The document presents research on achieving sustainable development that meets both human and environmental needs by 2050. It describes two scenarios: 1) "business-as-usual" where trends continue without coordination, and 2) a "sustainable path" with cross-sector collaboration. Modeling shows the sustainable path can provide food, water and energy for a larger population while better protecting nature, through changes like sustainable agriculture and clean energy. However, urgent global collaboration is needed across sectors like public health, development and conservation to achieve this vision.

The multidiciplinary nature of environmental studies.pptxYashSehrawat20
This document provides an overview of environmental science and studies. It defines the environment as the sum of all conditions and influences affecting life. It describes the major components of the environment as the biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. The goals of environmental studies are outlined as improving environmental quality, creating awareness of problems, and enabling participation in decision making. The scope of environmental studies, science, and engineering is explained in relation to understanding human interaction with the environment and developing sustainable practices.
The document summarizes a workshop on institutions for ecosystem services that took place from October 27-29, 2014. The workshop objectives were to encourage sharing of research on links between institutions and ecosystem services, synthesize lessons about institutional arrangements needed to ensure ecosystem service projects deliver benefits, and identify policies to strengthen supporting institutions. It provided background on ecosystem services and discussed topics like the importance of institutions at multiple scales, challenges around time lags and spatial disconnects between ecosystem service production and use, and lessons that can be learned from other research and cases.
This document discusses re-wilding strategies and nature-based solutions as a way to address environmental challenges and preserve biodiversity. It argues that focusing on nature-based solutions and improving green infrastructure can help maintain healthy ecosystems, reconnect fragmented natural areas, and restore damaged habitats. The document provides an introduction to nature-based solutions and green infrastructure, and discusses key opportunities around enhancing sustainable urbanization, improving ecosystem restoration, developing climate change adaptation and mitigation, and improving risk management and resilience. It recommends further research and innovative actions in these areas.
Environmental science is a multidisciplinary field that draws from various areas like science, humanities, and engineering. It aims to study the environment and address environmental problems through an integrated approach. Some key areas of focus include natural resources and their conservation, ecology, environmental pollution and control, and the socio-economic aspects of development activities. Studying environmental science helps in maintaining ecological balance, raising awareness about environmental issues, and developing sustainable solutions to problems like pollution. It is an important field with many career opportunities including areas like consulting, research, environmental management, and journalism.
The document discusses environmental policy, outlining its objectives, principles, purpose and strategies. Environmental policy aims to manage human activities to prevent harm to nature and ensure human-made changes don't damage the environment or humans. The key objectives of India's National Environment Policy include conserving critical resources, ensuring livelihoods and equity between generations. Environmental policy establishes regulatory frameworks and incorporates environmental concerns into development plans to efficiently manage resources and governance.
Bob Watson, Tyndall Centre, UEA - #steps13STEPS Centre
This document outlines Bob Watson's presentation on translating sound science into sound policy. It discusses key elements of the science-policy process including national and international research programs and assessments. It emphasizes that good science is essential but not sufficient for public policy and that decision-makers need consensus views on evidence, uncertainties, and policy implications. International assessments like those conducted by the IPCC and future proposed programs like Future Earth and the Intergovernmental Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services can help provide this evidence base.
Planetary boundaries are nine Earth system processes identified as being critical for human society and the planet. Three of the nine boundaries cited in the document are biodiversity loss, climate change, and pollution. Biodiversity refers to genetic diversity within species, species diversity, and ecosystem diversity, and it underpins crucial ecosystem services that humans rely on. The current rate of species extinction is estimated to be hundreds to thousands of times higher than the natural background rate, constituting a sixth mass extinction. Five drivers of biodiversity loss are discussed: land-use change, overexploitation, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. Business impacts and relies on biodiversity through its activities and value chains, so it must consider both mitigating

Environmental science is a multidisciplinary field that studies the natural environment and how human activities impact it. It draws from disciplines like biology, chemistry, physics, economics and social sciences to understand environmental systems and address environmental problems. The document discusses how environmental science studies the biotic and abiotic components of the environment and their interactions. It also examines how topics like ecology, pollution, natural resource use, and sustainability require perspectives from multiple disciplines. The goal of environmental studies is to promote awareness of environmental issues and solutions through understanding the natural and human systems influencing the environment.
This document discusses the linkages between environment and human rights. It covers the evolution of environmental law from the 1970s to present. Key points include that a healthy environment is integral to human well-being and rights, and that both fields share common interests in sustainable development. The document also examines recognition of these linkages at international, regional, and national levels through agreements, constitutions, and laws. Challenges to further integrating human rights and environmental protection are also outlined.
The document summarizes proceedings from a workshop on climate change for civil society organizations in Andhra Pradesh, India. It discusses how watershed development projects can integrate climate change concerns by promoting adaptation strategies.

Water is critical for meeting commitments of the Paris Agreement and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Our economies rely on water, with recent estimates putting the economic value of water and freshwater ecosystems at USD 58 trillion - equivalent to 60% of global GDP. At the same time, water related risks are increasing in frequency and scale in the context of climate change.
How are investments shaping our economies and societies exposure to water risk? What role can the financial system play in supporting water security? And how can increased understanding of how finance both impacts and depends on water resources spur action towards greater water security?
This OECD Green Talks LIVE on Tuesday 14 May 2024 from 15:00 to 16:00 CEST discussed the evolving landscape for assessing water risks to the financial system.
OECD Policy Analyst Lylah Davies presented key findings and recommendations from recent OECD work on assessing the financial materiality of water-related risks, including the recently published paper “Watered down? Investigating the financial materiality of water-related risks” and was joined by experts to discuss relevant initiatives underway.

The aim is to identify robust modelling approaches to inform the work for the upcoming OECD Environmental Outlook.
Earth Day How has technology changed our life?
Thinkers/Inquiry • How has our ability to think and inquire helped to advance technology?
Vocabulary • Nature Deficit Disorder~ A condition that some people maintain is a spreading affliction especially affecting youth but also their adult counterparts, characterized by an excessive lack of familiarity with the outdoors and the natural world. • Precautionary Principle~ The approach whereby any possible risk associated with the introduction of a new technology is largely avoided, until a full understanding of its impact on health, environment and other areas is available.
What is technology? • Brainstorm a list of technology that you use everyday that your parents or grandparents did not have. • Compare your list with a partner.
The modification of an existing product or the formulation of a new product to fill a newly identified market niche or customer need are both examples of product development. This study generally developed and conducted the formulation of aramang baked products enriched with malunggay conducted by the researchers. Specifically, it answered the acceptability level in terms of taste, texture, flavor, odor, and color also the overall acceptability of enriched aramang baked products. The study used the frequency distribution for evaluators to determine the acceptability of enriched aramang baked products enriched with malunggay. As per sensory evaluation conducted by the researchers, it was proven that aramang baked products enriched with malunggay was acceptable in terms of Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color, and Texture. Based on the results of sensory evaluation of enriched aramang baked products proven that three (3) treatments were all highly acceptable in terms of variable Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color and Textures conducted by the researchers.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.

5. How can understanding the socio-economic implications of biodiversity loss help financial
institutions better manage nature-related risks in their investment portfolios?
What are some key challenges for the financial sector in incorporating biodiversity risks
into their decision-making processes and risk assessments?
- First understand the state of nature and nature’s contributions to people in your area
- Identify different types of risks associated with nature – extreme events like drought
fire, pollution, invasive species, pandemic, shift in species habitat
- Map social-ecological causal loops to identify risks, mitigation policies and impacts
- Consider a broad range of short to long term implications - not only immediate
damages but also longer term impacts
- Explore multiple benefits for acting on climate biodiversity and people – solutions, not
just risks
- This requires working with scientific communities as well as governing/decision bodies
– we are aspiring and moving in the same direction and joint effort makes it more
effective and efficient
- What works for nature works for people!
