Mobile energy education laboratories (MEELs) can help improve implementation of China's environmental policies by raising awareness. MEELs are mobile classrooms that travel nationwide, educating the general public, students, local officials, and communities about energy and environmental topics through hands-on activities, workshops, and presentations. This increases knowledge of technologies and influences social norms, supporting behavioral changes needed for policy success. MEELs aim to build partnerships and train experts to disseminate information widely. Their impact could include increased awareness, energy savings, and lower emissions over time.

Current Situation & Development Framework of Sino-Foreign Eco-CitiesSmartEcoCity (SEC)
Due to the challenges of climate change, creating eco-cities has gradually become the paramount goal of global urban construction. As the primary region of urban construction in the world, China has a significant impact on sustainable development: 80% of prefecture-level cities have a minimum of one eco-city being considered for construction. Various versions of the eco-city model are being developed in China, all of which seek to impose change at a rapid pace and on a vast scale. An underlying bilateral partnership framework has led to the success of several Sino-Foreign eco-city projects. According to research, the three key components for developing a successful Sino-Foreign eco-city are: an inclusive political framework, a comprehensive organizational and financial structure and robust technical solutions.

Roadmap for CCS Demonstration and Deployment for the People's Republic of ChinaGlobal CCS Institute
Deploying CCS in developing countries is critically important. The International Energy Agency estimates that to achieve global emissions reduction targets 70% of CCS projects will be in non-OECD countries by 2050.
Achieving deep decarbonisation of the heavily coal-based energy system of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) while maintaining gross domestic product growth at an acceptable rate, requires additional efforts beyond strengthening energy efficiency and the further introduction of renewable energy. CCS is an essential low-carbon option for the PRC. It is currently the only near-commercial system of technologies that offers medium to long term opportunities to make very deep cuts in carbon dioxide emissions from industrial processes and power plants based on coal (and other fossil fuels), while enabling the continued utilisation of coal in a low carbon way for such major applications.
The Roadmap assesses the potential, the barriers and challenges in developing CCS in the PRC and recommends necessary policy actions during the 13th Five-Year Plan and the medium term to facilitate CCS demonstration and deployment.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Editor's Notes
More than 70% of china’s urban waterways are said to be contaminated with chemicals and effluent
China is a coal based economy-- this massive consumption leads to heavy emssions of CO2 which is a major source of acid rain and a global-scale air pollution,. Its coastal waters and regional seas are suffering from an increasing burden of land-based pollution in many areas; Effects every single ecosystem
Addiontally Cities suffer from dangerously high levels of particle matter and green house gases, which effect health and leads to an increase of cancer and respiratory diesases
China, however, remains the second largest contributor of greenhouse gases, and is still the
world’s largest producer and consumer of ozone-depleting substances
Comprehensive environmental laws and MEA- including a clean air act, waste management act and solida hazadours waste act
11th 5th-year plan sets out ambitious targets for 20% increase in energy productivity by 2020. 16% of China’s energy from renewable sources
Overall 10% decrease in emissions by 2010
The main problem is that there lack of strong monitoring, inspection and enforcement capabilities, which leads to the lack of effectiveness of otherwise sound policies, laws and regulations

Overall 10% decrease in emissions by 2010
The main problem is that there lack of strong monitoring, inspection and enforcement capabilities, which leads to the lack of effectiveness of otherwise sound policies, laws and regulations
- implementation is important to systematically study as it is a key feature to the policy process and learning from implementation problems can foster learning about better ways to structure policies to ensure that they have the effects that designers of such policies seek.
- top down or bottom up approaches to implementatio
What i hope to accomplish is how one with appropriate mix of programs and polices to can help implement these sound environmental polices.
Behavior change can only take place in the context of an enabling and supportive environment.
To be able to fully adapt these environmental policies need to have own personal ability to understand the impacts of a poor environment has on health and overall wellbeing.
Environmental letters of complaints can be one indicator of environmental protection consciousness. Increase letters of complaints to the governments show increase concern and awareness of what can be done. Although there are no clause in the government laws that will allow
1998 150,000 letters
2004- 600,000 Letters
Since the 1970s with the fall of Mao and the “ opening-up” of the country one can see the runs parrell to an rise in environmental disputes fueled by a sense of indiviudal rights related to increasing openiness and prospering.
50,000 environmental disputes in May 2006 were reported, which ultimately threatens authority
June 2007 citizens of Xiamen a city at the southeastern coast known for it’s eco tourism industry demonstrated aganist the construction of a chemical factory in their city.
In May 2008, citizens of Chengu demonstrated against hte contrstucion of a pterochemcial facorty and oil refinery citing envionmental concerns.
These examples prove that the chinese have the mindset to adapt their behaviour and make a change in their own habits and lifestyle to save the environment from furhter degradation.
The chinese environmental awareness program conducted public environmental survey in 2007 providing details about environmental awareness,raise awareness through the whole nation and provide scientific data on decision making. the respondants were living in both urban and rural areas, ranging in age from 16-69. Exactly 3001 people from 20 provinces

Model made in 2002 in their report called, Mind the Gap: Why do people act in environmentally and what are the barriers to thpro-environmental behaviour
They see environmental knowledge values and attidutes, together with emotional involvemnt as making up a complex, “pro-enviornmental consciousness”
They identify certain factors
Demographics- such as gender and years of education
Longer the education the more extensive the knowledge about environmental issues. But more knowledge doesn’t
Behavioral change is a process that involves both progress and period relapse. Like discussed before behavior change can only take place in the context of an enabling and supportive environment. We are using this model to understand my final possible solution to implementing environmental policy.
Social Features-
Cultural- behaviors and attitudes considered acceptable in given contexts
Ethical and Spiritual- influence of persnal and shared vvalues and disucssion about moral systems

Educational Outreach Vehicle
Designed to educate students, teachers and the communti in Renewabe energy by proving handson demonstration to both the public and local schools.
2007- one Renew bus reached 65 teachers, 4600 students and 3695 consumers
Refurbished city bus that includes poster displays, shelves of infromational material, dislay areas for demonstration objects and a conference area. Two television screens for visual presetnations and onboard computer facilites. similar projects were found in Berling belgum and the Netherlands. The bus would travel to local commuities, schools, business and other public spaces
Energy bus was an overall success and attracted more than 25,000 visitors by 2004 and by completion 50,000 in 2005.
Those that visited the bus 30% said they wanted to implement the measures immediately whitle 56% said they would implement these measures sometime in the future
