economic crises; and 6) globalize this progressive approach through international trade policies. The framework is intended to provide clear and consistent messaging to communicate progressive values to the public.
Breaking the Box
This document discusses the importance of public media and the challenges it faces. It summarizes that while public media has succeeded in meeting many of its goals of serving the public interest since 1967, it is now underfunded and its programming is under political assault. It argues that the existing funding system cannot support public media's transition to digital media, which will require billions of dollars. The document calls for a unified movement with a long-term vision to develop a sustainable funding model and policy solution to ensure a flourishing non-commercial media system that serves all citizens.
Social Media & Sustainability - HEC
The document discusses how social media has shifted power dynamics and enabled more collaborative and participatory approaches to sharing information. It outlines how traditional media was controlled by brands whereas social media allows for user-generated content and two-way conversations. Examples are given of social networks and initiatives that aim to leverage the network effects of social platforms to spread knowledge and solutions related to sustainability.
Unbundling Governance
The document discusses how governance can be "unbundled" by distributing government functions through technology and citizen participation. It provides examples from Bowen Island, Canada where citizen initiatives like a crowdsourced road conditions map emerged during a snowstorm, bypassing traditional government processes. The author argues that crises, political will, and "constructive renegades" can drive this unbundling. Governments may take on more of a facilitator role by integrating citizen input and data. For unbundling to work, citizens need to create tools, relate institutional data, and embrace responsibility while governments embrace openness.
Youth And The Climate Movement
The document discusses the growing youth climate movement and its goals, strategies, and successes. It outlines how the movement has expanded rapidly in recent years through diverse campus and community efforts, influencing policies and commitments to renewable energy and emissions reductions. While online strategies are important, the document encourages youth to take real action by getting involved in local climate and sustainability organizations and initiatives.

Looking for (Lesbian) Love: Social Media Subtext Readings of Rizzoli and Isles
Looking for (Lesbian) Love: Social Media Subtext Readings of Rizzoli and IslesIllinois Institute of Technology
Presentation from IR16, the annual conference of the Association of Internet Researchers.
Using Fiske’s (1989) semiotic supermarket metaphor, I examine how Twitter users mix and match moments from Rizzoli and Isles to create a coherent lesbian subtext. To do so, I use tweets containing the portmanteau hashtag #Rizzles or the related tag #Gayzzoli posted during two different episodes of the show. Live tweeting affords us an opportunity to eavesdrop on viewers’ listening activities and provides data useful for testing theories about reading/viewing and participation. I demonstrate the utility of analyzing live tweeting and provide examples of how live tweeters publicly read resistant subtexts.Teaching Students to Lie, Manipulate, and Mislead with Information Visualizat...
Teaching Students to Lie, Manipulate, and Mislead with Information Visualizat...Illinois Institute of Technology
We’ve been creating and managing data for centuries, and the recent improvements in technology make more data readily available to more people. This wealth of data can help us make better decisions, understand complex phenomena, and communicate effectively, but only when used appropriately. Visualization is one of the best ways to tell stories from data, but visualizations can also mislead and confuse. In this presentation, I’ll introduce a few exercises you can use with your students to help them learn to design effective information visualizations. We will use real-world data and a variety of software tools to create visualizations that inform, persuade, and illuminate.Tweet Me: Using Social Media to Mobilize People and Customers

Using social media to mobilize people, whether for a product campaign or a political protest, is no easy task. This presentation will highlight some of the challenges organizers and entities face when trying to mobilize and sustain a campaign through social media. It is based on our empirical analysis of the ongoing efforts of political activists to engage the public about the NSA surveillance controversy by use of Twitter.

From DIMACS Workshop on Building Communities for Transforming Social Media Research Through New Approaches for Collecting, Analyzing, and Exploring Social Media Data http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/Workshops/SocialMedia/program.html
Tweet Acts: How constituents lobby Congress via Twitter
Twitter is increasingly becoming a medium through which constituents can lobby their elected representatives in Congress about issues that matter to them. Past research has focused on how citizens communicate with each other or how members of Congress (MOCs) use social media in general; our research examines how citizens communicate with MOCs. We contribute to existing literature through the careful examination of hundreds of citizen-authored tweets and the development of a categorization scheme to describe common strategies of lobbying on Twitter. Our findings show that contrary to past research that assumed citizens used Twitter to merely shout out their opinions on issues, citizens utilize a variety of sophisticated techniques to impact political outcomes.

Ethos and Pragmatics of Data Sharing
The team consists of Matt, a political scientist in Chicago, Libby and Jahna, informationists in Chicago and Cyprus respectively, and Andrew, a graduate student in technical communication in Chicago. They are studying how politicians and constituents use social media like Twitter to discuss public policy and the consequences of these conversations. They will collect Twitter data and analyze it using various tools like Python, Stata, MALLET, and Weka stored on an in-house server with Dropbox for sharing files and Excel for organizing data.
What's Congress Doing on Twitter?
CSCW 2013 Talk, including supplementary slides
As Twitter becomes a more common means for officials to communicate with their constituents, it becomes more important that we understand how officials use these communication tools. Using data from 380 members of Congress’ Twitter activity during the winter of 2012, we find that officials frequently use Twitter to advertise their political positions and to provide information but rarely to request political action from their constituents or to recognize the good work of others. We highlight a number of differences in communication frequency between men and women, Senators and Representatives, Republicans and Democrats. We provide groundwork for future research examining the behavior of public officials online and testing the predictive power of officials’ social media behavior.

My bare bones slide deck from my presentation at WebShop 2012. The talk was streamed live here: https://new.livestream.com/summersocialwebshop/ssw12
Community Structure in Congressional Conversation Networks
This document analyzes Twitter conversation networks among members of Congress. It finds that Republicans, Senators, and males are more likely to mention members of the opposing party or chamber in their tweets. Senators and males are also more likely to mention members of the opposing party. The networks indicate low cohesion among members and that a small subset of members are explicitly engaged by others, reflecting that Twitter is used more for selective outreach than broadcasting to all members. Overall, the networks on Twitter do not show more polarization than political blogs and represent new media being used for existing behaviors rather than entirely novel political interactions.
Chicago Politicians on Twitter
Slides as presented at MPSA 2012.
Paper abstract:
This paper uses data from 1,042 tweets posted by or mentioning Chicago Aldermen or Mayor Rahm Emanuel to examine how Chicago politicians use social media. Twitter provides a public communication medium in which constituents and their representatives can have two-way conversations that others can witness and record, and we used qualitative and social network methods to examine conversations between Chicagoans and representatives in city government. We coded the contents of each tweet over the two-week time period (e.g., official business, fundraising) and created representations of the social networks created by the users’ following behaviors. These networks indicate who receives politicians’ tweets and help identify the audiences for political messaging in social media. Our analysis indicates that Chicago’s Aldermen and Mayor use Twitter for social conversations more often than political ones, and that only a small number of Aldermen dominate the resulting conversation networks.

Doing What I Say: Connecting Congressional Social Media Behavior and Congres...Illinois Institute of Technology
Given at MPSA 2012
Public officials’ communication has been explored at length in terms of how such their statements are conveyed in the traditional media, but minimal research has been done to examine their communication via social media. This paper explores the kinds of statements U.S. officials are making on Twitter in terms of the actions they are trying to achieve. We then analyze the correlation between these statements, Congressional communication network structures, and voting behavior. Our analysis leverages over 29,000 tweets by members of Congress in conjunction with existing DW-NOMINATE voting behavior data. We find that pro-social and self-promoting statements correlate with Congressional voting records but that position within the Congressional communication network does not correlate with voting behavior.Making Laughs: Exploring Social Networks from Second City and Saturday Night ...
Making Laughs: Exploring Social Networks from Second City and Saturday Night ...Illinois Institute of Technology
Chicago's Second City has a long history of producing comedy superstars, many of whom followed alums John Belushi, Dan Aykyrod, and Gilda Radner to NBC's Saturday Night Live (SNL). SNL alums, in turn, have also gone on to large screen success. Mike Myers, Tina Fey, and Steve Carrell are just a few of the recent Second City and SNL alums to enjoy such success. In this talk, I'll use the casts of the Second City Chicago and Saturday Night Live to examine the role of social networks in the production of comedy. Actors and their networks are often used to illustrate network phenomena such as "small worlds" or as fodder for party games such as "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon". In this talk, we'll look specifically at comedy actors and explore whether their associations in one area (e.g., on stage) impact their associations or success in another (e.g., Hollywood).Learning the lingo

On Storytelling & Magic Realism in Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children, Shame, and ...
ABSTRACT: Salman Rushdie’s novels are humorous books about serious times. His cosmopolitanism and
hybrid identity allowed him access to multiple cultures, religions, languages, dialects, and various modes of
writing. His style is often classified as magic realism, blending the imaginary with the real. He draws
inspiration from both English literature and Indian classical sources. Throughout his works, there is a lineage of
‘bastards of history’, a carnival of shameful characters scrolling all along his works. Rushdie intertwines fiction
with reality, incorporating intertextual references to Western literature in his texts, and frequently employing
mythology to explore history. This paper focuses on Rushdie’s three novels: Midnight’s Children, Shame, and
Haroun and the Sea of Stories, analyzing his postmodern storytelling techniques that aim to explore human
vices and follies while offering socio-political criticism.
KEYWORDS : Magic Realism, Rushdie, Satire, Storytelling, Transfictional Identities

ABSTRACT: Security plays an important role in human life and endeavors. Securing information and
disseminating are critical challenges in the present day. This study aimed at identifying innovative technologies
that aid cybercrimes and can constitute threats to cybersecurity in North Central (Middle Belt) Nigeria covering
its six States and the FCT Abuja. A survey research design was adopted. The researchers employed the use of
Google form in administering the structured questionnaire. The instruments were faced validated by one expert
each from ICT and security. Cronbach Alpha reliability Coefficient was employed and achieved 0.83 level of
coefficient. The population of the study was 200, comprising 100 undergraduate students from computer science
and Computer/Robotics Education, 80 ICT instructors, technologists and lecturers in the University and
Technical Colleges in the Middle Belt Nigeria using innovative technologies for their daily jobs and 20 officers
of the crime agency such as: Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) andEconomic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC). Three research purposes and questions as well as the hypothesis guided the study
on Five (5) point Likert scale. Data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation for the three
research questions while three hypotheses were tested using t-test at 0.05 level of significance. Major findings
revealed that serious steps are needed to better secure the cybers against cybercrimes. Motivation, types, threats
and strategies for the prevention of cybercrimes were identified. The study recommends that government,
organizations and individuals should place emphasis on moral development, regular training of its employees,
regular update of software, use strong password, back up data and information, produce strong cybersecurity
policy, install antivirus soft and security surveillance (CCTV) in offices in order to safeguard its employees and
properties from being hacked and vandalized.
